Aint it hard to be YOU, aint it soo hard? If I asked you to write one line on a card, explain who you are? how would you take it? how far? One line to quantify you?, Would it be?, I'm me and I'm glad that I'm not you? Or, I wish I was YOU, thats what I want to be!,,Wow, that could be true, depending on what you see?
decisions you make, paths you take, life will be ultimately lead you where you have to be! So?,,,,,,,,, do you want to be you?,,,,,,,,,, or do you want to be me?

Ever find yourself lost? I see beauty all around, still dont care, should I go for help? or just jump on someones bandwagon? be part of life stupidity?,, tomorrow will hopefully appear, I'm still looking for my bandwagon, oh no,,, brooks and dunne, Neon Moon,,,time to relax!


No rhymes,, sorry.

So Russia may invade Ukraine? War again? Wow, how insane! It's obvious its meant to be, unless, those in power are made to see, that WE see, their manulipation, total particapition, guiding it along, they dont care, right or wrong,
The highest degree of stupidity, lies in the hands of just three. (Russia, China, USA)
So, you and me, we have nothing to give, all we want is to live, in peace and tranquility, how it was meant to be, human beings born free!
Something went wrong along the line, God never meant this to be ok or fine, Unless there is no God and nothing matters, life in tatters?, Who cares?, its over anyway in a blink, you swim or you sink, and then start it all over, born anew, new me, its nice to see you, nice to be, here,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,nothing lost , no cost, nothing to fear, so lets start again, I know whats right, follow my light!,,,I won't lead you astray, if you listen to what I say, just give your all to me, I'll be true to you, you will see!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,(he, he, he,)

I used to hurt people
Now I'm afraid
Used to burst forth like sunrise
Now I cower in the shade

Used to talk on unending
Now I rarely make a sound
Once the envy of high classes
Now no one has me come around

I'm starting to get nervous
Writing on here and now
Once not trying to be clever
Think I need to lay down

Believe I need you
Here now

I'd rather go home
and live up a tree
than to be dry forever
and forget the 'ol sea

and I'd rather go hungry
than eat on the street
than miss every wave
and places they meet

I'd rather live in a hole
and stare at the stars
than live in the veins
of buses and cars

and I'd rather leave you
than live in the town
where the air is a stranger
and you wear the 'ol frown

I'd rather not laugh
if the cost was too much
If I never felt salt
in the places we touch

and I'd rather take truth
that a palace of lies
as time is an arrow
and flawless she flies

I'd rather hold you
than own your whole soul
and I'd rather go hungry
than live on the dole

and I'd rather grow old
that to be young in chains
as the sea has my heart
and it always remains

bearded, wild
quick tempered be
my natural place
is on the sea

my northern star
her memory
the anchor locker
and the quay

nets to fire
rope to splice
my heart in summer
full of ice

her smile the sun
her form the shore
wrought from toil
her lips are pure

I see her now
amongst the waves
those hazel eyes
the tide betrays

net mending
as the season grows
needle dancing
through the rows

my hands are coarse
sandpaper'd rough
mist kissed skies
are not enough

blonde curtains draped
her smile unfurled
her hair falls over
the globe of my world

you can ride of the zest
of a smile, girl
if you want to

you can walk on the side
of the earth, girl
like I do

like a bird who can sing
but never will
like a tide that sleeps
but is never still

or a line from from a film
that won't be seen at all

I can see by the way
you sleep, girl
your a broke shoe

and when dawn meets your eyes
I'm up and gone
like morn dew

so go go to the place
where the sea meets the sand
dive into the time
and away from the land

you can turn it round
if you want to, don't you see?

People live in bubbles now.
Safely in their shell.
Appearing to communicate.
Getting on well.

Witty, charming, intelligent, sweet.
Someone you really want to meet.
Trouble is, and it is a curse.
When you meet...the bubble bursts!

I was mending a hull
'neath the crying gull
when the call
came down the line
my dad had gone
his time had come
and a world of hurt
was mine

left my girl
to anger swirl
told her "needed space"
but I was dust
not even lust
could the hurtin'
I replace

time dragged on
when I was gone
my love
I failed to warn her
about the rendezvous
I shared with you
in a pub
on poet's corner

"I'm the ghost
of every girl you've loved"
your spectre
said to me
I'll haunt your mind
till you go blind
and then
I'll let you be

"and the bird
that nested
in the eve
fed its young
in Byron's sleeve
in the pub
on poet's corner"

so every night
my daily fight
is a scramble
to emerge
strong and well
from the bowels of hell
where dark
and madness merge

where music
from the walls
is bled
by DJ Jazzy
and a girl called Red

"and the bird
that nested in the eve
told me that
I'd never leave
the pub
on poet's corner"
