Its been a long night
The ones you fancied have left in fright
Anything'll do now
A fat one,
A badly dressed one,
A four kids at 22 one,
A Mackie Dees for breakfast one,
A ITV2 is my favourite channel one,
I just need reassurance and some fake love
Enough to just top me up
To keep me going from the break up I never saw coming
For this is now a kingdom with no rule,
So my love,

Get your coat (you've pulled).

She plucked hibiscus flower
And put it on her ear,
She laugh boisterously and
Even dance with the raindrops.

But dear, have you seen the sadness tucked in her eyes?

You'll see the brightest star

Wounded by her subtle battle.

he dug my grave,
you kicked me in it.

you're both to blame
One day, you're one step forward,
Two steps back.
You wonder if you'll ever be on the right track.
The next day, you're three steps ahead
Of everyone else
And you start to feel proud of yourself.
Every day is different.
But that's what makes it so exciting.
Roll with the punches,
And you'll come out bright as lightning

jer
Once when I was drunk
I held my hand to a flame
And it didn’t hurt
You looked away
As I stared into your soul
Peeling back the layers
As far as they can go
Searching for your inner you
The you that you control
Waiting for the answer
That only you could know
Like a flailing human torso
Swaying to and fro
A natural born disaster
With a shiny bow
