Double Trouble

 Remembering back when we were young

 Looking innocent and having fun

Taught good manners , pleasant and petite

Just 2 good girls oh so sweet

People would pass by and say 

"Hey little girls" Have a nice day

Never really seeing the devils underneath

We were smiling away while gritting our teeth 

We had a few ideas for a sassy friend
Whom loved to bully so we had to defend
She spread those rumors in the class and halls
We taught her the biggest lesson of all

We were double trouble in every single way
From clashing with the teachers to sourcing new prey
Whoever started an argument with the two of us
Had to be careful to not swear or cuss

People would pass by and say 

"Hey little girls" Have a nice day

Never really seeing the devils underneath

We were smiling away while gritting our teeth 

We had a lot of fun as the years rolled on
Fooling everybody was such an easy con
I was her and she was Me 

"Boys joined in but nothing was free

She was nice to our boyfriends and I was really mean

It soon turned out they were never that keen

Finding out quicker than a lightning strike

Which one they hated and the one they liked

People would pass by and say 

"Hey little girls" Have a nice day

Never really seeing the devils underneath

We were smiling away while gritting our teeth 

We knew each other oh so well 

Together Daily casting those spells
We finished each other’s sentences,

Oh So many resemblances

Our parents treated us like works of art

Couldn’t tell us both apart
We were born as twins just a minute apart

Identical from the very start.

People would pass by and say 

"Hey little girls" Have a nice day

Never really seeing the devils underneath

We were smiling away while gritting our teeth 

We’ve grown up now and we share a true bond
We talk every day sharing laughter and songs
Living as neighbors not worlds apart

Loving each other within our hearts

Further From The Truth

 Lets take a trip down memory lane

A time when no one ever chased fame

When we all just quietly got on with our day

Not filming for strangers as nothing to say

I did not influence anyone but my kids

I never sold anything as no one to bid

The internet not invented, was a world away

The only computer a teleprompter I'd say

People today would interrupt to say

Your kidding me "No way No way"

But I kid you not my future world friend

We were further from the truth but you are the end

It looked like a typewriter attached to a screen

The football results never missed a team

Grandstand was sport and sport was our way

Of watching the wrestling and racing all day

The snooker we watched in black and white

The audience blacked out " and only one light"

Getting down to the colors never no fun

The same shade of grey blended into one

People today would interrupt to say

Your kidding me "No way No way"

But I kid you not my future world friend

We were further from the truth but you are the end

In 69 we watched the men on the Moon

Color Tv could be a thing soon

No mobiles no phones no washing machines

But Spacemen were real or so it seems

We lived in prefabs made from wood

Freezing cold yeah just no good

Never heard of video " This'll make you laugh

No one had a shower just a small tin bath

People today would interrupt to say

Your kidding me "No way No way"

But I kid you not my future world friend

We were further from the truth but you are the end

Riding Red Rover was the best day out

Bob a job with cubs "What was that about"

The Brownies the scouts, Red Cross, St Johns

Got you into the footie " You couldn't go wrong

If you don't believe me look it up

Even England won the Footie world cup

"Yeah I know" I know it seems far fetched

Google it "Your mind will be stretched"

People today would interrupt to say

Your kidding me "No way No way"

But I kid you not my future world friend

We were further from the truth but you are the end

 

Blue Eyes

 Hello, I know we just met yesterday

Sorry what is your name" I just meant to say

We were part of a crowd and I should have asked

But spent all night making others laugh

But if I had taken a little more time

I would maybe have given some kinda sign 

Can I be forward and make a suggestion

“Can we meet up soon, or is that out of the question?”

I think maybe you’re a little shy

But you brushed by me and caught my eye

"I can’t stop" Still thinking of you

Your beautiful smile and those eyes so blue.

Maybe a date at the bowling arcade

We could maybe enjoy a nice lemonade

Or you might prefer to go to the flicks

Where we can feast on sweet pick’ n ‘mix

I think maybe you’re a little shy

But you brushed by me and caught my eye

"I can’t stop" Still thinking of you

Your beautiful smile and those eyes so blue.

We’ve only just met but I’m sure glad that we did

“Please don’t think me to forward", heaven forbid!”

I’m burning up with sweet desire

Meeting you set my heart on fire

If your not busy and at a loose end

Would you walk with me up the wild West End

We could take in a show then I’ll take you home

Know your safe wherever we roam

I think maybe you’re a little shy

But you brushed by me and caught my eye

"I can’t stop" Still thinking of you

Your beautiful smile and those eyes so blue.

You don’t have to worry, if you’re a little unsure

I'm a nice guy "my intentions are real pure"

I’ll treat you with kindness and the upmost care

While enjoying the date with laughter to spare

I think maybe you’re a little shy

But you brushed by me and caught my eye

"I can’t stop" Still thinking of you

Your beautiful smile and those eyes so blue.

Hello, I know we just met yesterday

I know you now and I love your name"

We were part of a crowd and its not polite

Glad of our date and being with you tonight

Grip on Tight

If you convert my cat with a little less pain

I wont lose grease on my link or chain

Could you fix the puncture on my nearside rear

Would you pour me a shandy bitter lemon beer

Things I may have said many moons ago

When my manifold was just about to blow

Maybe change a valve or repair my heart

My plugs are not sparking, I need a spare part

I take my oil nice and thick

I grip on tight when sitting on slicks

My customized hood moving side to side

A racing girl enjoying my ride

I liken myself to second hand cars

A Hillman Minx once a Jaguar

A 2 door saloon not the public bar

Riding in style like a rodeo star

I have been known to put my foot to the floor

My pedal to the metal " Are you keeping score"?

Loving American stars and bars

Racing that Dodge, eating Hershey bars

I take my oil nice and thick

I grip on tight when sitting on slicks

My customized hood moving side to side

A racing girl enjoying my ride

Cranking up the heavy speedway sound

Blowing a fuse while hitting the ground

Playing along to custom car blues

Slow riding in blue suede boots

Racing along the open road

Wheel and tyre overload 

Releasing that rubber when breaking to skid

The wind in my hair with no crash lid

I take my oil nice and thick

I grip on tight when sitting on slicks

My customized hood moving side to side

A racing girl enjoying my ride

Torch that turbo, relax and cruise

Take the short cut, nothing to loose

Cut the corner going into a bend

Leaving Michelin marks and a sticky end

I love my oil nice and thick

Yeah grip on tight when sitting on slicks

My customized hood moving side to side

A racing girl enjoying the ride

Exhilarate, before you hesitate 

" My mama says "don't stay out late"

So on with the throttle and radio

Playing Z Z Top sharp dressed bro

Yeah take my oil nice and thick

I grip on tight when sitting on slicks

A racy girl just enjoying the ride

My customized hood moving side to side

I love your oil nice and thick

Gripping on tight while nice and slick

My customized hood moving side to side

A racey girl just enjoying her ride

You're the only one( Who knows the real me)

 I sat down at my desk with purpose today

With every intention to write you to say

I wish that we had more time together

I thought we were destined to live forever.

Seeing you leave just turned my life so blue

When you said goodbye, my heart left too

I need you here, don't want to be free

Your the only one who knows the real me

The roses You bought now in full bloom

Sending sweet thoughts and love through my room

I’m looking out at this mornings bright sun

"Hope it’s shining for you and your missions soon done" 

The garden swing hangs silent since you’ve been gone

How we’d cuddle together, every summer so long

Everything is empty and I'm missing you

I wish you were here" Not with the chosen few"

Seeing you leave just turned my life so blue

When you said goodbye, my heart left too

I need you here, don't want to be free

Your the only one who knows the real me

I hate the war that made you join up and leave

It chokes my emotion" I can hardly breath

I miss your voice, those songs you sing

You are my rock, My one true king

I believe in your magic, cannot get enough

Tenderness could turn into words so tough

Dreaming the days away not sleeping in bed

Thoughts of you and all that you said

I’m wishing and hoping you come back soon

I find it so hard while you’re with the platoon

Seeing you leave just turned my life so blue

When you said goodbye, my heart left too

I need you here, don't want to be free

Your the only one who knows the real me

I watched from the window as the mailman appeared

My Tea cup shaking as he neared

He rang the bell I didn't hesitate , opened the door to hear of my fate

My heart skipped a beat, My body felt numb

Fearing this moment would one day come

The feeling I felt as I was handed the post

When excepting the mail " white as a ghost

 

The postmark and stamp from military

Sent three weeks ago " I dropped to my knee's

With a smile on my face " and a tear in my eye

Your on your way home " I said with a sigh"

Seeing you leave just turned my life so blue

When you said goodbye, my heart left too

I need you here, don't want to be free

Your the only one who knows the real me
