Monday dawns so dull and grey
Scrawl a note, throw it away
Too many tears in the gentlest jail I've known

Creeping past the pavement cracks
Blackbirds swarming behind our backs
Too many fears crowding out the hopes we'd sown

Everyday, Everyday
A taxi wave
Words we didn't say
And I'm just clinging onto
Everyday

Left a message on your phone
That's the last time I'll be home
Too many years like a flag that's never flown

Stepping outside, are we free
The monkey chatters endlessly
A souvenir of the life we shared alone

Everyday I talk to walls, how are you doing?
Now I'm standing by the road saluting magpies

Everyday, Everyday
A taxi wave
Words we didn't say
And I'm just clinging onto
Everyday

PAUL GRIFFITHS:

Born at an early age in Manchester England, Paul's "at times comic, at times tragic" original songs have been characterized as "Briti-Cana: Americana with a British flavor."

Initially inspired by the high energy country covers of British boogie bands and later pub rock's good-time-Charleys, Paul learned guitar and some stage craft from the guitar-loving boyfriends of his big sister, right before punk rock's scorched-earth-year-zero ideology ripped a hole in British pop culture.

Multiple musical endeavors inevitably followed; JB Sweat and The Perspirations, The Cheekie Pigs, Beergut 100, The Dickheads, Rough Vessel, The Suspects, Pat etcetera. Paul also served time in the folk singer and bluegrass trenches between even shorter lived musical experiments hopefully lost to the mists of time.

From Bristol England to Bangkok Thailand, from Burmese border towns to Saigon, Paul considers himself lucky to have made music in exotic sounding (at least) locations, eventually finding kindred spirits and a musical home in the Bay Area, honing his songwriting and performing skills along the way.

In the last few years, Paul has shared stages with some of his favorite local and even a few internationally known musicians, performing original material with his band The Scofflaws.
