Woodlouse "This Island Earth" is my most favorite of his tunes
Pop, compact, varied and electric guitar hops
I like it because it's close to "Asia", which is my most favorite prog band. Favorite track: This Island Earth.

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) How could I ignore this gem for such a long time?! It has all properties I cherish in Steve Clarks's music in abundance. Be prepared for exemplary songwriting with both superb lyrics and exciting music. Favorite track: Letter from Centaurus A.

This Island Earth - Old world turning 'round Bleeding inside as we tear up your ground We all want a piece And we're taking the things we have found I know it's agreed The need to survive But there's too much going on There's too much going wrong On this island earth ...... Old ways move aside They're out-dated and tried We're leaving the past 'Cause we know it won't last Let's move on We can read the signs The world declines We have to change This island earth ...... And I know with change There's always fear Yet until you tread the mystic path You're inner eye won't see Events foretold by Prophets past The earth is one country ...... New world turning 'round Coming together as wisdom is found Old world been and gone We're moving on And we're all one On this island earth sclarkmusic9 © 2010

Mother’s Sons 500 - Counting the pilots In their pressed grey jackets They stand Feet on ground But heads in the clouds above They’re mother’s sons 500 Fed on the milk of kindness Fragile wings And threaded strings like a kite Sky chaser, death defying Dance for life And it’s almost graceful Except when the hammer’s down And fire spits Mother’s sons Flying on by Heaven bound In another time Your bravery remembered She said that she’d always Take care of him She said that she’d always Be by his side She said that she’d always Remember him Then he said that he must leave And fight for the Fatherland Over the channel he flies now ‘Till foreign land Meets with the sea The air is chill on hands and face The sky’s a painted scene But soon the canvas will be scratched and torn By air-born soldiers Barely seventeen Mother’s sons Flying on by Heaven bound In another time Your bravery remembered She said that she’d always Take care of him She said that she’d always Be by his side She said that she’d always Remember him But he never will return sclarkmusic9 © 2010

The Night Flight - I took a night flight On a light plane Made a wrong turn May never see home again Altitude ten thousand feet Conditions fine ahead The skies were clear Stars were bright When I took this night flight Something strange out to the right Moving, spreading out The compass spins The dials alight Another world is forming in my eye In my eye ........ Night becomes day Space inside out I feel like Dave Bowman Might meet Major Tom There's something moving in my soul Taking all my fears Leading me to higher worlds Where my sight is now becoming clear I took a night flight On a light plane Made a wrong turn Never see home again sclarkmusic9 © 2010

Borderlines 09:30
Borderlines - Sail on across the crystal sea I'm looking for another place I'd rather be Light fades as the sun sets In colours that covered the day The main sail catches starlight From patterns that dance On the north sea, south sea, east sea, west sea Then away......... Man on land A grain of sand Lost in time Condemned from birth On a scarred earth of borderlines One day he may see That the fighting is in vain For the oceans they run deep And the circle 'round The north lands, south lands, east lands, west lands They are the same lands....... So I asked Poseidon for a sign And he turned and spoke to me He said, "Set a course for the earth's blue rim And fear not Across the Tempest to the Lightkeeper's Gates Fly off the edge and leave this place And looking back you'll see A tiny speck in an endless sea And it's borderline free Borderline free........" So I took my tiny boat to sea And followed the old man's signs For many days and nights I sailed In liquid space I have to have my fears The ocean rises The tempest nears Descending into the darkness A strange calm on a green icy sky Am I near the edge Or lost here to die Waiting for a sign Something far below Coming near Open my eyes Is that a small light I see Old man has delivered me Prayer Faith Sign And now it's time to fly So long my little lonely star How long will borderlines scar Your north lands, south lands, east lands, west lands How long How long ....... sclarkmusic©2010

Letter from Centaurus A - To my Dear Aunty May Hope this letter finds you some day It didn’t need a stamp or return address So I drew the airmail sticker anyway And I know it’s been sometime Sorry about the delay But DHL and Comet will not call around When you’re 10 million light years away And it’s lonely out here It takes time to make friends And yet I’m learning their ways So do not worry Aunty May No do not worry Aunty May And the morning sky fills with stardust And there’s no fear of death or war And I have no fear for earth’s future Anymore .... And so Aunty May I’ve come to the end of the page Hope I haven’t caused you too much sadness But just remember when you’re looking up I’m out there......somewhere I’m out there......somewhere Goodbye Aunty May Goodbye Aunty May ..... sclarkmusic9 © 2010

Commander Codfish - Flying high in the clear blue sky Commander Codfish With a sparkle in your eye I never thought you’d be my hero Your feats of valour signify The reasons for the deep respect Your squadron has for you And I wish I was back in your time For just a day or two In a Sopwith Camel F2-1 Wing to wing with you Then we’d soar above the mighty clouds And seek the enemy Then return to base For a cup of good old British tea .... We’d walk around our faithful planes And note the bullet holes That missed the vital working parts And spared our mortal souls Then we’d talk about the days Before the Great War came When men were free And didn’t have to die shot down in flames So let’s drink a toast to the living And count our blessings too Wing Commander Codfish I’m proud to stand by you And for the record I must say This has been my finest day To chat and reminisce your times And count your victories Yet I’m a man of peace my friend I see no sense in war But to fight for King and country Is a noble thing I’m sure So now the time has come to part I’ll take these memories God bless you in these troubled times Climb in your plane Take to the skies And shine sclarkmusic9©2010

The Note She Wrote - Young girl paints her lips And wipes her tears away No words could sort it out She's leaving home today So run on down the narrow path Climb in the car and start to laugh And the wind blows back her long dark hair As the car speeds on towards the city Of a million broken dreams..... She thought she'd find her way In the city where the night is day But her dreams were almost spent All the money gone in rent As the ladies of the night must pay the price Waiting for the break that never came.... Many days she'd spend in her room Waiting for a call Hope it's coming soon And many days she'd spend in her head Pretending all was well Pretending she's an actress on the silver screen Things never seem to turn out right In her room she'd cry and cry Teenage dreams and innocence All lost in the night Lost in the night She'll turn out the light Is this how it ends Outside the city keeps on moving on Taking up a pen and wondering what to say The note she wrote Upon the page was short and sweet It said 'Hello Mum and Dad I'm coming home....' sclarkmusic9©2010
