Easy Come, Easy Go . . . Shake up yourself, you're not the big man any more Pick up the pieces you left lying on the floor She's up and gone, you're on your own Better act your age, you know by now you ought to know, It's hard my friend, but it's Easy come and easy go. Seems so long since you last had to shed a tear Seems so wrong, she's out and you're left sitting here You can't believe, but oh yes it's true She found somebody that she wanted more than you It's hard my friend but it's Easy come and easy go. You're out of luck, she won the hand Best thing you can do is try to understand It's hard my friend but it's Easy come and easy go.

The Pie 03:40
The Pie . . . When I say I love you, you just act like I don't, Trying hard to prove you're near me, Always asking if you hear me. Telling me it's nothing when you say you've got to go, While I'm trying to unwind, That it's my loneliness that's binding me to you. When I say I love you, now it really means I love you, Don't you know, And if I give something it's because you give me something You don't know, you don't know. When I say I want you I can only bring you pain, I can only bring you heartache, I will always be the same. When I say I love you I can only speak your name, I can only take your number, If I ask you don't deny me one more time. Ah when I say I love you, now it really means I love you, Don't you know, And when the pie is open there'll plenty more to love you, You don't know, you don't know.

There Goes Another Dream . . . When the night comes in colours you recognise so well All those deep shades of purple and blue You pretend you're alright, But you know you lost the fight C'est la vie, there goes another dream. When you think that you found someone else in this life Who appears to be looking for the truth You get close, like a brother But a teardrop blows your cover C'est la vie, there goes another dream. When you see in a woman what you wanted for so long All those things in your head every night You get close to each other But she does not want a lover C'est la vie, there goes another dream.

Where Lies Your Soul . . . Where lies your soul, where do you stand When times get hard, who do you love What's in your heart when feelings break Under the strain of helpless love. Down comes the night, darkness reigns I call your name, where lies your soul I see my life go drifting by Slipping away before my eyes. I don't know, I don't know What makes it easier, I don't know I can feel, I can feel How much I need you now Oh don't know. And in the end, when time is done And all is one, Where lies your soul . . .

about

My take on a few songs from the pen of a favourite writer, a trusted friend and cohort, my brother, Iain Sutherland. This one's dedicated to the man himself, good times past and good times to come.
For some time now I've been contemplating covering or maybe uncovering, a few of Iain's songs. The songs he first sang to me in a kitchen or a hotel room, maybe waiting for a train or a plane, or at a bus stop as we shared a bag of chips in the rain. We sang together a lot. It was 'our thing', just something we did and had done since we were kids. The songs here are four of my favourites. Reactions to each other's songs never went much beyond "Yeah, that's a decent tune. Maybe we should give it a go?" These songs mean a lot of different things to me. Back to the deepest roots, bedrooms we shared as kids, a Kensington bedsit where we shared a tiny kitchen with folks we didn't know, and a house on a hill I could write a book about, but, where ever, whatever, always back to the days of "Right, mate. I've just done this one. What d'ya reckon?" On our first proper studio album our producer said we were the best arguers he'd ever heard. We'll take that as a compliment, Muff. Cheers! GS
