My England Has Gone

 I'm getting a Headache

It's working its way

To making me wonder if I'm O.K

What ever happened to enjoying the light

Winter is grey then turns to night

Its often dark by half past three

Afternoon no way Its evening to Me

Nights are long, don't get me wrong

I aint complaining within this song

Its a matter of fact

My England's been shot

Its gone ripped to pieces

and started to Rot

Born in the fifties and Learned real fast

How to make money and make it last

Now all I have is nothing I say

after working fifty five years away

I have no idea how the young will cope

Ending there life at the end of a rope

What chance do they have against an Islam attack

Left with nothing but a knife in the back

Its a matter of fact

My England been shot

Its gone ripped to pieces

and started to Rot

I'm not afraid for me or the old

Its the children left out in the cold

They wont know of good times present or past

They will have faith and hope but hope wont last

New laws will govern and drive you insane

Christians will perish on the end of a chain

No more Menu's for the west

Your food consumption will be rice I guess

An English Breakfast no longer served

Gods good book no longer with words

Its a matter of fact

My England is lost

Its been shot to pieces

and started to Rot

So endure the shortest of Winter days

But never to see those sunny rays

That once were just like

a breath of fresh air

Before the invasion of Muslim I swear

Its a matter of fact

My England has gone

No more the land of Wine and song

No more remembered by victory

The union flag and History

Its gone to pieces

and started to Rot

My England My Home

My land has been shot

Fight for your right

as only you can

Stand for the good of the Modern Man

No need to have faith or worship no more

Just take your sword and even the score

Fight the good fight

and maybe one day

You will see the return of Christmas Day.

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallay loo yah

Hallay Hallay Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah 

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah 

Christmas Noel

 Its a Christmas Jubilee

Come one and all there's lots to see

On we go on a shopping spree

The children's faces alight with glee

We hope that Santa and Reindeer sleigh 

will get this Christmas under way

Special gifts our Hearts desire

We love the warmth The Hearth and Fire

So many presents for us to wrap

We need Santa's Helper A little chap

The one who sits up on a shelf

and pretends to be a north pole elf

We hope that Santa and Reindeer sleigh 

will get this Christmas under way

We cannot wait for Christmas eve

Putting gifts beneath the tree

Presents wrapped and gift tags signed

Above the tree the star it shines

Hours of feeling overwhelmed

A job well done on this Noel

We hope that Santa and Reindeer sleigh 

will get this Christmas under way

So here is the day

we have waited to see

Greeting friends and Family

So let it be special 

lets make a wish

Then tuck into our festive dish

The day is over in a flash

The Christmas wrap long in the trash

Another Year spending time and Money

The children's faces glow like Honey

Now outside in the snow filled ground

Snowballs being thrown around

Lots of memories made this year

Loads of fun and festive cheer

We hope that Santa and Reindeer sleigh 

will get this Christmas under way

Another New year will be here soon

As Bells ring out a Heavenly tune.

Silent night Holy Night

La la la la la la la la Heavenly light

Carole singers sing a lullaby

Make a wish on Christmas Night

History Train( Journey Unknown)

 Life is much like a Railway Carriage

Passengers like Ghost with empty Baggage

The Misty essence of Memories

Recanting stories and past History's

Wishing I had known the travelers

As their lives unraveled

Did they live the best of life

and were they left to their own devise

Where were they going? did they even know?

Were they destined to meet a stranger or Beau

Or to have fortune told by A Gypsy's Tarot

I hope they found love

The greatest gift around

What was life like and where were they bound

Were they riding the Train?

To escape Pain

Or just for the freedom from the distance they gained

Where were they going? did they even know?

Were they destined to meet a stranger or Beau

Or to have fortune told by A Gypsy's Tarot

Did the Ladies rejoice with hopeful song

Running from prejudice would not take long

Singing about fields of Yellow and Gold

Tales of love that never grew old

So  many young faces riding the train

Most looking ghostly with lines of pain

The locomotive picking up speed

Books left open now never to reed

Where were they going? did they even know?

Were they destined to meet a stranger or Beau

Or to have fortune told by A Gypsy's Tarot

Some travelers looked old but still in their prime

Running away from old father time

As great ancestors gathered together

The first class passenger bathed in its splendor

I am inspired by the Railway stock

Brass fittings and papered in flock

The deep red Velvet of curtains and Chairs

Wondering how they afforded the fare

My railway journey was a mystery

As I enter a tunnel and its history

Where were they going? did they even know?

Were they destined to meet a stranger or Beau

Or to have fortune told by A Gypsy's Tarot

Guided to our Draw

 Were You ever guided to a drawer

And wondered what the hell what for

Were you looking for something you had lost?

Or the receipt to remember the date and cost?

Was it an item or maybe a wish?

to find something that came with a kiss

A reminder of better days passed and missed?

A card or Memory or shopping list

The drawer has the answer

But you cant look

Your searching for something

Written in a book

A first hello or sad goodbye

You close the Drawer and start to cry

 Were You ever guided to a drawer

And wondered what the hell what for

Were you looking for something you had lost?

Or the receipt to remember the date and cost?

I can never remember why I search

Was it for good times or one that hurt

Memories have emptied faded for sure

No longer the scent of Red Door

Infusing my Senses would be so good

Those lucky days when touching wood

We didn't really need to speak

We said what we meant with a kiss on the cheek

The Drawer tells me its time to look

Within the pages you wrote in your best book

 Were You ever guided to a drawer

And wondered what the hell what for

Were you looking for something you had lost?

Or the receipt to remember or the cost?

Remember the Menu and Cook Book

That we used to  eat and I used to cook

Eating Chinese our favorite Cuisine

Then having each other for after's I mean

Why has time eroded our Love

Why did you send a hint from above

A message to me to open our drawer

Was it to connect with me once more

 Were You ever guided to a drawer

And wonder what the hell what for

Were you looking for something you had lost?

Or the receipt to remember or the cost?

You will never leave My Mind or My Heart

Nothing in that drawer could tear us apart

Its full of memories devoted to you

A hidden reminder of my love for You

Don't Forget to wait by the Willow for Me

The one with our love carved aged 23

The passage of time may see it fade

But the tree stands tall under its shade

So its back to the drawer for You and Me

A time to reflect amid our Memories

Over time our love wont ever fade

But being Young were better days.

 Were You ever guided to a drawer

And wondered what the hell what for

Were you looking for something you had lost?

Or the receipt to remember the day or the cost?

Santa's Way

 Christmas was the warmest time

Likened to a nursery rhyme

 A real reason to raise a cheer

On a Cold night and time of year

As a child receiving gifts

A time of Joy giving us a lift

Santa came to save the day

Hoping and praying he comes our way

From chimneys up on the roof above

The sleigh bells ringing one true love

I cant think of a better time

and one thing is for sure

Santa made it a special day for me

leaving those gifts for family

With presents wrapped with tinsel for kings

So many toys and special things

Awaking early on Christmas day

Listening to the church bells ringing today

Carole singers and marching bands

Salvation army's outstretched hand

collecting coinage for the poor

And knocking on our neighbor's door

Giving some change gave us a lift

just like when we received a gift

A  special message that felt like love

Thank You Christmas for the Love

As we grow old and remember the days

when wonderous things within our gaze

were simple and pure like a crackers joke

we raise a glass to friends and folk

Ho ho ho Santa's  on his way 

listen  for the Reindeer and Santa's Sleigh

Christmas Lunch such a feast like dinner

The Biggest Turkey was such a winner

Cooked over night on Christmas Eve

With lots of trimmings I do believe

Pour on the gravy, Eat while hot

Sipping Sherry or a whiskey shot

A champagne toast to those never forgot

Sharing the Love for just one day

Seemed so special but faded away

As back to work and The cold

For Children, our Parents and the old

Back to the memory of being young

A brand New Year having begun

Its not the same as it once was

I will tell you for nothing that is because

Our lives and once Christian belief

Have been stolen away by the third world thief 

The Anti Christ like grains of sand

Have  invaded the once great promised land

We didn't sit in trenches on the western front

To be taken for fools and to be quite blunt

We will overcome your Master plan

To Rid our religion from our own land

 So let the Bells Of Christmas Cheer you tonight

Give over your soul to gods holy light

Drink and be merry And Sleep sound tonight

Santa is coming to put things right

Children Laugh and always believe

That Special Meaning of the Christmas Tree

Ho ho ho Santa's  on his way 

listen  for the Reindeer and Santa's Sleigh

Merry Christmas and may I say

Happy new year on New years day.

One Eyes Rum

 Curtis One eye Sailed into Port

Enemies and navel vessels Swart

Wearing Rose Gold,

 chains around his neck

With all his crew present and correct

Not this day looking to fight

But a bottle of Rum his Thirsty delight

A taste of Morgans on this night

A lover to find and re-unite

Yo ho ho come drink my rum

Every one toast and raise your Gun

Shiver me timbers Avast yeee

Hoist the main brace

Lets go to sea.

One Eye was un-aware that trouble was brewing

His Lovers new Beau with tobacco was chewing

Waiting for One eye to Notice his mocking

He found it outrageous and somewhat shocking

One eye laughed with Rum bottle in hand

Time had slipped like Grains of sand

The love of his life seemed no longer his

The light had faded just like the mist

Yo ho ho come drink my rum

Every one toast and raise your Gun

Shiver me timbers Avast yeee

Hoist the main brace

Lets go to sea.

Confronting and making a reckless choice

Her new love rose with  fire in voice

Hoping to alarm his Pirate rival

Thinking of ways for a winning survival

One eye seemed to find the action amusing

The swiftest and sweetest way of de-fusing

Slapping the Beau square on the back

Handing him Rum on the counter attack

Soon the pair were drinking quite hardy

Enjoying the Rum and inviting to party

They agreed that their Lover was simply a treasure

And could share her time between both for pleasure

Everyone perceives and believes

There is always honor amongst Pirates and Thieves

Yo ho ho come drink my rum

Every one toast and raise your Gun

Shiver me timbers Avast yeee

Hoist the main brace

Lets go to sea.

One eye row the boat ashore

Al la lu ya

One eye Drink your rum once more

HALLELUJAH halleluuuuuujahhhh

Rockin thru Time

 I prefer Rock and Roll and old school tunes

I'm wired that way, wont be changing soon

Give Me Buddy, Big Bopper too

Richie Valence and blue suede shoes

Brought up with wireless and Radio sound

Fats Domino and the thrill he found

From Blue Berry Hill  to New Orleans

Walking and talking Blue Monday He sings

I aint no country boy and I don't pray

But listening to Music is Gods own way

Of making life seem better for Me

With Johnny Cash and Brenda Lee

Born in Fifty Five my claim to fame

The year of the Juke Box, changing The game

One Silver coin put into a slot

Captured your mood Hitting the spot

Dance was crazy The jive and Swing

Chuck Berry Little Richard and Elvis was King

The Sixties soon followed with Harmony

Long Hair The stones and Ruby Tuesday

Dylan blew in with the wind

The Beatles helped the magic begin

Taking us on a mystery tour

Screaming Girls chase the fabulous four

Honkytonk Piano got raving reviews

with Georgie Fame and those Moody Blues

Protest Songs were popular 

But not a cool sound while driving the car

Roll till Your old Rock till you drop

Jive while alive singing Be Bop

 Dance to the rhythm, feel the base in your bones,

In this sonic landscape, we’ll make our home.

No one could say they were ever a fan

Soon that changed for a seventies band

Eight Track Stereo on a cross state drive

Sounding The Fashion for Playing Live

Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin

Helped the Seventies Settle in

No turning back for Cosmic Rock

Glam, Punk And the New Wave Shock

A New form of Elvis "Costello his name" 

Alison became his one true aim

A brand new sound from a label called stiff

Replacing Long locks, return of the Quiff

Roll till Your old Rock till you drop

Jive while alive singing Be Bop

 Dance to the rhythm, feel the base in your bones,

In this sonic landscape, we’ll make our home.

We have gone full circle but don't give a dam

Listening to Buddy Feelgood and Jam

Rocking out is the Master Plan

 New sounds are Hip to this generation

But truly for me not feeling any sensation

Give Me the Rhythmic rocking vibe

Give me the joy of Juke Box Jive.

Roll till Your old Rock till you drop

Jive while alive singing Be Bop

 Dance to the rhythm, feel the base in your bones,

In this sonic landscape, we’ll make our home.

With every verse, I find a piece of me,

Among the chords, I’m finally free

Be Bop a loo lah

Be Bop A loo Lah A lop Bam Boooo  Ahoooom

 

7 O' CLOCK Wake up

 Its 7 o'clock man JUST WOKE UP

Scratching my head so what's up

Another day with brand new flow

I need some air and ready to crow

I'm checking my phone while still alone

 Girls checking me out in the twilight zone

Saying they think they are my type

Its probably Bull and maybe just hype

She wants my time and my face

My tongue on her mouth bro just a taste

I told her to wait around and see 

Knowing my Music is the way to me

Its summertime girl Feel the heat

Give me a like and feel the beat

I love you girls but don't need nothing 

Having friends around is really something

All I really need now is a very nice ride

Rate Me babe with a flipping five

I don't really care bro what time You got

But its 7 o'clock and I just woke up

Mother's Melody

 I Picked up a Fiddle to give it a try

With the thought of playing a lullaby

I Placed My Bow and began

The Tune My mother once had sang

The sound was sweet and soft at first

Then the rhythm found its thirst

It echoed sweetly around the Town

Wrapped in an Angels spiritual Gown

I was glad to play the fiddle well

Just like the sound of a churches Bell

From the fiddle shone a light

At first mellow then quite bright

As if in a dream I looked up

Feeling the winds velvet touch

In the distance a familiar face

Was likened to My Mothers Grace

I had lost her a long long time ago

Was I dreaming? I did not know

I continued to play My Melody

My Arco Bowing sincerity

I played and watched as Mother Danced

Along the shore as if in a trance

I was glad to play the fiddle well

Just like the sound of a churches Bell

When my tune came to an end

She Bowed and turned around again

To My face up close a shiver

A soft smile and kiss delivered

The Tune still Breathing in my soul

But she was gone my Heart consoled

I was glad to play the fiddle well

Just like the sound of a churches Bell

My Mother dancing to the Sound

of Angels singing all around

I play my lullaby bye and bye

While looking to the cloudless sky

Wishing for me to see again

Her tender dance to my refrain

The fiddle and I are one together

The sound rings out a simple pleasure

Oh Solay solay solay Oh solay solay solay

Whisper to me whisper to me

Ring to thee sing to me

Pagans Serenade

 So come the Night In the Mist of Time

Three Sisters sat planning the perfect rhyme

For a World they wished to subdue

A spell to cast well overdue

Witches Three, Mischief Makers

Wiccan Magic rule Breakers

They chanted to the silvery Moon

Bending the wind to a silent tune

The earthly voices of ancient pagans

Rose up and out toward the sky

Never to ever be forgotten

Forever a thought in your minds eye

Their faces alighted by Bright Blue Hew

Incited desire to undo

Whispering The spell of Humanity's view

Brewing control over human souls

Combined with mystical sea creatures scrolls

Chanting words in heavy groans

Feeding the hunger within their bones

The earthly voices of ancient pagans

Rose up and out toward the sky

Never to ever be forgotten

Forever a thought in your minds eye

Their spirits rose from ground below

And faced the witches fire glow

The witches seemed not afraid

The spirit sang a serenade

The Time was now and the Night went fast

The witches spell Fades at last

High priestess and her spirits returned

Leaving earth unharmed Un-burned

The earthly voices of ancient pagans

Rose up and out toward the sky

Never to ever be forgotten

Forever a thought in your minds eye

With wind on heels 

Witches fled in retreat

Pagan charms and souls complete

Somewhere in time

The dark in between

Witches lurk unheard unseen

No doubt they watch and they scheme

To find a way to reign supreme

While the pagan priestess remains

Flowers will bloom with life sustained.

The earthly voices of ancient pagans

Rose up and out toward the sky

Never to ever be forgotten

Forever a thought in your minds eye

Hummmmmm   Oh ha Hummmmmm

Isis astarte Diana acarte 

Demeter Kali Inannna.

Hummmmmmmm oH Hmmmmm Hmmmm a Hmmmm

Isis astarte Diana acarte 

Demeter Kali Inannna.

Are of no real interest to Someone like Me

The warmth of the Sun, Bees, and Fresh Air

Where Rivers do flow

Bills on My Floor

 

Too Many Bills falling on My Floor

Surely their for the house next door

I cant take no more of this trash

I wouldn't mind if I were sent some cash

I cannot afford to pay though I've tried

I really think the vendor lied

Why Do I vote? It seems a Hoax

All my dreams going up in smoke

No one seems to keep promises

So many dishonest Accomplices

Too many Bills Falling on My Floor

Just cant take it Don't need no more

Hope they get stopped in their tracks

Figured I'm getting stabbed in the back

These thieves with everything in their coffers

Keep sending me tokens and lots of offers 

Cant take no more of this trash

Hard facts for cold hard cash

Stripping me bare with nowhere to hide

Cant even afford a cheap bus ride

I get upset and angry too 

Nothing left for a brew

My Poultry sum of pension money

Not Joking Man it just aint Funny

Telling me that I can manage aint funny

What part of Skint and got no money Do they not understand

Why the silence?  choosing  to ignore

Once I pay My rent I  Aint nothing but poor

Cant take no more of this trash

Hard facts and cold hard cash

Stripping me bare with nowhere to hide

Cant even afford a cheap bus ride

Those thieves in high places

with smiles on their faces

Don't care how the little guys cant afford their changes

Its all going up but I'm coming down

The cost of living has let me hit the ground

Cant afford to live, Cant afford to die

I guess I will laugh before I cry

Cant take no more of this trash

Hard facts and cold hard cash

Stripping me bare with nowhere to hide

Cant even afford a cheap bus ride

Doldrums doldrums doldrum doll

Dolldrummmm doldrummmmmmdoldrum dolllllllldrummmmmmmmmmmdoll

Crafty Blues

 Did you ever wonder what to do?

With a spare bedroom but didn't have a clue

Then Your partner comes up with a great idea

To take up crafting and makes it clear

Washi tape by the dozen so many to choose

The Crafty Crafter gives me the blues

So much money spent on scissors and pens

If You lose one replace it

You must make amends

She could spend all day  making cards

Cutting paper and fix Her Deco parge

Fill the room with boxes and paper

Imagine the expense and the cost of the caper

Washi tape by the dozen many to choose

The Crafty Crafter gives me the blues

So much money spent on scissors and pens

If You lose one replace it

You must make amends

Go to the Craft Fair and spend a Fortune

You will run out of Glue sometime soon

Forget your troubles leave them behind

Fussy cuts are cool, Help You un-wined

Measure your card size

 Use up your stash

Or Shop for more stickers

While spending more cash

Washi tape by the dozen so many to choose

The Crafty Crafter gives me the blues

So much money spent on scissors and pens

If You lose one replace it

You must make amends

One day this will end at least I hope

but for now Its a challenge,  I hope I can Cope

Carry on with coloring,  Why I smoke some Dope

Ce la vie Ce la vie ce la vie excuse me

Kisseeee kiss kiss Kissimeeeeee

Ce la vie Ce la vie Kiss me kiss me

Oooh wahooooo wahooooo ooooh wahooooo oooh ah hoooooo

Peak Time travel Blues

 Peak time travel has stopped me in my tracks

Controlling My Movement just telling the facts

The lines on my brow and stress in my face 

The crack in my smile all over the place

I don't want to be reminded of the time

I don't want to be penalized and told of my crime

For being out too early or coming home late

Transport for London You can do one mate

Parking cars with Ringo is another Bug Bear

I don't have an I pad Don't make Me swear

And if I phone the number it says I need an APP

All this is useless and utter crap

I end up parking so I can take the Train

Charged by the Council I'm going insane

Fifty Five Pounds For a Two Hour stay

All because I failed to pay

Peak time travel has stopped me in my tracks

Controlling My Movement just telling the facts

The lines on my brow and stress in my face 

The crack in my smile all over the place

A car park charge that I could not access

Not with cash or card no less

So stick Your Ring up Your Ass

Its a scam a rip off a con no less

Pensioners can remember when parking was a breeze

And now its a mission and leaves us un-eased

Put your scams back in the tray

The one that says Have a nice Day

You are cheating your elderly lawful  folk

I don't Chew Gum and Do not smoke

But I have to pay your fines for the schemes

That You dream up to kill our means

Peak time travel has stopped me in my tracks

Controlling My Movement just telling the facts

The lines on my brow and stress in my face 

The crack in my smile all over the place

I spend most days not getting out of Bed

This is the only way No tears get shed

If I try to go out God forbid I park My Car

So  your vultures an hunt me from afar.

I hate this planet but something tells Me Soon

You will be painting Double Yellows on The Moon.

Stick your Your Wardens where the sun don't shine

I'm staying in bed with a bottle of wine.

Whoah Whoah Whoah and Woah some more

Give us a break  I'm crying for sure

Peak time travel has stopped me in my tracks

Controlling My Movement just telling the facts

The lines on my brow and stress in my face 

The crack in my smile all over the place.

 

Dragon Musketeers

 There once were 3 fancy Dragons

The world they wanted to explore

So packing up their best cases

Trundled off to nameless shores

Full of Fire and Joyful Faces

They scanned a Map with pencil traces

Boarded a train with the required information

They had their first  destination

All 3 were not great travelers

but hoped to make fine ambassadors

Trying really hard to sing each others praises

with very few airs and graces

The Dragons on a wondrous journey 

in search of world wide stories

They went around the planet twice

enjoying all the exercise

Finally they all decided 

it were time to visit warmer climates

Full of Fire and Joyful Faces

They scanned a Map with pencil traces

So heading off just one more time

they ended up in the sunshine

Putting on their new sunglasses

they strutted out with champagne Glasses

Not a single cloud were in the sky

They started to run toward the tide

Looking at home in paradise

with sandy beaches and melting ice

Full of Fire and Joyful Faces

They scanned a Map with pencil traces

Now happy in their travels be

3 Musketeers they did agree

All for one and one for all

The Motto was, They had A Ball

No more travelling for the 3

Now giving rides to kids

Whom scream with glee.

With Fiery breath and whiskey too

They had a Ball with Barbeque

Roaring roar roar  Dragons away away

Fire Roaring come and slay lay slay la lay slay la lay lalay lalay lay

All for one and one for all

Listen to Our Dragons call

Call My Bluff

 Anything New seems a little strange

 Beat up cars out of my price range

Second hand Rose got nothing on Me

I'd play a 2 string flying Vee

Just watch Me tune it throw Me the key 

Hit your sticks against the snare

Bash those cymbals like you care

Give me some rock and show me your soul

Lets bang that Base drum for rock and roll

Am I just bluffing or telling lies

Am I the joker in disguise

Only way to tell is to call my bluff

Just tell me when you've heard enough;

Love me some blue grass, Soul and groove

Like all the classics on You tube

Aint got no pennies and don't have time

To work for nothing or even a dime

I was born standing up and still sleep that way

Love my Dylan and lay lady lay

Am I just bluffing or telling lies

Am I the joker in disguise

Only way to tell is to call my bluff

Just tell me when you've heard enough;

But the thing I love most is Summertime

and shacking up with Beaujolay Wine

I would give my right hand for a bottle or two

Would love to sip it from a Hookers shoe

Am I just bluffing or telling lies

Am I the joker in disguise

Only way to tell is to call my bluff

Just tell me when you've heard enough;

Give me the sound of a 3 man band

A drummer who bangs and A double Base Man

A guitar player who loves to strum

and the voice of energy Rhythm and hum

Hit the crowd enter stage right

Give them that Honky Tonk Sound tonight

Wild cats take and kill the floor

Jumping Boogie Crying for More

Salute The crowd exit stage Left

Blue grass and rock simply the best

Come back for an encore and Rock some More

Leave Your Heart out on the floor.

Am I just bluffing or telling lies

Am I the joker in disguise

Only way to tell is to call my bluff

Just tell me when you've heard enough;

Yeah Just Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me Yeah Just Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me Yeah

Bridge of Dreams

 In My Nightmare and dream scenario

I'm on a bridge with only one way to go

up ahead in the distance sits a Man

Can I get by him? I'm hoping I can 

Not understanding My reason to cross

He just stares and the bridge gently rocks

On the edge of the bridge 

where my footsteps go

why He sits there I do not know

What can he be contemplating

Is he friend or foe

Why is he debating

To stand his ground or maybe go

Now he is looking up at me

wondering what his eyes do see

I cannot move and I have froze 

His Demeanor is that of a ghost

On the edge of the bridge 

where my footsteps go

why He sits there I do not know

He whispers with a fragile tone

Asking Me of his way home

Help me if I'm wrong or right

No meaning of my life in sight

He sits upon the edge here now

and waves me while he wipes his brow

Haydees  sent him from Earth above 

For Jealous thoughts of tainted love

On the edge of the bridge 

where my footsteps go

why He sits there I do not know

Cast into  Hell and from the table

never looking as if he were able

To make his way across the bridge

armed with hope and his courage

I took his hand to help him stand

so that we could help each other

with hope and heart we will never part

 life's true meaning up ahead for us to discover.

On the edge of the bridge 

where my footsteps go

why He sits there I do not know

 In My Nightmare and dream scenario

I'm on a bridge with only one way to go

Gypsy Lies

 A Fortune teller told me just the other day

By looking at my palm and asking do I wanna pay

Her standard rate for Wisdom and fate

To be told My future before its too late

Did the Gypsy Lie or did she know the truth

Time will tell that's when we get the proof

I agreed to her terms and took a seat

She put on some music with a slow hand beat

then asked if I wanted the warts and all

or to be told just the good stuff nothing bad at all

I asked what's the difference? Would it cost me more

She replied The words It may even The score

Not right now but in the future just might

Get you out of trouble and many a fight

Did the Gypsy Lie or did she know the truth

Time will tell that's when we get the proof

Give Me Your Hand Palm side up

Or you can choose the leaves and the Tea cup

No Go ahead I said and offered my hand

I waited why she Turned The Timer with sand

You have to pay for my time 2 bucks per minute

Its up to you as there is no limit

Just tell me to stop when you've heard enough

It can get a bit weird this Fortune stuff.

Did the Gypsy Lie or did she know the truth

Time will tell that's when we get the proof

Now I notice Your Heart line is a little frayed

Have you lost in love or been betrayed?

Also Your Life line is a tad to fine 

Have you been unwell as it could be a sign

A broken Heart could be so hard to mend

Going with my gut  " Have you got a friend " Whom is close to your wife and always around

Even drives over when your out of Town?

For I will tell you now this man affects your life

Even your Kids if he wins your wife

Putting 2 and 2 together I just wanna say 

I hope for you Tomorrow is a better day

Did the Gypsy Lie or did she know the truth

Time will tell that's when we get the proof

I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings and News

And it can not be cool walking in your shoes

So now its up to you but take My advice

Don't trust your Friend around Your wife

Go from here but don't take it as red

But improve your heart line and life time ahead.

Oh Gypsy Thank You Thank You Thank You

Oh Gypsy oh gypsy  ooooh ooooh 

I need to call time and go straight home

because I fear my wife wont be alone 

oh woah woah oh oh a oh a oh a wohawahhoo ohhhhhhhhhh

Did the Gypsy Lie or did she know the truth

Time will tell that's when we get the proof

Oh Gypsy Oh Gypsy ooooooh wa oooooooh

Tough Time Blues

 Growing up was kind of Rough

Being in School I had to be Tough

Fought The system and other Boys too

Learned to read swallow and chew

Expressed my reasons once I could write

And never backed away from a fight

Yes I was different that what they say

At least the Black sheep of the family

Growing up was kind of Rough

Being outcast was totally tough

Working real hard before leaving school

Set me up as nobodies fool

Being in care was just like

Learning to ride a two wheeled bike

Falling off was temporary

Getting back on was tasting the  cherry

Life wasn't for living for the likes of Me

But I overcame the Stormy sea

The waves just crashed over my shoulder

Creating Barricades and Rock hard  Boulder

Growing up was kind of  tough

But never so rough 

As when you ceased to believe in me

Twisted the knife and left me to bleed

I can only surmise with only one thought

I was never your type no never your sort

 Growing up was kind of Rough

Being in School I had to be Tough

Fought The system and Bully Boys too

Learned to stand at the back of the queue

Now I am looking back over my crimes

realizing they were not  good times 

Perhaps I'm wrong to write these words

which Family find little absurd

Well they don't know me and neither did You 

My very existence has always been Blue

Gonna write My songs so listen if you dare

But don't be surprised to realize I cared

For You don't know Me if you think I'm here

To always agree I'm not jealous I swear

 Growing up was kind of Rough

Being an adult I had to be Tough

Fought The system and other Guys too

Learned to read swallow and chew.

Hummmmmmmm Hummmmmm Hummmmmmmm Hummm Hum Hummmm hum hum hum hum

Nursery Rhymes

 Once upon a Time We had Nursery Rhyme

Lies and twist to undermine

Leading us to  naively believe

Ridiculous Tales of deceit

Expecting us to sit and ponder

Jack sprat in a world of wonder

He was fat while spouse was lean

The weirdest pair You've ever seen

Why were there three gents in a tub

when not allowed a Woman's club

The Butcher, The Baker , Candle stick Maker

Were surely Knaves upon a Caper

Humpty Dumpty Built a brick wall

Built it to high then had a fall

Smashed his head then went to Bed

Scrambled his brain and ate it with bread

Twelve kids top and tail
In one bed up for sale

Surely This cant be true

While living in The Mothers Shoe

Where was the frail old man

while all of this was going down

Locked up in the jail or the clink

One would shudder to think

Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater

Was his wife a sinful cheater

seems to me He could not keep her

Locking her up in a pumpkin shell

She enjoyed it oh so well

Humpty Dumpty Built a brick wall

Built it to high then had a fall

Smashed his head then went to Bed

Scrambled his brain and ate it with bread

Old king Cole was a sweet old soul

Out of work and on the dole

Sat in the parlor eating bread and Honey

Couldn't get a job for love nor Money

Old Mother Hubbard

Went to the cupboard

and found it empty and bare

She said to the pup

go fetch a cup and filled it with wind and  fresh air

Humpty Dumpty Built a brick wall

Built it to high then had a fall

Smashed his head then went to Bed

Scrambled his brain and ate it with bread

So many Bad stories and Rhymes were told

Believed by kids but not by the old

The reason for this is we become wise

And all of these lyrics contain only lies.

Deeeeeeeeeee dadadadadadeeeeeeee fiddddle me deeee fiddle me doh
Didddddddleeeee dee didddddle me dah

Eternal Flame

 Nothing went as I had planned

I didn't want to understand

Why all good things come to an end

My Loving hand I did extend

The life and lust within my vein

will haunt you with eternal flame

Among the stars and Blood Red Moon

You cant escape You'll see real soon

I asked him " Do You really have to go"?

Cant you see " My Heart it Glows"

A Potion Sweet I did bestow

You drank it like there were no tomorrow

I wish that we could stay together

I need You now more than ever

Its hard to believe your saying Adieu

Have You really thought this through?

The life and lust within my vein

will haunt you with eternal flame

Among the stars and Blood Red Moon

You cant escape You'll see real soon

I will be left with a sad refrain

Should You decide to return again

All alone with just My tears

With memories of these Golden Years

With broken heart I may cast a spell

and send you to a living hell

The life and lust within my vein

will haunt you with eternal flame

Among the stars and Blood Red Moon

You cant escape You'll see real soon

Your decision to leave will do Me harm

but trust Me now while I'm still calm

Change Your Mind and in Me Trust

Our loves not lost and nor The Lust

The life and lust within my vein

will haunt you with eternal flame

Among the stars and Blood Red Moon

You cant escape You'll see real soon

Come to me now and kiss me sweet

My throne is yours so take my seat

Hush now lover Hear the sound

and see the light shine all around.

fahlah faahla dominai da la fahla fahla donminai fah la  huhmmmmmmm Huhmmmmmmm

The life and lust within my vein

will haunt you with eternal flame

Among the stars and Blood Red Moon

You cant escape You'll see real soon

Sirens call

 A Mermaid sits upon the waters edge

Watching Ships awaiting dread

For she as a siren must fully embrace

Taking Sailors without trace

The songs she sings whisper to the sea

she lets them see her wondrous beauty

She waits patiently for the time

For the moment she will shine

It only takes the waters reflection

To get the sailors needed attention

Their minds lost in the great divide

The mermaids hunger never denied

The songs she sings whisper to the sea

she lets them see her wondrous beauty

Her actual feature not to behold 

As she is near one thousand years old

They see her flowing hair of gold

The songs she sings whisper to the sea

she lets them see her wondrous beauty

Her shiny scales a wash with silver

Her reflection in the waves will filter

Her desire to Tempt and swiftly snatch

And taste the blood of her sweet catch

The songs she sings whisper to the sea

she lets them see her wondrous beauty

Soon her sisters join in Song

Rejoicing with the Hunting Siren

Taking Sailors One by One

Until the crew and ship are gone

The songs she sings whisper to the sea

she lets them see her wondrous beauty

Back to depths of old and cold

More ships will sail and hear The song

To the Sea Mermaids belong.

More Ships will sail and hear the song

HUHMMMMMMMM  huhmmmmmmmmmmm   Huhmmm

To the sea The Mermaids belong.
