HI to all and welcome to Griffo's world,
about 40 songs so far attached are some of them...a lot of the recordings are just my work under the house with a band but im slowly going though them one by one and getting them redone to cd quality by musos from around the world so get passed the bad recordings and read the lyrics while you sip on your favorite drink.. use headphones if you have them ...more fun that way and tell the kids to go to bed......cheers ...griffo...stillworkin.....

life sometimes throws you an awkward curved ball
and the way that you play it will be judged by them all
like a sail boat riding along in a storm
take her straight to the waves .....yeh hit em front on
like all the kings horses and all the kings men
sometimes things cant be put back together again
so you dust yourself off and you try to pretend
that the hurt doesn't show........and the pain stays within.........
(Chorus)
you got to roll with it
yeh just got to flow
you got to roll with it
let your self grow
get down deep in your soul with it
just let it roll
roll with it...just let it roll
(guitar solo)
well i know what you're doing i've been down this road
and i've seen all the ugly that people can throw
but you don't have to reap what another man sows
choose your own path to life ............and let your self grow
(chorus)
you got to roll with it
yeh just got to flow
you got to roll with it
let your self grow
get down deep in your soul with it
just let it roll
roll with it...just let it roll
(bridge)
there's too many people alone in their beds
they have no direction there lives are a mess
but the way out is what they've been keeping repressed
blame it all on yourself.......i couldn't care less
(Synth solo)
(chorus)
you just got to roll with it....
yeh just got to flow ....
roll with it
let your self grow
get down deep in your sole with it
just let it roll
just got to roll with it
just let it roll
roll with it...just let it roll
(Outro guitar solo)
Roll with it.....

(intro)
This house of cards
This house of cards
VERSE I
It started out a friendship we had everything you need
But somehow down the road we lost. We lost that loving beat
Like a fragile house of cards mocks the life we tried to lead. Never
Knowing when the big wind will come, a dancing around our feet I SAID ...
BRIDGE
(This House of Cards)
VERSE II
How do we live not knowing, not knowing how to give?
And everyday seems harder than the last
But we somehow have to find a way to straighten up the walls. In our!
Fragile house we built on the past
CHORUS
Can’t keep walking through this house, this house of cards no more
Every step I take points me right back to the door
Something’s got to give, yeah something needs to change, cause this
House of cards we built is slowly driving both of us away
(BUILD )
This house of cards!
SOLO - (Lead guitar -
BRIDGE
(This House of Cards)
VERSE III
How come it always seems to be the answers right there at your feet, it may be
Hidden just behind your own front door
Don’t give up on the dream or the life you want to lead
Just keep on looking for what you’ve been searching for
CHORUS
no i Can’t keep walking through this house, this house of cards no more
Every step I take points me right back to the door
Something’s got to give, yeah something needs to change, cause this
House of cards we built.............. is slowly driving both of us away

that won't ever happen ..this i ..now..... painfully know.............
'cause her gravestone reads...just.... how she had missed me so.......
(chorus)
oh now where did lucy go.........
she was my best friend.........
her memory ..........so........ strong

night on the town lyrics by griffo & snowdoguk
Intro
A night on the town
Verse 1
It started out just a night on the town
Was feeling good and all my friends were around
Well this is my life and how it should be
Couple of drinks and some good company
Bridge
just another night on the town
just another night on the town
Verse 2
The beers were flowing and smoke filled the room
I saw your face though the window and knew
That you'd be mine tonight but i never thought
Of consequence and the trouble i brought
(chorus)
There's always something to ruin your night
Get in an argument or maybe a fight
Sometimes i wish that I'd let it be
And wake in the morning with some good memory's
Verse 3
See as it turned out, you weren't alone
I should have realized when you were on the phone
An hour later and your man stumbles in
If looks could kill,...well I'm diein again
(chorus)
Instrumental
Verse 4
i should know better that's the way that it is
ant no excuses that's the way that i live
care factors zero when im on the piss
we've all been there and well do it again
(chorus) x2
(chorus)
There's always something to ruin your night
Get in an argument or maybe a fight
Sometimes i wish that I'd just let it be
And wake in the morning with some good memory's
there's always something to rewin your night
get in an argument or maybe a fight
sometimes i wish that id get it right
to wake in the morning can be a hell of a sight
Outro
Another night on the town
