Folky finger picked with strings and oboe
folk strings oboe
Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!

My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Lyrics
Havoc Em F# Em F# Em F#G D Em F# Em F# G D F# There's a truth to the notion, so get it in your head No matter how you feel some things are better left unsaid The trouble with emotion, it can run away with you You might be correct yet still untrue Be slow to point the finger though you think your aim is true Shadowfall will linger if the barb deflects to you Therein lies the danger of blindsided certainty Arrogance leads to calamity G DA Bm G DA G G DA Bm G DA G Life is complicated when your head is in the clouds The thoughts in your head are better not said out loud Always take time before you speak Just be aware of the havoc words can wreak Just beware of flaming There's a lesson to be learnt No matter where you're aiming Somebody's gonna get Burnt i know what you're claiming That you're on control But don't be so sure how the dice will roll Feelings fight with logic, so best to have a care Easy to misfire when things are all up in the air Better to be thoughtful, of your facts be sure Than to cry out havoc and let slip the dogs of war Havoc Em F# Em F# Em F#G D Em F# Em F# G D F# There's a truth to the notion, so get it in your head No matter how you feel some things are better left unsaid The trouble with emotion, it can run away with you You might be correct yet still untrue Be slow to point the finger though you think your aim is true Shadowfall will linger if the barb deflects to you Therein lies the danger of blindsided certainty Arrogance leads to calamity G DA Bm G DA G G DA Bm G DA G Life is complicated when your head is in the clouds The thoughts in your head are better not said out loud Always take time before you speak Just be aware of the havoc words can wreak Just beware of flaming There's a lesson to be learnt No matter where you're aiming Somebody's gonna get Burnt i know what you're claiming That you're on control But don't be so sure how the dice will roll Feelings fight with logic, so best to have a care Easy to misfire when things are all up in the air Better to be thoughtful, of your facts be sure Than to cry out havoc and let slip the dogs of war
