Nikki



Its been a while
Since I’ve seen her smile
Or felt my daughters kiss on my cheek
Its been so long
Since I held her tight
It’s strange each day still feels like a week

My heart burns, it burns for you
This empty pit inside continues to grow
My heart yearns, how it yearns for you
The saddest part is that you’ll never know

On Father’s Day
And their birthday’s
The pain inside just never seems to go
All through these years
And through all my tears
It’s strange still how the days go so slow

My heart burns, oh it burns for you
The empty pit inside continues to ggrow
My heart yearns, yes it yearns for you
The saddest part is that you’ll never know

So late at night
While I try to sleep
I think of you and my need to say
How I love you guys
I still think of you
And I hope all your pain has gone away

My heart burns, oh it burns for you
And through my tears I need to tell you so
My heart yearns, yes it yearns for you
And the saddest part is that you’ll never know

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

Photo

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
