about
The album 'Changes' is Michael Doris's first solo album. It was written and recorded over several years, in different environments - at home - live - and in the studio, leading to an eclectic mix of songs. Each track has its own unique character, some are extremely personal others are more generic, however each song stands by itself - as you will hear the album has no 'filler' tracks

All of the songs are literally the creation of one person - in fact everything - even the cover art was done by Michael himself. No other humans were involved in the creation of this album - apart from his daughter Olivia who makes a guest appearance in the song Mr Hindsight.

Track Name: Words
These words are all I have
The wheel is set in motion
Its not the words you say that hurts
it is the silence

Its too late for us to talk
The scene is nearly over
its not the words you say that hurts
it is the silence

Gotta find a better way
break down your resistance
Gotta find a break through
Gotta find a way around your defence
Gotta find a way to make you see sense
With words
Track Name: Mr Hindsight
In the time I've got
I'll try to make amends
To make up to you
For all the things I've said
To repair the things
That couldn't be undone
Well tonight there's Mr Hindsight and he's shown me I was wrong

At the end of days
In darkness realise
all the things I could have lost
is hard to reconcile
what you do for me
and the children that we made
Well its time for Mr Hindsight to start showing me the way

Wanna make it better I don't want you to cry
Gonna make it better if you'll give me the chance
All I wanna do is wake up lying next to you
Well its time that Mr Hindsight starts showing me what to do

Well its time that Mr Hindsight starts showing me the way
Well its time that Mr Hindsight starts showing me the way
Well its time that Mr Hindsight starts showing me the way

Thank you Mr Hindsight for making everything right
You're the only one who can
fix my broken heart
Thank you Mr Hindsight for making everything right
You're the only one who can
fix my broken heart
Track Name: Ordinary
An ordinary guy
Who tried to live an ordinary life
An ordinary child
Who grew up in an ordinary world

I don't know where you came from
But in you I find my home
I don't know where I'm going to
But in you I find my road

An ordinary day
I wake up to the ordinary rain
and then I see her smile
Makes my extraordinary day

I don't know where you came from
But in you I find my home
I don't know where I'm going to
But in you I find my road

I don't know where you came from
I don't don't know where you're going
I don't know what you're doing
But I'll do it with you

cause in you I find my home
and I know where I'm going to
cause in you I've found my road
Track Name: The Ghosts
I can't wear the face I've been given
It belongs to someone else
I feel I am back at the beginning
Staying afloat but tired of swimming

She's my ghost
How could you let it go

Someday I'm gonna wake up baby
and feel all right inside
Someday I'm gonna wake up and feel good
when I realise
One day I'm going to feel OK
When you are not by my side
One day I'm gonna feel myself
When you have left my mind

Here I go
How could you could you let her go
Track Name: Olivia
What would you do when your heart has been broken
What do you say when all words have been spoken
Everyone needs someone to be happy
So we all love Olivia

What do you say when the word drives you crazy
What do you mean when your minds feeling hazy
Everyone needs someone to be happy
So we all love Olivia

She will take the sun and put it in your pocket
She will put the wind behind your back
She will take the moon and stars and rain
down like happiness
Don't take her away no don't take her away
Cause all we love Olivia
we love Olivia
we love Olivia
we love oli vee
O.L.I.V.I.A
cause we all love Olivia

doo doo doo etc

She will take the sun and put it in your pocket
She will put the wind behind your back
She will take the moon and stars and rain down like happiness
God don't take her away no don't take her away
Cause all we love Olivia

O.L.I.V.I.A
O.L.I.V.I.A

Track Name: Superstar
I think my mind is made up
To start a revolution
I think it's time I stood up
and made a contribution

You try to hide it
But you're a superstar
You know that's what you are
You try to fight it
You're fine just as you are
Cause you're a superstar

My mind is gone

I think its time that I shut up
and stopped my convolutions
I think its time I that I tried
To find a resolution

You try to hide it
But you're a superstar
You know that's what you are
You try to fight it
You're fine just as you are
Cause you're a superstar

My mind is gone
Track Name: Autograph
Funny how your mind works
Thats the thing that gets me
Funny you should say
the things I think all day
Are cool?

Funny how the worm turns
Things are getting better
Funny how you'd say say
Its goodnight yesterday today

You know what I want
You know what I need
Its your autograph
The one that I want
The one that I see
In your photograph
At the end of the day
Take my mood away
Shes my goodnight yesterday

Funny how you move me
Think I'm getting older
Funny how each day
Becomes the perfect day
With you

You know what I want
You know what I need
Its your autograph
The one that I want
The one that I see
In your photograph
At the end of the day
Take my mood away
Shes my goodnight yesterday

She's my autograph
She's my autograph
She's my autograph
Goodnight yesterday
Track Name: Second City
I'm never going to run and hide its not my thing
I've got nowhere to go tonight its time to ring
The car to get me out of here has just arrived at my door

Everything was easy not so long ago
and now I find I'm running scared, dont let it show
I wanna run and hide but now the time has come for my fusion

I don't want to run
I want to stay in the second city
I dont want to hide
I want to stay in the second city
I dont wanna die
I want to live in the second city
Some say its second to none

I'm never gonna give it up
Its not my thing
I've spent my whole life running,
not for anything,
The time has come for me to start facing up to my demons

I'm so tired of running
I'm dont want to hide
Its all too much for me to take
Track Name: Eye to Eye
For you and me there is
One thing we both agree
We don't see eye to eye
It starts on Friday night
we watch tv and fight
its time to say goodbye
We knew some time ago
That we should let it go
Cause things aren't going alright
I'll take the blame
if it makes you feel alright

Cause you want me to be
The perfect human being
You want me to be
the man inside your dreams
you want me to be
The man who'll start agreeing
but baby i can't
and baby I won't

You want to stand and talk
about the time you walked
You left me high and dry
You know I'm over that
I'll just remind you that
You didn't say goodbye
and now your standing there
Your mouth makes sounds as if
These things are in the past
Get your coat
Cause we're never going to last

Cause you want me to be
The perfect human being
You want me to be
the man inside your dreams
you want me to be
The man who'll start agreeing
but baby i can't
and baby I won't
Track Name: Glaswegian Lullaby
William grew up to the sound of the Drum
Chapel pipe band
Gallus at school
He kissed girls under parkas
For cigarettes

Dry your eyes
Glaswegian Lullaby
Well there's no time for sentimentality
Come here
Dry your eyes

Had friends with the wrong foot
But it only matters on Saturdays
Lost his night bus fare home
Took a traffic cone back
as a souvenir

Dry your eyes
Glaswegian Lullaby
Well there's no time for sentimentality
Come here
Dry your eyes

Fights in the street
With his fists and his feet
There's no way back home now
Running and running and running away
There's no way back home now
Cross Glasgow Green
to a safe house you've seen
There's no way back home
Back home

We're coming home
Fights in the street
With his fists and his feet
There's no way back home now
Running and running and running away
There's no way back home now
Cross Glasgow Green
to a safe house you've seen
There's no way back home
Back home
We're going home
Track Name: Devil Rising
See the Devil is arising
From the minds of evil men
Making war without a reason
Tells his media to fall in line

I said can you hear the Devil Rising?

See the Devil is arising
From the strings of my guitar
Making art a new comodity

City lights obscure the sky at night
Faceless corporations globalise
Just find comfort in the fact that your equal man
Whilst your country is destroyed

I said can you hear the Devil Rising?

Every thought that is made
With prejudice
and bigotry
is only homemade
by the Devil inside me
the Devil inside you

Could you feel alright?
Wanna make you feel alright?
Gonna to make you feel alright?
Want to make it right?
Track Name: The Changes
Take the sunlight from its sky
I don't want to see my face
I want to be a better man
Don't want to feel disgrace

Turn out the lights
Till I feel alright
I will feel better for the changes
Lost in confusion
Defined a solution
I'll just keep waiting for the change

I see better in the dark
Where I know you cannot see
What is going on inside
I'm still trying to find me

Turn out the lights
Till I feel alright
I will feel better for the changes
Lost in confusion
Defined a solution
I'll just keep waiting for the change

To come

One day its gonna feel better
I'll be thankful for the change
Some day its gonna get easier
I'll be thankful for the change

She takes my hand
She wipes my tears
She clears my mind
She breaks my fears

and I'm still waiting for the change
Track Name: Starting all over again
Listen to the sound of the clock
Always going round
Don't stop
We can start over again

Can you hear the sound of music?
Turning tables round
don't lose it
Play that record again

Time has come for me to go
but stay right there
I'll be back tomorrow

I will say goodbye
but I'm coming hoe to you
Time to say goodbye
But I'm coming home to you
Yes it’s you

Thoughts are going round I find
The revolution’s in my mind
Think it over again
Time has come for me to go
It’s been quite nice
Been quite a show
Hope I see you again

Time has come for me to go
but stay right there
I'll be back tomorrow
I will say goodbye
but I'm coming home to you

Time to say goodbye
But I'm coming home to you
Yes it’s you
