Dragon Knights

 Once upon a time in days of old

The maids were pretty and there knight so bold

Maidens would swoon when he came in to view He was focused and ready for his debut He always noticed the row of maidens But had just one single declaration To slay the dragon in the far away land And come back to claim the princesses hand

It came to pass both night and day
The Dragon kept his love at Bay
His true appearance and real life hidden
From The The Kingdom forever now forbidden So off he rode on his brave journey The princess thought him almost worthy Her heart belonged to one who was cursed The dragon, the knights new quest and thirst When a sudden fear hit her heart Did the knight know where to start? She knew the dragon once long ago He wasn’t bad , he was once her beau
It came to pass both night and day
The Dragon kept his love at Bay
His true appearance and real life hidden
From The The Kingdom forever now forbidden
While the princess paced around The knight was tracking the dragon down He wandered near and far away Not knowing where the dragon lay The princess saddled up her mare And hoped she’d find her beau somewhere She hurried near and far away Not giving the Knight a chance to slay

It came to pass both night and day
The Dragon kept his love at Bay
His true appearance and real life hidden
From The The Kingdom forever now forbidden
Surrender knight the dragon roared Do it now you have been Warned The brave knight fought with shield and sword Not knowing the dragon could transform The knight fought hard to no avail He had to give up he knew he had failed Just then the princess joined the two And the dragon transformed, her lover true.

It came to pass both night and day
The Dragon kept his love at Bay
His true appearance and real life hidden
From The The Kingdom forever now forbidden

They made a pact to keep their distance The kingdom not knowing of the dragons appearance And to this day with hand on heart They vowed to make a brand new start

Once upon a time in days of old

The maids were pretty and there knight so bold .

Constant Memory

 Do the memories of me still linger in your mind ?

"Is the feeling that you had" ,somewhere you can’t find ? Do you remember our first dance, Or has the moment just drifted past
I am living for the moment when Your mind remembers me once again What a blessing for us to remember and share The love in our hearts ,to prove I care
Are the memories now somehow fleeting ?
Your heart next to mine still beating I don’t remember the time or day When bitterness eroded your past away You look at me now with curious eyes I’m praying you see me without your minds lies Unable to recall the love we’ve known Each loving embrace that we have shown I am I living for the moment when
Your mind remembers me once again What a blessing for us to remember and share The love in our hearts ,to prove I care For these moments that once starred in our lives You carry the vows that make me your wife I try and push through all these dark days For moments of hate to be erased I will be your constant memory Even if and when you don’t know me I will never go and leave your side You have always been my friend and guide
I am living for the moment when Your mind remembers me once again What a blessing for us to remember and share The love in our hearts ,to prove I care
I have to trust the path ahead The great journey Let it be said That you and I will see this through Even though it seems like Déjà vu.

What a blessing for us to remember and share The love in our hearts ,to prove I care

Straight Line Speed

Pole position is the aim

Giving my all is the Game

Cutting corners and opening up

The straight line speed will win the Cup 


Playing Eff  one sounds on the way to the track

My heart beats faster to Fleetwood Mac

The race crew ready in the pit lane

Singing along to Mac and the Chain


Running through the shadows singing together

The smell of petrol fumes and burning leather

Leaving the pit for a practice lap

Make up the time yeah decrease that Gap


Pole position is the aim

Giving my all is the Game


A laurel leaf hung around my neck

Before the day a physical wreck

These Formula ones like lightning Bolts

Gleaming and sleek just like Colts


The Horse Power of these machines

will take me far beyond My dreams

The turbo engine tort and tight

The Aerofoil resisting flight


Cutting corners and opening up

The straight line speed will win the Cup


Aerodynamic close to tar

A wonderful sight a Supercar

All a Driver wants is to win or place

When the checkered flag waves end of race


2 Tire stops are the plan to start

If the weather holds and plays its part

Starting on slicks and hope they last

Under heavy braking but cant get passed


Pole position is the aim

Giving my all is the Game

Cutting corners and opening up

The straight line speed will win the Cup


The plan is always build a gap

With tenths of seconds every lap

If a Yellow flag slows me down

It might mean I'll lose my crown


The final lap is within sight

The apex corner makes me fight

These tyres lose grip on every turn

The Rubber is slick but starts to burn


The pit crew radio says to slow down

But I wont respond or lose my crown

The Checkered Flag ends the race

And I slow down to take my place


On the podium I take a bow

Shake champagne all over now

The crowd applaud the perfect chase

And the fastest Driver in the G.P race


Waving to the crowd on my victory lap

I will wear the Laurel and Grande Pree Cap


Pole position is the aim

Giving my all is the Game

Cutting corners and opening up

My straight line speed just won the Cup

Telegraph Strut

 On the street you look so dapper

That titfer tat a trilby capper

Smashing the blue tie and tonic suit

Your baggy strides and daisy roots


Cha Man Cha Man Cor blimey Gov " 

Strutting down to the Telegraph

Buy a pint and chaser of Rum

Your utopia will soon come


Connect with your people down cold harbor lane

Play some dub  while playing the game

"Dominoes" The shout goes out

A double blank could take me out


Jump on the bus the number tree

To grab some goat and hot curry

Then down to Stockwell to place a bet

Long shot with the bucket but he aint dead yet


Cha Man Cha Man Cor blimey Gov " 

Strutting down to the Telegraph

Buy a pint and chaser of Rum

Your utopia will soon come


Luff boro Junction is calling  I

 Me and me brudder rasta far I

A blues club jam the place to be

Our Reggae Dub and ska for free


Don't take it as red but there's no doubt

Jerk chicken is what its all about

The carnival is coming soon

We can dance all night to Bob Marley Tunes


Cha Man Cha Man Cor blimey Gov " 

Strutting down to the Telegraph

Buy a pint and chaser of Rum

Your utopia will soon come


Let it be said its not the same

The afro beat or calypso cane

I cant limbo as lean no more

We cant go back to how it was before


Brixton and fun in Brockwell park

The reefer man him baiting shark

Catch a fire with him crew

Looking sharp in shiney shoe


Cha Man Cha Man Cor blimey Gov " 

Strutting down to the Telegraph

Buy a pint and chaser of Rum

Your utopia will soon come


Memories are made to last

We strutting the lane but not too fast

Wishing and hoping the day soon come

Utopian paradise mixed wit rum


Back to Jamaica and Sunny shores

Retirement plan for us for sure

Palm trees Sun and Scirroco breeze

Knock dem coconut from those trees


Cha Man Cha Man Cor blimey Gov " 

Strutting down to the Telegraph

Buy a pint and chaser of Rum

Swaying along to Sam and Dave

A Blues combo or all night rave

We know how to live it up

Shake out ting and erupt


Red, Gold and Green wave that flag

Roll that spliff and take a drag

The Sun will set to reveal the Moon

Enjoy the Blues and Reggae tunes






Heist and Getaway

 

Well what a story I have for you And one that maybe quite eye opening too So please be careful and take heed And one day you yourself might succeed It started with a mighty plan One that we could all understand There were four of us that figured it out The greatest heist that folk would talk about The day was sunny and very warm The bees were buzzing in their swarm We were ready to take the prize to collect bags of swag of great size Arh yes we had guns but no bullets though No one was to get hurt in our game show We got the loot and headed for the door Where our getaway driver was for sure But we had a shocker as we left As the driver was gone ,we were bereft Where and what were we to do , Looking at each other Not one of us knew So ski masks off we all hopped on The mobility scooters one by one They were quite fast I must confess But not fast enough which caused us stress The police were on us in a flash The handcuffed us and took our cash The point of this story is Don’t let your getaway driver take the piss Leaving us stranded like he did We got nicked while he ran and hid But we’re still mates all of us Jail isn’t fun but we mustn’t cuss Times a great healer so they say And they say too that crime don’t pay Forgive and Forget is our motto now As we got too old to hold a job down So hear me now and I’ll say no more The balls in your court that’s for sure If you get into our line of business Pick your driver with awareness




Life Goes On

It’s quite lonely while I sit and watch I hear the ticking of the Mantel clock Every day and every lonely night

I try and make all things feel so right.


Cars pass back and forth on my street

Making me wonder who they may meet

outside my window life goes on

While I'm inside watching the great beyond
Do they have somewhere else to be None of them will ever meet me The mobile jungle out on the street Have their own shadows and drums to beat All strangers to me as they go by looking down missing the bluest of skies Missing natures beauty and reality In our worlds wondrous tapestry
It’s quite lonely while I sit and watch I hear the ticking of the Mantel clock Every day and every lonely night I try and make all things feel so right.
I guess there are many just like me Who sit inside and often see The rat race maze powered by greed Souls fail to see wild flowers and seed The beautiful scenery outside is lost To a concrete waste of brick and dust Some fail to make it through the rough While others cry when it gets tough It’s quite lonely while I sit and watch I hear the ticking of the Mantel clock Every day and every lonely night I try and make all things feel so right.

Ticking away the moments and days
Time moves on in mysterious ways
My window is my favorite view
As I recall my Days with You

Looking Glass

 Like a Ship that sails through the looking glass

Or Books that open into the past

We wander through from life to death

We spend the money till nothing left


Children running through the wild

Doors are bolted while windows barred

Freedom arrives but at a price

Have you enough? "then throw the dice"


Like it or not those days are gone

So buckle up and soldier on

Believe in Alice and the looking glass

For all weird things will come to pass


Choose every day which path to take

The hungry heart or the perfect steak

Getting old while you stay young

Seems your path has only just begun


Bite your lip or swallow the truth

Do it now while in your youth

For you will find its too late one day

and all your offspring will have a say


Like it or not those days are gone

So buckle up and soldier on

Believe in Alice and the looking glass

For all weird things will come to pass


Young or old, rich or poor

Fight the fight again once more

Be the one who steers the boat

The captain of courage who keeps it afloat


Were heading upwards toward the Sun

Its time to join in the pilgrims fun

You know you have been there before

But this time your rowing away from the shore


Like it or not those days are gone

So buckle up and soldier on

Believe in Alice and the looking glass

For all weird things will come to pass


Your government may plan and scheme

They are out to ruin all your dreams

Are you scared? and do you not care

Then bide your time at life's fun fair


Laugh out loud and have that fun

In a world where its banned for everyone

Yeah laugh out loud and have your fun

This party for us has just begun


Like it or not those days are gone

So buckle up and soldier on

Believe in Alice and the looking glass

For all weird things will come to pass


Life is for living and dying at best

The generation game no less

I really wish we could keep score

On all the evil at my door


This song is meant to make you think

This song will make you turn to drink

Another round barman the regulars shout

Before the lefties turn us out


Like it or not those days are gone

So buckle up and soldier on

Believe in Alice and the looking glass

For all weird things will come to pass


Believe in Alice and the looking glass

For all weird things will come to pass
