Louise 04:24
Louise, Louise Ooh, Ahh The snowdome of your heart. Morning Morning Morning Blue It's dawning You're all that I want All that I need It's all about you. Louise, Louise Ooh, Ahh The snowdome of your heart.

On My Own 03:59
Black coffee and strong cigarettes Remind me of the time we spent in Rome No luxury of the internet Where I could get The news from home I was scared of flying I was scared of foreign food I was scared of your strange And unpredictable moods I could have stayed at home If I'd wanted to Wherever you go I'll be with you. Chorus I don't want to eat, I don't want to sleep On my own I don't want to eat, I don't want to sleep On my own. I remember the days I was ill And you put me to bed And went to read by the fire I lay awake and had visions of you Heard you whispering too As my fever got higher You said 'I'll leave in the morning Be back another day Close your eyes and don't worry It's better that way'. Did you hear me cry out 'I don't want you to' Wherever you go I'll be with you Chorus When I'm alone in the dark in my own company I feel lost and alone I want you to see That there's nothing you can do To keep me away from you Chorus

Long Road 04:59
She could stop the tears from stinging Couldn't stop the end from beginning Couldn't stop the rising tide Of jealousy and dented pride Her days filled with bad vibrations Nights awake with meditations Now she knows she's through with you She wants to leave, she's going to. Ooh Leave them behind Your problems and all of your cares Ooh There's a future ahead I'll take you there Chorus She's on the long road The long road from you She was always on the wrong road It was the only one that she knew It's an old fashioned feeling but the Passion is new It's hard to tear away The memories that are there You know it's like Trying to wash away The colour from your hair But you know as We get older, the colours start to fade As we get wiser, dreams are born not made Chorus Keep on moving Keep on moving on Through the morning mist And through the shadows long Ooh Leave them behind Your problems and all of your cares Ooh There's a future ahead I'll take you there Chorus

England 06:08
The seasons here are the right length of time You're bored so quickly said a good friend of mine You wear your winters like an old pair of shoes The summer reaches you like yesterdays news Where are the headlines? What year was the vintage wine? Where are you going And when will your story end? You think it's funny But the comedy is you You scribble lines With your fingers turning blue The ones who love you don't want you at home You turn the engine on and curl up all alone Where has the light gone What year did it all go wrong When will the pain inside Your sense of pride amend Chorus Wherever you say you're Do you know who you are Do you know who you're running from? Wherever you say that you're from We're in England Do you know where you belong? I watched the fog lift on Montpellier Parade The ice was forming on the stairs and balustrades And at the jewellers where the flower seller shouts They're giving wide births to the homeless down and outs Where is my country? It wasn't like this but Then I fell asleep Where are the dreams we knew? Are the green and blue skin deep? Across the road and the park is alive Dogs are barking and the children run and hide They're laying poppies at the war commemorate With troubled eyes they watch The youths down by the gate The brass starts to sound The band stand on imperial ground Where are our children Now we've counted up to ten? Chorus I don't wanna paint A picture that's not true I know that the colours might run Differently for you Chorus

He works down at the petrol stop Not so far from here He dreams of Brighton Pier His days roll by on axle grease Washed down with beer 'til they're sparkling and clear And oil pools leave rainbows on the ground The ghosts of motor cars summer bound He longs for the weekend to be here When he'll walk on Brighton Pier She works down at the shopping mall Not so far from here She dreams of Brighton Pier She's saving for her wedding dress In the shop across the square She'll wear flowers in her hair And she'll run On foreign sands Make love in exotic lands She won't stay long Her heart will long to hear Those waves on Brighton Pier Chorus These days are ours The days we love, we learn and we give These lives are ours the lives The lives we learn to live These days are ours The days we love, we learn and we give These lives are ours the lives The lives we learn to live Ooh Brighton Pier Now winter is coming on the breeze The ground is soft with Autumn leaves The nights are drawing in Cigarettes, cans and bottles Lie upon the shore The ghosts of those who came before The ghosts of those now gone And Christmas bells will be ringing out Of hope and peace in the new year I'll hold you in my heart 'til summertime We'll walk on Brighton Pier Chorus

Changing Man 04:55
Spent some time in the holy land Many one night stands from paradise Then I looked in your eyes today Saw your love decay It wasn't nice If heaven wants you Or hell wants you You're wanted with your heart intact Ring those bells Yeah ring them loud for me Chorus I'm gonna talk You're gonna listen I'm a changing man I'm gonna talk You're gonna listen I'm a changing man I can show you where I live The people I slept with All left through the back door All my fittings and fixtures I'll show you some pictures The sort you've not seen before If you love me Or you don't love me Leave me with my pride intact Sing that song yeah Sing that song for me Chorus Oh have mercy Lord have mercy Don't let this one get away Ring those bells yeah Ring them load today Chorus

Rising tide Rising high And there'll be nothing left When you return The Autumn sky Said 'The Winter's mine' And there'll be nothing left When you return The urgent sea Set me free And there'll be nothing left when you return My field of dreams Softly screams Let there be nothing left when you return Chorus Because I feel My life changing As the morning breaks and my heart aches Sinks with the setting sun The Winter trees Begged me please Let there be nothing left when you return My desert sands Forced my hand And there'll be nothing left when you return Chorus Changing, Changing Chorus The harvest storm Kept me warm And I'll be waiting here when you return The iceberg's song Proved me wrong So I'll be waiting here when you return I'll be waiting here when you return I'll be waiting here when you return

The Siren 04:26
Blue Oh sea blue I am the tide I wish you were mine Follow the moon Follow the moon I am the tide I wish you were mine Green Is my dream I am the tide I wish you were mine Follow the moon Follow the moon I am the tide I wish you were mine See me Grabbing your shore Grabbing your shore Feel me Grabbing your shore I am the tide I wish you were mine Follow the moon] Follow the moon I am the tide I wish you were mine.

Portland and Plymouth Biscay Trafalgar Fitzroy and Dogger Cromarty and Sole Viking and Fisher Humber and Dover Hebrides Bailey Then Shannon and oh.. Breathe your time away You're leaving the ranks Of the ones who are hear to stay Your fortunes gone astray You have to look to the horizon anyway I've seen your eyes They're two moons full of skies And the way that they're turning Tell me that you're yearning For freedom from me So you look to the sea The moon and the stars And the heavens above Chorus Each time that you listen to the Shipping Forecast It conjures up storms in your head And one day soon you will realise Than to stay here you'd rather be dead. Than to stay here you'd rather be dead. Portland and Plymouth Biscay Trafalgar Fitzroy and Dogger Cromarty and Sole Viking and Fisher Humber and Dover Hebrides Bailey Then Shannon and oh.. Brave your time away I know you must feel like your Dreams have been washed away I'll be here come what may Be next to you right through your Hardest darkest day There's a wind from the north And I know you'll set forth With a steel in your eye And no tears to dry So then goodbye To those moons full of sky With the tide they are turning And your heart is yearning Chorus

There's a place I call dreamtime It's somewhere for just you and I But we live in the meantime With the hard earth below us And above us the sky What did she tell you she wants? Was it only to go where no lovers have gone? What did she tell you she needs? Was it only to see her? The real her? Chorus A little distance will go a long way When you're lost in the grey Of another cold day And the feathers that fall at your feet As you walk down the street Will carry you with them one day You know a story that I know I like to think that they both end the same It's unclear in my mind though Are the tears that I'm crying For pleasure or pain What did she tell you she wants? Was it to hear what you wanted to say? What did she tell you she needs? Was it only to feel her The real her Chorus

about

The Shipping Forecast is Pete's debut album. It was written, performed, recorded and produced by Pete and it features Claire Sen on vocals and Emma Stone on flute and sax. The album comprises 10 tracks with beautiful vocal harmonies, soulful instrumental solo's and superb and in places proggy arrangements such as in the title track.
The album deals with different characters and moods from the haunting track 'The Siren' that features a vocal performance matching that of Clare Torry's 'Great Gig in the Sky' performance. 'Harvest Storm' is a power house and sets the tone for the epic track 'The Shipping Forecast'. Also included is the minimalistic 'On My Own' and the sentimentality of tracks such as 'Brighton Pier' and 'A little Distance'. Whilst the album doesn't slide easily into any specific genre, there is a folky aspect to Pete's writing as most of his songs are about people and places. Expect jazzy piano parts, overdriven guitars and great tunes too however.
After recording the album, Pete put together his live band 'The Anthem Sprinters'. They are currently working on Pete's second album.
