This is not the beginning by H.McMillan Dry your eye and put on your brave face We'll go out, catch the rain and we won't complain This is not the beginning We’re already halfway to the stars Dry your eyes, make a wish We do not begin like this This is not the beginning It’s cold outside and the trees shine like diamonds Let’s run till we fall or the frost of it all takes our breath away This is not the beginning We’re already halfway to the stars Dry your eyes, make a wish We do not begin like this This is not the beginning Dry your eyes, make a wish We do not begin like this This is not the beginning We’re already halfway to the stars Dry your eyes, make a wish We do not begin like this This is not the beginning We’re already halfway This is not the beginning Halfway to the stars Dry your eyes, make a wish We do not begin like this This is not the beginning We’re already halfway to the stars

The Last Time by H.McMillan Is it the last time I'll see you? When I wave you goodbye Even if I can't be near you I'll see you tonight They told me not to cry But you never waved goodbye If I only knew that I'd Seen you for the last time The last time Is it the last time Is it the last time I'll see you? When I wave you goodbye Even if I can't be near you I'll see you tonight I waited at the time but There was no-one on the line And I thought you were fine when I saw you the last time The last time The last time Is it the last time? Is it the last time? Is it the last time? Is it the last time? Is it the last time? Is it the last time? Is it the last time I'll see you? When I wave you goodbye Even if I can't be near you I'll see you tonight They told me not to cry But you never waved goodbye If I only knew that I'd Seen you for the last time Was it the last time? Is it the last time? Is it the last time I'll see you? When I wave you goodbye Even if I can't be near you I'll see you tonight For the last time For the last time A picture grab to hold in case I never get to see your face again For the last time We thought that we were made to last But all the change just came too fast for us

There's a Ghost in my House by H.McMillan All the memories are gone And when I try to make contact There's a ghost in my house I leave flowers on the table and I find them in the trash Writing me letters, writing me letters There's a ghost in my house We keep to our own existence Leaving me notes I used to hear her laughing I leave flowers on the table and I find them Now I feel so alone but there's a ghost in my house But we never seem to meet There's a ghost in my house Writing me letters Leaving me notes There's a ghost in my house Writing me letters Leaving me notes When I try to There are two worlds I feel cold when I walk in the room I used to hear But now it's silent as the grave There's a ghost in my house There's a ghost in my house There's a ghost in my house All the memories Leaving me notes There's a ghost in my house All the shadows There's a ghost in my house

Life gets in the way By H.McMillan I came upon a past life on my way into the city Just as I remember but now old and lass pretty And I asked myself a question - How the time has gone for her And I heard... Ooooo! Turn your life around my friend Your wants and needs will never end Remember what a wise man said He said "Life gets in the way" Don't get trapped by your worries son Lighten up and have some fun Bad things come but life goes on and Life gets in the way And when I turned to leave, the Guard grabbed my sleeve and he said I'd like to believe in the hereafter I've made all my plans and I've been a good man Ooooo! Turn your life around my friend Your wants and needs will never end Remember what a wise man said He said "Life gets in the way" Don't get trapped by your worries son Lighten up and have some fun Bad things come but life goes on and Life gets in the way Sometimes it seems that nothing gets better I'm always striving and getting beat Everything's doing but Nothing's improving Targets are too hard to reach Turn your life around my friend Your wants and needs will never end Remember what a wise man said He said "Life gets in the way" Don't get trapped by your worries son Lighten up and have some fun Bad things come but life goes on and Life gets in the way

Been Drinking by H.McMillan I just got up and the sun's so aggressive I'll crawl back to my bed Maybe a cup of something strong Might be better instead Aw shit, I know I was drinking too much But that's just the way that it goes The world seems tender to touch Aw man, the pain in my head! In fact it's all over Who's that on the chair? Seems like I know him We had an interesting talk about Life and austerity Where? Where is my vape man? I'm choking...and my shakes have severity Aw shit, I know I was drinking too much But that's just the way that it goes The world seems tender to touch Aw man, the pain in my head!

Good Morning by H.McMillan Good morning, Didn't you hear that I've been calling Down the rabbit holes you're falling Wondering what you have to say, Whether you'll come out to play Now the dark has gone away Good Morning, I see your conscious mind is dawning And when you stretch out and start yawning Spread your fingers and reach out , You should know that I'm about I've been waiting here without you Did you know that you have slept through shifting Paradigms I should show you what's been going on in all that time I'm so glad you're here with me Let's not ever ever...go to sleep... again. Instrumental Good morning, I see the hairstyle you're adorning Like some mad scientist with a warning Tell me all about your dreams Was there nothing as it seems, What you think it all means How it links in with the past And will it all work out at last But shouldn't we maybe have some breakfast first?

Stagefright (By H.McMillan) It's the same Black Abbot feeling, that I always get My mouth is getting dry and my palms are getting wet And every breath is shallow as my pulse begins to rise Till the heartbeats are exploding and there's panic in my eyes. My fingers are like putty and I'm reaching fight or flight The audience is waiting Their eyes like laser sights Just get out there and all of this will pass Just get out there... it will all be over fast I know I know I know you're trying to help and count me down But a maelstrom of Adrenalin has me now Each second is eternity and I can't seem to make a sound But I'm deafened by the silence and the room is spinning round And every pulse a bass drum...bursting in my ears Till I hear a voice from far away wavering with fear My fingers are like putty And I'm reaching fight or flight The audience is waiting With eyes like laser sights Just get out there and all of this will pass Just get out there... it will all be over fast I know, I know, I know you're trying to help and calm me down But a maelstrom of Adrenalin has me now Let's get out there and all of this will pass Let's get out there... it'll all be over fast I know I know I know you're trying to help and calm me down But a maelstrom of Adrenalin has me now Each second is eternity and I can't seem to make a sound

You have to believe in something by H.McMillan As another year gets older And the next one comes in view Looking back on all the highlights And the times you pulled me through Just when I believed in nothing I found you must believe in something And I believe in you If I count the times in snowflakes And the past fell all around I could build our love a castle That would never fall ever Because you have to believe in something And if I must believe in something Then I believe in you Because you have to believe in something And if I must believe in something Then I believe in you

Glasgow by Henry McMillan You are under my skin and The hold that you have... Don't know where to begin with it and I just can't get enough of you Oh, you're good and you're bad for me All the times that we've had... You see, I keep thinking of you When I'm not around. I want you to flourish May you always be better Better homes, better lives, Better loves, better times The people I meet and The warmth of the streets There's nowhere else can compete Because... This is the town that I love. Yeah! Every night has a buzz of excitement... And my feet can't keep still with The sounds and the lights around This is my kind of town And, when I'm shunning society Holed-up in bed till the calm of sobriety... Can save me You're the haven I turn to every time. I sense the change in you Nothing is ever the same with you Everything's new... But I still recognise where I am! Yeah!

about

This is a "Greatest Hits" album...but, since I have never had any hits - they are actually my greatest failures!

Each of these songs have been taken as far as I can take them (but I've said that before!) However, I'm happy with these current versions.

Currently 14 tracks...but a finer example of my failures can be found no-where else!

Fail again...fail better!
