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.

 

Moonbeam

I heard a sound in my forest grand

So on the ground my eyes began to scan

I found a light of true majestic beauty

I stared and felt that it somehow knew Me

Something from above fell into my land

A Moonbeam came floating into my hand

Suddenly the Beam shone brighter

And my Heart fluttered and seemed lighter

The Moonbeam spiritually started to dance

I could only watch as if in a trance

Like Fireworks sparkling all around

My knees felt weak as I knelt down

Something from above fell into my land

A Moonbeam came floating into my hand

Suddenly the Beam shone brighter

And my Heart fluttered and seemed lighter

This stunning piece of artistry

Came down from somewhere just for me

I held my breath beheld its presence

Sending my gaze toward the heavens

It bought a sense of peace and calm

And gave to me a song of charm

It floated up toward the sky

And whispered a sweet lullaby

Something from above fell into my land

A Moonbeam came floating into my hand

Suddenly the Beam shone brighter

And my Heart fluttered and seemed lighter

I thanked it kindly as it rose

For making me the one it chose

Returning to Angels waiting above

Filling Me with eternal love

Knowing that I was loved and not alone

Blessing the forest my spiritual home

Every morning I praise the way

The Moonbeam came to save the day

Something from above fell into my land

A Moonbeam came floating into my hand

Suddenly the Beam shone brighter

And my Heart fluttered and seemed lighter

I found a light of  majestic beauty

I stared and felt that it somehow knew Me

I found a light of  majestic beauty

I stared and felt that it somehow knew Me

 

Footsteps in the Sand

Foot steps in the sand

Animal tracks in snow

Will the Full Moon guide You tonight

Or will you never know?

The sled you ride will get you there

The Husky pulls you to the lair

Arrive in time for home made brew

Taking off your ski shoe

Rest assured your in one piece

Take off your shawl and goat skin fleece

Your next adventure still awaits

You are keen to leave so don't hesitate

The arctic circle awaits your call

The desert sand will break your fall

Foot steps in the sand

Animal tracks in snow

Will the Full Moon guide You tonight

Or will you never know?

Two extremes for you to ponder

choose which one sit and wonder

Do the dogs wish to run on ice and snow

Or to to an oasis would they go?

Iceberg  or brimstone that's the choice

Make the decision" Lets hear your voice

Grab the Bassoon or flugel horn

Lets hear its tone and a tune

Foot steps in the sand

Animal tracks in snow

Will the Full Moon guide You tonight

Or will you never know?

Shouts of Mush and on you go

Over Sand or over Snow

Will the full moon guide you tonight

Or will we never know

Come back safe from Ice or shore

Bring back tales when you explore

The hidden Lands of ice and fire

Bring us heather or just briar

One day soon maybe we will join you

And find the joy of morning dew

From whence we came we will find out

The Dogs await our Homeward shout

Foot steps in the sand

Animal tracks in snow

Will the Full Moon guide You tonight

Or will you never know?

Winter Blues

The weather gets me down

when winter comes around

My body just cant cope

waiting for warmth so live in hope

Lets shut the windows and keep out draft

Wear Hats gloves Sock and scarf

Lets hibernate then just wait it out

Or maybe dance, scream and shout

With the big freeze and dismal grey

that we endure most everyday

No sport or girls on my tv

Nothing for us to watch and see

Getting dark just past three

Need a massive Bottle of J.D

Lets wrap up warm and stay in bed

Eat oxtail soup and buttered bread

Lets shut the windows and keep out draft

Wear Hats gloves Sock and scarf

Lets hibernate then just wait it out

Or maybe dance, scream and shout

Lets turn up the heat and close the doors

Double glaze the windows do the chores

An activity to warm us up

 A malted drink from mug or cup

Lets shut the windows and keep out draft

Wear Hats gloves Sock and scarf

Lets hibernate then just wait it out

Or maybe dance, scream and shout

Sing along to an  Eskimo Song

Build a fire it shouldn't take long

Turn up the heat and Melt it too

From inside a big Igloo

Why oh why don't we escape?

To warmer climbs before too late

Even the birds just fly away

To hibernate and vacate

Lets shut the windows and keep out draft

Wear Hats gloves Sock and scarf

Lets hibernate then just wait it out

Or maybe dance, scream and shout

Going out of my mind with this weather friend

Brain freeze aint a fashion so has to end

Defrost my body from winter chill

Had to much winter overkill

The sun must return 

I'm gonna burn

Lay on that beach get a Tan

Show off my body like Adonis man

Don't make me laugh I here You say

But watch this space next sunny day.

Lets shut the windows and keep out draft

Wear Hats gloves Sock and scarf

Lets hibernate then just wait it out

Or maybe dance, scream and shout

Hear me out hear me out

Dance and scream shout it out

Its only Me ( Your Comatose Friend)

 Hello old friend "Nice to see you again"

I thought it was you

 but couldn't tell to be true

You look a little different 

from when I saw you last

Who's that behind the Mask? May I ask

Well its Only Me " You must know surely"

The One and only love of your life

Soon to be your Special wife

Hello old friend "Nice to see you again"

I thought it was you

 but couldn't tell to be true

You are mistaken and so out of touch

I once admired You but not now so much

Probably best that You now know 

The exit is there so off you go

I have found someone new

So much better than You

"Not now darling" Get out of my  bed"

What was that? "You just said"

Close the door on the way out

Don't try to reason, scream or shout

We are two strangers and always will be

Are you blind to the fact " Cant You See"?

Hello old friend "Nice to see you again"

I thought it was you

 but couldn't tell to be true

Its time to travel to pastures new

Its time for Me to forget you

Who are you behind that Mask

Who are You? Again I ask?

A waste of your time so it seems

Wake up! Get up and forget this dream

I awoke with a start

A pounding of heart

That was so close to being so real

Get up get dressed, Relax and chill

A waste of your time so it seems

Wake up! Get up and forget this dream

I wont be getting trapped after all

Unconscious before after having a fall

Back to reality and feeling quite lost

Counting lucky stars and not just the cost

Aint life grand when you awake

So much better than anything fake

Lets get on with the fantastic tale

Into the sunset we will sail 

A waste of your time so it seems

Wake up! Get up and forget this dream

A coma will always leave you behind

When out of your body and out of your mind.

 Hello old friend "Nice to see you again"

I thought it was you

 but couldn't tell to be true

You look a little different 

from when I saw you last

Who's that behind the Mask? May I ask

Its Only Me Its Only Me Its Only me Its only me

Its Only Me Its only Me
