1.	R U Ready 13:31 video	lyrics	buy track
Let me tell you How it was You can tell me How it is All night we're out In the morning are we dead Are we living for coffee and toast Days are for sleeping And we are the night Roll home days So cold in the morning We're catching the first train Yes, we're catching the first train Frosty old tube Didn’t ask for understanding Didn’t ask for nothing Just to lead our young lives Running free Running the same lines I’m still running Loving was easy And we got no money Dreaming of Blondie And playing The Beat And when the party’s over Crashed out on the floor Is there anything Is there anything Anything to eat Do I see you In the mirror of myself Is the feeling Is the feeling just the same Reflections of shadows Fading in my mind Fading in my mind Running the same lines Running the same lines I’m still…….. Running
2.	The Drummer Has No Sticks 11:10 video	lyrics	buy track
The drummer is a chip Yes, the drummer is a chip He feels no heat Is he a soulless beat? A kit without a seat Can get no rock on Can get no turned on Can get no real skin Can no feeling Can get no Can get no .. Can get no jamming Let’s hear it for the chip man Let’s hear it for the chip man Let’s hear it .. The rhythm is a programmer Plays it with a sledgehammer Whacking without a stammer Hit it Frequency generator Hit it Hit it .. Can get no rock out Can get no turned on Can get no rock on Can get no real skin Can get no feeling Can get no rock out Can get no Can get no .. Can get no jamming jamming Can get no rock out ..
3.	The Thames 14:13 video	lyrics	buy track
With you standing by the pier Near you see the rivers Watch the bits floating by you In the murky waters And the chattering and the spluttering Found in the noise and the smog That’s where they brew our favourite beer And that’s where I first set eyes on you Well that’s where Down by the Thames Old Man Thames Down by the Thames Old man With you brushing out your hair See the sun light dancing there And watch your life floating by you In the Murky waters flowed The chattering and the spluttering Found in a London pub That’s where Down by the Thames Old Man Thames Down by the Thames Old man With your face turned to the sun Blowing, blowing with the thoughts of sin Well, I took a boat beside you And the murky waters flowed And the chattering and the spluttering Found on a wave of love…… Now it’s been many years Though all the fighting and the tears And I am still beside you Like the murky water flowed Old Man Thames And the chattering and the spluttering For ever like our love Down by the Thames Old Man Thames Down by the Thames Old Man Thames That’s Where they brew our favourite beer That’s Where I first set eyes on you That’s where I first set eyes on you Brew our favourite beer I first set eyes on you I first set eyes on you ..

All living In the same space Sounds good To me Maybe not Sound so good To you All Living In the same pot Looks good To me Maybe not To you All living in The same pot All living in The same pot Smells good To me All living in The same pot All living in The same pot

about

KCJ RAR York, UK

Independent artist, song creator and musician
KCJ RAR Project Retoons, recreating songs I wrote as a wannabe back in the 1970's and 80's. Now home recording guitars and virtual instruments to create classic rock numbers that never were; symphonic prog epics that could have been; and avant-garde psychedelic art rock grooves that surely fill a gap in music history today? Maybe not, but lots of fun! ... more
