“Good Old U.K.”

The sky is gray
And the valley is green

Over meadows of clover
In the fields of Dover

From cliffs of white
To Irish bar fights

Theres no other place
With such a wonderful face

The people who stood
And symbolized good

Through past and present
Seeing a future so pleasant

We will see it someday
That good old U.K.

Her cities and streets
And towering feats

Back down to the lowest
Old village thats slowest

“Written Pictures”

Books she wrote
To hear her thoughts

Like storms blew strong
Through the stories so long

With brush and stroke
And pictured smoke

Spoke to all
In verse and call

Since sorrows are bold
And the pain was old

Her words showed truth
Most painful to youth

Now lend your ear
And you will hear

The colors of our world
In her hands twisted and swirled

To make us see
All we could ever be

“Dearest Friend”

Friends will come and friends will go

They are rare as diamonds in the snow

Hold them tight till love do you part

To let them change and bloom and grow

Love them now and love them then

Your dear dear oh dearest friend

Memories held dear are worth many a tear

But dwell not long lest they turn to fear

For love is strong and often kind

Though still it burns so often blind

We do not know how fast it goes

As it never leaves behind any foes

So look not back nor left and right

I’ll hold your hand through the darkest night

“Trip”

I want to be great
You want to be grand

You appreciate me
When i can't really see

The hope in my heart
Cause i'm not nearly as smart

As you with your shyness
And amazingly long silence

But Ferdinand my friend
I don't often tend

To think these things through
So i’ll just say it to you

You confuse so thoroughly
That I can’t really tell

Whether i’m flying for you
Or simply falling with style

“Turn Up”

When your strength is gone
All your rights turn to wrong

When the world is burning
And seems to stop turning

He will turn up to give us hope
For all he loves is left with us

The good he sees and the bad he hates
But without one we cannot have the other

As what is left is so much good
And all we see is so much loss

Let the hope rekindle
In our hearts stone cold

And let the light grow bright
As life again shows through

“Revenge”

Deny me my fight
And i'll give you what is right

I may have done wrong
By ending your time

Though it ends now
Your time has ended with mine

“Lying the Truth”

The loneliest souls
Have fought the hardest wars

An the darkest sight
Has seen the brightest light

No one is happy forever
But everyone is lonely together

Forgive me when i'm cruel
For I alone am the fool

All this is true
As I write only to you
