Have we all been sold down the river?

 

HAVE WE ALL BEEN SOLD DOWN THE RIVER    

(A Covid concern during 2020)

Music Trevor Hill Lyrics Keith Eade

Have we all been conned, why is it still going on

Have we all been sold down the river

Can’t always live like this; there’s people waiting to be kissed

Don’t want to be a taker I’m a giver

CHORUS

Can we meet lovely lady just to walk and talk

Breath the air outside for a while

Walk on through this quiet deserted ghost town

You know I need to be around your smile

Give us hope, we need cheer, we need a road map out of here

I know they say they’ve done their best

Give us hope, make it clear, we need leaders we can cheer

I know they’ll blame all the rest

What we’ve been told, may not be right, not water tight

Have we all been sold down the river

The laws of science won’t bend, will this nightmare never end

 Don’t want to be a taker I’m a giver

Staying locked down to the end, it’s a wound we’ve got to mend

Have we all been sold down the river

There’s a sick depression here, I need a friend to share a beer

I just shed a tear and try not to wither

We need a way out of this

 

(this is the album version which has a longer guitar intro)

 

We need a way out of this.   ( Music and Lyrics Trevor Hill)

I can’t hear what you say    I can’t see what to do

Now  my friend  what are we gonna do

We need a way out of this

What are we gonna do  

what are we gonna say     

What are we gonna do      about it

I can’t think anymore – I need hope now to last

  

Now my friend what are we gonna do 

We need a way out of this

What are we gonna do  

  

what are we gonna say    

What are we gonna do    about it

If we try we can win – we can see what to do

Now my friend what are we gonna do

We need a way out of this

What are we gonna do 

what are we gonna say    

What are we gonna do    about it

Questions

 

Questions.     Music Trevor Hill Lyrics Keith Eade

He could still remember the caress of her hand

An over whelming warmth he didn’t understand

He could still fell her now, and get lost in her scent

He thought of her kisses and what they had meant

Her breath on his cheek, her breath in his ear

Her easy warm voice he couldn’t wait to hear

Her finger tip touch in his hair, and on his skin

Her welcoming smile when inviting him in

All reason had gone when she gave that first kiss

He couldn’t quite believe he could feel so like this

Feelings so strong that no one could say

To Just forget her now and get on with your day?

He could still remember the warmth and the bliss

That fire inside she had lit with that kiss

Was the need in her like the need in him

Would she open the door and still welcome him in??

Verse

Did you think you would be missed?

You’re not even on my guest list

You think I’m waiting to be kissed

Well wait a little longer baby  I insist

That you wait till I’m stronger

You’re never gonna be my girl honey

VERSE

You had you’re chance to be with me

And blew it all for fame and wealth

And now you think for the good of my health

You think I could be with your good looking self

Well think a little longer honey

You’re never gonna be my girl honey

VERSE

I ain’t filling those shoes now honey

I don’t need all your blues or your money

Just need to be content with who I am

So I’m not falling for your little scam

You’re never gonna be my girl honey

No never ever gonna be my girl

VERSE

Did you think you would be missed?

Did you think you were top of the list?

Did you think I longed to be kissed?

Well wait a little longer baby ‘cos I insist

Wait a little longer -honey

You’re never gonna be my girl honey

I know

This is a fresh version of this old song of  mine with an amazing duet with Jackie Albright from the Rose and Crown Mayfield in  East Sussex that shows how the song should be sung with far more feeling than I could give. Song compositions are only brought to life by performers!

Take me home Charley

This is an amazing version by Jackie  Albright from the Rose and Crown Mayfield in East Sussex of another old song written by Keith and I and is a great take on the feel of a song.

 

Take me home Charley    Music Trevor Hill Lyrics Keith Eade

Take me home Charley, Please Take me home

I’ve partied far too long and need to go on home

Can’t see why i’d stay in this world of glass and chrome

Get me home Charley don’t like the phoney tone

So take me home now Charley I can’t go home alone

My cars out round the back go grab my coat off the rack

They sure won’t miss us at all we can slip out the through the hall

Get me home now Charley I  know we’ve had a ball

But make yourself small Charley walk real slow

Don’t say a word Charley not a word before we go

The circuit board soldier is fixing me a drink

I’d like to tell him no co’s its later than he thinks

Take me home Charley surely you can see

Just wanna  get my head in the place it needs to be

So take me home now Charley it’d mean a lot to me

Our party’s over Charley sure you can see that

Don’t wanna look like i’ve been  dragged in by next doors cat

Tomorrows a big day Charley  I need to get some sleep

Gotta meet the boss so I can’t be looking cheap

Take me home now Charley before it gets too deep

Broken    see Album Playlist 1

 

Broken  Music Trevor Hill Lyrics Keith Eade

So I’m broken but still breathing not quite blowing out a tune in my party hat

You know it’s tied up with your leaving forget mundane things like just feeding the cat

Not good at this broken heart healing –  not so good so you should think about that

Even though I’m broke up and bleeding I’m broken but I’m still breathing

Broken but not lost 

Broken yes it’s true 

I’m Broken but I’m still breathing

So I’m broken right in two but still breathing all that time wasted believing

When did you start your deceiving  can’t do this, can’t cope with all this grieving

It’s always all about you and your leaving broken it’s true but I’m still breathing

Even though I’m broken up and bleeding I’m broken but I’m still breathing

Broken but not lost 

Broken yes it’s true 

I’m Broken but I’m still breathing

So I’m broken but still breathing I eat rubbish food, and too much heavy fuel

But I can’t blame you for leaving there’s nothing to stay for, life can  be so cruel

Pretending but it’s all make believing they don’t teach you this stuff back in school

Even though I’m broken up and bleeding I’m broken but I’m still breathing

Broken but not lost 

Broken yes it’s true 

I’m Broken but I’m still breathing

Copacabana Girl

 

Copacabana Girl     Music and lyrics Trevor Hill

 She walked from the beach drying her hair brushing the sand from her thigh

She wasn’t looking around  – not aware who was there  – just flicking the sand in the sky

Copacabana girl where will you sleep tonight

Copacabana girl will you be alone tonight

With your smooth swaying hips and your dark black hair

Your big brown eyes and a distant stare

You could dance all night to the sound of the sea

Please take us with you to where you’ll be

She slipped on her dress  – right over her head  – then brushed the sand from her hair.   

She stood by the beach – She didn’t see who was there  – it was hard not to stand and stare   

Copacabana girl where will you sleep tonight

Copacabana girl will you be alone tonight

With your smooth swaying hips and your dark black hair

Your big brown eyes and a distant stare

You could dance all night to the sound of the sea

Please take us with you to where you’ll be

She smoothed  her dress over her body and tossed her hair in the sun.

She picked up her shoes – then walked off the beach – on the black and white wave patterned prom

Copacabana girl where will you sleep tonight

Copacabana girl will you be alone tonight

With your smooth swaying hips and your dark black hair

Your big brown eyes and a distant stare

You could dance all night to the sound of the sea

Please take us with you to where you’ll be

You may you live like the rich – near the shops in Leblon, or the poor districts of Favela 

While Rio has some sights – the world loves to see – to me you are a natural star.

Copacabana girl where will you sleep tonight

Copacabana girl will you be alone tonight

With your smooth swaying hips and your dark black hair

Your big brown eyes and a distant stare

You could dance all night to the sound of the sea

Please take us with you to where you’ll be

Fantasy

Fantasy.  (Lyrics Keith Eade Music Trevor Hill)

Focus on what the world can’t see

The next ride you have   ……  with me is free

Take me on a bucket list trip

Where I can give this world the final slip

Take me to a far off place

Where only I can see your face

Give me the space to watch you move

And fill my world with a life so smooth

Picture it in your lovely mind

A magical journey from way behind 

Behind what I hear you say

Behind the reason of a working day

Make clouds and reason go away

We can do it, we’ll find a way

Give me the space to see you move

And fill my world with just your love

Take me on a bucket list trip

Somewhere you know on our very own ship

That voyage you take with me is free

Let’s go now where the world can’t see

Where no one knows us you or me

Somewhere with an emerald sea

Have focus on my fantasy

The next ride you have with me is free

This is heaven in a crazy world

Music and lyrics Trevor Hill

Warm sun on silver sand

Waves rippling on an out stretched hand

Cool breezes on a suntanned skin

Lemon on ice and a long blue gin

This is Heaven in a crazy world

Moving slow to the rhythm in time

Hold your perfect body close to mine

Let the music play around

Feel the mood with a gentle sound

This is Heaven in a crazy world

Relax – chill and unwind

Let the spirit ease your mind

Slide your body with a gentle sway

Keep the mood alive and say

This is Heaven in a crazy world

No more bouncing down

 

 

Bouncing Down   Lyrics Keith Eade.  Music Trevor Hill

I don’t need no bouncing down

I ain’t some kinda circus clown 8</p>

And you wont get me outta town 8</p>

Just ‘cos you don’t want me around 8</p>

So no more bouncing down <span class=”Apple-converted-space”>&nbsp; </span>- no more bouncing down</p>

Ok so I know a lot of stuff 9</p>

But I think we’ve just had enough8</p>

All these secrets and deceits 7</p>

All these cloak and dagger tryst meets8</p>

So no more bouncing down  no more bouncing down

You can’t just show me the door 

Just because u don’t need me no more 

Making out it didn’t happen, 

pretending we just were not there 

So no more bouncing down  no more bouncing down

You can’t just rub it out and say life’s not fair 

I don’t need no bouncing down 

I ain’t some kinda circus clown 

And you just can’t make me go and leave town

You didn’t find me in the lost and found 

So no more bouncing down  no more bouncing down

I don’t need no blowing out

I just don’t get what you’re about 

But you’ve sure left me in no doubt

I won’t make a fuss, and twist and shout 

So no more bouncing down no more bouncing down

All this devious, hidden secret stuff 

I just think we’ve had enough 

I guess I’ll just stay out your way 

And I’ll decide if I wanna stay 

So no more bouncing down  no more bouncing down

So no more bouncing down  no more bouncing down>

Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa              Lyrics and Music by Trevor Hill

Everyone wants to know you no one knows your name

Everyone wants to see you everyone wants your fame

No one can touch you your face is in a frame

No one can hear you – you always smile the same

Is your smile just beginning is your smile at an end

Do you smile at what your seeing are you smiling at a friend

No one can touch you your face is in a frame

No one can hear you – you always smile the same

Are you really Lisa or are you in denial
Are you Isabella or is that Caterina’s smile
Are you Constanza or Gallerani by a mile
Are you someone else behind that enigmatic smile

Everyone comes to see you everyone stands and stares

Everyone smiles to see you with your fragile auburn hair

No one can touch you your face is in a frame

No one can hear you – you always smile the same

Everyone thinks your hiding secrets in your smile

Everyone wants to know you as they pass in single file

No one can touch you your face is in a frame

No one can hear you – you always smile the same

Are you really Lisa or are you in denial
Are you Isabella or is that Caterina’s smile
Are you Constanza or Gallerani by a mile
Are you someone else behind that enigmatic smile

A quiet belief in angels

 

 

A quiet belief in angels. (Lyrics Keith Eade Music Trevor Hill

I know what really matters shows

I have a certain look, so I iron my own clothes

The heartache and the longing, the lines that tell my age

The thing about belonging, being on the same page

I know that acid to alkali, treading bitter sweet

The ecstasy and the agony of parting when we meet

You kiss me so deep and then I have to go

Makes me so weak and I can’t tell you no

I’ve a quiet belief in angels – who’ll bring you back to me.

At work my only thought is you

Writing mental love notes, like things for me to do

And somewhere in my head, there’s a picture thats not new

I find it hard to sort – what’s make believe or true

But dig a little deeper and there could be a surprise

Try to see what lays – an inch behind my eyes

You kiss me so deep and then I have to go

Makes me so weak and I can’t tell you no

I’ve a quiet belief in angels – who’ll bring you back to me.

Just a quiet belief in angels

At least I have my phone

 

AT LEAST I HAVE MY PHONE. (Lyrics by Trevor Hill and Keith eade ( based on an idea by Keith )music by trevor Hill)

Welcome to my universe just living on my own
By some perverse reality I’m not just here alone
I have a little helper my window on the world
At least I have my phone
So welcome to my universe just living on my own

My window on the world my contact with the planet
A source for information access when I need it
I may to have friends at least I have my phone
My window on the world my contact with the planet

Size isn’t everything but I need a lot of space
Copies of pictures taken in haste
Emails and texts searches and favourites
Contacts and weather apps
Size isn’t everything but I need a lot of space

Remember your a friend of mine

 

REMEMBER YOU’RE A FRIEND OF MINE (Lyrics by Keith Eade Music by Trevor Hill)

Everybody wants to see you
Everyone knows your name
Everybody wants to see you
N’ share in your fame
Everybody wants a piece of you
Everyone takes your time
Everybody likes bein’ seen with you
But remember…you’re a friend of mine

Everybody wants to see you
Everyone thinks you’re good
Everybody sees a star in you
That’s all understood
Draw a line in the sand for you
Everyone needs some time
Don’t be scared my love needs you
Remember…you’re a friend of mine

Everybody wants to know you
Everyone that’s anyone
Everybody wants to show you
Their few minutes in the sun
Everybody likes to be near you
Everyone takes your time
Everybody wants to be close too
But remember…you’re a friend of mine

Everybody wants to be you
Everyone wants to change
Everybody wants to be you
You’re an icon in their range
Everybody wants to be you
That’s all understood
Everybody wants some time with you
Me too…if I could

Something’s changing- Something’s wrong

 

Something’s changing – Something’s wrong.     (Lyrics and music Trevor Hill)

Can you hear the marching trends  

We don’t get out now

We search on line to spend our loans

Theres no high street shops now

It seems something’s changing – something’s wrong

Can you hear the marching trends

Cars are going electric 

stuck in queues going no where fast 

pot holes sized in m metric

It seems something’s changing  – something’s wrong

Can you hear the marching trends

Oceans made of plastic

Keeping all the beaches clean

Of bottles buds and mastic

 It seems something’s changing  – something’s wrong

Can you hear the marching trends

Kids want to vote now

Anti this and anti that

Don’t want to pay tax now

 It seems something’s changing  – something’s wrong

Can you hear the marching trends

More kids needing help now

Live’s too fast to tale it in 

Exam room pressures worse now

 It seems something’s changing  – something’s wrong

You can see how you miss her and that’s the reason why

Chorus 

So the rain is pouring and the wind is in your face

And you look in the mirror and there’s no saving grace

So you look up to heaven but you find no help there

So you pick up the bottle and drown in your despair

chorus

So you’ve now got the message she just does not care

You know she wont come back to fill the empty chair

So you look for something to ease the growing pain 

 And you turn back to the bottle to stop the hurt again

Jolly Christmas

It’s all gone

 

It’s all gone        (Music and lyrics by Trevor Hill)

I used to be sure, of everything
I was warm and loved kissed everyday life was easy life was good

I didn’t care about anything
I was loved and lived everyday life was easy life was good

But now i can’t feel anything i can’t feel love or happiness it’s all gone

We used to walk on our favourite sands
It was warm and loved we kissed everyday
Love was easy love was good

I used to be sure, of everything
We woke together everyday life was easy life was good

But now i can’t hide anything i can’t feel love or happiness it’s all gone

Never Forget

NEVER FORGET ( Music Trevor Hill Lyrics Keith Eade)

It don’t come easy  Singing songs like this

It would be real easy Singing songs of bliss

But people only do the blues Keeps mellow minds from blowing

Don’t do songs about good new It’s the blues that gets them going

It don’t come easy  I’ll not forget your kiss

It should be real easy I really don’t want to miss

It don’t sit so easy now Kissing you a long good bye

Can’t think of you forever and how God knows i’ll not even try

It don’t come easy Singing songs that kiss

It don’t come easy Guess you know all this

People only want the blues The bad luck side that’s showing

They don’t want to find good news It’s the blues that keeps them going

It don’t come easy Singing songs of woe

it’s sure not easy making feelings show

It’s rainin’ hard on my shoes Choose your next move and see

More time now than I can use Never, please forget me

Portraits

 

Portraits                  Music Trevor Hill Lyrics Keith Eade

Portraits in lightening seeing something frightening

Portraits in lightening catch the fear heightening

Notice knuckles whitening portraits in lightening

Miracle cures delighting put it all in writing, no way

Portraits in lightening

Electrical revival sparks of survival

Portraits in lightening you go first then I will

Pain makes me feel ill Relying on the palliative pill

Portraits in evil what’s that fear your fighting

Portraits in lightening

Come on in hold the door for you fighting tooth and claw fo you

Mapping clear the path for you Hey you know I adore you

Ages since I saw you do anything for you Portraits in lightening

Miracle cures are frightening portraits in lightening
