Original songs

It seems to be everywhere that I go
There’s always a finger being pointed at me
I try to do the right thing as best I know
People looking down on me – I just want to be stone free

Damned if you do
Damned if you don’t
You’ve always got someone going for your throat


I hold the door open just to be polite
The lady looks at me and says "Are you all right?"
"You’re trying to disempower me and my friend!"
Misinterpretation drives me round the bend

My buddy hits me for a grand when he’s down and out
He pays it back over a year or three
The next time when I see him and I try and help out
He throws it in my face and says "screw your charity!"




Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don't has "one of those kind of uncompromising track titles" (Zahra Soar - Dubai Radio 92 FM) and "is about the reality that with whatever good things you might do, people can always find negative things about it" (Star Studio Magazine).
