Those without a core
souls unknown even to themselves
flesh and blood that march along the lines
floating on waves like a fish  now sleeping with fishes
unable to know that not all float along with the western winds

In this setting sun and days
lives those who believe Coronation Street is real
do not voice it's celluloid drama or they tell you, you're mad
do not blame for minds not tendered but fed and pastured free range
finds gumption and intrinsic assimilation is but idle pursuit to them

Point and they go, wish is command
sing a love story and to all and sundry it's love forever
acquaintances of different persuasions become Romeo and Juliet
dare give an open honest look and empty minds says you strip them
how does an actress in dialogue show real empathy not there for role

How can planned roles and actions
unreal and plotted to achieve means dastardly ordained
be held as real and accepted as true when drama and chaos is aim
you then see that in a place were realness is a stranger to dim minds
anything is possible and as real as Coronation Street with no cameras

They talk love and have divorces high
noted for humour yet also the highest Depressives count
our word is our bond they say yet lying is abound in guises toned
Real truth is ring fenced and it's just believe what you believe mate
and we'll all believe and who goes out in the midday sun with dogs
