about

The purest and most heartfelt love song I will ever write, despite its tenuous grasp of astronomy.

“A Big Enough Stick For The Moon”, won the Daily Mail's ‘Fighting Chance’ song competition and featured on TV show ‘The Apprentice’.

lyrics

I would bring you the moon on a stick,
If it wasnt twenty-one hundred and sixty miles wide,
Or if the average stick
Could actually support something that size.

I'll keep on trying but don't expect anything soon,
'Cause even if I messed with the DNA of a redwood,
It wouldn't be a big enough stick for the moon, stick for the moon,
You can roll it 'round and 'round your room.

I would bring you the moon on a stick,
If my head wasn't all over the place,
I would do all I can,
But how the hell am I to get into space?

I'll keep on trying but don't expect anything soon,
'Cause even if I messed with the DNA of a redwood,
It wouldn't be a big enough stick for the moon, stick for the moon,
You can roll it 'round and 'round your room.

(Instrumental)

I'll keep on trying and I'll bring you your satellite soon,
And yes, I should be bringing you Venus, Saturn or Neptune,
And everything that you deserve,
But theres no room on a stick only made for the moon.
If I can I'll knock 'em down so you can roll 'em 'round,
You can roll 'em 'round and 'round your room.
