(This was a totally impromptu performance as politely requested by the super lovely DotDotNews team during our recent filming around my university GUAT – and it’s now featured as part of a short videography they made of me – Barrie VVeiss.
N.B. in truth I haven’t picked up a guitar or sung for over 18 months.. so I’m properly rusty.. way out of practice.. apologies.. my guitar was out of tune.. and I was even more out of tune.. ;>
I’ll do my darndest to ‘get back in shape’ and knock out a few more songs over the summer..
Featured in recent DotDotNews videography of Barrie VVeiss

This Town © 2003 Barrie VVeiss
Someone stop the merry-go-round, I’m, so tired, I wanna get off this ride,
Oh for so long I’ve been,
spinning around, spinning around..
I’ve been spinning around this town,
spinning around this town for so long
I don’t know my own name,
Everything seems to stay the same,
But I..
Found out in time, found out in time, found out in time,
I found out in time,
It’s not where you are, It’s how you are,
Not what you do, it’s why you do it,
Not what you’ve got.. it’s what you give,
Not about ‘Lifestyle’, It’s how you live.. It’s how you live.. It’s how you live..Watch the folks in my neighbourhood, yeah,
faces hidden from the light of day,
No real idea of, what’s really goin’, what’s really going..
and what’s really going on..
The ‘Divided and Conquered’, stumbling around in..
search of their own selves,
On the supermarket shelves..I think I..
— Barrie VVeiss
Found out in time, found out in time, found out in time, I found out in time,
It’s not where you are, It’s how you are, Not what you do, it’s why you do it,
Not what you’ve got.. it’s what you give,
Not about ‘Lifestyle’, It’s how you live.. It’s how you live.. It’s how you live..
