Another day another dollar
Don the thrown on clothes
That worn over washed feel
A face soaped look to begin the start of another start
Another trawl into the big wide world
Yet so held in as my uniform
Becomes my sin

Work the day
Sleep the night
Gone the parties
Gone the life

My dollar buys the tax mans lunch
His change may feed my family brunch
Pay the bills on borrowed time
What a life my common crimes
Twist the fate that follows me
The uniform of life and
I'm the tree

Work the day
Sleep the night
Gone the parties
Gone the life

Holiday beaches from a magazine
Feel the heat and dream the dream
Forget the island sun my son
Paradise park be only for the few
Paradise just aint my glue

Work the day
Sleep the night
Gone the parties
Gone the life

Uniform of life work your magic wand
Take me to another place
Work me to the bone
Feed my luck to the workers book
It's written till the end
Gone my map all washed from the tears of my soul
The chapters complete yet
Empty inside

His smile just said it all
A look
A laughing call
It melted me inside
My love is pure to never die

His age scare still my soul
As tall as trees in fall
He towers over me
My treasure that he be

A glint that made me warm
The laugh all in his charm
My proudest and my life
Yes my son you are my pride

Yet who do I owe the most
My wifey's love ..a suffering host
She's good and makes me proud
My son ...Our son
Our life

The clouds seem grey today
Is it me I hear you play
Was no mood for laughing loud
Feel the deepest darkest howl

Started like the fun I have
Then the clouds of grey bit back
So I is here to feel the mood
Black and grey all coloured blue

Let's hope the wind does do its job
Blow my mind ...blow the lot
Bring that sunny sunshine smile
Make me happy Gangman style

Body in aching from a thousand steps
Yet a thousand more must be seen
In this life that i love for free
Yet take away my relief

Go feed me the pain that
I must have
And bring me lifeless ebb
My time to take a thousand steps
A thousand steps again

A tortured mind for the mindless fools
My head feels so at home
Just a thousand steps to take me there
And a thousand back I drone

Go feed me the pain that
i must have
And bring me lifeless ebb
My time to take a thousand steps
A thousand steps again

Hills of torture through paths of stone
I'll walk the way to hell
A thousand steps step up the hill
Just a thousand back again

Go feed me the pain that
I must have
And bring me lifeless ebb
My time to take a thousand steps
A thousand steps again

Does this see life as we are made
Or can we throw the walk
Do charge a million miles to stride
Be dam the steps don't fall

I'd sooner fly to stars above
Be scared of reaching high
Look down as up and step to climb
the sky

Go feed me the pain that
I must have
And bring me lifeless ebb
My time to take a thousand steps
A thousand steps again


A pearly gate may greet me  
Fluffy beard to show us life
The new way
Last step in time

Vanilla fog filled my body
A taste quite sweet yet its bitter pill
burned my mouth
Hurt my body
Stung my eyes

In the dark no mercy for the good
No way out for the end
Too young to die
Too young to fly
See a wronged goodbye

A journey to far
Be his bright shining star
As wings carry him high
For a friend in he lives

Burn so the pain in hearts
close to him
Sad for the sorrow
A missed goodbye grin

Crying not over for a loss
still so raw
Bitter and twisted for the road
Dam the fall
Heaven is a place
Be a knock on his door

He perched high upon his tower of doom
With a glazed gruesome smile  
The window of the world at his feet
Wallow earth wallow
A fine job done indeed

What have we done? ..where do we go?
So many wars
So many useless conflicts
Wasted sons to fathers breath
Mothers wailing ....fear regrets

Famine ..hunger and much the greed
He had done well ...very well indeed
Still perched he rubbed his hands
Laughing at the stupidity of the
So called human race  

Smoke escaped his horns in anticipation
A baited fiery breath held
What next to tempt his bitter
twisted tongue
A lighting bolt of laughter escaped him
The  storm was coming

Words said yet my ears stay closed
In fear of questions that
Leave me
Scared to death inside
Today could have been better

Sing for tomorrow cos today
is nearly done
Lets sing now for the future
Feel my past has haunted
Gone .......

Watched the sounds appear
Be failed to take the note
Another date in future pure dread
I've lost the vote
She mouthed another meeting
In lost Im outa time

Sing for tomorrow cos today
is nearly done
Lets sing now for the future
Feel my past has haunted
Gone .......

Time to close my eyes
Sleep not wanted
Not tonight
Not ever
Today could have been better

In between the hills lays a land of green green grass
Where the heavens made their love of life
And gods sung of such sight
Be the lands that they did fight for us the green green grass

Oh green the land of warriors
The land we all do dwell
Green the grass the layman loves
True paradise be felt

In battle times and truces found the land did best it could
Yet all of them who fought for us they knew and understood
The green land see found their place to die for poppy's blood
A land we wished we all could live a world of peace and love

Oh green the land of warriors
The land we all do dwell
Green the grass the layman loves
True paradise be felt

Someday the land will fill our souls and peace will win the day
The green green land will be our rest god bless to all we pray
In those who fought so we could see the green green land this way
We praise and silence once a year remembrance poppy day

I close my eyes
Smell the picture of you
Still laugh your smile
Can I hold your hand

Think the day will never end
When the start was not my friend
Cried the whole i missed the part
Sweet memories my heart

Saw you look into my eyes
Wished i said what i could want
Soon the day to be not here
In my love for you not gone

Now I'm older wise the fact
No more dancing done the daft
Still will look as if your here
Sweet memories apart

Poems of Remembrance

War is defined as a form of political violence however I rather hate to like the following quote by this Prussian military general in 1832

"War is thus an act of force to compel our enemy to do our will."

We vote in our leaders to refrain from such yet allow them to use us as pawns in their world.I will be remembering and thanking all those who have will and do give up their life's so that i can at least be free to make such thanks

Lest we forget

The stench of decay hung in the air
Along with the gases from the badlands
Rain had turned the trenches into another bog for the day
STAND TO LADS !!!
the Sergeant barked his mornin song

Spell broken by the first shell of the morning
lucky day ...BOOM .....lucky day
Breakfast usual as the new boys showed no fear
Hide ya head son as another disappeared
Snipers doing their work already...
A scream now silenced short

The morning hate over
Patrolling life began
SHhhhh!! no gunfire
The 2 sides master plan
Machine guns a ready shall cut you complete
Hand to hand and man to man
Bayonets flash besieged

Returned to base to lick their wounds
A fight amongst the rats
Black and brown did rule the roost
A feeding frenzy plan
The lice did all they could to help
Trench fever did its dance
Another day
STAND TO!!! he barked
We stood with baited breath

This was what they signed for
A short war all at plan
And what did they all die for
This life I thank you man

Lest we forget

.......................

A Poppy Remembered

A flower held hand as the young girl
reaches up for her mothers grasp
The reddest of velvet's reflected from
her tears on eyes as her poppy
stands proud and straight

Remember their sacrifice
As you join in their stand
An honour to hold one
Red poppy to hand

She knows why she's standing
She know no return
Her father not here now
His never come home

He fought for his country
He fought for his life
He fought for his honour
His family
Our life

Remember this girl that cries every night
No father to hold her
Is gone from this earth
Yet she is the proudest
A daughter could be
Because of her father
Gave life
For you
...and for me

........................
Poppy day

.....................

Remember

Remember what they fought for
Remember why they fell
Remember all the killings
The living life in hell

Remember what they did for us
Remember who they were
Remember all the people
That they did fight and fall

A day to show our pride
A day to bow our heads
A day to mourn our family
Lest we forget

The stench of decay hung in the air
Along with the gases from the badlands
Rain had turned the trenches into another bog for the day

This life I thank you man  

Lest we forget

Close my eyes to your face
See that smile warm my heart
Smell your scent fill my soul
Miss your body next to mine

knowing your not here
Wishing all my fears
Looking in the moonlight
Regrets mine..    
All lost in...
Tears of time    

Sense your touch never feeling
Hear your beat fill my sound
Watch your mouth never moved
kiss those lips cherry blue

knowing your not here
Wishing all my fears
Looking in the moonlight
Regrets mine..    
All lost in...
Tears of time    

Pass me on the other side
As my heart missed your look
Call me when you know I'm here
One day I'll call you too

The walk out the door
To the last look around
His breath now not wanted
Miss lost to be found

The look that faded to blur
Heard the metal twist door
No escape clause to write over
The light got darker

Light so blue and bright
See's a sight gone
So... so fast
A wreck... a loss

The look behind his shoulder
Could have changed his life
Earth clouded  
World over

Remember what they fought for
Remember why they fell
Remember all the killings
The living life in hell

Remember what they did for us
Remember who they were
Remember all the people
That they did fight and fall

A day to show our pride
A day to bow our heads
A day to mourn our family
Lest we forget

In the old pub
That a change in style had not replaced
Sat a couple
In drinking pints no shame
Dressed up to the nines like somewhere to go
This their local,This their show

Old music played some song from then
A smile cracked ,his toes began
She looked at him with fonded eyes
Proud to be sat on his side

His flattened cap began to quiver
as broken hands came out a shiver
Many times had come and gone
Yet here they were and this their song

His rise of proud'ness won her heart
In a flutter time to start
Dancing shoes all for the ready
Whisked away a shimmer Freddie

Year's no age this time was their's
Dancing laughing life's weekend beer  
Many more for them to come
Down the Old dog and Partridge... done !!!

My heart woke to the morn
In my body's blood my hands curled
Be this age to gone

Wounded in battle from scars
not shown
Seen to the day's stretch

The world's infest lulls me to
another breath
In so they creep
Infested deep

Outside we crawl to the tax on
our soul's
No better known as we believe  
the food that's fed in lies

A day to come before us
stands in life
Our hope commands

Weak in hand
I fear
I stand
I fight another day ....Lest we forget

Slowly and surely the world turned over
Its teeth to bear upon our earth
The rage in life has over its land
These running thousands fleeing hands

A thousand miles of rage and anger
Seems so much damage ,done disaster
Lives in lost and fed to mother
Make us realize our simple precious

Time takes heal for many a place
Reflection life a moments grace
Land reclaimed as climate moves
Thoughts for comfort ...life consumed

Down the entry ..up we ran
Fighting ,shouting, laughing cans
Days of old where nothing mattered
Play outside until ya shattered

Knock on doors and make a scarper
Light a banger .. could n be dafter
Chase ya mates on bikes all rusty
Pulling wheelies ...fetching plasters

Build a den from scraps of wood
Hide for ages till its grub
Bottles sought to take to shop
Swap for sweeties gobs that stop

Not a phone nor worried sight
When you turn up late at night
Eat ya nosh see Kojak chase
Fire lit ya in dads place

Jimmy's on all snuggled in
flick 3 channels theres nothing on  
Of to bed with ***** feet
Only bath time once a week

Thin whispery clouds formed around the distant hills
as I looked out into the vastness
Moonlight reflected from the dew as the dawn did open
Little fairy's danced before my eyes seeing life be born
And the sky did open

Light became light to the roar of sunlight warming the earth
Shadows formed to hold the darkness of night just a little longer
I stretched to the start of a new days dawning
Feeling my skin warm to the glow of the fire started in the sky
Life was waking ..I was alive

Cool breath from the night still filled my lungs as I exhaled the dark
to breath in the day
The sweet sweet taste of morning felt so good so fresh so alive
This was the taste of Earth
This was the taste of living

I see him every day
That man of fortune
A wasted fate in Costa lotta
Proud to be
The club of robots
His hand extended
his trophy treasured

Mr Costa man ...
Mr Costa
See him show his hand
Our Mr Costa
Thinks he is a man
Oh Mr Costa

Phone a plus
Ear in shouting loud
He walks with honour
See him coffee proud
In suit and jacket

Mr Costa man ...
Mr Costa
See him show his hand
Our Mr Costa
Thinks he is a man
Oh Mr Costa

Works around the land to pay the prices
That rip of sound
Let loose ya moths fly
A fool we see
His badge of pride
That Costa life thats Mr Costa

Mr Costa man ...
Mr Costa
See him show his hand
Our Mr Costa
Thinks he is a man
Oh Mr Costa

So laugh out loud next time you see
That sucker walk
The badge he breathes  
Mr Costa man...  
Big Brothers land....

I can see you see me too
In a view
Hidden from that look
of you

This sight before my eye
Pure beauty in a sparkled light
A smile that broke my heart
to pieces

Scattered fell a love
Restarted
I'm in my mind our love
Not parted

I knew it from the start
That look
In love
My glazed gone vision

I've always thought it true
you are the one .......
The true
Divination

Sitting here with my head lowered I feel the depths of sleep tire me at the very core
My hand reaches through my hair,fingertips stretching searching seen trying to wake this sorry soul
grasping at the short strands that used to be a dark mass yet now resemble some lost scared ghost of Christmas past
I sit here trying to write my future
trying to forget some past
The screen looks blurry as my glasses no longer do their job, yet another sign this body and soul is in decline.Glasses off and all comes clear again .Dam these eyes as i rub and rub the sore red stinging that comes with age and sleep deprivation.
My mind is full of fireworks whilst my body is made of wax thats been sat to near the glowing embers of a log fire set there for the night.Oh to have a normal mind ,a mind that forgets ambition ,forgets his dream, forgets reality ,maybe its time to join big brother and become a prole
Would life be so different,would I learn to sleep any better ,would my life become more wholesome
do I need another life ...
na my fireworks are my life
my madness is my way and my writing keeps me sane...the alcohol consume me, hides me, deserts me yet my family love me ...god knows why I think they must be drugged ,maybe its hypnosis maybe just maybe its me ...as for my friends bless em they really must be desperate ...well a proles live for me or back to my quazi quazi life, back to the fireworks in my mind, back into the openness of the sea

Happy Birthday chuck **

Start your engines the chase is on
His fight to evil the train is long
Our man of steel no more the strong
A shot to freedom
What seems so wrong

In his skyfall life
He takes our breath
His name is bond
He is our best
Our very best!!!!!!
Our very best!!!!!!!!!!

His proud of country see's his return
A fight within can be his harm
His trusty sword and ....radio
Taken all its all
Just for the show

In his skyfall life
He takes our breath
His name is bond
He is our best
Our very best!!!!!!
Our very best!!!!!!!!!!

Steely chariot whisks him to lair
A longing of his live
Ancestral home
The fight is on
His time has come  

In his skyfall life
He takes our breath
His name is bond
He is our best
Our very best!!!!!!
Our very best!!!!!!!!!!

A battle won
The war still on
A new beginning
A life reborn
So look out world
Cos bond is back

A day that i should die
Would life upon this planet care..
Would people laugh or cry
Would time go on un-noticed ..
Would people hold their breath
I very much so doubt it
My life now sudden death

Do flags get flown because I'm out
and nearly 6ft down
I very much do worry not
I bet no sudden frowns
My life is that a tiny ant ..that ****!!
No longer there
I bet a younger ant like me
be ready that i fear

In times gone past we hasten had forgotten all our pals
Remembering of the dead we know
yet someone filled their souls
Will we become a memory fad
that people just dont share
A stone inside a churches yard
Bare of love and care

My death will go so no one see's a grief of family life
my friends,my love and closest ones
will mourneth me
A day of life be had
Time will heal those wounded souls
and time will fade away
Leaving just a dusty stone
crumbling day by day

A flower held hand as the young girl
reaches up for her mothers grasp
The reddest of velvet's reflected from
her tears on eyes as her poppy
stands proud and straight

Remember their sacrifice
As you join in their stand
An honour to hold one
Red poppy to hand

She knows why she's standing
She know no return
Her father not here now
His never come home

He fought for his country
He fought for his life
He fought for his honour
His family
Our life

Remember this girl that cries every night
No father to hold her
Is gone from this earth
Yet she is the proudest
A daughter could be
Because of her father
Gave life
For you
...and for me

Into the dark dark night a candle lit
Waiting the morn
Eyes of terror behold the turning clock tick  
At last the day awakes to a snub of chorus

Be the dawn of a new day I feel it
Sense it and be scare of its power
Smell it gliding over under
Any way it can to reach you
Life in this age of darkness
Cold to the bone
A waiting light from the sun be bore

From these depths of shine the darkness falls
Smothering ,holding feel it crawl
Like a fog it creeps across the earth
Seeking, waiting wanting all

It preys in the corners
Hidden in view
Wanting you owned
Know you place in time is soon
Indeed pray that it takes you quick
Alas the darkness takes Savour

The sunset fell upon the earth
as my eyes sparkled in its glow
Blues and greens became of me
as natures force did show

No strings of shame or hardship sought
No binding to this place
My ship was on the sea once more
This happy freedom lease

No strings from bows
No lies from home
Just stars to view the night
This sea of fish and giant waves
Do feel at one this breeze

Untied I sail
Out into the new
Fresh air in lungs
That feed my soul
A sunrise waits to show

White beat in a blackened night
Out of a darkness in the shine
Beauty of the night soared passed my eyes
A totally wondrous sight

Its fear of nothing gave the scent
Life was for all
Living
Hunting
Loving
This glance so quick
Said all so much
Made me wonder
Made me think

White heart in the open air
Passed my vision
A daylight stare  
In such madness sure to go
Yet quick as a flash
Run
Jump
Go
A sigh in sight
My lucky charm

My owl and my ***** cat
Safe and sound
Life to live
Life be free

Eyelids closed to the sightless view's
In my dreams of once ago

A lifeless loomed

This day of emptiness
A vision gone away

This day a realise
My dreams all faded grey

A call so early was the night
A sleep once had
Did send me over
Was this the way to be I'm told

This day of blindness
Chained to the road

This day in time held past
Picture's painted heaped to last

In sightless sky as my blindfold held
The heat demanded
Its nearly over
This faded grey
Lost forever

Outta my mind on a blank page
They look and lie at me
Yet in my head I know the score
My life's reality

The trap is on the outside
Lets wash it all away
Be leave them in their own world
A fact no lesser be

Your inner soul forgets re-al
They have you now its said
Unless you have the strength to fight
Protect your inner head

The lies are there
They have the string's
A muppet you could be
Unless you see the real world
Rose tinted broken free

The day started in my eyes
Blood red views from a sleep still in motion
Bitter in the cold of a dawn still fighting a dusk
ravaged by the cool winds of autumn

A look backed by a glance forward
as light betrayed the scene of dying leafs
Slow and gentle brought by the gusts they glided to this earth
ready to become at one at my feet  

To the trees so rattled in the after life of russets
this was their dawn this was their day
Stripped to be bare by the black of the night    
The smell in the air was ready

Winter's fall was coming and time was moving on
My life seems so much older now
This green has gone all grey
Bones aching for a summer glow
A shell in slow decay

I feel it even more now the dread of winter's day
No magic cream to hide from the cracks of life in hand  
No wand to young the age on time this second passed me by  
My autumn is here
This is my way in life  
Time to change the future a step fall back in time

Our love ............
Our ever lasting love
Is here .............
Forever us to keep
Its clear ..............

This true love ..............
This love so running deep
This love...............
Your kisses oh so sweet
So nice...............

Our one love ...........
My heart it missed a beat
Our love..................
So gentle hold my hand
You see................

Our love ..................
Forever at your side
Be here ..............
Together through the night
Our love ..........
In moonlight paradise

A man of no age
See this world be his stage
Subservant his number
This badge be his honour

His country to serve
In sacrificed love
These stories be told
A plot to unfold

A hero so British
This tune we still listen
A fighter of evil
His Q for distinguish

Sweet ladies a plenty
On rocks drinks martini
A drive in an Aston
Gadgets to walther

All baddies behind him
A win every time
As sunsets divine
A lady reclined
The music..........his line

The names Bond
James Bond

The drive on the long road to a place that no one cares
sends a feeling to my spine and to my senses
In my eyes I see my skin erased as the rawness pulses
A million tingling nerves beating waiting for the calm to appear
Red  takes over my body as I struggle to focus on the mundane tasks

My eyes refocus and the red is gone ...
Normality resumed
A road paved in gold as pain reversed
Gone and left into the past of a moment of madness
The drive of lifelessness is ended and I want no more

These Visions have taken me to places that no-one wants
To lands where life is free-less
To places where pain is life
I close my eyes to hide these worlds
The long drive is over

A death so long ago
for a life taken too early
Yet little did we know that dad was making things ready for mum
Little did we know that he was warming the bed
Building the fire
Making a home in heaven

So mum is gone from here
But comfort to all who saw
Her love of life
Her love of dad
Her wait for him

Together again at last
In a place made this home
In stars we see twinkle
In nights we see their smile
God bless

Into the new I walk
as my old self falls apart
Into the old I loose
as life turns and walks

Craze do the way
Disco to the future
Dance from the past  
Live as your last

Life for the live
as old departs to history  
Live for the life
Forget the past
Blown to the wind in dust now wild

Craze do the way
Disco to the future
Dance from the past  
Live as your last

My future do walk
in a moon full and bold
Awaiting the slither to unfold
Madness take on me  
Till the new win me over

Craze do the way
Disco to the future
Dance from the past  
Live as your last

Live to the new
Life to the full
Fade out the old
Faded to the new

Deep down into the London low
A place be going
A pulse
A throw

Ants do form and work on through
Always racing
Follow you
Vampire Charlie's lay in wait
Hunger for a light
The taste

Vampire Charlie's hang out here
See the whites  
Smell the fear
Underground
A darkness hell

Feed their frenzy
Feed their fear
Light in you becomes
Feast well  

Venture at your peril under
Watch for they as they watch thee
Armies ready
For the feed
Vampire Charlie's
Masters greed

A place in London
do no lights show
Underground the mice do flow
Everyday since long ago  
Workers ,families to and fro
Under ...Over ...Down below
Trains do rumble
Concrete hell

No hills of green
No mountain view
Just fumes and dust
A smell requel

They call this life
The under dwell
Underground
Under hell

Our capital of English darkness
can stay right there
Ill live for brightness
I love my world of trees and flowers  
Market Harborough
This eden ours

My eyes warmed to the sight of the second sun
These wrinkles of life formed shadows on my brow
To beams of life heating and turning my very skin

This was the new way
The new life
The new stage

We bow to your love as heat becomes warmth
Night becomes day and day becomes all
No time to gaze to a timeless wall
  
This was the new way
The new life
The new stage

Our second sun now in in our world in our life in our souls
Pray your thoughts to the the new way
The have say
The second law
I muse to your thoughts

I feel the rage of the sea in my head
as I stare out into the glistening tide of the ocean
Its waves of destruction ready for the thrill
Swells of water angry at our earth
Maddened by the destruction
Our mother gave at birth

Life came and life be taken
To oceans parted
Thus land reclaimed

Dark clouds form as anger takes the stage
Our sea of destruction
Our sea of rage

I feel it grow
I see its will
It fears no-one
Until the calm be-had

The millpond of life in blossom
of beauty to the moons shine sea
This is our life this is our ocean
This is our world
This is our.........
  
Our Sea of life
so beautiful to stare
so wonderful to drink
Our world in our ocean
Enable the live

The salty cool spray hung in the air
as the waves gently broke to the shore
White feet ventured onto warm soft sand
Little hands escaped from grasps to greet the sea
This is our ocean
This is our life

Squeals of laughter as icy cold water
Splashed around me from the dancing to waves
Tiny feet daring me to follow
as bucket filled shells gather to be castles  
Love is our ocean
Love in our sea  

Tiny voices half buried in the sand
Building barriers against the tide
Sea was winning  
The sea always wins
Share in our ocean
Share in our sea

Slowly as the sand falls away
The waves regaining the beach  
Gone is the castle ..
Well just for today
as we wave goodbye to the sea
Wave goodbye to the sea

Smokey rays of light fell through the trees
As I danced to our song
In faint perfumed winds I could
sense you my love

This was our music
This was our life
To dance with you darling
To be by my side

Our song made me smile
Our song made me laugh
Had been in denial
As love made its grasp

This was our music
This was our life
To dance with you darling
To be by my side

Ten clover tickled toes
Still moist from the dew
As I danced to you with me
I danced and I knew

This was our music
This was our life
To dance with you darling
To be by my side

Sweet memories still hold me
As if your still here
To dance with my lover
To smell you so near

Spider webs fall my hands
My age has found a new meaning
Long gone is the softness
Far away is my youth
Grey and old in my outlook
Tired and so cold are my views

Birthday child is gone from here
Birthday boy no more
Time is winning out this war
Time is drawing near

Looks in the mirror to a faded view
Softness in my haze
Hair now parted colour lost
Grey this ear to ear
Grey this ear to ear

Birthday child is gone from here
Birthday boy no more
Time is winning out this war
Time is drawing near

Shine a dazzle from my brow
Lines to show mature
Bones that creak to the open door
Time is drawing near
Time is drawing near

Hear the beauty of the world
through closed eyes
Seeing thought of memories
as I sing to speak

Watching sounds from my father
lost to the deep
Words full of meaning
In a world fed on hope

Pain fails to loneliness
from eyes that see no more
To ears that listen to the silence
In a voice lost to the ocean bed

Gone is the day that past
Gone See's a day from the future
Gone to a life in my cry
Gone in a picture faded in life

Where is my head cos its gone out of here
It went for a ride on bus 79
Where did it go?
What did it see?
The bus 79.... is free
The bus 79 yippee
On bus 79 you'll see

Lets go for a ride on bus 79
Lets go to the ocean for tea
Lets hop on along and sing a great song
On bus 79 we'll be  
On bus 79 we'll be
On bus 79 yippee  

You bring uncle Harrold and auntie Mc Barrell
Fish supper for us by the sea
The bus 79
We'll sing all divine
We'll sing for our supper
You'll see
We'll sing for our supper
You'll see

Lets go for a ride on bus 79
Lets go to the ocean for tea
Lets hop on along and sing a great song
On bus 79 we'll be  
On bus 79 we'll be
On bus 79 yippee  

Tis getting quite late as sun hits the waves
Is time for the bus to go home
The bus 79
We had a good time
Lets sing till we can no more
Lets sing a good song
Come join in the fun
On bus 79 to your door
On bus 79 to your door

Liquid gold drench my skin from rays of honey love
Feeling the warmth of pure golden hit my face
These are the days of summer
These are the days we crave
Stretched out I see my fingertips raised to the heavens
As my eyes seek shelter in the brightness of the morn
Can feel my body healing from the cold winters fury
Feel the calming of the storm
These are the days of summer
These are the days we crave
Pillowed clouds hover yet not daring to spoil the day
Shapeless yet so dangerous they float along
Ready for the winter ready for the call
Summer splash me with your rays of sun
Wet me till I'm dry
Heal those winter blues inside
Leave me ...Summer cry

How sweet is my love for you
as i breath in your honeydew
Can taste all your scent from within
as I kiss you
You make me grin

Our love is filled with emotion
Our love wont keep us apart
Our love is pure locomotion
True love be free in your heart

Can hear pound your beating heart
as I lay by your side i feel calm
Is it love to be so in love
as my mind explodes from above

Our love is filled with emotion
Our love wont keep us apart
Our love is pure locomotion
True love be free in your heart

To hold you and be near your so sweet
feel my skin to your skin so complete
See your mind as we hold all apart
feel the love so divine
Lovers start

Oh jeez I know yor there
ya fighting me a war in here
I know your in my head
depressing your the best

Can feel you on my shoulders
just waiting for the lull
when smiles do fade to whiskey
I know you'll have ya fill

But this time I'm all ready
no pills no down the line
I'm coming out a fighting
and winning is my time

I've had enough of sorrow sad
that look from other folk
me head is standing up and right
no looking down no joke

Depressing that your leaving here
but we all know your game
you'll wait for disappointment
your wait will be in vain
