Strong so strong
They go where they belong
They howl in the night
Like wolves in the fight
They’re world unpinned
By minds that sinned
Not what they appear
Silent with the fear
Unbalanced from the womb
One foot in a tomb
Disturbing a nation
Like a Lovecraft creation
Adore what the world hates
Those loathsome reprobates
Whilst drinking
I wasn’t thinking
And I pulled out a rocket
Made of anger and self loathing
Wrapped up in childish clothing
Then just released it into the room

It flew into the faces
Of the innocents in their places
Which was wrong
I felt instant twinges of regret
But I wasn’t finished yet
As I swore and hit and cursed

A fool resides in here
His guilt is all too clear
The wallowing never stops
A conscience he must regain
That is floating in the rain
Before it gets washed away
We ran like soldiers in combat
And laughed like hippies smoking dope
We swung on rope swings like monkeys
And questioned how we’d all cope
When we finally entered adulthood

We swam in hidden lakes of water
And set fires underneath the trees
We rode bikes down steep inclines
And discussed the stormy seas
When we finally began adulthood

We wandered over well trodden grass
And hid from the local nutters
We watched a girl doing acrobatics
And listened what each of us mutters
About slowly descending into adulthood

We slid on the ice in winter
And watched cars float down the river
We did all the childhood emotions
And pondered what fate would deliver
As we all entered the start of adulthood
Like a trumpet in full song
The noise she roared
Floating in the air
From the nostril to my door
I don’t blame the vessel
All tucked up asleep
I blame the creator
Whoever that may be
A tip for the unlucky listener
Try to fall asleep first
Otherwise suffer the fate
Of the sleep depriving snore
Walking along
In a daze
I felt the sun and all his rays
A little thing that life had stole
Started returning
My precious soul
Spirits lifted through my skin
As beautiful thoughts
Drifted in
I wanted to live amongst the crowd
My new found strength
Made me proud
What lay in store I didn’t know
But I made a promise
To give it a go
Walking along
In vibrant sways
I thank the sun and all his rays
Next to the white painted fence
Underneath the old apple tree
My love of many years
Has promised to wait for me

Don’t be late was her message
Get here as fast as you can
A million leaves blew from the trees
When through the streets I ran and I ran

I got there and saw her smiling
Our arms embraced the day
But the problem with beautiful dreaming
Is that reality gets in the way

Then I remembered the daylight
And the birds were singing then
Please god do the impossible
And make this my dream again
Kisses are like bliss
Spellbinding and hard to resist
Be it lover, mother, father or brother
Sister, cat, secret person or other

Kisses are like bliss
The kind of thing you don’t want to miss
Different meanings from happiness to pain
Warm or cold like droplets of rain

Kisses are like bliss
You try to decide if you want to enlist
Cherish them like gold dust
They don’t die they don’t rust

Kisses are like bliss
Slamming down like an iron fist
Just have them there and then
Cause they may not come again
