Do animals believe in reincarnation
To come back as an army of ant's
And conquer this land as our reclamation

Do dog's wonder who picks up our daily poo
Who walks behind us everyday
And cleans us up all shiny and new

Do birds start to think why we don't ever fly
Just all walking around and driving our cars
Whilst leaving the clouds alone in the sky

I do wonder a lot of things in life as I look up to the sky,
As when I do meet my maker I'll have a list
Number one, please tell me God
As we've always wondered,
Just why, why, why?

JJB

She has her mothers genes
No problem shall block her way
Nothing will stop her achieve
Any task she may see
That focus that she always believes
When you say no
Her answer is yes
A cheeky answer back
Something we may need to address
But her determination is second to none
Puts on that serious face
And then up for fun
Decisions vary as they sit on her fence
Traits to outgrow
But she will always be our,
Little Miss Independence

JJB

In life we need someone to fall back onto
But when those options are gone
With no arms that are strong
We just keep falling
'Till crowd's do mass
To honor our untimely pass
On a Sunday all crowded on the grass
I wasn't ill just sick of it all
There's only so long you can stand so tall
And I'm sorry you were my last phonecall

I still love you though,
As forever,
I now fall
❤

JJB

Looking at planet Earth,
I just wonder why
Over seven billion people,
all with that one last cry
How did we do that in one nuclear war,
Up here now thinking, what was it all for
Time will tell and dust will cool,
once winds have blown the territories
As we depart to regrow those lands,
with one seed, for, those many trees

JJB

If I won the lottery, I'd be a big spend winner 
Flash cars, piano bars, and no doubt a terrible sinner
If I counted every pound I had spent
I'd now be a millionaire without a **** care
If I had asked that girl out at school how would my life be different
Live the life I lived or taken to the cleaners and now be poor and skint
If I had taken up acting would I have been the best James Bond
Surrounded by fame and the pick of any black, brunette or blonde
If I had eaten my veg would I have grown up a little bit taller
Or are these just tales of our parents with dated foods in the cooler
If I hadnt taken time with my trade and learnt on the tools
Instead of spending a pound and winning the pools
If it all just ended now, I think I would be happy
Not in some retirement home, surrounded by sick and adult nappies
If
If
If
If I didnt have such a typing stutter
I could have done something in this time that probably, and really, matters.

JJB

3 months off and what did you do -

Learn Spanish?
Tile the bathroom?
Write that great novel you always said?
Rekindle lost love over the net?
Learn how to bake like the rest of the gang?
Its what we all do, it seems everyone can!

No

No I didn't

I watched box sets on Netflix and just got fat

Proper fat

JJB

If a circle had a corner,
then easily it be found
But that would be like cheating,
Instead of going around and around
The rectangle,
that has a quadrilateral meaning
Two lines of different length,
I now have a sinking feeling
Then onto a square
Not much thought involved, to be fair
Pentagons, hexagons, heptagons
All of different sizes and shapes
Like this planet and its people
The genuine and the fakes
We all shuffle our feet on this Earths floor
Coming together on a daily basis
Our lives in a muddle
A complete Jigsaw

JJB

It's not mine, but I'll let them all know for now,
So don't shout at me like it's mine,
Jeez,
Holy cow

Claiming it's just mindless info,
I'll pass it on in time, now in slow-mo
Don't you know it's got a sell-by-date,
It'll reach you one day, as it's fate

I forget who I was supposed to pass it onto
From hand to hand now written in the ladies cubicle
And to be honest I really couldn't give a **
I'm just sat here as a number man, here, pass the buck

JJB

I can't cry at a human death
Yet ball like a baby at my cats last breath
Nothing stirs my soul if its on the telly
Yet football with one last goal can devour me to my belly
Its not an act to try and look hard
That's just me, myself and I
A complete,
Emotional ****** 😢

JJB

Remember when I could count a lot higher up than you,
When all you had was 30 and I was at 102?

Remember when I stayed up until 10:30pm, with this being a school night,
And now I stumble home from the pub and it's just getting light

Remember when on the toilet reading what was in a bottle of shampoo
Now we read our Facebook while taking that quick poo

Remember when looking for anything that resembled some sort of ****
Now it's in your hands and on your phone, not hidden in dad's shed at the bottom of the lawn

Remember when we drunk that bottle of 20/20, sneakily on the park bench,
Chewing gum and you really hummed, thinking no one could smell your ***** stench

Remember when you told your mum you only cycled to the local shops,
When in reality you just carried on because you didn't want to stop

Remember when eating a bar of chocolate, nothing else would ever really matter,
Now you read the content and what's inside as you don't want to get any fatter

Remember when no one gave two hoots about these sweet little lies,
Now Big Brother watches over us like some silent untrustworthy spy,

Remember when...

JJB

I want to have sash windows
I want to have high ceilings
I want a bedroom with chandeliers
I want to have false feelings
I want a car that I can never afford
I want to watch you cut that cord
I want our kids in a school privately taught
I want to see the Queen, Knight you with her sword
I want to show my parents that I want
sometimes gets
I want to prove that you don't have to be
the teachers pet
I want to fly the world in a millionaires private jet
I want all these things scooped up in one big net
I want an easy life even if its legs akimbo
I want to prove its good even if I'm living in sin though
I want to keep my partner happy, if its for some extra giving

                       As this is all I want,

               I want a life (beyond living)

                                     JJB

Look at all the places that I have been
London where I live, that one, I'm not so keen
But are you not in awe of my well travelled life
Pinned an atlas to the wall and just threw a random knife
Australia, New Zealand and home through L.A.
No magnet in Fiji, just a pic of me and the bay
Getting by on the fragments of lingo
Then the essential call home, but mums normally at the bingo
Not much room left for anymore reminders
But no magnet for the Bermuda Triangle, hmm
And on that strange thought
I will leave you to decipher

JJB

Sometimes I don't think she'll ever know, how much I really love her
The toil, the troubles, the mess I unravel, yet still, she is amazing,
I must concur
Her attention, and not to mention, her time always spent on,
Making sure that all must go well
The lump that I am, she could have thrown in the can, but stayed to make sure I survived
As the big day grew closer, I'm so glad that I chose her, to be my wife and today my bride
For we've been through so much together, and it's certainly been some life
I'm so glad I can say that you are my one,
my only,
My wife
❤️

Thank you Dee X

I seem to build a problem
If easy is one
Then throw me a ten
Not liking a normal life
Stumbling into chaos
It seems to be my bias
Even my daughter asks why I'm in a chair
One night not to be ordinary
Living, without a care
Audre est Facere
To do is to dare
To be reborn from a fresh new fountain
Instead of climbing these heights
These fights
These blights
These mountains  

JJB

The biggest problem we ever have in life is other people.

Believe me.

It's that simple.

JJB

You can see it,
The groupies, the girls, the finest guacamole
All there for the taking
All made by 4 friends who are really phony's

12 tracks fine tuned to almost perfection
Grown men sobbing, at what they are hearing
Only their God could write a better selection

That speeding intro, the slow down, the pick me up with an ending so delicious you could eat it for breakfast,
The London Symphony Orchestra lending their hand, slow down tiger, those searing strings are gonna get you

For this has always been the dream inside this head of mine
Holding back, maybe tomorrow, another day will be the right time

But a dream is a dream and sometimes they'll never come true
I can't even play an instrument, sat here dreaming on the loo
For all this to me is a page that needs writing,
Not by me, but by someone new

The Greatest Album (Never Recorded)

JJB

All my friends support the teams I hate
As I consciously look away,
It's thin ice that I skate
Knowing I'm usually sometimes wrong
Not to concede this tick
A conscious I can live with for long
But that's why we love,
Living with the unknowing
No weakness to concede
Never a side you should be showing
Because I love you darling, that's a fact
We have our subtle differences,
But hey,
That is why
Opposites Attract

JJB

Do animals think of reincarnation
To come back as an army of ants
Or its just us,
The selfish, we want more
Than this two legged, I rule this world,
Sensation 🤔

Who turned the life off here
Nowhere to stop for some food or a beer
Camden Town now silent from life
You look back now, was weirdly quite nice
Big Ben stood silent, no ring of its bell
Has London lost soul, its heart now fell
It needs a poke to wake from this blip
A capital fallen quiet, its just having a kip
Its clouds gather clearly, the skies now replenished
This Earth needed a rest, for its time could soon finish
Let's look after what we have killed, as we all need that break
Our surroundings have just one life, for reality cannot be faked

JJB

That choice you once had and failed to grasp

Love is forever

Life is not

Never let go

Of that one

Memory


JJB

I don't mean to be rude or blunt,
but ship up or ship out,
and stop acting the **!

JJB

Dad always said you're either a MOD or a Rocker
Well after a few years of choosing I decided on the clobber
Pin stripe suit and a nice comfy parka
Not some grease monkey, slicked back hair, who looked like he'd not seen a bath yet
I preferred the music, the beat, the soul
They liked grit, the grind and the ***** rock and roll
And then came the final choice in which world you did bounce
Vespa, Lambretta or a Triumph to ride, unannounced
So did I look the hard nut sat on my BSA
Or do I look like Mr Cool, thinking I'm Mr Ace Face today
Trip's down to Brighton for a fight on the beach
Before having our breakfast at an all you can eat
Those were the days where you could really have a laugh
Then a trip back home, best have my tea and an early bath
Stick on an album by The Faces or The Who
Then up early for work, into town, first Clapham via Waterloo
When nothing too much mattered and the world just seemed easy
Now the odd word out of place sends the offended quite queasy

JJB

It's just you,
the known world has vanished,
abandoned cars with no one to drive,
you thought this day come you would ****** and survive,
but you didn't think it through

I don't even know how to make fresh bread,
swallowing hard all those words you once said,
does petrol not just come from the pumps,
and where will I drive now this world is in slump,
I really didn't think this through

The films all said there would be a beauty on the horizon,
to live my life and carry on surviving,
but these streets are empty and I'm feeling the cold,
for this is a story never to me told,
I need to think this badly through

What foods will carry on forever,
and what to eat now as the date says now or never,
am I really alone in the world and how long can I last,
as this really should be written down, portrayed,
by those in the futures passed

Last Days

JJB

I get...

Flustered
Stressed
Dressed
Impressed
To cry
The Beatles
By

Pull your socks up,
there are better days to come

😁

JJB

Gliding,
Just effortless,
Held up by see-through strings

One day,
will man fly
If God does grace us wings

JJB

Connection......twitching
Perfection........glitching
Direction..........drifting
Momentum......pushing
Reality...............drowning

If it's over, it's over,
there is nothing left to do
Just count your blessings,
say your prayers
Go your separate ways
And know, for the grace of God
It's best,
that you just be you

JJB

We lost each other at a time we both never even noticed
I have no more words to attend
A love that filtered into a friend
Some journeys just come to an end

JJB
