Just what was her last word
A party to celebrate
Surrounded by the herd
The laughs
The sighs
The non-spoken illegal highs
As the last person to close that door
Nobody to catch you
From falling to the floor
Her final cry through the walls of that room
Your last breath encompassed
Within the seal of that balloon

Titles come and go
Some they die, some overthrown
With social media all laid bare
Who would deter the one, self-titled, Spare
But how could that crown now come about
With degradation, with steel,
with backhanded clout
Just who did cut that final, killer cord
To lose the family, from the King down to the Lord
If suspicion did raise its ugly head
How does he sleep at night, in his giant, Palace confirmed bed
But that is a burden that he will forever carry
Now sat on his throne,
the unruly,
the unjust,
no longer a Prince,
King Harry 🤴

We wake up with a dream
Intentions
Ambitions
Ignition

We dig
We plough
We ambitiously row

But that idea you had will fade
From sunlight into the shade
We will all be the jester and never the king
As reality bites
I am nothing

JJB
Unfit to fit the general consensus
Pints with the lads, not living in past tenses
Baggy jeans and a T-Shirt of Joey Ramone
Setting my own path, in my own, made up tones
I'll swear, I'll speed, I won't take the stupid knee
As I don't care if you don't like it, as that is just me
Call me Marmite, call me jam, call me Lemon Curd
Being different is always a pleasure
A bit like being a nerd
Spiked dyed hair and a pair of DM's
I was never a part of the modern trend
Standing out like a sore thumb is nothing I fear
Kebab after work and a nice cool beer
I'm never gonna be part of the 'fit me in' herd
As I my friend will always be
A geezerbird

JJB
Consistently inconsistent
I just don't fit into the system
8 hours a day, faking to pretend
A job that I hate, I'm at my wits end
Looking for distractions, at these four walls
Should have got a trade, something on the tools
So let's keep at it, and dream the day away
As there will always be new horizons, and hope for better days.

Out of Office

JJB
Not having left this land in twenty years
You'd think I'd be happy on home soil
Not watching my daily news
Almost, everyday, holding back my tears
Somehow living in fear
As these Governments wear us down
Speeding into an abyss
Grinding through the wrong gears
For the people that I live with
The country that we now live in
Tragically on a slow decline
From a once Great Britain
Now into a perilous time
Homesick

Donovan's Reef
Prefer a bit of **** and Keef.
John Wayne's not the man for me
Old school movie
Let's listen to something groovy
Jackson 5 down to a tee
I'm an easy man, nothing to daunting
Relaxing with a nice cold beer
A life with no drama, a day not haunting
TV on mute, feet up, time to unload
Phone off, curtains closed,
set body to flight mode

Laters...
