Mister Insignificant
Genres: Folk, Singer-Songwriter
MISTER INSIGNIFICANT He’s the man who has to stand up on the bus He’s the man who hardly ever makes a fuss He’s the man who get his news feed every day He’s the man who hasn’t really much to say He’s the man whose life is oh so innocent And his name is Mister Insignificant He’s the man who waits there quiet in the queue You don’t notice and he doesn’t notice you He’s the man who you just shouldered in the street He’s the man who you will never ever meet He’s the man whose life is not magnificent And his name is Mister Insignificant CHORUS He’s the man who we all know But we never stop to say hello Wears an unfamiliar face Caught up in the mad rat race He’s so human you know He’s the man who cruises in the middle lane He’s as close as you can get to being sane He’s the man who’s hardly ever late for work And he thinks that people think that he’s a jerk And he cries when he thinks death is imminent And his time on Earth in insignificant CHORUS Yeah, he’s the man who we all know But we never stop to say hello Wears an unfamiliar face Caught up in the mad rat race He’s so human you know But one day somethin’ in his head just snaps Wreaks havoc with this momentary lapse His face is splashed on every TV screen The maddest guy the world has ever seen And the rating points are just magnificent And he’s no longer insignificant CHORUS Yeah he’s the man who we all know But we’d never stop to say hello Wearing that familiar face A victim of the mad rat race He’s not human you know He cannot be human, you know.

Seven Days
Genres: Country, Folk, Singer-Songwriter
Seven Days Monday was a mundane day And Tuesday was one too Wednesday, I wonder when's the day That I'll again see you. Thursday for the third day I sent flowers to your door Friday and I find today You don't want me any more Saturday was a sadder day Than I have ever known Sunday I pray that some day You'll tell me you're comin' home Chorus Seven days have made a weak A weak man out of me The tears are rollin' down my cheek I just cry in misery Seven days since I’ve seen your face That's seven days too long Until I feel your warm embrace How can I, next week, be strong? The days they come and the days they go But you stay on my mind Each minute hopin' that you will show I just watch the hours unwind But Monday was a mundane day And Tuesday was one too Wednesday, I wonder when's the day That I'll again see you. Seven days have made a weak A weak man out of me The tears are rollin' down my cheek I just cry in misery Seven days since I’ve seen your face That's seven days too long Until I feel your warm embrace How can I, next week, be strong? Yeah, Until I feel your warm embrace How can I, so weak, be strong? © Allan West 26 October 2022

Crystal Tears
Genres: Rock, Folk, Singer-Songwriter
CRYSTAL TEARS – Lyrics by Allan West The mad mutilation of civilisation The vulture chewing at culture The man in the crowd Is talking too loud We'll turn him into a soldier The sad degradation of sophistication You know Mother Nature Must hate yu! You say you can't see this mad killing spree Yet your own Frankenstein just ate yu! CHORUS So how does it feel Now you know that it's real? And life's no big deal, yeah How does it feel? And what will you do now And what will you say? When that big boy upstairs Just gives us away? The senseless starvation of God's own creation And how many times were we told? That our chance of survival Has too many rivals Now our human warmth has run cold CHORUS So how does it feel Now you know that it's real? And life's no big deal, yeah How does it feel? And what will you do now And what will you say? When that big boy upstairs Just gives us away? BRIDGE Crystal tears of forgotten years Of memories bitter and sweet As life rolls along To the tune of a song That has no rhythmic beat Our end of existence will see no resistance We'll offer no Why, When or Hows And God will create a new kind of race With a conscience much greater than ours! CHORUS So how does it feel Now you know that it's real? And life's no big deal, yeah How does it feel? And what will you do now And what will you say? When that big boy upstairs Just gives us away? He'll just ... give us away © Allan West

Easy for You
Genres: Rock
EASY FOR YOU – Lyrics by Allan West Verse 1 You sit there With your fake blonde hair And your Marie Clare And you just don’t care For me You drive away Every single day In your Chevrolet And do a spot on Pay TV Chorus You say I’m always gonna be the one But you’re the one who’s always out there havin’ fun You say we’ve gotta trust each other every day Well listen when I tell you honey That’s easy for you to sayyyy, yeah That’s easy for you to say Verse 2 You look so nice When you roll that dice ‘n’ cool your lips with ice But you’ll pay the price One day Who’s gonna know you when the chips are down? Who’s gonna be around? When some new kid in town Starts to play Chorus You say I’m always gonna be the one But you’re the one who’s always out there havin’ fun You say we’ve gotta trust each other every day Well listen when I tell you honey That’s easy for you to sayyyy, yeah That’s easy for you to say Bridge In front of that lens There are no split ends You’ve got a fear you disguise With your contact blue eyes Is that really you Or the autocue Tellin’ me of poverty in Kathmandu? Verse 3 You trip the light Every single night With the erudite But there’s a morning’ sight They don’t see Who makes you coffee for your throbbin’ head? When you’re feelin’ dead? Who keeps you warm in bed? That is me Chorus I realise they’re tearin’ you away You’re gonna up and leave me in your Chevrolet But when you whisper to me in that special way ‘Tell me that you love me, honey!’ That’s easy for me to sayyyy, yeah That’s easy for me to say.
