Watching the street
Sit and watch the neighbours Through the window watching each others stars. Sit and watch the neighbours Spying cruelly Watching through their bars. Sit and watch the neighbours Living slowly Washing all their cars. Sit and watch the neighbours Gossip friendly Turn their backs and slag each other off For they are not the loving kind. Listen to the the streets steps talking To each other, In their blackened yards. Old birds and garden dwellers, Telling stories. Spinning thinning yarns. All the crazy lying, Stories growing Spreading to afar. Cannot find a reason Why miserable people, Turn their backs and slag each other off, For they are not the loving kind. |

Finance
Watch me go into the bank over yonder
Watch me see the teller there Let me talk to him whilst I am browsing Is he the money seller man of strange wonder ‘Can I buy some money?’ ‘With what are you going to buy’ ‘The money that you will give me Is the money that I will try’ So he gave me some money to purchase the goods Buy some money from the branch for a ranch And he said that I really should return there Come see him in one month for some lunch Returned did I in a short while To see the man who was nice But they said that he no longer worked there And they refused my hard earned cup of rice Which was all that I had for my money It was all I could show in the end They said that my house looked just stunning They said that they really shouldn’t lend So they stole all my money and possessions They took away my self respect They threw away all hope of our future They conned, stole and delivered my end. |
No Tears
No Tears
When you came round
A new person you have found
I was All on my own
Just waiting and prone
To the nice things you say
When you come round this way
All sweet and all pure
I am totally really sure.
Its time you are gone
When I see your none
Of the things I first thought
When Our time was so short
Just together round here
I lost all my fear
No fright and no tears………..

Tonight im too tired
Tonight I’m too Tired
When sleep takes its toll
And I’m feeling rather older
Than usual today
Or should I say today.
I feel like my bones are
Feeling the strain
It’s not really pain
But just a dull heated
Bake, a low canceling
Ache, throbbing in the everlasting
Times of beer, lager
And lemon and limes,
Easy going, ever ready,
Battery social times.
I’m staring to stay awake
Bowling over all
The frozen shakes
And driving my jelly lakes
In a belly of pizza,
Oh Lisa, oh golly gosh,
Sit down naked
Nude and bare bodied,
Bottom shape, eyes they gape
I adore complexion coloured.
Bed is now available,
No time for mind inevitable,
Time to sleep away fatigue
As I have put
To many questions
to a simple tired
Body, and too many tasks
I asked of ,
A simple tired mind.

New Job
New Job in the Morning AND WORK
New job on the morn
After a long gratuitous yawn
Shower, teeth, wash aswell
Scrub, tea, brek, tea, news
Emails, more, more tea and thoughts
Glance at the view, thoughts, tea
News, sit, flick, pick up the keys.

Let it be mkII
We here for a death that’s no ones fault
Memories of holidays and toys
Inside a cold and empty vault
Except the father and his boys
Everyone is cold and not at home
Except them, their, there alone
Troubled waters flowing yesterday
Your poem spoke of ordered time and shame
No its not, really not ok
Incomprehensible thoughts of blame
Selfish feelings here are hard to tame
They tell us who we are and why we came
Why did you leave without telling us just ‘why?’
You didn’t wish to stay no more let time go by
There is no meaning to the consolation prize
If your not around how can you see us cry.

Life Changing
Life Changing
Gave up smoking, This stopped most Of the drinking too, Thought that life Would change, Thought I wouldn't Feel so blue. There are perceptible Changes and things That differ now I have begun to remember stuff, Smells and feelings But more rows, Thus the atmosphere And light... Perfumes smelling Bright, lights to Past concessions, Taste of food & Short confessions a Personal lingering youth And pain of broken tooth Hot shame and strange stains Belief, spaceman, astronaut Intelligent rational thought, I was a star, thought I'd have a car, Bigger house Certainly not... Living hand to mouth I gave up smoking. |
18th Reality
18th Reality
Well 18 at last Tom, Tom
What are you going to do
Drink, shout and be merry
Then dance the whole night through
I think though rather, if you will
It may go a bit like this….
A few pints you may spill
And you’ll get very pissed
Swaying, rocking in the bar
With your trousers at your feet
We hope you show some self-control
When your strippers on her knees
It’s all down hill from here my son
Now you’ve become a man
Legal drinks and voting slips
And drive a plumbers van.
We hope you have a lovely day
Happy Birthday to you
Tomorrow we know you will pay
When howling at the loo.

Retrospective and Sentimental
Retrospective and Sentimental
I followed for a while and let my head retain, some of the good things, things I cant explain,
It became so easy, let the love remain, I had a story to unfold.
I listened to the people who had helped me out, but they didn’t really want to admit,
They got me out of holes I couldn’t climb, I still couldn’t really see it.
I felt so little and I felt so small I have to admit I couldn’t feel at all,
Numb form my toes to the top of my head, you should have seen me then I felt so dead.
Felt like a child but I felt so old nicely informed that I should keep it cold
‘Hey weve all had this flu, its been going round, have some soup, it wont keep you bound.’
Nobody admit…nobody said…you been a naughty little boy, you’ll ruin your head,
In not so many words I think that Id been told, Id have to grow up, Id have to get old.
Did I ever listen, did I fuck, its only them’ll get old with luck, there Isn’t any point in
Asking where or why, just look at all your lives.

Talking About
Well what are we talking about
Just want to scream and shout
Your only a wish away
So I’m coming to you today
You take me forever now
Forever the world goes round
Its all gonna go my way
Your only a day away
Yeah were both kind of falling in
A frightening loving spin
Were racing together with
All of our lives to live
Well that’s all that I want to say
Its all that I wanted to do
Was just to say that I love you
I love you…
Just want to scream and shout
Your only a wish away
So I’m coming to you today
You take me forever now
Forever the world goes round
Its all gonna go my way
Your only a day away
Yeah were both kind of falling in
A frightening loving spin
Were racing together with
All of our lives to live
Well that’s all that I want to say
Its all that I wanted to do
Was just to say that I love you
I love you…
