The temperature’s dropped, noise stopped, barometer’s fallen
Sunrays poke their own way through the gloom
The wilderness and the emptiness are calling
You’ll never get out, if you don’t get out there soon
Round this time of year, you gain a primal yearning
And it burns just like the fires upon the fell
The colours of your youth they are returning
Wash over the gates of God with the flames of Hell
And who’s to say, you’ll end up swimming backwards
For you the current flows far too strong
You’ve never lacked in passion, you’ve never lacked lust
Who’s to tell you that sort of thing is wrong?
So watch over me tonight and I just might
Washover you
So watch over me tonight and I just might
Do anything you do
Anything you do
Do anything you do
Do anything you do
Anything you do
Round this time of year, you begin to get crestfallen
You say there’s just so much you have to do
And ain't it easy to get down when things get boring
But then you work out exactly what is true to you
So watch over me tonight and I just might
Washover you
So watch over me tonight and I just might
Do anything you do
Anything you wanna do
Anything…
Washover you
Washover you
Round this time of year
Yeah, round this time of year
Round this time of year

about
An ever-expanding album, written over Summer 2022. Some heavier tunes feature this time.
Photo is my own, of Workington Docks in Cumberland, England.
Mouth of a Docker? Mouth of the Cocker? or Mouth Like A Rocker? - who knows what would have made the best album title?
Actually this doesn't quite work, as Workington Docks sits at the mouth of the River Derwent, not the River Cocker, which joins the Derwent at, you guessed it, Cockermouth... never mind eh.

Mint Biscuit: "Mouth Like A Rocker"
Richard Thomas goes for a rough-around-the-edges approach on "Mouth Like A Rocker", the new album by his one-man project Mint Biscuit. His hard rock side comes to the fore in I'm A Big Metal Fan and the bluesy The Jaguine Article.
Being the proud owner of a couple of cool axes - he used a Squier Jazzmaster, a Squier Jaguar, an Epiphone ES-339, and an Epiphone Les Paul - he allowed himself to explore various moods and tunings.
As for the album's title: it is a pun on his place of residence Cockermouth. And yes, he has heard all the lame jokes about that already.
Power chords sit comfortably next to single notes. Playing by intuition is not without risks - a tune can fall apart quite easily - but Thomas has a firm grip on where he wants to go. In this case a bit louder than his usual shtick, but it worked out well. He might be working his way to thrash metal or something equally challenging.
