I'd seen that look before
As the ghost in the mirror
Smiled its haggard stare
I blinked and stepped away
From shock
Not blinded to the glare

So many nights of drinkers ale
To many spirits high
Had left my face a
Broken soul
My life a drunken fail
Yet I was me inside It all
A mess that's on the rails

This face that fell all from
It's grace
The beauty into beast
The wine of gods had done
As much
Sweet nectar has
Revealed  

My time to change had come about
The mirror scared my soul
The ghost that met my
Reddened eyes
Not welcome anymore
This road so long
The bends not straight
Let water be my wine
So one day ghost you fade away
One day
One day at a time

every time i close my eyes i see his face once more
that look that smile that wish so well ..
i miss it oh so all
i wish i'd stayed when i did go..i wish that day again
been four years past but feels so fresh
that loss ....
the emptiness

this ghost in my head wont fade away
am i so glad its here ...
a past so fond of memories
no monies ...will...or take the tears
i so so wish i'd done so more ..yet know it was my best
devoid me please the shame in me
to right the face of wrong

Grey fell into the valley ..blown in by our Lord
distance disappeared as waves in the sky took over the land
a storm was brewing..God was angry
an anger about to be unleashed upon this wonderful earth

First came the drops ...splish  splash upon the dry dusty road
one then two then the heavens opened and God cried
pools appeared as dust melted into mud... he was crying hard
wind followed ...faintly at first like a child blowing a kiss then
a wrath of gales lashed this earth like no one had seen or been to before
and God cried some more

Clouds of grey formed into black as day became night
the grey was now a black and God roared with a growl that shook the earth
yet his crying never stopped as wind,rain and thunder made us hide within our home
his sign was here ... our signal found  

time we changed our ways
time we loved this earth
time we took a hold
time we listened to our hearts

We understood the rules as the black faded away
the air suddenly became so fresh a new spring was on its way
a rainbow fell up out the sky... a sign that we all knew
dance to the sound of the blackbirds voice a new day has become

the view from his stool was a sad end to a life of despair
as he sipped another whiskey from his crippled hands
barely able to grasp the glass that contained the sweet nectar
his eyes said everything that his face tried to hide
a man faded to walk amongst the living dead

this was his existence this was his life
a man with no future a man set to die
his frail bones latched to the seat as his lips urged another fire from god
a shake so evident that time was past
yet his comfort was there for all to see
the bottom of a bottle now empty of greed

his weakness of spirit its name had him good
the water of Uisge Beatha alive in his blood
his stool is still there till next he does stagger
for more of his water and more of gods fire

seagulls fade into night as clouds of anger lit the sky so bright
feel sounds of trouble as bowling ***** noise my ears
God was playing ...
as the rumble scared me

the rumble had me
the rumble scared me
the rumble knew me  

flashes felt as clouds of anger beat their beat
skin alive under darkness as prickles spiked
my very inner

the rumble had me
the rumble scared me
the rumble knew me  

lights another day as darkness took me in
faded anger yet electric fizzle
god was playing
I scared within
I scared within

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

My faith in us has fell away
A world we lie this
Wasted way

All want
Pure greed
A fatal hack
Gone the day's we loved
That's that

Gone the day's of friendly hugs
Gone the time of love
Life's rough
Gone the times we help
Each other
Times of sadness
Be the hour

Words of power mean so
Little
Morsels eat us
Fed the greed
Leaders rule the say's and how
Sheep we follow
Black ones out

Does this make me
Wrong ??
To challenge words
To take them on
To speak this verse
No doubt the cast for me is out
Gone the day's  
The word is out

Good morning my lover
hello my lovely you
to be with you forever
a dream i had comes true

Good morning my lover!!!!!!!!
a happy I love you
a kiss from you is heaven
I'd run the earth for you
I'd run the Earth for you

I said it on our first date
I said I'd be with you
forever in your heart of hearts
my love I'd die for you

Good morning my lover!!!!!!!!
a happy I love you
a kiss from you is heaven
I'd run the earth for you
I'd run the Earth for you

You make my heart a flutter
it stutters on your name
to see you each and every day
my mind goes so insane

Good morning my lover!!!!!!!!!
a happy I love you
a kiss from you is heaven
I'd run the earth for you
I'd run the Earth for you

Good morning my lover !!!!!!!!
I want you every day
to hold your hand each moment
I love your every way!!
I love your every way!!!!
I love your every way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They say it is an art
It keeps me quite apart
It's never seen as good
Yet happy me not
understood

My grumpy life is good
I see the roses
Tinted love
My sadness makes me happy
From such a grumpy chappy

It is the way to go
The docs do say
It's so
I'll live a little longer life
More grumps i say as I get
older  

I start the day full moan
A grumpiness full drone
It never ever leaves me
My grumpy tree  
Pure freedom

So next time I'm about
Expect a grumpy shout
You'll know its from my heart
My grumpy life
This sad old ****

chippy churpy happy birds
so full of joys of spring
hear their voices singing out
a wonderous glorious din

wake up to a song of summer
just around the bend
sing the spring into the day
a fabulous day again

chippy churpy sing along
tweeting as we go
bring a smile into today
and share it with your freinds

Happy Birthday William
Happy Birthday son
an age of new beginings
and age of nearly man

a time for being grown up
but time to be a child
a laugh that no one gets no more
an age where you so can

a time for showing strength
yet gently goes the way
a time for cake and candles
a time for shaves and spray

an age where dad is kewl sometimes
an age where he is not
a mum that calls you in from out
a cry of whats the time ....

an age of girls now in your life
that you so want in quiet
time to man up now my son
a time... go break the cycle

time to spread your shoulders .... stand up proud and tall
time to take a view on life like never had before
time to make your peace..... enjoy the freinds you have
time to grab the future and take it by the hand

Happy Birthday William
Happy Birthday son

This day so comes and passes by
Another year another why
I know inside your looking down
Standing tall amongst the crowd
We all still miss you dad we do
Life without you makes me blue

Your memories make me proud and strong
as I was lucky to be your son
You taught me good and raised me love
Dad I miss you and our hugs

Just that call that's never there
Simple wisdom always fair
Unconditional always love
Dad I miss you and our hugs

Happy Fathers day
Love you Dad
Your the best a son could have
Take good care of mum up there
Miss you madly...life ain't fair

The longest night begins from the longest day
as past the year departs us
thus old brings in the new ..
a new day for living
a new year born from past

Happy new year happy new year
still drinking Christmas cheer
happy new year happy new year
a toast for all to share
happy new year ...happy new year ...happy new year

the auld lang syne departs from lips
holding hands release from grasped
as words sure tumble out
stuttered from the taste of golden stout
a new bore out a drunken hast

Happy new year happy new year
still drinking Christmas cheer
happy new year happy new year
a toast for all to share
happy new year ...happy new year ...happy new year

go celebrate the new go celebrate in style
and sing into tomoro sigh ..
a difference in a different style

Jipi Jay...Jipi Jay
sing to our friends not seen any more
Canción del adiós..Ce n'est qu'un au revoir mes frères
a toast for all to share
Τραγούδι Αποχωρισμού...Happy new year......
Llegó la hora de decir adiós, digamos, al partir, nuestra canción

the art of speaking is a thing of beauty r so its read
so why do you still keep banging in me head
ive said manyand felt a few
a head a bangin away we go

the thoughts I had just bounced around
and left me somewhat so spell bound
so here I sit awaiting thoughts
or maybe life of a sorts

here in my soul is a place i know so well
it hides all my fears my lies all my hurts
here in my head is a place that no --one see's no-one knows
seeing is hiding or so its told
knowing is telling no-one till im old

here in my heart is a place that few do see
it holds my wife my son my family
hidden from the all
hidden till i be free

here in my body is a man so fowl
so bad its smell so ...so evil pure is hell
face the mask that hides the real
face the madness face that lives

here is me that no one cares
here is me that fights the fears
hear in me a man that breaks the rules

hear me cry a crying soul

My heart cries a thousand beats into the night of dreaded heat
feeling so that feelings go ..dam the past and blow the blow
see the sky turn into red ..calmness falls do we forget

future lies not with this earth ..yet we hang for all its worth
money had its place in past ..time to move on do behast
head feels from another world ..heart is dying for the cause

Heartbeat like a butterfly to the winds I fly
see this world from a different sky
I wish and wonder why
see the colours that taste so sweet
smell the flowers feed the breeze

Heartbeat like a butterfly to the winds I fly
in my garden i can see
this love and after life
time moves on yet I'm still here
guarding once our keep

Heartbeat like a butterfly
I'm still here just for you
always find me in your heart
a look out in the blue
Heartbeat life a butterfly to the winds we fly

Is heaven in a shoe box ...has god just waved goodbye
did life just pass you over as your about to fly
was you so bad that life betrayed thee
could you have done so much more
Is heaven in a shoe box ..closed up for the night

Devils is in the detail ...or so we,re told so much
so why do we so bother if life was simply such
no-one told you how its done and no-one questioned why
devils in the detail ...go mess it up lets fight

So pick your box and find within ..the shoes that fit your life
its your one chance to change your way a new day that begin
no more detail no more sin just heaven in a shoe box
its open lets begin ........

Is Heaven in a shoe box
Has god just waved goodbye
Did life just pass you over
Are you about to fly

Was you so bad  
That life betrayed
thee
Could you have been
Much more

Is Heaven in a shoe box
Did someone close
the door
Did life just call your
final breath
Regrets all in recall
Is Heaven in a shoe box
A knock on heavens door

Devils is in the detail
Or so we,re told
So much
Why do we so bother eh
If life was simply such

Is Heaven in a shoe box
Did someone close
the door
Did you see life a
Different way
Blackened to the core

No-one told you how
Its done
No-one questioned why
Devils in the detail eh
Go mess it up
Lets fight

Is Heaven in a shoe box
Did someone close
the door
The draft is getting cold outside
Let's breath a little more
Let's breath a little more.....

So pick your box and
find within
The shoes that fit your soul
Its your one chance to
change your way
A new way walked In life
No more detail
No more sin
Just Heaven in a shoe box
Its open
Lets begin ........

Through this blood of sweat and tears
in goals my aims
my many fears
my aim for you is high
to stand up tall
reach to the sky

Nike is my victory
Medals from the earth
to be a part of history
Kotinos rule the world

See music plays my song
the gold is said
its why I've come
its this one aim in my life
this golden feat
my world complete

Nike is my victory
Medals from the earth
to be a part of history
Citius, Altius, Fortius

the pain is there yet no one see's
hidden from the light ..not hidden from me
itching and wanting all my time ..
the pain grows stronger as i decline
pills and potions ..not for me
cos Im a man ...just you see
tears do flow but all are dry
a man dont do some ..all disguise
pain inside is having fun
eating up its work near done

These lines could tell a thousand stories
Yet you'll not find no words written in
this face  
A life given to a zillion glories
Yet no future seen to a past
gone to haze  

Oh the joy and the glory
As I could be as one
This life a different story
The hill awaits my home

A sigh of life that could have been
This heart all bunched in knot's
Such tired eyes the suitcase full
My squinted crazy look

Roll over covers make my bed
A doorway fits the bill
Till morning brings another day
My begging saps my will
This life a living hell

Magpie flying high in the sky, the moon with the slightest shard, peace on the earth and pigs might fly, a bard am I.......I cry......
and a cry be heard yet no-one sees the pain in my heart as i bleed
no-one feels the noise in my head as my face shows no thought
so so sad that we live in a place where i am not a part of this life this place this town ....time for a future a place i know and love and a woman with me to be my whole to bear my fear to take me and show me the path i so so need ...............

sun so shining yet feeling oh so cold
winter lining still has its hold
teeth that do chatter to shiver through my bones
see my air be breathing ..god its ****** cold
wind that be blowing round my little home
summer hurry up i want it hot not cold

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


sun so shining yet feeling oh so cold
feel the finger of the ice man grappling ..grabbing hold ..
winters lining still out there not giving up the ghost
wanting ,freezing life.. still freeze me to the bone
teeth that do chatter ....no sound that says hello
they click and do clatter no stopping in this cold
see my breath be breathing...crystals in the air
******* warm from in me chilling me i fear
wind doth blow right round me even in my home
get the fire burning oh my god its cold

Ice--- scream Ice--- cream I want more
lots of Fardys gore gore gore ...
stick a flake in.. maybe two
I want Fardys what about you

Saucy sauce ..red or green
running down me old ice cream
lick it quick before it melts
Fardys taste so good it hurts

I scream--- Ice cream ..I want more
bring a Fardys to my door
99's so coming my way ..
Ice cream headache ..joy I say

I could cry my tears away for one kiss from your lips
one touch from your hand ..maybe a hug ....hand in hand
I could hold your smile with a kiss getting tingled so on my lips
my love.. my love.. today

I could call you to call me back maybe meet and have a snack
drink some wine ..snuggle up ...laugh at all our love
I could hold you to hold my heart so that we are never apart
my love...my love ...always

I could cry my tears away
For one kiss from your lips
One touch from your hand
Maybe a hug
Hand in hand
My love

I could hold your smile with a kiss
Getting tingled so
On my lips
cherry soda
My love
My love

I could call you
To call me back
Maybe meet
Have a snack
Drink some wine
Love you back

I could hold you
To hold my heart
So that we are never apart
My love
My love ...always

To cry a little on you
to wipe away my tears
a feeling from your honour
I cry a little sigh

my mind is missing letters
letters you do find
I cry a little something
I love to see you my!!!

I know you think I'm crazy
I love this way you breath
a madness from my tears for you
a simple cry my fear

please hold me in your inner mind
I'll do my best for you
you know i love you madly
I know you love me too

Beer in me head and beer in me soul
maybe I am and maybe its old
say what you like be as you please
dont take the *** when I displease

If only ...i said yes
if only i'd said no
would i be me and you be you
if only i had loved instead one shoved
would i be here ...who would know

if only ...i turned left
would you have seen ..my face so confused
so incomplete
so full of love ..yet full of hate

if only ...you were here
a hug to break..a smile not fake
if only ....my mistake

If only he could see the picture that i see in he
If only he could view that look
His life no more
A deadness on his door

No smile to crack
No looking back on once was is no more
His daily chore to breath
A fight lost in eyes faded to the clouds

What was youth forgotten proof
A childhood dream on heavy shoulders
Now his song until breath all gone
No more hell

Look back on what he become
A life lost
gone for ever more

I have a feeling that just wont go
I want to potter until the no
I want some life that not so worked
I want a future that gives me hope

see my mind as it explores
a futures gone a mind deplored
yet i do nod the ways in front
time to push ye life instore
