Crackin` Up by @indusrush

This great song was my second single and was written by Tom Clelland, a guy who lives in Wood Green and plays on the street down there regularly. He introduced the song to me when we both lived in Woking, where we both grew up. I saw him play in the pub and immediately liked his eccentricity and his music, and we'd had a lot in common, having done the Brixton scene in the 70's. I played this song Live with the Big Buddha Blues Band in Thailand, and still love it now, so I included it on my first album.

LYRICS

Lyrics for "Crackin' Up"

First you're a baby, then your a child,
They send you to school with your head runnin' wild.
Give you some lessons to slow you right down,
It takes you 20 more years just to come back around,

You're Crackin' up,
You're Crackin' up,
You're Crackin' up,

Then you leave school at a suitable age,
You get yourself a job with a suitable wage.
The management say "Hey!, You're just what we need,
You'd better wanna follow as we wanna lead",

You're Crackin' up,
You're Crackin' up,
You're Crackin' up,

Everybody's rushin'
Round and round and round,
Here and there and everywhere,
Everybody's upside down

You're Crackin' up,
You're Crackin' up,
You're Crackin' up,

You go to a bar, You're feeling quite dry,
You really need something to get yourself high.
Money on the table, to get nicely pissed,
There's nothing quite like it to forget about this,

You're Crackin' up,
You're Crackin' up,
You're Crackin' up,

Im not about by DJ 3RD WORLD STAR

Setinel by Dislocated Flowers

Second To Last by @unitedduality/

The second to last track of my upcoming album.

LYRICS

Now and then time can be
Such a silent thief.
Can we outrun it if we please?
The odds are stacked against us.

And sometimes time can be
Such a sneaky, nasty thief.
It says “run” while you have speed.
Pay no heed to what it says.

Sometimes there’ll be days when the sun won’t shine.
No need to search for it, or read between the lines.
Some days you must simply look inside.
Then you will see a light and come back
Starry eyed because you’ve found that
You’re full of love.

Whenever I think on
All these moments past,
I wish that I could make them last.
Chance would be a fine thing.

There is no need to rush,
Take all the colours in.
The light that shines from within
Will lead you through the dark.

Then you will see a light and come back
Starry eyed because you’ve found that
You’re here to love.

Secret Garden by @indusrush

Secret Garden is the name of the resort I used to run on Koh Samui famous for the Live Music sessions every Sunday. The words of the song reflect the original idea I had when I started in 1990 - 1, but to make the song less obvious I moved the setting to SOCAL, Mexico and Baja. It waas some fanciful dream I had, which worked for a while but gradually became stale, not for the music, but for the inability for the locals in that place to follow basic laws of respect, culture, nature and consideration, all in the name of greed. A real shame for the inhabitants of Koh Samui. I played this song Live many times on stage at Secret Garden with The Big Buddha Blues Band, with Barrie Manso doing lead vocals. On this studio version, I play all instruments myself.

LYRICS

(I’ve Got a) Secret Garden

Down Baja way there's a place where we can go,
Down the Highway, just a few miles north of Mexico,
I’ll save a few dollars, give up my job
Put civilisation right out of reach,
Get the kids out of school, sell the car,
Buy a little shack on the beach.

Down on my beach there’s a world which co-exists
Without wives, without cities, without businesses,
I’ll live on your interest, live real cheap,
Learn how to live off the land,
Learn real values, meditate on the beach,
I might even start up a band!

Well it ain’t Big Sur, and it ain’t like the Rio Grande,
It’s just a life under palms mixed up with sea and sand,
For just a few dollars you can live on the beach,
Put your worries behind you and bring up your kids
To be aware an be one step ahead.

Down Baja way,
I’ve got a secret garden,
