    "Life As A Lover" is my new album, produced by JUNO nominee Howie Beck. It's a collection of songs about relationships, family and living life fully. The CD comes in a lovely gatefold card case, with artwork and design by Cheryl Cheung and photography by Emma-Lee. Includes a lyric booklet. The design was achieved by getting ink prints of my hands and manipulating them.

lyrics

It’s been a long life
now I’m lying in a courtyard
takin’ in the tank-top autumn day
they sip Americanos, but my water’s in my bowl
and that’s all I need anyway

“Oh Alli,” they said, “life is too complex
oh Alli,” they said, “it’s just junk, it’s cheques, accounts
it’s labour to our lives
can we simplify?
but oh Alli, we’re glad you’re still alive”

Two weeks ago
they carried me down the staircase
“Boys, it’s been a fine fourteen years
but if I make it to the courtyard
we’ve got to celebrate
and play some cribbage while we’re here”

“Oh Alli,” they said, “life is too complex
oh Alli, they’re giving guns away in Texas banks
for every new account
the world is ending now
but oh Alli, we’re glad you’re still around”

“Oh Alli”, they said, “sha la la la la ...
oh Alli”, they said, “ba ba ba ba ba ...
lai lai lai lai lai ...
we’d like to simplify
oh Alli, it’s good to be alive”
