My band is "me" with more than a little help from my lyricist, Tony Shears, on the songwriting front. Our songs might not be typical of today's market but neither are they antiquated, hence the Adult Contemporary title. This particular album "Remnants Of A Cavernous Boot" is a reference to our seventies band "Cavernous Boot" which consisted of Tony and myself along with the world's best guitarist Dave Draper and our seriously deranged drummer Steve Allen who tried vainly to keep us in line with his beat. We mainly played the North London pubs and clubs at the time and had as much work as we wanted, so we couldn't have been that bad. Most tracks on this album are new songs that we wrote last year, some are melody written for lyric, some are lyric put to a melody and a couple are re-writes of our original songs being performed 40 years ago. It's a very mixed bag which I hope you'll find as enjoyable to listen to as it was to record.

Story behind the song
I would like to say that there is nothing autobiographical about this lyric but the speed and ease with which the words flowed would seem to point a finger of suspicion firmly in my direction. I admit I do like a drop or two of scotch but as for the rest of it?
Lyrics
I’ve been drinking and you’ve been crying I’ve not been thinking while you’ve been trying I don’t do sharing, I don’t do caring I don’t deserve you at all I’ve been flirting while you’ve been working I know you’re hurting and I’m still shirking You’re always giving, to ease my living I don’t deserve you at all No I don’t deserve you at all There are times that I still feel, though not very clearly How my misbehaving is wrong And you tell me that it's real, that you love me dearly And we’ve been together so long I’m not saying that I am learning But you keep praying that I’ll be earning I’ll still be losing, you’ll still be choosing I don’t deserve you at all No I don’t deserve you at all You remember the days before I, found that whisky and more and more I Changed from being the boy you first knew, I don't know how you stay true Can't stop raging and won't start pleading I see I'm aging and your heart bleeding If God could see you, he'd surely free you I don't deserve you at all There are times that I still feel, though not very clearly How my misbehaving is wrong And you tell me that it's real, that you love me dearly And we’ve been together so long
