  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    All Power to the Bookshop, Steve's latest album, began as an Arts Council project about our relationship with books and reading. He explores how our memories, our hopes and dreams, our thoughts and emotional responses can be formed by the books we read and share. It’s an eclectic collection of songs that acts as propaganda for bookshops and reading.

    Wild and chaotic, capricious and frustrating, there are certain physical laws that govern secondhand bookshops and like gravity, they're pretty much nonnegotiable.

lyrics

I've lived in castles and I've been a
king
Chased rainbows to a pot of gold
I've slain green dragons for a silver
ring
And I am only 9 years old
I've lived on planets in the milky way
W here the atmosphere was cold
I left at night and returned by day
And I am only 9 years old
I did all this lying in my bed
A world of fun living in my head
And it all comes from the books I've
read
And I know that I Like books
I've sailed with pirates and swam
with sharks
I've boxed with a kangaroo I've
fought with lions and they left no
mark
And every 9 year old can too.
If you're shy and a little quiet
And don't think you are bold,
well you can make a dinosaur jump
with fright !
Although you're only 9 years old
Although you're only 9 years old
