A Lonesome Life
Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 2016
I've seen better days than this
I've seen bluer skies
I had my chance I wasted it
Now it's a lonesome life
I could have been successful
I could have if I'd tried
Instead I am regretful
All bitterness and spite
Too late to apologise
Too late for a compromise
Oh it's a lonesome life
Oh it's a lonesome life
I have lost my tenderness
I have lost my youth
I am lost in bitterness
Like a bad tattoo
Too late to apologise
Too late for a compromise
Oh it's a lonesome life
Oh it's a lonesome life
Too late to apologise
Too late for a compromise
Oh it's a lonesome life
Oh it's a lonesome life

I Call Your Name
Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 2018
At the edge of the desert, I call your name, I call your name
When I’m broken and so hurt, I call your name, I call your name
On the top of a mountain, I call your name, I call your name
Like a wolf that is howling, I call your name, I call your name
And every midnight, I call your name, I call your name
In darkness and in light, I call your name, I call your name
From down in the gutter, I call your name, I call your name
For you were my lover, I call your name, I call your name
But it feels so empty and it’s all in vain, it’s all in vain (I call your name)
But it feels so empty and it’s all in vain, it’s all in vain (I call your name)
In a desperate prayer, I call your name, I call your name
From the depths of despair, I call your name, I call your name
Down at the crossroads, I call your name, I call your name
In a moment of lost hope, I call your name, I call your name
But it feels so empty and it’s all in vain, it’s all in vain (I call your name)
But it feels so empty and it’s all in vain, it’s all in vain (I call your name)
But it feels so empty and it’s all in vain, it’s all in vain (I call your name)
But it feels so empty and it’s all in vain, it’s all in vain (I call your name)

Flight 28
Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 2013
Final call for flight 28
A one way ticket to the United States
I hold you close in a desperate embrace
Before you walk through the boarding gate
We first met at university
When you were 21 and I was 23
You stuck it out and finished your degree
Then got a job with a global company
Into the blue
On an aeroplane
All that's left of you
Is a vapour trail
Ah into the blue
Now you're heading to the United States
For your career and a lucky break
You disappear through the boarding gate
Final call for flight 28
Into the blue
On an aeroplane
All that's left of you
Is a vapour trail
Ah into the blue

Dirty Streets
Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 2004
I’ve been up and I’ve been down
The dirty streets of tinsel town
I’ve still got stars within my eyes
I’ve still got dreams and I’ve still got desires
I maybe a nowhere man
Nobody knows me yet but I’ve still got my plans
Country music is in my veins
I’ve got an old guitar now I just need a break
I walk the dirty streets
Of tinsel town
I maybe a nowhere man
But I’ve still got my plans
I walk the dirty streets
Of tinsel town
I maybe a nowhere man
But I’ve still got my plans

The Cost
Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 2018
Down by the river where we used to meet
There is a willow that gracefully weeps
Which so many times we lay underneath
When we were young and when we were free
Loving you like the end of the world
Awakening something that I’ve never felt
Longing for you all through the night
Holding you close and holding you tight
But love doesn’t last and the years were unkind
And what was so precious is now hard to find
And promises made were so hard to keep
When money got tight and debts ran so deep
Our love turned to rust over the years
Affection to dust and nights full of tears
What we once had is over my dear
And all that is left is heartache and fear
So bitter and sweet a love that is lost
Admitting defeat and paying the cost
So bitter and sweet a love that is lost
Admitting defeat and paying the cost

Moment of Light
Words © Tim Hudspith, 2014
Music © Bruce Campbell, 1989
Into the city and into the grey
To service the debts I cannot pay
I want to hide I want to escape
Paying the piper everyday
Doing the deal rolling the dice
Standing apart hating my life
Sharpen the blade sharpen the knife
Clipping my wings and trying to fly
Watching the last moment of light
Digging a hole crossing a line
Losing a bet taking a slide
25 years under the thumb
Nowhere to hide nowhere to run
Watching the last moment of light

Dark Horses
Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 2018
I’m as lonely as a star
I’ve got a bitter broken heart
I put my trust in you
Then you told me we were through
Was everything a lie?
For what you loved you now despise
What about the plans we made?
I watch them all disintegrate
Now you’re running with dark horses
With a heart as black as night
You keep a father from his daughter
How can that be right?
I never knew you could be cruel
I guess I must have been a fool
What about our wedding vows?
Do they mean nothing to you now?
Now you’re running with dark horses
With a heart as black as night
You keep a father from his daughter
How can that be right?

Aeroplanes and Airports
Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 2005
It was the middle of July
And we were wrapped up in a lie
And the rain it played a tune
Upon my corrugated roof
You promised letter you would write
Upon your transatlantic flight
You would be staying with a friend
You gave me his address
We could not bring ourselves to say it
But both of us could sense it
That this would be the very last time
That we would be together in this house
Aeroplanes and airports
Tickets and departures
The acrid smell of kerosene
Aeroplanes and airports
Tickets and departures
The acrid smell of kerosene
Will you be happy over there?
Over the Atlantic
And will you ever think of me?
Over the Atlantic
The wind howled up and down the runway
As you through your arms upon me
For the very last time
The very last time
Aeroplanes and airports
Tickets and departures
The acrid smell of kerosene
Aeroplanes and airports…

Wedding Gown
Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 2009
My ship has set sail
And I’m coming home
With there be a parade?
Or will I walk alone?
I wish I could change
The cards that I hold
I wish I’d been brave
I wish I’d been bold
I still hear the drums
Almost every night
And the cannons and guns
Explode in my mind
And the photo of you
That I kept near my heart
Was damaged and ruined
And blown into parts
In less than a day
I will be home
Will there be a parade?
Or will I walk alone?
A familiar street
A familiar town
Do you still feel complete
In your wedding gown?
In your wedding gown
In your wedding gown...

The Gutter
Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 2008
The pimps and the whores
The dealers and scores
The cops and the laws
And the rich and the poor
The dirty old men
The money they spend
The straight and the bent
And the sins they repent
The strip and the tease
The birds and the bees
The lovers we leave
And the lies they believe
The credit and debt
The doubling of bets
The friends we forget
And the bitter regrets
These are the stories that make you shudder
These are the stories from the depths
The depths of the gutter
The bruises and the scars
The ghosts from the past
The drunks in the bars
Are all rock and roll stars?
The things that are said
The people misled
The blood that is shed
Down the rivers of red
These are the stories that make you shudder
These are the stories from the depths
The depths of the gutter

At Your Feet
Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 2007
Here are the mountains
Here are the streams
Here are the ridges
The snow covered peaks
Here are the deserts
The winds from the east
Here are the valleys
The lakes and the seas
Here are the cities
The people and kings
Here is the earth
The religions and hymns
Here are the planets
The stars and the moons
Here are the skies
I give them to you
If I could lay
These things at your feet
Would it make you stay?
Or would you still leave?
Don’t turn away
Darling don’t leave
I want to lay
These things at your feet
I will give you the key
I will give you the door
I will give you the deed
I will give you it all
Here are the mountains
Here are the streams
Here are the ridges
The snow covered peaks
If I could lay
These things at your feet
Would it make you stay?
Or would you still leave?

Muddy Water
Words and music © Tim Hudspith, 2004
There goes my shooting star
My ship has sailed
There goes my final chance
I guess I’ve failed
To recognise
All that I once had
But now I see
It all when I look back
I guess I’ve bought a ticket
To a lifetime of regret
I guess the door has closed
And there will be no second best
And I could count the cost
For eternity
Of all I’ve lost
With certainty
Or in muddy water deep
I could let my body float
In muddy water deep
Let this river take my hopes
In muddy water deep
All my love could flow
In muddy water deep
I could bury all my ghosts
And so I dive…
There goes my shooting star
My ship has sailed
There goes my final chance
I guess I’ve failed
