2.	I never quite got my act together 02:22	lyrics	buy track
I never quite got my act together I lurched from one near miss to another so its been throughout my life moments of joy, hours of strife just when I'm beginning to see the light I forget one thing I never... there have been times I thought I'd got it I forge ahead like a rocket hands on the wheel by George I've got it forgetting one thing I never... I forget where this all comes from the one Love that binds us weak or strong shedding light on whats right and wrong what remains when all else is gone as long as its an act you see it aint true, it aint me a half baked notion of what might have been forgetting one thing, of which now I sing I never... words & music by George Bacon ©Cottage Pie Music(BMI)

I’m waiting for the that thunderbolt to strike waiting for the that thunderbolt to strike waiting for that thunderbolt, blinding light in my soul waiting for the that thunderbolt to strike I’m waiting waiting in the rain waiting waiting in the rain waiting in the rain, just to see your face again I’m waiting, waiting in the rain I’m waiting for the sun to shine waiting for the sun to shine waiting for the sun to shine, when you say that you'll be mine waiting for the sun to shine words by Fabian Bonner, music by George Bacon ©Cottage Pie Music(BMI)

5.	like a child 04:12	lyrics	buy track
was a taxi cab day all yellow and green bought a bottle of Beaujolais set out for New Orleans walked over bridges across the great rivers innocence a uniform a package to deliver like a child, wide eyed in wonder cries every time it hurts like a child, I cant help but wonder do you miss me like I miss you it may not be so foolish to a fool because he’s the first one to ignore the golden rule follow his instincts stay away from school be the person that he is instead of being cool like a child…. was only yesterday they were together making love in an empty filed talking about the weather who knows why it had to end no particular reason it seemed important then like a child…. words & music by George Bacon & Darren Wiseman 2003
6.	how the river loves the rain 02:56	lyrics	buy track
where does it come from, where does it go as long as its flowing the riverbanks know when they're about to be dry land again how the river loves the rain without it the river starts to shrink and holy throats go dry for drink as the last drop drips into the main how the river loves the rain love the rain, like the river does like the plains in sunny Spain our lifeblood in all your glory how the river loves the rain the river provides for an abundance of life birds and fish and the fisherman's wife all of them thirsty for more of the same how the river loves the rain and people come by dressed in all kinds of clothes as boatman or damsel in buttons and bows they chirp, they whistle, they yell and they scream determined to detail the shape of their dreams no quiet til the heavens open again how the river loves the rain words & music by George Bacon  Cottage Pie Music(BMI) 2010

and when I feast my eyes upon your lovely body I get ever so excited my hands begin to tremble the sweat rolls down my back when you say, ‘yes, I’d be delighted…’ I suppose I really like you I suppose I really like you I suppose…..oh yeah sometimes we’ll take a bus out to the countryside and roll together in a haystack I’ll fumble with your buttons you’ll roll another number and we’ll get completely wasted I suppose…. and when we walk together and talk about the weather and hold each other from the wet we’ll go down to the pub have a beer or two and light each others cigarette I suppose…. words & music by George Bacon  Cottage Pie Music(BMI) 2003

I love to listen when you hold sway because I agree with a lot you say the sound of your voice is music to my ears soothe my heart, quell my fears tell me again that you love me how I love the way it sounds tell me again that you love me how I love the way it sounds sometimes you’re quiet, you don’t say much but I can read between the lines, when we touch I’m as happy as can be when we’re chewing the fat this repartee ‘tween you and me is where its at tell me again…….. like a river flowing past a tree like a morning bird sings a song for me like the wind ruffling your hair like my hearts crazy beat, honey when you’re near tell me again…….. words & music by George Bacon  Cottage Pie Music(BMI) 2003

about

I moved back to London at the end of February 2022. Once I'd set up home I naturally unpacked once again my little home studio. A few weeks in one morning, I turned on my 17 year old iMac and it quickly made it clear that its time had come.
I quickly decided to crowdfund a little money to update my home rig and promised all donors a new album some time before its release. This it!
My wonderfully generous contributors, without whose help this would not have been made, have had these tracks for nearly 2 months.
Having listened to it a great deal during the final mixing and mastering, its impossible for me to make any judgements about it musically. However it does seem to me that the various new bits of gear and software I'm now working with are helping me get a better sound than ever.
I do hope you enjoy the songs. Any feedback you may think appropriate would be most welcome.

love, peace and every good,
George
