lyrics
BIRTHDAY PRESENT (© DC Cardwell)
It’s your birthday, happy birthday,
I hope you have a good one.
When you came here on your first day
You felt the breath of someone.
When the sun shines down,
And the rain falls down,
You will grow up strong and high.
They are good for you,
They were made for you,
Like a present from the sky.
On your birthday please remember
All the good things that you have done.
On your worst day you’ll forget them
And you’ll think of all the bad ones.
When the sun shines down,
And the rain falls down,
You will grow up strong and high.
They are good for you,
They were made for you,
Like a present from the sky.
Tried to buy something to suit your taste
But didn’t quite know how.
Birthday past and birthday future,
Here’s your birthday present now.
It’s your birthday, happy birthday,
I hope you have a good one.
When you came here on your first day
You felt the breath of someone.
When the sun shines down,
And the rain falls down,
You will grow up strong and high.
They are good for you,
They were made for you,
Like a present from the sky.
On your birthday please remember
All the good things that you have done.
On your worst day you’ll forget them
And you’ll think of all the bad ones.
When the sun shines down,
And the rain falls down,
You will grow up strong and high.
They are good for you,
They were made for you,
Like a present from the sky.
Tried to buy something to suit your taste
But didn’t quite know how.
Birthday past and birthday future,
Here’s your birthday present now.

Marvellous Year
by Don McGlashanDon McGlashan, leader of the wonderful Mutton Birds, is a legend in New Zealand, and rightly so. As huge fans, we were thrilled beyond words when he played on the opening track of Marjorie's album!

Mistaken & Misplaced
by Pete CarrThis was my favourite album of 2012. And probably 2013 and 2014 too! The Beatlesque songs, singing and playing are human, memorable and I never tire of them.
go to album -
Whirligig!
by The Cherry BluestormsThe Cherry Bluestorms's latest release is beautiful, and... it has a song about Roy Wood, a Cardwell family fave! Don't miss its lovely coda, and also the melodic majesty of Seven League Boots.
