lyrics
I’ll be your valentine boyfriend
I’ll give you hearts made of paper
glitter and glue
I’ll write you into my story
and if the ending’s not happy
I’ll rewrite it for you
I may not bring home the millions
but I'll still give you my coat dear
when it’s starting to rain
And no I may not be so handsome
but I've got charm as my fortune
and wisdom my wage.
She is my funny face girlfriend
in her Easter pink stockings
and her hair like a bird's nest
Beneath her Christmas light hallow
slowly, she puts her head on my shoulder
and I’m lost to the night
Just like a maid ‘neath the Maypole
she dances around in my castle
waiting for a slow kiss.
As I decipher her mantra
I get lost in her eyes
my little harlequin dancer
with your mystery smile
I am the heart round her arrow
and she’s the face in my window
staring like a black cat
We are like phantoms of fables
both of us, getting lost as the days flow
faster into jet black
Into spider webs of abstract
just moving along the road map of life
past Jack-o-lantern smoke stacks
the gypsies on the freeway
the jokers in the rat race
keeping to the slow pace
as the sun is sinking slowly
beneath the fields and the factories
we're taking all the back streets
sleeping in the back seat
I listen to her heart beat
I listen to her heart beat
A true hidden treasure of a song writer. This gent has been capturing songs in demo form on old tape recorders since the 80s. . . and he's still capturing his magic sounds in his secret basement. Damien Youth

Excellent medieval folk, IGR, & those with ears to hear. I love the sense of mysticism and deep, introspective ponder this album conveys, & the honest down-to-earth folky lyrics. Simply wonderful yet soulfully rich. Highlights for me are tracks 2, 5, 6, & 12. IGR truly capture what I feel is an authentic sense of a medieval bard at a woodland rill pondering the mysteries of life. Highly recommended. 8.5+/10. Alrihkh

Done in medieval, wyrdfolk and psychedelic style, there is a deep bell to open and close the recording. An allegorical tale using alchemy as a backdrop, it is very pastoral and haunting. Some instruments included are viola, nyckelharpa, and dulcimer, along with acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and percussion. The phantasmagoric story that ensues once the vocals begin is best listened to from start to finish for full effect. Favourite Track: The Serpent Nickie Harte Kelly
