Paradise

I get up in the morning and I stumble out of bed

Light another cigarette shake the cobwebs from my head

Sitting down for coffee with my fag end still in hand

Staring at her kitchen wall I'm making master plans

My life is paradise,

 I've got more bills than I have cash

There's nothing in my will and I'm running out of stash

My life is paradise

Watch the morning programs in a mind reducing haze

Eating bread and honey cant wait for shopping day

Staring out the windows watch the neighbours go to work

Wish I could go with them, but I can't afford a shirt

My Life is paradise

I've got more bills than I have cash

There's nothing in my will and I'm running out of stash

My life is paradise

Iron Duke ( Found the last draft)

Iron Duke   Version 2

Late night phone calls, ‘cos you’re on your own

Televisions on volume turned to low

British politicians tell me how to live my life

And all you want to know is,

 is if I love you

The Iron Duke is feasting in Vienna

He’s trying to take over the world

Black and white movies just aren’t what they seem

And all you want to know is,

 is if I love you

Suicide bombers in Israeli towns

Bombs in cars and jihad’s called

Twenty thousand fleeing a war torn past

And all you want to know is,

All you need to know is,

is if I love you

Bath Time

Its bath night again,

The ritual begins

Screaming kids don’t wanna get in

Patience waning, temper rising

Number one son is always crying

I don’t wanna get in

Its no fun

I don’t wanna get in

I’ll tell my Mum

Wet the hair,

But not the face

Water splashed all over the place

Scream and whinge, same old junk

Sometimes it’s hard not too dunk

I don’t wanna get in

It’s no fun

I don’t wanna get in

I’ll tell my Mum

Kid’s are happy,

Nice and clean

Why as parents are we so mean

Get him out & dry him off

Been too long he starts to cough

I don’t wanna get out

Im Having fun

I don’t wanna get out

I’ll tell my Mum

I knew it had to happen,

when I left all those years ago

That time would fade your memories,

make it like you didn’t know

the man there in the picture,

taken many years ago

I knew it had to happen,

while the months turned into years

That time would fade your memories

transforming all my fears

into empty, aching, hollowness

that only grows with years

I knew it had to happen,

with every birthday that passed by.

That time would fade your memories,

like every time that I got high.

Thru' the haze, my heart would yearn

While I’m in my bed at night

When you finally get to ask her

She may struggle to reply

Not wanting you to despise

this man  you once called father

How much simpler it would’ve been

 If that knot was made much tighter

I knew it had to happen,

when I left all those years ago

That time would fade your memories,

make it like you didn’t know

the man there in the picture,

taken many years ago

S & M

Beat me clever, beat me stupid

anyway you do it feels like heaven

Slap me silly, slap me quick

C'mon baby lets get sick

Sado-masochism is the way to go

beat me clever c'mon make me blow

Sado-masochism is the way to learn

slap me silly now its your turn

Strap on the harness and the handcuffs too

Bondage is good, is it good for you

Stockmans whip, cat o'nine tails will do

slap me quick take me to the moon

Slap me, beat me, kiss me, kill me

hurt me, heal me, I love your pain

Slap me, beat me, whip me, lick me

hurt me, heal me, your love is pain

Illusion

Illusions are all that they seem

Empty devoid and obscene

Here I am, there you go

There I go, I hear you cry

What's your pain, please explain

Is it anything to do with me

I have your heart and you have mine

Now we're apart, hear you cry

Don't be sad it's not all bad

Is it anything to do with me

I wear your ring, you wear mine

A part of me a part of you

What complaints? please explain

Is it anything to do with me

This love we have it ain't quite sane

Too much hurt and too much pain

Stop it now or start again

Is it anything to do with me

Constipated cow

Her name was Alice

so full of malice

but I loved her
