The Fireflies catalogue. Press the play button to stream a song directly from this website.

Most of the songs (but not all) are Pastiches of songs from the other realm i.e. by ELO (Flying Saucer) or 10cc (2x4) or The Move (The Sidestep) or Godley&Creme (Mike&Gordy).

See if you can spot the “Real songs”. Some are easier than others. We love the music from that realm. It's amazing how closely our paths have gone almost in parallel.

The Fireflies

The Sidestep

01 Turn the Garden Over

A playful Fireflies collision of growing grass, flowers in the rain and turning the garden upside down.

A new Fireflies number.

2x4

03 Linda

A romantic name game with a distinctly Fireflies sense of mischief.

04 Roll Credits

A cinematic love song with the credits rolling long after the story should have ended.

An extended three-part Fireflies excursion — a full 12 minutes 56 seconds of musical wandering through Montreux.

06 London Shuffle

A trip through London with the Fireflies rhythm section keeping things moving.

07 Existence Is a Bouillabaisse

A rather complicated look at existence, served with a generous helping of nonsense.

09 Electric Messiah on a Budget Tour

Rock-star salvation on economy fares: the holy tour bus is held together with gaffer tape, optimism and one suspicious extension lead.

27 That Pesky Dean

A Fireflies take on a dean who just won’t leave things alone.

Flying Saucer

09 Out of My Head

A Fireflies journey into the problem of not being able to get a tune out of your head.

A seasonal Fireflies number with plenty of room for melody and atmosphere.

28 Cipher on the Run

A mysterious musical chase, with a cipher that refuses to sit still.

The Fireflies

11 Wild West Hero

A boyhood dream of riding the range, making friends with the Indians and becoming the hero of the Wild West.

12 Worth It All

Melodic Fireflies pop with a familiar sense of grand ambition.

13 Paradise

A melodic escape to somewhere that may or may not exist.

14 Stuck on the Phone

A modern little frustration turned into a Fireflies song: when the phone becomes impossible to escape.

15 Sweet Talkin Builder

A smooth-talking builder who has an answer for everything.

16 The Last Bus to Nowhere

A slightly surreal journey on a bus whose destination is anybody’s guess.

17 Subdivision Saturday

A suburban Saturday observed with a knowing Fireflies wink.

18 Good Morning Warden

A jaunty Fireflies take on authority and the morning call.

19 Things We Do for Work

A workplace twist on the things we put up with to get through the working week.

20 From Linwood to Buenos Aires

A tango-flavoured journey that takes a very long way from Linwood.

21 I've Got a Plan

A new Fireflies number built around the reassuring — and potentially dangerous — confidence of having a plan.

22 Radio in the Rain

A radio, a rainy day and a song that refuses to stay still.

23 Mr Sunshine

A little sunshine with a suspiciously familiar grin — because even the brightest day deserves a Fireflies-sized wink.

A bright, direct Fireflies number with a reassuring title.

30 Last Train

All aboard for one more Fireflies journey before the night is through.
