This Isn’t Fate
Hope plucks a harp string
As a mother sobs at parting
From a swaddled life just starting
The snow lay deep here last spring
Grit and graft will see you
Whilst others stand beside you
These daffodils will grow through
Amongst the trees that always stood here
He’ll place a stone on the cairn
So those that follow can find the way
The moonlight fades. This isn’t fate
We’ll ride the buses all night
He’ll sink a few before a fight
Her words fell silent despite
Feet ready to run and blue eyes bright
He suffered the majority
Whilst knowing morality
Building for his city
These arteries flowed ultimately
He’ll place a stone on the cairn
So those that follow can find the way
The moonlight fades. This isn’t fate

Got it Made
You have got it made,
All that you can dream of.
Day after blessed day
Fits you like a glove.
You’re loved too much but not enough
For you to understand, no one will hold your hand
When things get tough, and they ride roughshod
Over all your plans and management demands.
Never been betrayed,
Never swum upstream.
The only price that you must pay
Is this is all someone else’s dream.
You’re loved too much but not enough
For you to understand, no one will hold your hand
When things get tough, and they ride roughshod
Over all your plans, you stand on sinking sands.
When did this need for approval
Get so strong that you couldn’t move?
Can you remember a time you belonged without trying?
When telling the truth felt better than lying?
You have got it made,
All that you can dream of.

The Restless Night
Where old Tom Joad met Pretty Boy Floyd
As the royal barge sailed grey river decked in gold
Lives lie cold on beaches as they search to grow old
In this suffragette city, lies shame and pity
We thought twice, not everything was alright.
When the cloud breaks and the thunder clears
Light will bear witness as a new dawn nears. From the restless night.
Old Tom he swung and Floyd he fell
They rolled and tumbled, knuckles dusted well
As soil settled down no blood was spilled
No love was lost. Destiny fulfilled.
We thought twice, not everything was alright.
When the cloud breaks and the thunder clears
Light will bear witness as a new dawn nears. From the restless night.
Establishment truth confirms their bias.
In layman's terms more than a few of them are liars.
The water in the think tank refracts reality.
Murky gloom absorbs light meant for you and me.
We thought twice, not everything was alright.
When the cloud breaks and the thunder clears
Light will bear witness as a new dawn nears. From the restless night.
They'd get on their bikes to hunt for work
If they weren't broken on a hillside desolate.
A charming man of privileged provenance
Denies to others the fruits of labour.
We thought twice, not everything was alright.
When the cloud breaks and the thunder clears
Light will bear witness as a new dawn nears. From the restless night.
This cotton ain’t cheap silk. It’s dignity. Society. Unbounded integrity.
This changes everything, an odyssey for sanity.

This Decade’s Gone
This decade’s gone, and I got it wrong, I got it wrong.
There’s an old lady across from me, she’s got life in her eyes.
But those eighty-five years, have not been without tears, not been without a fight.
No-one gave me a book of rules, no-one wrote a script.
You make it up, you lap it up, time’s a constant itch.
This decade’s gone, and I got it wrong, I got it wrong.
Tell me about time, the film maker said, tell me about time.
Through those walls, poetry from a man, who was almost dead
A minute can last a lifetime, a year pass in a flash,
You blink and it’s gone, don’t know what went wrong, another year has passed.
Time’s everybody’s friend, it will never let you down,
So go with it, make piece with it, make peace with it.

Passing Clouds
There have been times when lately I have gone
out of my mind with worries, on and on.
But every day
that damn sun always rises.
I’m not the first to discover regret.
Won’t be the last to lose someone, and yet
show me the way
cos I can’t seem to find it.
But I heard my father say
it’s only love we have each day.
Passing clouds
Blown away.
Shadows fall as twilight creeps on in.
Bruises sinking deep within the skin,
that sticks and stones
have well and truly broken.
And far above
black holes we cannot see,
they’d always been a mystery.
Not any more, there’s one right here to pour all my love into.
But I heard my father say
It’s only love we have each day.
Passing clouds
Blown away.
Oh and I know that we’re not here to stay,
pick your battles for another day.
They say things fall apart,
You just flew
