about

Written by John McColm

Recorded LIVE at The Park Tavern in Macclesfield on Friday 6th Feb 2015 with a select group of very special people who have shown me support and enriched my life and musical experience in so many ways.

Special thanks to Howard Beaumont for his intelligence and ideas and for making me do it!

lyrics

I don't need Pride if it's going to mean a big fall
I don't need faith if it's based upon a false idol
I don't need you to come on twisting my brain
with the games that you play - I'm not playing games with you
pull yourself through

I don't need friends if they're only for fairweather
I don't need a mate if it means too much time togeher
and I don't need you to come on twisting my brain
with your tears and your pain - I can't take the pain for you
pull yourself through

But I could handle love - all through the night
a little bit of love makes everything alright
and baby it's alright

I don't need a cause if it's one I don't believe in
I don't need laws, I don't intend to be a victim
and I don't need you to come on twisting my brain
with your fears and your shame - I'm not ashamed of you
honey pull yourself through

But I could handle love - all through the night
a little bit of love makes everything alright
and baby it's alright

I'll take time if it's time we're both agreed on
and I'll take peace and quiet sitting in a warm sun
I'll even take love if its not twisting your brain
with the games that you play - I'm not playing games with you
pull yourself through

and I'll take love if its not twisting your brain
with the tears and the pain - I can take the pain for you
pull yourself through

and I could handle love if its not twisting your brain
with the fears and the shame - I'm not ashamed of you
you got to pull your - you better pull your

You got to pull yourself through

about

John McColm Macclesfield, UK

John is an independant musician from the UK. Apprenticed in 2000 for three years as a street musician, he now plays a set born from the need to play 'songs people know' whilst remaining true to his own musical instincts. Known in Macclesfield and Aschaffenburg', his music holds the listener in a spell primarily based on rhythm but ultimately cast by the intensity of the vocal performance. ... more
