Suzy Won’t See Me Who is your friend that is coming round for tea? I like you so much why didn’t you invite me? Who is that person you’ve been calling on your phone I need so you so much why didn’t you call me at home Then one day when we are so old I’ll think about what once I was told You know that girl is worth more than gold Then I’ll sit back and on to you, I will hold When will you have little time for me? I want you so bad I hope that you really want me Then one day when we are so old I’ll think about what once I was told You know that girl is worth more than gold Then I’ll sit back and on to you, I will hold Then one day when we are so old You’ll think about what once you were told You know that boy is worth more than gold Then you’ll sit back and on to me, you will hold

Big Guns I fell too far and smashed all my feelings If I don’t get clever There’s nothing for me A life ordinary you see A man he can’t question unless he’s free If he don’t get clever One day he may see a life ordinary A life ordinary for me We broke down the walls, shot down their souls, tell me now what did they say Oh son, hold on, I’m coming (for you) Oh man you’re making me fall down (for you) I fell too far and smashed my feelings If I don’t get shelter There’s nothing for me A life ordinary, a life ordinary for me We broke down the walls, shot down their souls, tell me now what did they say Oh son, hold on, I’m coming (for you) Oh man you’re making me fall down (for you) (You want it, you got it, you only make it when they take it all) (You want it, you got it, you only make it when they take it all)

Over You Oh baby what have you done? You been around and had your fun These days they will come and they will go It’s like knowing when the wind will blow What you gonna do when you can’t get through And it’s all over the news that I’m over you Where you gonna be when you finally see And it’s all over the news that I’m over you Oh baby where did you go? You never find yourself on your own If you’re passing say hello Otherwise I’ll just know Chorus What you gonna do when you can’t get through And it’s all over the news that I’m over you Where you gonna be when you finally see And it’s all over the news that I’m over you Chorus What you gonna do when you can’t get through And it’s all over the news that I’m over you Where you gonna be when you finally see and it’s all over the news that I’m over you

Nothing On Me All the jesters and clowns with their tears and their frowns Have nothing on me tonight All the creatures that crawl, all the failures that fall Have nothing on me tonight Is anybody going to stop this thing? Is anybody going to stop this thing? When the dance is complete when my maker I meet There’s something for me tonight With the thoughts in my mind when we’ve floored all mankind There’s something for me tonight Chorus Is anybody going to stop this thing? Is anybody going to stop this thing? All the jesters and clowns with their tears and their frowns Have nothing on me tonight All the creatures that crawl, all the failures that fall Have nothing on me tonight All the jesters and clowns with their tears and their frowns Have nothing on me tonight All the creatures that crawl, all the failures that fall Have nothing on me tonight

about

Chris Gray’s debut album, ‘Diamonds In Your Tree’ was released April 6th, 2015 in CD Digipak & Digital to excellent reviews.

Chris creates heartfelt folk melodies with dynamic Britpop overtones and engaging lyrics, and in the past has been compared to the likes of Noel Gallagher, Elliott Smith, John Power, James Taylor and The Beatles. Chris’ influences range from Fleetwood Mac to Ray Lamontagne, Otis Redding to The La’s.

“Diamonds In Your Tree has an ethereal, dreamy ambiance across the 11 tracks. It really is quite addictive and would be almost impossible to compare it. Pretty much out there on its own in style, with oodles of class on top.” More of Simon Redley’s 4 star review in May/June 2015 – Maverick

An excerpt from the Faeta review of Chris’s new album Diamonds In Your Tree -”Chris Gray has clearly got some chops. On the evidence of this first album, he’s got some damned fine songs as well…if you want to wrap your ears around some quality songwriting that will lift your heart as well as your eyebrows, you could do far worse than seek out this album.” – Nick Churchill

“…a smart debut album…great to stick on and ease away the day’s ups and downs…an essential.” MH – Full Review – Rock Society

“From the opening track from the debut album, Diamonds In Your Tree, from Isle of Man singer-songwriter Chris Gray, his distinct blend of contemporary indie (think Ocean Colour Scene or The Las) and acoustic pop (in the manner of Elliott Smith) makes an indelible impression on the listener. Not least because he’s clever enough to add just a soupcon of Beatles and Donovan flavours to create an attractive recipe.” More from - Steve Caseman – R2

“An assured and enjoyable debut with a couple of songs that are crying out for airplay, especially ‘Suzy Won’t See Me’, a hit if ever there was one.” J. Ritchie – GRTR
