I heard you're feeling a little low so I thought I'd let you know I've been thinking about you Well No.23 had a party late last night man those kids are just so damned wild music pumped out loud as canbe until the cops came by about a quarter to three ten i went awful quiet And here comes Wendy and here comes Mark they're taking the dog down to the park laughing, holding hands, happy as can be She's expecting they tell me And a boy on a bike dragging his mate on a skateboard grinning like fools as they're tearing up the side walk man how nice it would be to be so young and free and free And that's whats going down in the streets of my home town How are things with you? I heard you're feeling a little low so I thought I'd let you know I've been thinking about you Instrumental And I'm still here like I though I'd be the small town life is the one for me so why not drop by, we'll get high Everything will be alright Well alright, alright And that's whats going down in the streets of my home town How are things with you? I heard you're feeling a little low so I thought I'd let you know I've been thinking about you Mr Small Town Guy they call me Mr Small Town Guy

lyrics
TWO LEGGED FISH copyrightstevecharles1998 Well Im walking down your dirty streets again thinking about a time when they used to be mine this is the river that I used to swim in then now every breath is full of grit and every thought is full of crime You were my friend you used to swim with me two, two legged fish slipping through the mainstream We were to fast to fall for the baited line of the dealers hook and the sharp quick real yes we were to fast for the smiling sharks eager to take a bite out of a fresh young tasty meal You were my friend you used to swim with me two, two legged fish slipping through the mainstream instrumental We hung around the Rocks as the ships came near propping up our laughter with cheap bourbon and cheap beer laughing at the freaks with their fake plastic lures and brisling our colours at the glass boat bottom tours But you were my friend you used to swim with me two, two legged fish slipping through the mainstreamBut you were my friend you used to swim with me two, two legged fish slipping through the mainstream

James Bond (Karaoke Backing) 03:52
lyrics
JAMES BOND Lyrics by Steve Charles Music by Monty Norman and Steve Charles You might recognise his name You might even know his number And in a world where terror reigns He will protect you while you slumber Licensed to kill, dressed to kill he's the main attraction When all else fails, he's on the trail Such a man of action He has loved, He has lost And paid the cost Of living in the shadows James Bond From space to deep below the sea He has saved us all, time and time again Confounding world wide enemies Oh they can run but he will catch them in the end No foe to bad, No Plot to Mad He's the finest agent That MI6 ever had How he loves that danger One slip from Hell, one leap from heaven 007 James Bond Instrumental Dressed to Kill' Licensed to thrill Yes he's the main attraction When nations fall he will stand tall Such a man of action He has loved, He has lodt And paid the cost Of killing in the Shadows James Bond James Bond

Hope (Karaoke Backing) 04:31
lyrics
HOPE Written by Steve Charles (Aus) There's a ship and she sails the sea and her name is Hope and her Captain's me And her crew come from many lands Istanbul and the Isle of Man Mortals living on the wind and tide Strong men, Free men, Full of pride Many have tried ahh but now they sleep Where the blue turns black in the canyons deep But aaahh So Far And here we are For you there's a wind that blows 'cross this sea and it fills our sould with er mystery Pushing our vessel as she fills the sails Throwing spray in our faces as we Clutch the rails It comes a pounding like a savage beast Quickening our hearts ah the sensuous feast Over the cool blue and treacherous reef rarely sighting land rarely seeking relief aaahh So Far And here we are For youaaahh So Far And here we are For you Instrumental Repeat First verse and Chorus For you x 4

The Bells of St Mary's (Karaoke Backing) 03:34
lyrics
THE BELLS OF ST MARY's copyrightstevecharles2012 Do you remember the day we climbed all the way to the top of the tower of St Mary's? Looking over the edge lay the streets of Cambridge as the warm summer air blew through our hair you held my hand as we sat for awhile Looking over the city and streets of cobbled stone sitting so high like two kings on a throne we kissed in the sun as the church bells rang. I was lost in your eyes between earth and blue skies drowning in your smile as our hearts beat as one while down in Market Square a busker sang a song that rose like a choir to the cloud we were on Now the Bells of St Mary's still ring in my ears every time that you hold me even after all these years And if we ever go back I'll scratch our names into the stone Pembroke was shining like a n old weathered stone peoples sipping cocktails and a band on the lawn In the chapel stood a nervous groom best man was his brother as the bride made an entrance like the Spanish Armada We all raised our voices to the glories of love that rose the the heavens through the rafters above And when it was over we all gave a cheer and toasted the couple with Champagne and beer Grantham was sunny there were blossoms in the trees as we sat in the shade with Plowman's lunch on our knees remembering the young poets who used to lay there with the grass for a mattress breathing in the same air Now the Bells of St Mary's still ring in my ears every time that you hold me even after all these years And if we ever go back I'll scratch our names into the stone Thats the place I found some one, to call, my, own
