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
The story speaks for itself.... :)
Lyrics
Hole in my pocket When I was just a little boy my daddy gave me pocket money Tried to teach me how to save it for those rainy days But it wasn't very long till the truth began to dawn That money and me were going separate ways I'd go out in the morning with a pocketful of dollars And come home in the evening with nothing at all When daddy got angry I said "Daddy don't shout I've got a hole in my pocket where the money runs out!" Hole in my pocket - won't somebody tell me where the money goes Hole in my pocket - I keep on asking but nobody knows At the age of twenty-one I was spending on seduction Pretending to be rich I landed a spouse So of course there was divorce and financial destruction I got the legal bills and she got the house I was so depressed I went to talk to my accountant To see what he could do to get me back in the black He looked at me and sighed and said "I can't break your drought You've got a hole in your pocket where the money runs out!" Show me the money - I'll show you how to make it disappear Give me a million - in no time at all there'll be nothing there! They say it's harder for a rich man to find the way to heaven So I guess it should be easier for someone like me But I've got a bad feeling when I reach the pearly gates St Peter will be standing there denying me the key He'll say "What did you do with all that money that we gave you? We need an explanation why you ended up broke" I'll say "Peter, please give me the benefit of the doubt I've got a hole in my pocket where the money runs out!" Hole in my pocket - won't somebody tell me where the money goes Hole in my pocket - I keep on asking but nobody knows - nobody knows I've got a hole in my pocket where the money runs out!
