Marina, Marina

She doesn't live in a fine house
She spends her time in the sea
She goes by the name of Aqua Marina
And She's the girl for me
Marina is a lady of very few words
Just a nod and a shake of the head
But if I could find her
And pull a few strings
We'd be down on the sea bed
I got Fish Men trying to torpedo me
And I'm swimming against the tide
But if I could find her
And pull a few strings
Marina would be by my side
Marina. Marina
Aqua Marina
My ship sails the waters above
To keep love alive
Always ready to dive
To the depths of the sea of our love

All Fall Down
04:56
|
|||
|
Some nights when the corn is ripe
And the sunset’s the deepest red
And the summer midges start to bite
And the beer’s gone to our heads
All fall down, All fall down, All fall down, All fall down yeah, All fall down
We’re drinking in the country pubs
And the quiet country lanes
And the pretty girls on their bicycles
Chance to call our names
All fall down, All fall down, All fall down, All fall down yeah, All fall down
Lost my job on Monday
On Tuesday I stayed in bed
I didn’t get up on Wednesday
On Thursday I nursed my head
All fall down, All fall down
But on Friday night
Something changed
I got up and I made my way
I washed my face
Changed my shirt
I’m getting ready for Saturday
All fall down, All fall down, All fall down, All fall down yeah, All fall down
So here we are in A & E
Losing the facility
Bless my soul now glory be
Could Jesus save a fool like me?
All fall down, All fall down, All fall down, All fall down yeah, All fall down
Roll me over
Give me a sign
I’ve had a few in my time
How many fingers can you see?
I’m not sure now
Is it three?
ALL FALL DOWN

Hopeless
05:03
|
|||
|
It’s hopeless I know
But I don’t want to let it go
It’s hopeless
Any fool can see
Any fool except for me
And if I should Find a way
To live and love another day
And if I should Unlock the key
Heaven knows How hopeless that would be
Well it’s hopeless
I’ll never let it go
& I’m always the last to know
That It’s hopeless
What more can I say
I’ll learn to love another day
What if I should Find a way
To live and love another day
What if I could Unlock the key
Heaven knows
How hopeless that would be
Is it Hopeless?

St Philomena

St Philomena take me in
I’ve been around this world
And I’ve been back again
All the things I’ve done
And everything I’ve seen
The seven wonders
And the other things between
St Philomena take me in
St Philomena give me hope
Without your guiding hand
How would I ever cope
I gave my heart away
Now everything is lost
I’d do it all again
But I couldn’t stand the cost
St Philomena give me hope
And I will always be true to you
My cause is hopeless and it’s lost
I will always pay my dues to you
St Philomena / A love forever lost
St Philomena Stand by me
I wear you round my neck
Protect the fool in me
There beneath my shirt
Warm against my breast
You warn away the jinxes
And to pacify the rest
St Philomena stand by me
St Philomena I’m your man
I pray and worship you
Most every day I can
When my time is through
When the day is done
I always turn to you
You are the only one
St Philomena I’m your man

When I'm Feeling Blue
04:42
|
|||
|
Can’t seem to find the right tunes on the radio
When things ain’t right with you
Can’t put my heart into my favourite TV show
Because you should be here too
And that clock keeps ticking
When I’m feeling blue
Nothing seems to fit
Nothing seems to hold on to my attention
When you’re not here everything just feels wrong
And every other little thing
That I could hardly dare to mention
Weighs on my mind like the lines of my song
Like that clock that keeps ticking
When I’m feeling blue
And I’m watching that clock
And the hands going round
It’s draining my life
And I’m hating the sound
Of every lost moment
Without you
I’m losing my time with you
There’s a book on my bed
Must have read the same chapter five times over
Just can’t seem to move things along
Like the long summer days
From July to the end of September
That just keep dragging on
Just like that clock that keeps ticking
When I’m feeling blue

Transylvanian
05:11
|
|||
|
I met a girl on the Gothic Express
Poetry in motion, In a tight black dress
Thought I was a man, Thought I was cool
She played me like a fish, I was a fool
Her eyes were black
And her teeth were white
The train sped ahead Into the night
She was Transylvanian
We started to talk
I lost all sense of time
I was drinking whiskey
She was drinking Red Red Wine
And just by some chance
Our hands just happened to touch
I never knew then
That it would cost me so much
We were drinking in the Pullman
When the lights began to fail
Her skin in the moonlight was white and pale
She was Transylvanian
She said STOP THE TRAIN
I wanna get off NOW
The children of the night were howling
And how
She pulled hard on the cord
The train screamed and shuddered to a stop
It was all a bad dream
With her cherry on the top
I thought I was a man
Thought I was cool
But that’s when I knew that I was a fool
Cos she was Transylvanian
A cold winter’s chill
It ripped through my head
And ever since that night
She’s been making my bed
She took me to the altar
She ripped out my heart
But that was the beginning
That was just the start
So now that I’ve told my story to you
Let me buy you a drink
Cos I’m Transylvanian too
She said STOP THE TRAIN
I wanna get off NOW

Friends with The Wolfman
04:38
|

I made friends with the Wolfman
When he dropped his glove
He said: I think that I’m in Love
I made friends with the Wolfman
When he came to town
Now That’s what’s going down
And he said
Everybody needs somebody
No matter what you do
He’s just like me and you
So I said
I made friends with The Catwoman
And I thank my stars above
Because I think that I’m in Love
Yeah - I made friends with the Catwoman
And I can’t believe it’s true
Because she feels the same way too
And we all know that
Everybody needs somebody
No matter what they do
She’s just like me and you
Well he said –
That moon’s sure shining bright tonight
And I looked into his eyes
And he said That moon’s sure shining bright tonight
And a tear formed in his eyes
Imagine my surprise
So I touch base with the Wolfman
Every once in a blue moon
I just listen for his tune
Yeah I touch base with the Wolf man
When that full-moon’s shining down
I can tell when he’s around
And we all know that
Everybody needs somebody
No matter what they do
He just like me and you

Begin Again
03:51

Hey there Please don’t cry
One day you’ll find Another girl
‘Til then you’ll wonder why
She lives in another world
Please don’t cry
Hey there Don’t you know
One day she had to go
And can’t you see
One day it had to be
She had to go
Dry Your eyes
Cost that’s the start
To the path
To a mended heart
You’ll begin again
Hey there
Let her go
We know you loved her so
But it’s time to set her free
And right now it’s hard to see
You’ll begin again

Kill Me Now
04:27
|

|
Kill me now I can’t take it anymore
Kill me now I just can’t take it any more
Got my back to the wall My head in my hands
Just go ahead and do it I don’t give a damn
Well that’s what I’m singing this for
Just kill me now
Kill me now Don’t want to say it again
Kill me now If we’re gonna be friends
Cos we’ve come to the end
My ship’s sailed away
This is the hour This is the day
To pack up my things and get out
Kill me now
But if you throw me a line
I don’t know what I would do
Maybe it’s best to resign myself
To telling the world that it’s through
Just kill me now
Kill me now Put the dagger in my heart
Kill me now Just put the dagger in my heart
Because if it don’t beat There’ll be no pain to feel
No tears to cry No comfort to steal
Looks like the only way out
Kill me now
But if you throw me a line
I don’t know what I might say
Makes no difference to me now Anyway

Geek

When your face doesn’t fit
You’re not part of the crowd
And the shirt that you wear
Is a little too loud
They don’t like your face
They don’t like your style
And you Just don’t fit in
And you stand out a mile
And the music you like
Is not to their taste
So they don’t make an effort
Cos they think you’re a waste
But you’ve done nothing to hurt them
Or to earn their distaste
But the roles are now cast
You’re set in your place
You’re a Geek
They can wipe their feet on you
And there’s nothing you can do
And they don’t have to pretend
Cos you’ll never be friends
No-one even notices
When you walk in the room
Cos you’re just a Geek
No-one listens when you speak
No-one’s interested in what you do
No-one even wants to talk to you
And everything you eat
Everything you say
No matter what you do
Whatever time of day
So no-one even notices
When you walk in the room
You’re just a Geek
And if your eyes should meet
When you're walking down a street
Turn away and look down at your feet
You're just a geek

Eight Days
02:41
|
|||
|
You sit there and I’ll sit here
We’ll share our stories
But we won’t share a beer
Because this ain’t no faith-induced
Story of redemption
And I’ve been sober seven days now
So maybe now’s the time to mention
That I got a wife
And she’s a star
But I’m a black-hole
So we’re not getting far
‘Cos every thing I touch gets broken
Sodden Failed and Frightened
And I can’t recall the reason
That I’m sleeping with the light on
But every day
It’s another step
I’ll get to Eight Days
But I ain’t got there yet

King of Kathmandu
04:10

When King of Kathmandu
Met The Queen of New York City
Well there and then he knew
That she was mighty pretty
Like the Himalayan snow
Or the view from the Hudson River
And now everywhere she goes
A part of him goes with her
King of Kathmandu
All the birds in the sky
And all the fishes in the sea
And the creatures that walk on the land
Should worship her on bended knee
For now he knows
That she is mighty pretty
And that everywhere she goes
She is The Queen of New York City
King of Kathmandu
Bridge:
High up in the mountains
The snow is closing in
They’re searching for the footprints
They’re searching for the king
Of Kathmandu
King of Kathmandu
All around the world
They’re waiting for the news
Where will they be seen
Are they on the loose
Temples carved in rock
Hotels carved in Ice
Everywhere they go
She will be the prize
For Kathmandu
King of Kathmandu

Two Souls
04:11
|

|
We take a stroll on the Whitby Pier
She holds me close
And I hold her near
There’s a break in the clouds
And it’s all coming clear
The world is our oyster tonight
We had our moments happy and sad
Times that were good and times that were bad
But I just feel grateful for what we’ve both had
And the world is our oyster tonight
When we were younger
Our hearts were like thunder
That echoed between us
If you could have seen us
We’re just a little bit older
She puts her head on my shoulder
I’m Just happy to hold her
And the world is our oyster tonight
So we stroll along
We’re just two souls together
Some people bicker and fight - and whatever
And relationships fail but I know we’ll never
And that everything between us is right
When we got together they said it couldn’t last
But then slowly they learned and then the time went so fast
And then all of a sudden that’s all in the past
And the world is our oyster tonight

Jeff and Ken

Geoff and Ken
Two fine men
They sit at the bar
And they remember when
Cars had chrome bumpers
Milk on the step
Those days are gone now
But they still remember them yet
Geoff and Ken
Two fine men
They start telling a story
But they don’t get to the end
Tales they’ve recounted now
So many times
Tell it again
It’s not a crime
Geoff and Ken
Two fine men
They sit at the bar
Until a quarter past ten
Seasons move slowly
And all things must change
It’s the end of an era now
Ain’t it a shame

The George and Mary Webb

The George and Mary Webb
Patiently Waits on the flow and the Ebb
24/7 and 365
A Guardian Angel to protect and survive
For victims of current and tide
Of inclement conditions
And summer seaside
Overcome by the rage
Or seduced by the calm
Such a man would give much
To be swept up in the arms
Of the George and Mary Webb
The George and Mary Webb
For her Coxswain and crew
Spare a moment we beg
To make your contribution
To keep her afloat
She’s the pride of North Yorkshire
She’s the Whitby Lifeboat
For the song of the sea can be cruel
It’s been taken for granted
By many a fool
But when life is in peril
And grave Jeopardy
There is no finer sight
On a cruel and wild sea
Than the George and Mary Webb

Tuppenny Blue Whitby, UK
The band have a unique and extensive repertoire of original songs & music with a style that is melodic but defies easy
classification - neither slotting into a niche which could be defined as Blues, Folk, or pop, but more often some elements combining the above.
During 2020 we've been busy putting together a new album: ODD NUMBERS due for release early in 2021. Visit also: www.tuppennyblue.co.uk
