Getting up at 5am
with the grey sky breaking
Doing a job he doesn’t like
His future he is betraying
Chorus
So come the rolling days
One much the same as the other
Stuck in a cycle of grey
Good stuff must’ve passed him over?
In to work he gets
Slaving away for a minimum wage
His brain seems to forget
What happened since yesterday
Chorus
So come the rolling days
One much the same as the other
Stuck in a cycle of grey
Good stuff must’ve passed him over?
He’s not cut out for the ordinary
He’s meant for something else
Something quite extraordinary
Is what he’s always felt
Chorus
So come the rolling days
One much the same as the other
Stuck in a cycle of grey
Good stuff must’ve passed him over?
No being a slave to the system for him
Or stacking shelves day in, day out
Always wondering what could’ve been
Sometimes he just wants to shout
Chorus
So come the rolling days
One much the same as the other
Stuck in a cycle of grey
Good stuff must’ve passed him over?

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
