I stagger when I walk And I spit when I talk. But my eloquence Is no recompense For what I put you through. Sure you got money; I know you didn’t want it But I flaunt it Anyway. I miss your cheeky face Every day of my life. Love severed Impossible to To replace. Not a snow man, I don’t melt away. Been dealt duff hands before But sure I can recover And discover a new reality.
You. You Gave me hope That what I saw was true; But that, That was pure fantasy. No melody But discord. And you know me. Just wanted to stay true To you I, I know you're with another. You. You’ve told me many times before I wish I didn’t care so much But somehow I do First love, Last love. Am I looking for crutch To buy Or will I get by?
Gotta write, Gotta write Or I did shite today. Have to say, Have to say That don’t sit easy with me. And I pray, And I pray For inspiration. It don’t come, It don’t come Am I just dumb? Doesn’t happen that way. Concentrate, Concentrate; Try to relate. I must ask, I must ask Were you born that way?
Tied to the mast He heard their call; Rapturous voices Beckoned him to fall. They cast a spell on him; “untie me, untie me” But they wouldn’t at all. Told not to By him. Are myths and legends true? Does it matter? Liked Homer, Aristophanes And Nietzsche too. Foundations of western culture; A vulture for knowledge. So I can and I will Pick bones Out of you.
Take a deep breath. Hold my hand. We go through this together On my command. When the tether Of life breaks We only have each other. Wedding vows trashed, Sworn before a fictitious god. We can do this, We can make a stand. Are you ready? Then steady yourself So the bout Begins. We will take the fuckers out.
How does it feel? I have no reputation. The music seems unreal, Defies my expectation. Let's keep this real. Been a long time Since I felt your skin Next to me; But trust me Darling I can't forget, And of course I regret What happened between us. I have a different focus now, You have too; But you are always in my lens, Does not cleans The charm of you. Wish it did, But it don’t And so I steal Another day.
We kiss, we touch Am I too much? Did I come on too strong? Love means more to me Than I could ever say, But I still like to play. Sorry, I was wrong; Misfired reasoning, Thoughts gone astray. Forgive my indiscretion; Caught in the moment I guess, where I belong. Take me up, Take me higher. You have the quiet power To inspire. Yes, I need tighter rhymes Yes, I need better rhythm. There is nothing given here. Don’t be kind, I am not blind, Just can't seem to see; But I will find A way To climb the tower Of my expectation I have to believe that much.
It was the wedding day Of Peleus and Thetis. All gods invited, But Eris was turned away. Her discord was not wanted And granted, she grew angry And tossed a golden apple Into the party. Addressed “To fairest goddess.” Three came forward To lay claim, Hera, Athena and Aphrodite And mighty Zeus, Asked to mediate, Declined politely With some lame excuse. He told winged Hermes To take the three To the shepherd prince of Troy, Paris; On his immediate instruction. Each goddess promised many things and more If he chose them. But Aphrodite offered Helen. And after her abduction so began the Trojan war.
Don’t give me shit, It just don’t fit. I ride my BMW Down the street Where the elite live. No one looks at me. I don’t rob liquor stores. Money bores me; You need it of course, But you are too young and clever And what ever happens I accept as finality. I was thinking the same thing. Ding Ding, Enter the ring once more First punch means something. You cant forget Once you heard it. The turgid repetition Is complete, But has no harmony And the spell on me Cannot defy gravity. I wish it would, An angel without wings To fly, Just mere mortal And brings Passions of desire. The fire of man. I have the resting heart beat Of a dolphin or whale So I am drawn to sea.
Some people might get some pleasure, You're not one, I am sure. On my radio I can put on a show. You were my anchor, Now I am all at sea. Pen to page I don’t know where this leads; It's unformed. Like me. But you get what you see. Made many mistakes But never deceived. I love you too much, Now I can't touch.
Say something outrageous. Come on you can do it! But the fluidity of speech Evades me. I was once courageous, But the battle lines Reach. I have no idea Where I am going with this? I extemporise, Don’t patronise me. It’s a shocker of a story Just let me be.
I mean no harm, But the charm Of me Has gone. Now I am on the run; Escaping what I don’t know. I want to show you The deliberation Of my expectation. I did love you so, Still do. Bring me back from the precipice. Why can't I get a kiss From you? That means something. Your lips are sealed, There's the reveal. You have gone for another. I don’t care about that, But you have bliss In your pocket, And you wear it well. But remember Life is just a spell.
You do not hold back. I know this is true. I said 'I love you' back on you. The sirens scream for an arrest; I detest, that’s an early warning. The sun is dawning. Will I pull through? I must try Or die. You were my magic vixen; A fighter through and through. Ready to save, And be brave good.
There is nothing I can do To forsake The truth of you; Always honest, And I promised I would be good too. I Let you down; The frown on you face Told me all I needed to know. Your look can kill. I didn’t mind the show, Just remember I love you so.
They want me to fit in, So I scratch the walls 'Till my nails bleed. What I need Is to get them off my tail. I can't bail, Never shirk a fight; But the cold light Of my destiny Grows pail. How can such a square peg Fit in to reality? That’s a matter for me To decide. I confide this to you, As you are true. The ship has sailed But I still love you
I would live, die, or kill for you. These feelings are true. Does that make me a monster? I don’t think so. You, and you alone I will take orders from. This is not subservience, Unbecoming in a man Shackled by love. I can't break free; The orbit of your personality Prevents me. Everywhere I look You are there. Truly a sad state of affairs.
Am I an angel, Or the devil incarnate? Now have to stand on my own two feet And listen to the beat Of my heart. What does this say about me? I am not a loner, I delight in eccentricity. Troubled minds I can cope with, The clover they live in. Students who walk down my street Don’t realise It's tough out there. That’s not on the curriculum, Life is not to play for fun; But the sun also rises On those who don’t run. Commitment was essential. I never really worked, Just had causes I believed in. I did my best With what little talent I had.
I write this just for you. I understand what you are going through. There is no closure; Life exposed In its rawest. The pain is great, Don’t operate. I feel the lash too; But we can be heroes, After a fashion. Hold my hand, I can take you there. Where are we now? "I don’t know, But we have to accept Pronto” No escape from humanity.
The battles lines are drawn, The scornful hate withdrawn. I will go toe to toe With anyone you know. I have lost my greatest treasure; But the measure Of a man Is what he fights for. Justice, Freedom, Is what he claims. But they do not know What happens in dreams. Pass away And the schemes Fall apart. And when he calls Will you pick up the phone, he just needs to hear your voice One more time?
After the storm A strange and unaccustomed silence reigns. But in that dreadful quiet Something is learned, When love is burned Only ashes remain. I remember how it shone How it warmed me. I know where I came from, I know what I became. The future, Not given for man to know. All this self reflection Easily leads to introspection Where the mind becomes a prison. And the pattern of a thousand thoughts Get caught In an endless loop.
All my instincts Told me I have for you, Would never be through, But I threw it away. As I say this I cry. It hurts, Causes pain in My guts. Why Why Why? How could I have been so stupid. Cupid's arrow I can't take out. I will love you 'Til the day I die
