about

Finalist of the 2009 Raise Your Banners Political Songwriting Competition.

"A beautifully crafted song which starts delicately and when you hear the guitar you know that this is someone who works hard to get things just right. Great, intelligent lyrics. I like this. I like this a lot. Going to be singing it to myself all day tomorrow."
Scubadog - Yorkshire Music Collective

lyrics

Still A Beautiful World
I stand on the platform; get herded into the train
My boss is a moron; my life seems to have no aim
I look at the headlines; I’m filled with a powerless rage
I flinch at the deadlines; I feel like I’m in a cage
Through the window the trees and the birds and the river go by
I wish instead of this shamed rubber bread I could eat up the sky
And be satisfied

Chorus
And you can scream at it all
It’s still a beautiful world when the sun shines
Got fools in charge of it all
It’s still a beautiful world in the moonlight
There’s so much I want to forget
But it’s still a beautiful world and though they do try
They’ve not spoiled everything yet
It’s still a beautiful world

Some guy sends a memo; ten thousand people’s lives are changed
And it’s the same M.O. all over the corporate game
And I’m just a minnow; small fish inside a goldfish bowl
Who cares I’ve no ammo? Who cares I’ve got no control?
Then the sun in the dale puts the scale on the valley below
And the trees in the mist just insist that the further you go
The less that you know

It rains in my office; It’s raining on the Sunshine Coast
It’s raining all around the world except in the places that need it most
But we’ve been blessed in abundance; We could fix it if we wanted to
But the fact we choose not to doesn’t make the world less beautiful
