ARE YOU HAPPY NOW ?
how much is there left to say ?
could be a recipe for disaster either way
am i just repeating
feelings that i've voiced before ?
last thing i want is to bore
apparitions form for me
a broken soul in sling and plaster
known to see
you were cruel so cynical
cold to touch so clinical
it's no wonder i eloped
from you
so i reach deep down
i won't drown
illustrations drawn
i was born
you're asleep
and the TV is on
door is closed
question how
are you happy now ?
want something done do it yourself
never leave it in the hands of strangers
for it's your wealth
message sent goes straight to spam
better that than live the sham
that was everything we tried
so i reach deep down
i won't drown
illustrations drawn
i was born
you're asleep
and the TV's on
door is closed
so i suppose
you are happy now
are you happy now ?

I LIKE YOUR MAKEUP
i like your makeup
it looks good on you
nothing too shabby
even if you tried to
now that we can
now that i am
i like this makeup
at last it feels good
toned up and cut down
got it back as we should
now that we can
(no more molehills
into a mountain)
now that i am
(better luck with
coin into the fountain)
now that we can
(broken moulds taped
back into pictures)
now that i am
(body's working now
the mind needs no stitches)

RUNNING INTERFERENCE
03:41

i know a little boy
before too long he'll be grown up
won't need his newest toy
because he'll be a man with a wedding ring
owns some things
living large and all it brings
i knew a little girl
nowadays she's a loving mother
upon my lap she'd curl
snuggle up cozy true
i'd watch her everyday
discovering the brightest way
speaking of which
one day i'll be
father to raise a family
not down in a ditch nor drowning in sea
i know the score
until then i'm running interference
my sister is a gem
so long the years between us sown up
our life of love we own
and now she's living in another place i think she's ready to come home now
speaking of which
one day i'll be
father to raise a family
not down in a ditch nor drowning in sea
i know the score
until then i'm running interference
no mere quips
just watch me and see
father to raise a family
not down in a ditch nor drowning in sea
i know the score
until then i'm running interference
i'm running interference
i'm running interference, oh
i'm running interference
i'm running interference, oh
i'm running interference
i'm running interference

HOW DO YOU KNOW
how do you know
all the things I'm thinking ?
you didn't go
when i went back drinking
cos' our lives are hard to find
when we don't give each other time
but i see a future
that's together
and i love what's come to pass
how do you know
all my pain that's blinking
you didn't go
with all my splintered thinking
cos' our lives are hard to find
when we don't give each other time
but i see a future
that's together
and i love what's come to pass
got a nice new life
in the back
i won't knife
all the tiny seeds are coming to bloom
i know it's start of something
beautiful that's come between two
how do you know
all all the things I'm thinking ?
you didn't go
with all my splintered thinking
cos' our lives are hard to find
when we don't give each other time
but i see a future
that's together
and i love what's come to pass

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
03:41

baton down the hatches
to deny the chill
we both need to stay warm
or we might get ill
tighten all the bolt locks
prepare the feast to eat
we don't want the hunger
to arrive and cheat
monday thru friday
so let's set a time
better late than never
now's the time to shine
if you don't see me
please don't think i've bailed
Always and forever
we can't be assailed
subtext is a strange witch
it can undo all
chinese whispers mounting
headed for a fall
lighten up get heavy
ruminate the plain
aren't you glad we met life?
gone the other way
monday thru friday
so let's set a time
better late than never
now's the time to shine
if you don't see me
please don't think i've bailed
Always and forever
we can't be assailed
birthday through passing
i hope there's some time
to affect the change we
leave an upbeat sign
if you don't see me
please don't think i've bailed
better late than never
we can't be assailed
we can't be assailed
we can't be assailed

TRILOGY

known this guy for 20 years
we go back a long way; fears
had slowed me to a snail's pace
he stood by, he kept his place
push and shove til i'd get my way
i was birthing true dismay
but still he'd surface, will me forward
hoping that i'd paddle shoreward
part one lived, it was to end
like the sequel for my friend
was saddened to be witness to
my abandoned life i'd knew
he's my brother will always be
i hold his presence to my heart
eternally
it's so rare
when you can share
then a trust is earned
and returned
yes my friend
i relate this truth
i'm a better man
because of you
we talk of our trilogy
it was serendipity
that my friend had returned just prior
for my rebirth from the fire
after all those stubborn years
he was there, part of the cheers
that met me when my soul emerged
for so long it was submerged
he knows truly who i am
on the same page we can cram
a bible thickness of emotions
get togethers, breed promotions
for our unique camaraderie
he's my brother will always be
i hold his presence to my heart
eternally
it's so rare
when you can share
then a trust is earned
and returned
yes my friend
i relate this truth
i'm a better man
because of you
there was part one
and part two
now the trilogy continues
so let's grow old together

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME ?
what do you want from me ?
what do you want to hear ?
haven't i given all i've got ?
aren't my actions and words clear ?
what do you want to take ?
from every day at stake
and i know it's hard
to beat the system
but i see the light
through the mist tonight
and we must stand guard
to amend the wisdom
that aspires to hold us tight
what do you want to gain ?
from birthing in me pain
like Abel and that Cain
over shoulder i look again
i've tried so hard
to keep you happy
but i know tonight
that it's not alright
when it doesn't have to be
so ugly
so obscene
so hopeless
so unseemly
big picture
can't you see ?
that it's a canvas ripe for painting
what do you want from me ?
what do you wish to own ?
expectations when alone
are applied we are never ready!
and i know it's hard
to beat the system
but i see the light
through the mist tonight
and we must stand guard
to amend the wisdom
that aspires to hold us tight
and i've tried so hard
to keep you happy
but i know tonight
that it's not alright
when it doesn't have to be
so ugly
so obscene
so hopeless
so unseemly
big picture
can't you see ?
that it's a canvas ripe for painting
i want to know
i want to know why
i want to know why you're doing this to me
please don't
please don't
please don't

WHITE FLASH

WHITE FLASH
you have to back up what you do and what you've done today
cos' in a flash it's easily deleted and gone away
and then there's nothing
when there was something
i've got to pin the tail on the donkey when i can
blindfolded is the status of the way in which we ran
don't leave with nothing
deserving something
crack a jack i love the flash
it's blinding static white
the lightning show on offer
i could watch it all night
bric-a-brac considered trash
i take it back to home
looks rather fetching on the mantle
stands on it's own
hire purchase don't subscribe
let's work to get our own
shortcuts solutions 'buts'
"umms" "arrs" "don't knows.."
do we really want to live denying what we sow ?
come on sister let's go
dive deep and delve
let's just help ourselves
i could catalogue a list of what i've dropped and caught
point out everything i have of which i haven't bought
and it's quite something
i should have nothing
deterring courses splintering the fractures of the field
it's just a sieve where every bit just falls through with no yield
it leaves us nothing
i'll give you something
crack a jack i love the flash
it's blinding static white
the lightning show on offer
i could watch it all night
bric-a-brac considered trash
i take it back to home
looks rather fetching on the mantle
stands on it's own
hire purchase don't subscribe
let's work to get our own
shortcuts solutions 'buts'
"umms" and "arrs" "don't knows.."
do we really want to live denying what we sow ?

TOTALLY

saw your smile fade for a fraction
zigzagged a tincture caption
creature of the club no option
rather that involves adoption
fires on the hillside
last laugh for the wiseguy
criers on the landslide
totally in limbo
first, last & midway most times
keep my own hours fit rhymes
go to the well see what sells
the new dumb is quite the nobel
fires on the hillside
last laugh for the wiseguy
criers on the landslide
did you hear what i said
totally in limbo
totally akimbo
saw your smile
saw your smile fade for a fraction
zigzagged a tincture caption
creature of the club no option
fires on the hillside
last laugh for the wiseguy
criers on the landslide
did you hear what i said
totally in limbo
totally in limbo

IVORY TOWERS
who goes there ?
the fact of the matter
who knows where
the first meets the last ?
7 nations
called to the summit
just for the photo opportunity
i'm skint broke
but i will fund ya'
when rich folk
attend to their Audi
the same bitch
mad as a hatter
towers of whte ivory
stand above and we all see straight through you
powers lounge on setee with a mint on their pillows
whilst their bed's turned down
spread it around
Arc angels
supposed to protect you
right angles
elucidate straight
7 sin bin
time out for 10 breaths
brutal as knuckle add infinity
towers of whte ivory
stand above and we all see straight through you
powers lounge on setee with a mint on their pillows
whilst their bed's turned down
showers forecast for free
maybe
sun will arrive
and greet
you/me
sunkist mistress cashes cheque
lovebites red
they mark her neck
kickbacks
fill a wallet
pocket
spilling
loads of coin
my attorney is my word
unless i speak it
you've not heard
dabble
scrabble
collect the letters
now prove your word exists
if pain persists
you know who to see
spread it around
spread it around
i dare you!

COMRADES BOWLING

we went to the bowling centre
everybody's welcome so we'd enter
a strike
or split
or spare
we had the time of our lives
the ones that we have long denied
two boys & 4 sweet girls
today's a day
that we won't forget
found a way
to live life reset
tonight something happened outright
we didn't see it coming even with light
our hearts have spoke the truth
today's a day
that we won't forget
found a way
to live life reset
