Lyrics: HERE WITH ME
<p>Lyrics and Music Copyright © 2019; John P Morgan</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Verse 1</strong></p>
<p>Go paint your finger nails and put up your hair </p>
<p>Slip on that dress you’ve been dying to wear </p>
<p>There’s a new little place on the avenue </p>
<p>I’ll call ahead and book a table for two </p>
<p>The taxi’s outside now and I’m ready to go </p>
<p>I’ll leave on a light as I put on my coat </p>
<p>We pull out the driveway and head down the road </p>
<p>I reach for you’re had but your on your phone </p>
<p>To all of your friends who are out on the town </p>
<p>Drinking they’re fill and running around </p>
<p>Though there’s no other place that I want to be </p>
<p>I just wish you weren’t there with them and you were here with me </p>
<p><br><strong>Verse 2 </strong></p>
<p>Now, all day long I’ll be slaving away </p>
<p>In the cold and the dirt, in the wind and the rain </p>
<p>And all that I’m looking for when I get home </p>
<p>Is for you to be there to keep me warm </p>
<p>And maybe there’s not a lot of words you can say </p>
<p>That’ll take all my trouble’s and worries away </p>
<p>No part of me is broken that cannot be fixed </p>
<p>By the touch of your hand or a kiss of your lips </p>
<p>Your telephone rings and it captures your stare </p>
<p>I try to connect but there’s nobody there </p>
<p>And then in an instant it becomes to see </p>
<p>Why I feel so alone when your here with me </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Verse 3 </strong></p>
<p>Another night passes by and not a word has been spoken </p>
<p>And the only time that the silence is broken </p>
<p>Is when that sound comes to say you message arrived </p>
<p>A little bit of me goes dying inside </p>
<p>Cause, I don’t want to spend my whole life in this way </p>
<p>Just sitting round trying to think of something to say </p>
<p>All I want to do is talk to you girl </p>
<p>I just want to be a part of your word</p>

<p>John said: “Since 1954, the club has been a hotbed of emerging talent and a leading light in excellent musicianship and live music </p>
<p>“It plays host to performers of real talent who write and perform their own material. </p>
<p>“Previous musicians that have played the Troubadour stage include Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Paul Simon and Adele, to name a few.” </p>
<p>The London show will kick off a busy few weeks for the Port man, who has earned a glowing reputation in the past few years since hitting the road as a solo artist following stints in bands. John has been confirmed to play: Room in Largs on Friday 8 August — free entry; Glasgow’s Pivo Pivo on Tuesday 12 — tickets £5; Hark in the Park, Gourock, on Sunday 24; Krav Island, Balmaha, Loch Lomond, on Saturday 30 and Sunday 31. </p>

Anniversary show for top performer
<p><em>Originally posted in the Greenock Telegraph: 6 Dec 2012</em></p>
<p>A TOP local singer songwriter has been hand picked to star in a 10th anniversary showcase of Scotland's best unsigned acts. </p>
<p>John Morgan, 31, from Port Glasgow, will play at Acoustic Affairs in Glasgow on Saturday night in the stunning surrounds of the City Hall. The singer also plays acoustic guitar and describes his brand of music as a blend of folk and pop but with a modern twist. </p>
<p>He cites Bob Dylan as one of his major musical influences. </p>
<p>John, who works as a painter and decorator in his day job, celebrated his birthday yesterday and says the chance to play the event in Glasgow was a nice early present. </p>
<p>He said: "It was my birthday this week so I'm very pleased to be picked. It is a special night showcasing some of the best singers and songwriters in a really nice venue. I've played for the organisers before in the same venue and they contacted me again for this show." </p>
<p>"I've always been writing songs and been in bands but in the last year I have gone out on my own. My first gig was in December last year at The Beatclub at Cafe Continental in Gourock." </p>
<p>"Hopefully this event in Glasgow is the start of things to come." </p>
<p>John will be recording an album and release it later in 2013.</p>
