Knight And The Queen

 A heavenly star came into view

I took my place and waited for you

The Moon was shining over the lake

The Gentle petal of a Rose Escapes

Two hearts beating in rhythm as one

Blue blood runs through my veins and bone

You are My Hero" Not Royal but true

So trust me Knight as I trust in You

Our Love that words could never tell

Beguiled under a witches spell

Our true love destined to fail

We must part and sever this tale

We have shared love but still feel lost

If caught tonight "A bitter cost"

So tonight while the stars surround

Hush my love " Don't make a sound"

 

"As tomorrow I'll be crowned the Queen

And on oath I have never been

In love with no one but My King

A lie but better than cause a scene"

Our Love that words could never tell

Beguiled under a witches spell

Our true love destined to fail

We must part and sever this tale

The life we wanted now not to be

But Your My knight so protect me

My Duty bound is sworn on oath

 The magic imagined may help us both

I will to the people be loyal and true

"My heart My Knight belongs to You"

You are My Hero" Not Royal but true

So trust me Knight as I trust in You

Make tonight not one of sorrow

But one to remember for all Tomorrows

Make tonight our last bequest

A final kiss no more no less

I will to the people be loyal and true

"My heart My Knight belongs to You"

We have shared love but still feel lost

If caught tonight "A bitter cost"

Our Love that words could never tell

Beguiled under a witches spell

Our true love destined to fail

We must part and sever this tale

So tonight while stars that surround

Hush my love " Don't make a sound"

 

As tomorrow I will be crowned Queen

And on oath I have never been

In love with no one but My King

A lie but better than to cause a scene

The life we wanted now not to be

But Your My knight so protect me

My Duty bound is sworn on oath

But The magic imagined may help us both

Our Love that words could never tell

Beguiled under a witches spell

Our true love destined to fail

We must part and sever this tale

Make tonight not one of sorrow

But one to remember for all Tomorrows

Make tonight our last bequest

A final kiss no more no less

I will to the people be loyal and true

"My heart My Knight belongs to You"

Memories that set Me free

 I don't need no I tunes

 Songs are in my head

 don't require an I pad

 got my records instead

Music has always been for me

The memory that always sets me free

45s were always bought

 Bands and gigs forever sort

I am nothing like the youth today

Music downloads the only way

They know nothing of real rock n roll

And never will if truth be told

If they were lucky enough to have had

A rebel mum or Hippie Grandad

Then they will know that Music can

Take you to a place a Magic land

Music has always been for me

The memory that sets me free

45s were always bought

 Bands and gigs forever sort

Armed with singles and L.Ps

A party atmosphere the place to be

Showing off your latest songs

Asking The D.J to put them on

Record players would spin that disc

Turn up the V as we insist

The louder you play your Rock n Roll

Will blow your mind and soothe your soul

Music has always been for me

The memory that sets me free

45s were always bought

 Bands and gigs forever sort

Every week every penny that I earned

didn't get saved as always burned

In the local Sounds and record store

Ran out of dough but wanted more

Our record collections were part of us

Not just loved but with pure lust

For what we heard on the radio

The Top Forty our favorite show

Music has always been for me

The memory that sets me free

45s were always bought

 Bands and gigs forever sort

The count down from 40 to 1

Was recorded on tape and such great fun

Next Sunday yeah the same again

Fluff Freeman greets  not arf my friend

I notice a difference with kids today

They hate intro's so just play

Nothing with craft or build up

The attention span has had enough

I would hate to be young and miss out today

I'm 70 now and will always say

I love a 3 minute song or long plays

The sounds that Rocked my yesterday

Rocking out to my yesterdays

The Beatles The Stones and Purple Haze

Rocking out to the tracks of My years

The Juke Box the best with a cool beer

I don't need no I tunes

 Songs are in my head

 don't require an I pad

 got my records instead

Songs I used to sing.

 Not realizing My heart was breaking

The sound of silence the night was making

A lonely feeling empty alone

My shadow behind me cast in stone

So for now I'll drink to absent friends

and for one moment try to pretend

The songs I hear that are so blue

Are songs I used to sing with you

I never thought before tonight

 I was living a lie and would need to fight

All my days of feeling so proud

Keeping feelings hidden never saying out loud

Every song I hear on the Radio

Is telling me things I already know

Lyrics so true and words unsaid

The same old lines " The ones I dread"

So for now I'll drink to absent friends

and for one moment try to pretend

The songs I hear that are so blue

Are songs I used to sing with you

I lay down every time you play

The Same old tunes without delay

Another hour without your love

Lost in a world where push comes to shove

Write me a song forgiving me

 sit right down and sing it just for me

Sing me a line the way you do

under the willow for just us two

So for now I'll drink to absent friends

and for one moment try to pretend

The songs I hear that are so blue

Are songs I used to sing with you

I hope one day my heart will be

one more step toward a better story

I'm tired of singing the same old song

The radio plays for far too long

The songs of life that seem unfair

I wonder if you even really care

So for now I'll drink to absent friends

and for one moment try to pretend

The songs I hear that are so blue

Are songs I used to sing with you

So the lonely silence of the night

My shadow cast against the light

 forgive me forever in a song my friend

My soul is yours to the bitter end

So for now I'll drink to absent friends

and for one moment try to pretend

The songs I hear that are so blue

Are songs I used to sing with you

The songs I hear that are so blue

Are songs I used to sing with you

The songs I hear that are so blue

Are songs I used to sing with you

I'll sing for you yeah sing for you

The songs I hear that are so blue

Meant To Be

 I remember the flowers you held

The scent of perfume the way that they smelled

You requested that I walk out with you

Two sweethearts maybe forever true

Your Heart was beating ever so fast

I was remembering a time from my past

I was younger then and didn't understand

That Boys were likely to bury heads in the sand

You invited Me to the local dance

Not really expecting to have a chance

Maybe a slight hope of  romance perchance

Dates are so rare like a moment or glance

My Heart was beating ever so fast

I was remembering a time from my past

I was younger then and felt so free

My spirit uplifted " We were meant to be"

You were quite shocked when I answered yes

You almost tripped on my doorstep

I laughed out loud when you nearly fell

But I was so pleased" I hoped you could tell"

The days went so slow and I could not wait

You promised to meet but turned up so late

Did we agree to meet at mine

Or did I forget the place and the time

My Heart was beating ever so fast

I was remembering a time from my past

I was younger then and felt so free

My spirit uplifted " We were meant to be"

I could not remember " I feel such a fool

But now that your here every things cool

Heading out hand in hand

Outside the venue we could hear the band

Feeling so good in My new dress

This is how I dreamed and planned it I guess 

You left me alone to fetch us a drink

A little unsure I started to think

I hope you come back to hold my hand

Just like my dream and the magic I planned

My Heart was beating ever so fast

I was remembering a time from my past

I was younger then and felt so free

My spirit uplifted " We were meant to be"

We danced all night and had a great time

We really clicked and love was a sign

Making our way to the dance hall door

After dancing and kissing we just wanted more

We planned to see each other again

This was for ever and not just as friends

We will grow old together my love

Flying high like two turtle doves

My Heart was beating ever so fast

I was remembering a time from my past

I was younger then and felt so free

My spirit uplifted " We were meant to be"

Across the vast electric blue sky

Then fly away with a last goodbye

My Heart was beating ever so fast

I was remembering a time from my past

I was younger then and felt so free

My spirit uplifted " We were meant to be"

Broken Promises

 Why did you go and brake that promise

The one that we sealed with a kiss

Why did you fail to keep that secret

Could you not just keep it just a little bit

You didn't need to break my heart

That promise was yours to keep right from the start

The secrets out and I was sure

You would keep it closed for evermore

You could not sing it any louder for sure

Why don't you broadcast it once more

Better still wait for the crowd to shout aloud

And come back for an encore

Why did you go and brake that promise

The one that we sealed with a kiss

Why did you fail to keep that secret

Could you not just keep it just a little bit

You didn't need to break my heart

That promise was yours to keep right from the start

The secrets out and I was sure

You would keep it closed for evermore

Do you think Its cool?  to poison and lie

To watch me suffer and every day  cry?

I thought that you were genuine

But now I know your full of sin

You didn't need to break my heart

 False promises right from the start

The secrets out and I was sure

You'd keep it closed for evermore

I never wished to start an affair

And Now I see you didn't care

You were just out to have your fun

Not just with me but anyone

I should never have been so blind

You seemed so innocent and kind

You didn't need to break my heart

That promise was yours to keep right from the start

The secrets out and I was sure

You would keep it closed for evermore

I took it for granted you felt the same

 The secrets out I know your name

What was the point of pursuing me

I was happy and oh so free

You swore your life and crossed your heart

You reeled me in right from the start

It didn't take long for you to break

My heart and anything you could take

You didn't need to break my heart

That promise was yours to keep right from the start

The secrets out and I was sure

You would keep it closed for evermore

You took possessions, My body and soul

You left Me Homeless out in the cold

Its hard for me to forgive and forget

Just want to drown my sorrows with my regret

Of ever meeting and falling for You

You broke that promise " Didn't You"

You Broke that Promise " I trusted You"

You broke that promise " Didn't You"

You Broke that Promise " I trusted You"

Couldn't keep a secret 

why did you have to lie

You Broke that promise " all I do is cry "

Did You Ever

Did You ever play a beat up Guitar?

Did You ever drive a Second Hand Car?

Did You ever get To sing The Blues?

Did The Tax Man tell ya to pay your dues?

Did You ever get hit and did it bruise

If you laughed it off "You've nothing to lose"

Did you ever crash on a Motorbike?

Did you ever get to choose the drink you like?

Were You ever arrested for stealing sweets?

Were You ever mugged on your Hometown streets?

Did You ever get hit and did it bruise?

If you laughed it off "You've nothing to lose"

Did You ever go quietly or throw a fit?

Did you stand up again when told to sit?

Were You the one who laughed out loud?

Were you still lonely while stood in a crowd?

Did You ever get a shock while blowing a fuse?

If you laughed it off "You've nothing to lose"

Did you ever tell your mother to go and  get lost?

Pretend to the Wife that You were the Boss?

Did You ever have to lie about the cost?

Or Find something Special? your Sister had lost

There aint much more that I can say

Staying up all night and sleeping all day

Its my life " I'll do whatever I choose"

Laughing it off as got nothing to lose

Did You ever get a shock while blowing a fuse

If you laughed it off "You've nothing to lose"

Just remember one day that you will be old

with time to reflect on what You were told

Don't wait to get hit" Just take that cruise"

Suck it up "You have nothing to lose

Did You ever play a beat up Guitar?

Did You ever drive a Second Hand Car?

Did You ever get To sing The Blues?

Did The Tax Man tell ya to pay your dues?

Did You ever get hit and did it bruise

If you laughed it off "You've nothing to lose"

Nothin to lose nothin to lose

While walking the dog and taking in bad news

Nothin to lose nothin to lose

No excuse Yeah nothing to lose

Just take the blame with no excuse

No excuse No excuse

Just laugh it off  "Nothing to lose"

I have scant regard for anything less

Than Rocking out and looking my best

If You ever have to settle for less

Just Laugh it off Yeah be my guest
