about

John Baker is a local Adelaide singer/songwriter who along with Gayle Buckby form 'The Baker Suite'.

Over the last few years, their sophisticated French café styled melodies have been difficult to ignore and a delight to take on board as an influence to making music.

Everything about 'Safety Net' has John Baker written all over it...the finger-picked guitar approach, the simple arrangement and the croony vocal delivery.

We have stopped playing this song live as it doesn't seem to fit alongside the other songs we play, but I am really happy with the way this song turned out for the album.

Its inclusion on Lines Are Drawn is a testament to the influence of one of Adelaide's finest singer/songwriters...Mr John Baker.

This one is for John.

lyrics

If you fall I will catch you
Nothing bad will happen to you
You will fall straight into my arms
I’ll keep you safe and free from harm

I will be your safety net
As you soar on life’s trapeze
There are ups and there are downs
For you and me

I will wipe away your tears
Reassure when things are unclear
I will hold you through the night
I won’t let go until there is light

I will be your safety net
As you soar on life’s trapeze
There are ups and there are downs
For you and me

Sometimes it gets so hard it’s blue
I’ll be there
Don’t you know
I will help you get through

If you fall I will catch you
Nothing bad will happen to you
You will fall straight into my arms
I’ll keep you safe and free from harm

I will be your safety net
As you soar on life’s trapeze
There are ups and there are downs
For you and me
