Reality Bites

Pinned to the spot not able to move

Like a record needle stuck in a groove

Is it a dream or maybe real

My minds screaming " Its not Ideal"

What's that sound? What could it be?

Maybe I should go and see

I'm done with these feelings of immediate dread

something of nothing or all in my head

Oh what a fool I am on this night

Dreaming of terror reality Bites

Something is happening

and don't seem right

but maybe just maybe

 Its prankster night

I'll wait and listen for that sound again

Unexplained driving me insane

What is it that roots me to this spot?

A little scary  and just wont stop

I'm done with these feelings of immediate dread

something of nothing or all in my head

Oh what a fool I am on this night

Dreaming of terror reality Bites

My search for truth and reason could be

Simple to fathom quite easily

After checking windows locks and doors

 I crawl to bed on all fours

Trying to figure what it could be

The answer obviously not coming to me

The only way out is to open my mind

Then this way I will surely find

As opening doors is surely unsafe

And will surely test my human faith

I take a peak from my window as still unsure

Jumping to a creak from the bedroom door

I'm done with these feelings of immediate dread

something of nothing or all in my head

Oh what a fool I am on this night

Dreaming of terror reality Bites

A noise in the background filters through

Is it something eerily coming to

My search for truth and could it be

Literally My own Tv?

Time to be brave and take it from Me

Its hard to imagine of what will be

My sanctuary is where I'm feeling safe

My Bedroom quilt not going to waste

I'm done with these feelings of immediate dread

something of nothing or all in my head

Oh what a fool I am on this night

Dreaming of terror reality Bites

Running away wont make you proud

So here is the question and hear it loud 

Who goes there? and making that sound?

Show yourself or I'll release my hound

Is it something spooky or nothing at all

I block the entrance with a stool

The just like that " It occurs to Me"

Its Literally just My own Tv?

Reality Bites and never taste good

Relax and touch a piece of wood 

All is calm  overcome your grief

The Tv goes off a sigh of relief.

I'm done with these feelings of immediate dread

something of nothing or all in my head

Oh what a fool I am on this night

Dreaming of terror reality Bites

Costa Del Dance

 The Dancers are set and enter the stage

With Song and Dance out to amaze

Us and You they will fill with joy

Filling the hearts of every girl and boy

Paradise is only half as nice

as the heaven that you take me to

We hope to go on for ever and ever

On summer breaks just Me and You

The troupe start to dance with partners in tune

They move to the sound of The Moulin Rouge

Followed by Roxanne by the police

Its mesmerizing a grand showpiece

The lighting and mood changes the play

Italian opera a Ballet displayed

Keeping the audience fully engaged

People listen bewitched and amazed

Paradise is only half as nice

as the heaven that you take me to

We hope to go on for ever and ever

On summer breaks just Me and You

In costume of white with Sapphire Blue Twist

The last dance of the evening hard to resist

A Disney classic Jasmin and Aladdin

Performed with dance and choreographing

The curtain comes down to pleasant applause

It dies down around the soft sea shore

All you could hear was the sound of the waves

Reminding us of our day at the caves

Paradise is only half as nice

as the heaven that you take me to

We hope to go on for ever and ever

On summer breaks just Me and You

We go back to the Room

settle in for the night

Knowing tomorrow will be just as bright

As every day we bathe in sunlight

Planning walks along the Beach

Beautiful palms just out of reach

Back home on Friday as our holiday ends

But the positive is we have the weekend.

Next year we hope to see another show

In our dream hotel on the costa-del-sol

Paradise is only half as nice

as the heaven that you take me to

We hope to go on for ever and ever

On summer breaks just Me and You

Ready to rock

" Lets take a trip"

Where should we go?

Uptown or to a late picture show?

I'm in a tizzy "Not sure what to do"

But I'm guessing you have some kind of clue? 

Staying out late could be on the cards

We gonna dance and party oh so hard

Ready to rock " I hope you are too"

Turn up the Music take off your shoe

Cant see no point of staying in

Lets roll the dice on where to begin

A quick phone call could be the answer

Are you up for anything " Yes! followed laughter"

I'll start the car "Be at yours in a trice"

We could end up somewhere nice

Wont be long give me a minute

I promise not to break the speed limit

Staying out late could be on the cards

We gonna dance and party oh so hard

Ready to rock " I hope you are too"

Turn up the Music take off your shoe

Enjoying ourselves yeah our own company

Going places just you and me

Dressed up winter coat pashmina and boots

With you looking cool in pin stripe suit

Up and ready for a mystery ride

Life feels so good with nothing to hide

I'm parking outside so put down the phone

Leave a note " You might not get home

Staying out late could be on the cards

We gonna dance and party oh so hard

Ready to rock " I hope you are too"

Turn up the Music take off your shoe

Dance all the way from here to L.A

Jive all night let the juke box play

Its a fabulous night lets enjoy together

Feeling so good in warm summer weather

Days of old and out come the stories

As we reminisce of days of past glory

Staying out late could be on the cards

We gonna dance and party oh so hard

Ready to rock " I hope you are too"

Turn up the Music take off your shoe

It don't matter where we go 

Come rain or shine or even deep snow

We always will hit those dizzy heights

When we escape for one of those nights

We could pass each other like ships in the night

But still  have passion behind the cars headlights

Will we make it back

You know we just might

Or maybe throw the dice and stay out all night

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah why not

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah what time you got?

Glam Rock King

 You were the Main Man Yes you were Yes you were Yes you were

Your people were fair with sky in their hair

And always content to paint stars on a cheek

Maybe our Prophet seers and sages

sent you to us by angels of ages

Did you ride in upon a Unicorn?

Upon a white swan were you born

The press they called You The Glam Rock King

Rocking out at the Lyceum

There was a time in dark Swans down

When the King of the mountain cometh around

To Boogie and bop to Cosmic Rock

Your compadre Steve looked a little weird

With mangled hair and stars in his beard

Why did you shorten your band name to a T

Tyrannosaurus suited thee

Maybe you thought that it looked better 

When printed on a Glitter dusted sweater

You pushed the pedal and became the man

The first of many whom were so Glam

The press they called You The Glam Rock King

Rocking out at the Lyceum

There was a time in dark Swans down

When the King of the mountain cometh around

The blues in you then came into view

Getting it on with Hot love too

My favorite Time and maybe yours

When your lyrics changed to include Cars

The sound of the Sax and Flugel Horn

Flo and Eddie keeping it warm

Tony Visconti Pulling strings and some

Life was a gas under a Mambo Sun

The press they called You The Glam Rock King

Rocking out at the Lyceum

There was a time in dark Swans down

Taking no prisoners Banging Your Gong 

Jeepster Followed Get it on

Telegram Sam turned up the Heat

Metal Guru with blistering Beat

The Period between seventy and Seventy Four

The best in life I wanted more

The Wax company doing it for Me

For I was a child born to Boogie

I was nothing but a T,REX Tramp! I was nothing but a T.REX Tramp!

Tuned in and turning up my amp

I was nothing but a T,REX Tramp! I was nothing but a T.REX Tramp!

Tuned in and turning up my amp

The press they called You The Glam Rock King

Rocking out at the Lyceum

There was a time in dark Swans down

When the King of the mountain cometh around

I was nothing but a cosmic child

Bolan was Mystic and I grew wild

Didn't ever think that he would leave Me

There was a time twentieth Century

I was nothing but a Cosmic Child

Bolan was Mystic and I grew wild

Didn't ever think that he would leave Me

There was a time Twentieth Century

The press they called You The Glam Rock King

Rocking out at the Lyceum

There was a time in dark Swans down

When the King of the mountain cometh around

Keeping The Peace

 Have you ever wanted to make yourself small

Unseen like a spider above in the hall

Your mind just blank nothing to store

Your purpose to be totally ignored

Being introverted Holding on to the Night

Not wishing to talk you don't have the fight

Never strong enough to spit out the words

So cowering away like a caged bird

I am too nice" That kind of person"

My mood stays the same and never to worsen

I will agree with you then bite my tongue

Been this way since I were young

The words are there but never come out

But stay in your brain forever no doubt

I don't really know why I have always been cursed

Living with this affliction ever since birth

Through thick and thin I have heard it all

But never reacting even at school

Just me I guess so easy going

You have to believe " I'm really more knowing"

I am too nice" That kind of person"

My mood stays the same and never to worsen

I will agree with you then bite my tongue

Been this way since I were young

Feeling insecure and afraid

My anxiety takes hold and displays

The Cellophane in front of my eyes

Clear as day " I cant even lie"

I am too nice" That kind of person"

My mood stays the same and never to worsen

I will agree with you then bite my tongue

Been this way since I were young

Born to be mostly alone

In a small dark place on my own

Torment and people in crowded places

Makes me hot while my heart races

I cannot control how others perceive me

After all I am just only Me

Too old now set in my ways

But tomorrow is another day

A while ago when I left Home

For all the wrong reasons I wished to roam

Get away from what seemed to me

An institute of mentality

I am too nice" That kind of person"

My mood stays the same and never to worsen

I will agree with you then bite my tongue

Been this way since I were young

I have now found my Soulmate

But even now I hesitate

To speak my mind on how I find

I would have brought my mind but left it behind

Still the old version of trying to please

everyone else while keeping the peace.

I am hoping before I die

I find my voice and never more cry

For keeping inside what I want to say

Isn't right and not the best way

I will sit at home and maybe will find

One day stand up and speak my mind.

I am too nice I am Too nice

I told You once wont tell you twice

Have you ever wanted to make yourself small

Unseen like a spider above in the hall?

Teenage Tramp

 My Teenage years were so rewarding

Looking back on so many friends

No photo's no video no recording

To look back on share or defend

The Bonneys  were poor but rich in real life

 Realization cut like a knife

 Truthful  honest, Just two nice guys

Bermondsey  perfect I'll tell you no lie

I used the late night café at the Blue

Surrounded by people who looked out for You

A different life to anything known

when being the Rebel  in a broken home

Ride a white swan was given to me

A gift from a beauty on my birthday

This started a chain of a fabulous time

T, Rex were my Band and the music sublime

Every track that I heard

Gave me reason to live

Bolan was magic with wonder to give

Every move every gesture every word

Left me Happy and rest assured

That life had new meaning

The Slider was king

The Ballroom of Mars doing my thing

I  banged along to Get It On

With Debora could not go wrong

Telegram Sam became the Main Man

Jeepster soon arrived bringing more fans

Metal guru Cars and love

This was pure heaven a gift from above

The children joined in the revolution

Bolan boogie the wild solution

For all my problems and criminal intent

Truck on Tyke You had my consent

Everything after Twentieth century boy

Was always to be a time of pure joy.

Solid gold Easy Action The Groover screams for reaction

I loved loved loved loved loved the light

of love it made me feel so right

Oh Venus loon that was such a tune

 As we lived upon a Crimson Moon

I would have not made it through

 without the Seventies " How about You"?

You were our main man a bright shiny star

The idol whom rocked with chrome Sitar.

Turn up the V, Turn up the Amp

Cuz you aint nothing but a raw ramp

I aint nothing but a T.REX  tramp  You aint Nothing but a Raw Ramp

I aint nothing but a T.REX  tramp 

Turn up the Vee Ramp  up the Amp.

Yeah! Turn up the Vee You T .REX Tramp

Detective Dreams

 Watching Detectives on my screen

May help me with my latest dream

Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple

Sifting through the Homicidal

Placing people in a certain order

Of where they were at the time of Murder

Scrutinizing Evidence

The motif surely Inheritance

I really need to analyze

of what went on behind my eyes

The dream I had that seemed surreal

Was it deadly or no big deal

Watching Detectives on my screen

May help me with my latest dream

Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple

Sifting through the Homicidal

I can't explain or truly express

Why I feel so down and dammed depressed

My body hurts and my mind too

Will Sherlock help me find the clue

Watching Miss Marple and her thoughts

on the body found on the Tennis Court

Blood red on his back where the knife still lurks

Fingerprints so vital for the detective experts

Watching Detectives on my screen

May help me with my latest dream

Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple

Sifting through the Homicidal

Watching Detectives on my screen

May one day help solve the dream

The One I had while I slept

The fatal blow when I just wept

But dreams it seems do sometimes lie

As Sherlock finds no alibi

Miss Marple had too finally agree

Turned off my dream and made the tea.

 Watching Detectives on my screen

May help me with my latest dream 

Watching Detectives on my screen

May help me with my latest dream

Wake me from my latest dream

Dream on Dream on dream on and dream.
