Born in the backstreets of the Gorbals in Glasgow Scotland, Kept in hospital because of Tuberculosis untill I was five, released, and given the all clear when I was fifteen, have always worked for a living and suppose had a pretty hard upbringing, but I wouldn't change it for the world, love life and my outlook of it, have always as far as I can remember written poetry and songs.Initially rewriting the words to old favourites like Maries Wedding for a laugh when singing in the school choir, You will see a similar example of this if you read the poem Pretend, It was written to the music of Michael Jacksons song Ben, Later I wrote songs for various local bands, I Started to get serious when asked to write advertisements and flyers for local events and historical sites and realised I could get paid for doing something I enjoyed, Now I write for my own band The Raptors. We have our own site at Raptor music.co.uk We also have sites on www.soundclick.com/theraptors or www.myspace.com/theraptors.As well as Indie music.com, Drop by and have a listen to some of our music.
Lay down on your pillow
and turn the lights down low
let me take you to the garden
where the passion flower grows
...
I am the redeemer
I will search your soul
to look for all you've given
and seek for all you hold
...
Chocolate is funny
chocolate is fun
you can spread it on your body
you can lick it with your tongue
...
Let me kiss that special kiss
the one that's more than touch
that gentle pressing of the lips
persuading blood to rush
...
