Mile High Music home of the music you want to hear...
Tracks are £0.59 each or else download the whole album for a bargain £5.00 for all 12 tracks!
"Shine & Rise is an enjoyable, varied and sometimes crazily joyous collection that sees Christy pillaging from the past and reinventing it in his own image, while transporting the listener back to the 60s, 70s and beyond.
For this reviewer, one of the highlights of the set is 'Try For The Sun aka Surf Tune'; it kicks off with crazy castanets and the sort of spaghetti western melody that usually accompanies Lee Van Cleef emerging from the saloon to shoot 'em up on Main Street, and explodes into a punked-up Beach Boys stomp - a delight!"
- Rock'n'Reel magazine's Diane Mason.

released 03 November 2009
Composed*, arranged, produced & performed* by Christy.
The album Shine & Rise - which could quite easily also be called Hodge Podge Stew - has finally been finished and mastered. The track listing which includes 12 songs collected together from latter day Zen tracks, a few Mandrakes tunes and some solo recordings has now confirmed and includes the sweeping La Fille Francaise complete with full orchestration, uptempo rock of Déjà Vu, and death-pop of Crazy Lady, along with a multitude of others which are sure to swirl through your brain like an acid drenched carousel in the land of Oz.
*Full credits of additional players, track 11 writing credits/publishers, can be found on each songs individual credits. Special thanks to all the artists who feature on the tracks here. I have made an effort on every song to credit everyone correctly.

LA FILLE FRANCAISE
Music & Lyrics by Christy
She walked by
The sunlight streaming
And we talked for hours lost like lovers do
Soft furnishings
And shuttered mornings
Oh we hid from days and friends there that we knew
And it felt so good as she touched my brain
But all her French friends laughed as i said their names
Cause i was too poor to play their game
So i quickly slipped from view
They sipped red wine
'Tween their frequent name dropping
We lunched at Juan-les-Pines
And took drinks at Nice Fleur Marché
They talked and they yawned
About their frequent vacations
And they smiled when I said
I'd never left the European stage
But it felt so good as she touched my brain
But all her French friends laughed as i said their names
Cause i wasn't there to be their friend
I was there just to entertain
Topless girls
And cold salt showers
From the English prom we mocked the grey UK
Sipped Martini's
After nightly meals
Taken in umbrella'd alleys
That stank of dog night day
But it felt so good as she touched my brain
But all her French friends laughed as i said their names
Cause i was too poor to play their game
So i quickly slipped from view
Yeah it felt so good as she called my name
But all her French friends laughed when i said their names
Cause i wasn't there to be their friend
I was there just to entertain
Yeah it felt so good as she touched my brain
But all her French friends laughed as i said their names
Cause i was too poor to play their games
So i quickly slipped from view - Track Name: Too Much Information

TOO MUCH INFORMATION
Music & Lyrics by Christy
Called me on the phone just the otherday
Said she'd been a busy girl since she went away
Been walkin' the town with many other guys
But she wants me now 'cause they've all told her lies
I said it's too much baby
Too Much Infomation
In My Eyes
Asked me if I'd meet her at the street cafe
Tears filled her eyes as she had her say
Didn't want to hurt anyone but she couldn't stay
Then she went and told me how she worked, rested and played
I said oh baby it's too much
Too Much Information
In My Eyes
Called me on the phone just the otherday
Said she'd been a busy girl since she went away
Been runnin' around with many other guys
But she wants me now 'cause they've all told her lies
I said oh baby it's too much
Too Much Information
In My Eyes
Bein' truthful, I was pretty glad you left anyway... - Track Name: Crazy Lady Blues

CRAZY LADY BLUES
Music & Lyrics by Christy
Crazy lady has got big hair
Everybody's gonna stop and stare at her
In the morning sun
She's sleepin' out
But she ain't got the blues
Everybody's got alot to lose
Except her
In The morning sun
And that's why, I'll try
And ask no reasons why
Why it's so hard
Hard to
To choose
Everybody's on the move
Keepin' time, but never hit the groove
We're just slaves
To the moon & sun
Find your break, you'll want to be a star
Take your plane, but you won't get too far
And you'll crash
When the morning comes
And that's why, I try
And ask no reasons why
Why it's so hard
Hard to
To Lose
Count the days like they can't come too soon
But when they're gone, you sing another tune
About loss
To the heartless sun
See the storm and you will run and hide
One day soon you're gonna be locked inside
On your own
No more warming sun
And that's why, I try
And ask no reasons why
Why it's so hard
Hard to
To Try
Why it's so hard
Hard to

WHO'LL LOVE ME NOW
Music & Lyrics by Christy
After everything is said and done
You know that you're the only one
Oh no, who'll love me now
You never looked me in the eye
You never gave the reasons why
Oh no, who'll love me now
Who'll Love Me
Who'll Love Me
Who'll Love Me Now?
Get's me thinkin' when I'm on the road
Is it really worth me heading home
On no, who'll be there now
I know you live so far away
And out of sight and mind is what they say
But oh no, who'll be there now
Who'll Love Me
Who'll Love Me
Who'll Love Me Now?
I often wonder 'bout the things you do
I have to shake myself to believe it's true
Oh no, where are you now
Some days the whole world seems black
When I realise you're not coming back
Oh no, where are you now
Who'll Love Me
Who'll Love Me
Who'll Love Me Now?

TRY FOR THE SUN aka SURF TUNE
Music & Lyrics by Christy
I don't know what you've been doing
I've been doing all that I can
You're runnin' round over town
You're sayin' that I ain't quite a man
But I don't think you know what I've done
And that's why I try for the sun
Yeah, i try for the sun
Try for the sun
Minos trims the heroes wings
And Helios he shortens our ride
And if i had to be like you
Well inside i'd feel like I died
Can't you see that your course has run
But my life was shot from a gun
So I try for the sun
Try for the sun
I live for the sun
Aim for the sun - Track Name: Rescue Me Rescue You

RESCUE ME RESCUE YOU
Music & Lyrics by Christy
An image stands before me
She doesn't yell adore me or else i'll leave
She brings the summer for me
And doesn't spin the web that others weave
She just says ooo baby rescue me
You are my salvation can't you see
That I want you
Hope you want me too
Coloured glass in the window
I love the rainbow it throws on you pale skin
Isn't this a good time
Juniper & red wine and here are you
So i said ooo baby rescue me
You are my salvation can't you see
Ooo and baby i'll rescue you
If you'll stand by me I'll stand by you
Cause I want you
Hope you want me too
No situation
No situation will phase her
No complication
No aggrevation felt with her
An English town in the morning
A sunny day is dawning and there are you
Never does she warn me
Never does she scorn me like others do
So i said ooo baby rescue me
You are my salvation can't you see
Ooo and baby i'll rescue you
If you'll stand by me I'll stand by you
Cause I want you
Hope you want me too - Track Name: Déjà Vu

DEJA VU
Music & Lyrics by Christy
I thought I'd heard it all before
But still I let you in again
It's like a knocking at the door
But when I answer there's only rain
No matter what you do
You'll only let me down again
No matter what you say
You'll only let me down again
My friend
You told me once, you told them more
You sleep with strangers with no remorse
You let me go then return again
You drink with strangers not with friends
No matter what you do
You'll only let me down again
No matter what you say
You'll only let me down again
My friend - Track Name: About You

ABOUT YOU
Music & Lyrics by Christy
Feelin' low down now
About what has happened
Not understanding, what went wrong with you
It didn't help me when I did
But I found the truth
About You Now
It didn't help me when I did
But I found the truth
About You
Know I must let go
And never look back on
Those who have fallen won't grieve here for you
It didn't help me when I did
But I found the truth
About You Now
It didn't help me when I did
But I found the truth
About You
It's wrong... - Track Name: Devil Take Me Down

DEVIL TAKE ME DOWN
Music & Lyrics by Christy
I'm walkin' down Oxford Street
I just got off the tube
I came down here to find myself
I had nothing to lose
I tried so hard to make a friend
But didn't know what to say
I spoke to a man
He laughed at me
And then just walked away
The devil'll take me down
If I don't get some help here right away
I walked into a pub on Soho
I thought I needed a drink
Some woman whispered in my ear
She asked me how to think
I spun round to look at her
But there was no one there
Then I woke up in the alleyway
With vomit in my hair
The devil'll take me down
If I don't get some help here right away
So I walked out east to find St Pauls
I thought I needed a church
But a thousand voices echoed there
And only made me worse
So I founf myself a reverend
And asked him what he taught
He told me God's inside of me
I told him that's what I thought
The devil'll take me down
If I don't get some help here right away
Well I tried to keep a clean nose
But found it had turned numb
Now I make my money performing tricks
For tourists like a circus bum
The moral of this twisted tale
Is steer clear of wrong
Listen to what your mother says
And never sing this song
The devil'll take me down
If I don't get some help here right away
The devil'll take us down
If we don't get some help here right away - Track Name: Table For One

TABLE FOR ONE
Music & Lyrics by Christy
I sit here all the time
With just you on my mind
But must it be always and only
My table for one
There's no one knocking at my door
The phone's silent on the floor
Only two feet under my table
My table for one
Trackless times and restless rhymes
And questions in my mind
Of a distant crime
One that forever must go unsolved
So come on now
Come run put your arms around
And claim me from this lost and found
Don't let me rest lonely on my
My table for one
So don't let me eat lonely at my
My table for one
No don't let me rest lonely on my
My table for one - Track Name: Help

BUSY
Music & Lyrics by Christy
I've gotta get busy
Like a bumble bee busy
Like a jumpin' flea busy
I gotta get busy
I gotta get busy
Like a bumble bee busy
Like a jumpin' flea busy
I gotta get busy
Get busy
Well, I gotta get busy
Monkey in a tree busy
Caterpillar leaf busy
I gotta get busy
I gotta get busy
Wind in the weeds busy
Dancing like a tree busy
I gotta get busy
Get busy
I love a man
Though he doesn't understand
How you're doing all you can
When you're playing in a band
Says he needs to know you
Then kiss and disown you
Then he picks your bones
It kinda motivates your soul
Yes it does!
So I gotta get busy
Gotta get busy
I gotta get busy
Monkey in a tree busy
Gotta get busy
Wind in the weeds busy
Dancing like a tree busy
I gotta get busy
Get busy
Let's get busy
So I gotta get busy
Gotta get busy
I gotta get busy
Everybody get busy
I gotta get busy
Gotta get busy
I gotta get busy
Everybody get busy
