about

This cautionary tale describes somebody re-inventing themselves, in the hope of rekindling things with a former partner. I'd been struggling to get the words right and not sure about the song. So I sent it to Sara Harris who recorded it remotely during lockdown; she came up with the perfect punchline to round it off! Her vocal and the sax session from Ian Ellis raised it to a level I'm really happy with; hope you agree..........

lyrics

It wasn't easy, creating the new me
It's been a long haul, seemed like a brick wall
But now that I'm healthy, respected and wealthy
Maybe we could meet again
Now I'm much stronger, days seem so much longer
Living a slow life - you may say that it's no life
But I'm in control now, I'm ready to roll now
We could have it all this time
I used to eat only take-away
Sweet snacks, I couldn't break away
Drinking, smoking, coke and cake every day
Yes I did my share
My morals didn't stand scrutiny, my body started to mutiny
But hey, excesses and gluttony, it wasn't so bad
I'd hate people to think I regret a thing

It's almost risk free, embracing the new me
Because I'm reformed now - we could whip up a storm now!
A beacon of virtue, it's time to convert you
Won't you raise a glass in sympathy?
