From the original sleeve
Thanks to
Many thanks to my family and friends who have been subjected to unfinished musical ideas and mixes throughout the ridiculous length of time it has taken me to finish this project …and, of course, for putting up with me in general!
Special thanks to
Shaun Devey, Nick Lester, David Gwynne, Chris Baston, Sammie Joyce, Amanda Tougher and Louisa Bonnick for lending their ears and honest opinions, and for keeping me (in)sane. Thanks to Alex and Josh for nagging me to get this finished! Love Uncle G!
Dedications
The album is dedicated to my parents: John and Jossie Devey. All my love, always, Glyn.
Thank you, Mum, for your unquestioning love, support and strength, you amaze me!
Thank you, Dad, for your love, support and for starting me off on the guitar (and my interest in music) a LONG time ago! Listen out on tracks 5 and 10 for your guitar!
The song ‘Felix’ is a loving tribute to my late stepfather, Clement Felix Bouzin. A show of respect and appreciation to a truly wonderful gentle-man. Sunshine on legs. Miss you Pops.
She’s the One
About the song
A driving pop-rock anthem about attraction, hesitation and missed opportunities. Someone special seems within reach, but nerves and second thoughts keep getting in the way. Each encounter brings another chance to connect—and the possibility of letting “the one” slip away without ever discovering what might have been.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Saw her once, only once Both too shy to speak Hung around, standing ground Time a-wasting, you never heard her speak
Bridge
Here we go, here we go, here we go again Feeling lost, feeling scared, ‘fraid of rejection Come on now, it’s not so bad, look she’s reaching out, yeah
Chorus
What if she’s the one, you’ve been waiting on so long? Come on, Wake up, it’s time to get back on your feet. Maybe she’s the one, the only one, It’s her! she’ll finally make your life complete
Verse 2
See she’s there, only there It’s time that you should meet Pulled away, she could not stay Oh you missed again, you never saw her leave
Bridge
Here we go, here we go, here we go again Feeling lost, feeling scared, ‘fraid of rejection Come on now, it’s not so bad, look she’s reaching out, yeah
Chorus
What if she’s the one, you’ve been waiting on so long? Come on, Wake up, it’s time to get back on your feet. Maybe she’s the one, the only one, It’s her! she’ll finally make your life complete
Verse 3
One last chance, a little dance It’s time, small talk and “where’ve you been?” Oh your timing’s wrong, her friends are goin’ Missed the chance, you’ve never seen her since…no!
Bridge
Here we go, here we go, here we go again Feeling lost, feeling scared, ‘fraid of rejection Come on now, it’s not so bad, look she’s reaching out, yeah Here she comes, here she comes, getting close again She’s looking at you, opening, making connection Come on now, it’s not so bad, just take her hand
Chorus
What if she’s the one, you’ve been waiting on so long? Come on, Wake up, it’s time to get back on your feet. Maybe she’s the one, the only one, It’s her! she’ll finally make your life complete
When We Make Love
About the song
A heartfelt ballad blending pop, rock and country influences, celebrating the person who makes life feel complete. Everyday gestures of affection grow into images of stars, oceans and planets as a man tries to express the depth of his love, gratitude and wonder.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Doesn’t take much to see it’s all so clear to me Just with you here at my side, I’m so complete you see
Bridge 1
It’s your smile, it’s you glow, it’s things that you know, You’re a selfless heart Donatello can’t mould all the beauty you hold You’re a work of art
Chorus
When we make love the stars all come out Shining for you When we make love the mountains would bow Shadowed and shamed by you When we make love the oceans would rise The power of you When we make love I’d happily die Completed by you and all the things that you do. I’m so amazed by you.
Verse 2
I feel I owe you so much you made me whole again I was lost, I was down, but now I’m home again
Bridge 2
It’s the way, that you hold, like you’ll never let go, You won my heart I feel sorry for those, who could never own Such a work of art
Chorus
When we make love the stars all come out Shining for you When we make love the mountains would bow Shadowed and shamed by you When we make love the oceans would rise The power of you When we make love the angels take flight They watch over you When we make love Venus dries her eyes at the beauty of you When we make love the planets align Watch how they dance for you When we make love, we make love When we make love I’d happily die Completed by you, and all the things that you do I’m still amazed by you.
Sweetest Feeling
About the song
A disco and funky-house-inspired celebration of attraction on the dance floor. An insistent bass groove carries the excitement of catching someone’s eye and becoming absorbed in their presence. Playful and direct, the song captures a night when desire and the atmosphere of the club take over.
Lyrics

Feels Like Flying
About the song
An unexpected encounter brings together two people weary of superficial connections. What begins as attraction develops into something deeper, until the world around them seems to fall away. A pop-rock ballad with a hypnotic pulse and an expansive atmosphere, capturing the exhilaration of finding someone who feels like home.
Lyrics
Verse 1
So we talked, there you go, no superficial circus show Simple thing, two minds connected So surprised and yet so glad, who’d have thought? look what we had! There we were, two cynical people
Bridge
Let’s dance just like there’s no one here Let’s love like our hearts ain’t been broken Your face that’s all I need As my eyes open to see the morning
Chorus
It feels like flying It feels like flying With you, with you With you, only with you
Verse 2
Unselfish lover, do you know, that had me at “hello”? This feels like love, but for the first time This is it, just one more step, here we go, just catch your breath You feel like home, when I enfold you
Bridge
Let’s dance just like there’s no one here Let’s love like our hearts ain’t been broken Your smile that’s all I need As my eyes open to see the morning
Chorus
It feels like flying It feels like flying With you, with you With you, only with you
Piano break
Chorus — repeat and fade
It feels like flying It feels like flying With you, with you With you, only with you
Can't You Feel It?
About the song
A lover’s secrecy turns attraction into uncertainty, leaving their partner searching for reassurance and questioning what is being concealed. Suspicion becomes its own source of distress as they find themselves feeling jealous and paranoid—becoming someone they neither recognise nor want to be.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Am I what you want? Am I what you need? Oh baby can't you tell me? Can't you see that your indecision's driving me c-crazy? I can't go on waiting not knowing your decision Your constant playing around is keeping me Imprisoned! Do I hang around? do I give you more than just some satisfaction? Are you really into me or am I just a temporary distraction It's make your mind up time, 'cause what I have in mind, could give you all things you'll ever need my love.
Chorus
(Can't you feel it, can't you feel it, cant you feel it, can't you feel it baby) My lover (Can't you feel it, can't you feel electricity tonight?) I used to be the one, my love, my love my love, my love, love (Can't you taste the emotion; it's delicious baby) My lover... Na na na na na na na na, my love, my lover. (Can we touch, come on girl, let's rock it here tonight).
Verse 2
So what's the deal? I can't see babe, you're undercover It seems your secrecy, it hides another lover Am I just paranoid? oh what're contemplating? It's him or me I know, but oh it's so frustrating! It's your phone again you're reading something that you're concealing, What am I to think of it your innocence takes some believing! But I'm still into you and all the things you do But he makes you smile in way, (that) only I used to do, my love....
What Do You Take Me For?
About the song
A funky, disco-house-inspired song about recognising that someone is using your attraction to manipulate you—and still struggling to break their hold. Awareness and desire pull in opposite directions as the narrator questions a situation they can see clearly but cannot quite bring themselves to leave.
The Game
About the song
Two portraits explore how people’s choices shape the lives they find themselves living. One man cannot recognise his own part in the problems he faces; another expresses love through working and providing, while his wife longs for his presence. Entitlement in one story and misunderstood intentions in the other leave both struggling with a reality they have helped create.
Lyrics
Verse 1
He wants more from life than he's prepared to give, He thinks the world owes him; that he's privileged, He doesn't see it, that he's making all the problem in his way, Defensive pride conceals is ignorance, His apathy morphs into arrogance, His snide demeanour covers all the things he's just too scared to say.
Bridge 1
The lies eat into his brain, to hide all of what he's ashamed, It's a wonder he knows his own name.
Chorus
He's a lonely man, he feels his losing the game, Doubting his luck, losing his hope, he is to blame. He's a lonely man afraid of losing the game, (He) refuses to see, (that) he makes I shown world; he's to blame.
Verse 2
He tries so hard to please his family, He works day and night to heat, to clothe, to feed, He doesn't see it, but he hasn't seen his little baby grow, Frustrated wife she feels alone at night, She wants him there to love, to hold her right, She wants her husband, not the Money... She packs her things to go.
Bridge 2
He simply feels that there's no need to say. He supports her but in HIS own way, They're not listening, now ain't that a shame.
Chorus
He's a lonely man, he feels his losing the game, Doubting his luck, losing his hope, he is to blame. He's a lonely man afraid of losing the game, (He) refuses to see, (that) he makes I shown world; he's to blame.
As Yet
About the song
A rock and jazz-fusion instrumental built around the interplay of melody, rhythm and improvisation. Acoustic guitar, electric guitar and piano each take a turn in the foreground, giving the piece space to change character as the solos unfold.
All Around the World
About the song
A playful, hip-hop-inspired look at a young man thoroughly distracted by the beauty of women. Tongue firmly in cheek, the song follows the spell of attraction across borders, capturing the exaggerated confidence and single-minded desire of someone who cannot think much beyond the person in front of him.
Lyrics
Chorus
Beautiful Girls Those shapely bodies all around the world You're gonna make me Oooo Just say the word (lay down) I’ll shower you with pearls I know you like, I know you like it like that
Verse 1
You’re so delicious, infectious, you really blow my mind Can feel you’re rubbing off on me, I can’t wait to get inside
Bridge 2
You’re mind, Turn around, I got your back You’re mind, Turn around, I got your back You’re mind, Turn around, I got your back I got you’re back, I won’t hurt you You’re mind, Turn around, I got your back You’re mind, Turn around, I got your back You’re mind
Chorus
Beautiful Girls Those shapely bodies all around the world You're gonna make me Oooo Just say the word (lay down) I’ll shower you with pearls I know you like, I know you like it like that
Verse 2
Exotic beauty, Intoxicating depth in those eyes You’re presence teases all my senses, makes my body rise
Bridge 2
You’re mind, Turn around, I got your back You’re mind, Turn around, I got your back You’re mind, Turn around, I got your back I got you’re back, I won’t hurt you You’re mind, Turn around, I got your back You’re mind, Turn around, I got your back You’re mind
Chorus
Beautiful Girls Those shapely bodies all around the world You're gonna make me Oooo Just say the word (lay down) I’ll shower you with pearls I know you like, I know you like it like that
She’s Dreaming!
About the song
A biting portrait of the early-2000s “it girl” fantasy, where glamour, attention and imagined celebrity become measures of self-worth. The initial appeal wears thin as entitlement and the need to remain centre stage drive increasingly reckless choices. The song challenges the belief that being desired—or feeling famous—puts someone beyond the consequences of their actions.
Lyrics
Verse 1
She walks around with her head in the clouds Pretending, to be coy little girl Her tiny skirt and her ‘Fuck Me Boots’ The dark rooted airhead, she plays the part so well
Bridge
Now she’s drifting away, slowing drifting in to space Can’t come down from that high, she reached the sky Now she’s drifting away, slowing drifting in to space Sees earth down below, she doesn’t want to go home
Chorus
The Girl is dreaming, she’s dreaming of celebrity The Girl is dreaming, she’s famous in her fantasy The Girl is dreaming, she thinks she’s all she wants be The Girl is dreaming, she thinks she’s a celebrity
Verse 2
Out on the prowl, for the next man for the hour You’re dirty, what would your daddy say?! Give it away, not concerned to play it safe You silly little girl, what would you mamma say?
Bridge
Now she’s drifting away, slowing drifting in to space Can’t come down from that high, she reached the sky Now she’s drifting away, slowing drifting in to space See’s earth down below, she doesn’t want to go home
Chorus
The Girl is dreaming, she’s dreaming of celebrity The Girl is dreaming, she’s famous in her fantasy The Girl is dreaming, she thinks she’s all she wants be The Girl is dreaming, she thinks she’s a celebrity
Just Another Woman
About the song
A gentle acoustic-led ballad whose sweetness gradually reveals a much harder story. Addressing someone he once believed was the love of his life, the narrator confronts the emotional abuse endured while trying to make the relationship work. Walking away becomes an act of survival; with time, someone who once meant everything becomes someone he used to know.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Why did it take so long to realise The lies behind your eyes Your incessant need to criticise What's wrong with you? You see, I wish i could see inside your mind 'Cause I would never dream to treat you that unkind You only wanted to hurt me And I simply wanted to be with you
Chorus
And here we are once again I can't believe it came to this 'Cause you know you were my everything You were the perfect lover in my eyes But then you go once again Telling me what I think and how I feel but you got me so wrong, So you're just another woman to me now
Instrumental
Verse 2
Those insecurity games, you played convincing me and everyone else to think 'Oh what a shame' Like we should feel sorry for you!? Are you really so self assured you've got the answers straight To the perfect way of life? While, my dear, at 31 years old, still nobody wants your for their wife.
Chorus
And here we are once again I can't believe it came to this 'Cause you know you were my everything You were the perfect lover in my eyes But then you go once again Telling me what I think and how I feel but you got me so wrong, So you're just another woman to me now
Instrumental
Chorus
And here we are once again I can't believe it came to this 'Cause you know you were my everything You were the perfect lover in my eyes But then you go once again Telling me what I think and how I feel but you got me so wrong, So you're just another woman to me now
Chorus
And here we are once again I can't believe it came to this 'Cause you know you were my everything You were the perfect lover in my eyes But then you go once again Telling me what I think and how I feel but you got me so wrong, So you're just another woman to me now
Shame It’s Over
About the song
Two people know their relationship has no future, yet neither is ready to let go. Attraction keeps drawing them back towards one more night together, even as they recognise that goodbye is inevitable. A tender, regretful song about the painful distance between wanting someone and being able to make a life together.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Call me lover tonight While there’s still a little left, of our hearts inside Holding on to this just ain’t right Should we run a thousand miles just to leave with our pride?
Verse 2
Come on over lover tonight We know it’s not working, let’s just leave it behind Nothing left to say, it’s just not right Just leave your key behind, let’s let fate decide
Chorus
Shame it’s over Shame it’s over Shame it’s over When it’s all we deserved
Verse 3
Can I see you lover tonight? We know we really shouldn’t, it’ll mess up our minds Just stay until the morning, it’s alright It’s horrific, here comes the moment, it’s our final goodbye
Chorus
Shame it’s over Shame it’s over Shame it’s over When it’s all we deserved
Instrumental break
Chorus
Shame it’s over Shame it’s over Shame it’s over When it’s all we deserved
I Won’t Go Down
About the song
A defiant rock-and-rap song about refusing to be defeated after an abusive relationship. Images of conflict and the boxing ring reflect the struggle to reclaim a life worn down by emotional battles. It also features Glyn’s one and only recorded rap performance—offered, with a smile, as an explanation for why he hasn’t repeated it.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Seduction by, skin deep beauty Tortured by wicked intent
Verse 1 — rap
Still think that you can break me down, but you won’t? Still thinking that I need you, ha! I don’t After all that I’ve been through that just wasn’t fair You must be deluded to think that I care I never gave a second thought to my needs while giving in to your selfish wining and pleads And what of the chances that I’d take you back? You must be kidding, don’t need the heart attack
Bridge
Why’d you bring me down?, why’d you try to bring me down? When you seem intent for your love to be battleground It don’t work like that, when you want someone, you have to show it It don’t work like that, when you’re with someone, then let them know it Why try to knock me down, while others try to beat me down This ain’t no ring, a ding ding, another round! It don’t work like that This is insane!
Chorus
I won’t go down See I’ve finally found myself Got my life in my hands, got a future ahead You can shout, you can scream, you can bitch No, I won’t go down, I won’t go down
Verse 2
Abstraction from, all life around you Fixated on crooked intent
Verse 2 — rap
The lover in life you demand me to show? Well, you’re nothing to me now, no way, oh no It took me while, to get my life back on track While small and petit, you were such a weight on my back You never stopped the wining ‘bout your greatest fear Those accusations and threats, that obligate me to be here Then when I left you scream “You just like the rest”! You know caused this yourself, ah! it’s just another test!
Bridge
Why’d you bring me down?, why’d you try to bring me down? When you seem intent for your love to be battleground It don’t work like that, when0 you want someone, you have to show it It don’t work like that, when you’re with someone, then let them know it Why try to knock me down, while others try to beat me down This ain’t no ring, a ding ding, another round! It don’t work like that You know it’s insane!
Chorus
I won’t go down See I’ve finally found myself Got my life in my hands, got a future ahead You can shout, you can scream, you can bitch No, I won’t go.
Instrumental
Chorus — repeat
I won’t go down See I’ve finally found myself Got my life in my hands, got a future ahead You can shout, you can scream, you can bitch No, I won’t go.
