When You Come Back (2010). Nigel bought a banjo/guitar in December 2009, this was the first song he wrote using that instrument. Here it's recorded on his faithful Ibanez at the Bookbinders Open Mic session, 17th April 2011.

Ballad of the bedsit

Buritaca boogie

Cave

Dazzle day


Glue and feathers

Lafayette

Live in wonder

She knows where

Trespass

What do I do now?

When you come back

The wrong song 
ft. the legend that is Graham Quelch on harmonica

View near Gotham

When you come back

The sun illuminates the kitchen wall

your picture hangs at last in sunshine

you can map the time that's gone after all

when you know the shadows change as slow as mine
      
when you come back oh I know I will remain

the same old fool that held it all pent up   

and when you see me oh you will not touch my reins

for you the plain I roam is not yours enough
            
the snowdrops were the last to see you go

my lifeline cut I fell to dark conclusions

then I knew that you were right after all

but the brown leaves won't turn green however you push them

when you come back…

call it design or fate or none of the above 

she summers through my winter every day

and your picture still a jigsaw piece to touch

the shadows getting longer anyway

when you come back oh I know I will remain

the same old fool that held it all pent up   

and when you see me oh you will not touch my reins

for you the plain I roam is not  yours enough
