The wind whips the ferry as it passes by the heads with its cargo of commuters and tourists and kids - and mums and dads. It's a fine day on the harbour.

Hi folks. I have added a lot of videos recently. Please take a look!
Hi folks, This site acts as a personal archive of my work. So you'll find my best recordings here as well as some pretty crappy ones. The earliest recordings here were made on simple cassette decks, others were made on mobile phones, some are live recordings made at various gigs over the years, a handful were made in small recording studios, but most of the more recent ones were made at home on a Zoom portable studio, which itself is now rather ancient! If you like a song and want to download it, click on 'Full song info' for that song and you will see the download link. You can also read the lyrics and any background information on the songs that I may have added. All my music is available for free - enjoy :) cheers, Charles

Story behind the song
Inspired by riding on the Manly Ferry in Sydney, Australia
Lyrics
The wind whips the ferry as it passes by the heads With its cargo of commuters and tourists and kids - and mums and dads Its a fine day on the harbour The seagulls wheel and cry And everyone is sailing away into the blue That perfect blue Sydney sky Its a long way from London Its a long way from Rome And its far from California, but its where I live. I call it home Im not a native son So very few can make that claim I came here on a whim just as I am With a simple plan To sink or swim Lalalalala If Europe is a diamond. If Asia is a pearl If the worlds a box of jewels, which would you save? Which would you sell? Ive travelled round the world Its such a pleasure to explore But theres one destination that always leaves me wanting more My front door And theres one thing I should tell you before I let you go You can always be mistaken about everything you think you know Were all in this storm together. Were all searching for dry land So if you see someone thats drowning Dont sail by Throw out a line And lend a hand Lalalalala The swell lifts the ferry as it slices by the heads With its cargo of commuters - and kids and all the rest Its a fine day on the harbour The seagulls wheel and cry And everyone is sailing away into the blue That perfect blue Sydney sky
