Celebrate - International Women's Day

Hey dude what have you got to say
Celebrate it's International Women's day
Each and every man and boy
Will always be his mothers pride and joy
Without the female of the species
We would not exist to pick up the pieces
Take the time honour with pride Your mum daughter or sister 
Don't forget your work colleagues mister
What's the story my mate
International Women's Day celebrate

Hey guy...

Slaughter In The Holy Land

Slaughter in the holy land
I find it so hard to understand 
How do you even contemplate
The sheer barbaric attitude and hate
Whether you are gentile or jew
Muslim or christian to name a few
Whatever became of peace and love
Dear god in the heavens above

The human species is insane
Even an animal has some refrain
Where did it go caring and compassion
Good samaritans are out of fashion

It's A Dogs Life

It's a dogs life
For a stud or a bitch quagmire 
Nothing to set your heart on fire
A miserable and unhappy existence 
Bark and growl show some resistance 
You reap what you sow that's for sure
Dream on people karma will not cure
It's a dogs life
You made your bed on to lie
It's a dogs life
No escape not even worth a try
It's a dogs life

It's a dogs life
You are always on a tight lea...

Vitamin D - The Drug For Me ☀️

Vitamin D is the drug for me
Just a little sunshine sets me free
Too many days spent alone in the dark
Whats the solution a walk in the park
I was down and strung out see
Vitamin D is the drug for me

Cigarettes and alcohol take their toll
Sooner or later you are out of control
The kids are on ketamine do tell
Vape shops on every corner swell
Under the counter drugs of your choice

Mad As A March Hare

Mad as a march hare
I no longer give a damn or care
Life is a lie can you tell me why
An illusion my friend to give a try
Go to school get an education
Make a contribution to a failing nation
Throw caution to the wind truth or dare
Mad as a march hare

Mad as a march hare
Mad as a box of frogs so there
The seasons come and they go
I'm on overload about to blow
Give me a reason not to ...

Spring Is In The Air 🐇🦋🌷

Spring is in the air
March has played it's hand
Spring is in the air
Fair daffodils bloom I understand
The season it is a changing
Days become brighter and last longer
Flowers grow abundant and stronger
Spring is in the air

Spring is in the air
Baby lambs frolic in the fields
Spring is in the air
A bountiful harvest it will yield
Awake me from hibernation okay

A Heart Full Of Happiness

A heart full of happiness 
A life embraced with pure joy
Memories of enchanted times
The love of a girl and boy
A heart full of happiness 
My cup is overflowing 
A heart full of happiness 
Shine your light on me glowing
A heart full of happiness

A heart full of happiness
Every day is pain but I soldier on
It is all that I have to survive 
Now that you are dead and gone

Eat Shit And Die

Eat shit and die
I'm telling the truth that's why 
You are what you eat they say
Look all around you man hey
Takeaway here and fast food there
Deliveroo or just eat they don't care
What you gonna do moan and cry
Or just eat shit and die

Eat shit and die
Your life is going to be short oh my
If your food comes from the ground
That's hopefully safe and sound
If it is walking around that...

Nothing Lasts Forever

Nothing lasts forever 
The clock is ticking fast
You thought you had it made
It's just too good to last
The air you breath is only borrowed 
Suck it up while you can have a blast
Nothing lasts forever

Nothing lasts forever
That what my man Buddha said
Permanent is what you don't get
You live you die you're dead
Here today gone in a flash tomorrow 
Laughter tears fears enough said

You Touched My Heart ❤️

You touched my heart made me quiver
An emotional deep shiver
Didn't think you had a care for me
You have beguiled me can't you see
Let the loving finally start
You touched my heart

There are times when hope has gone
But I know I must soldier on
The road ahead is a journey uncertain 
Live your life before the final curtain
Give plenty and you shall receive 
You reap what you sow I beli...

Hurray It's Pancake Day

This Tuesday is gonna be swell
Somethings cooking do tell
The kitchen is getting kinda busy
Kids are running wild and dizzy
Momma is in charge that's brill
There are hungry bellies to fill
Eggs are cracked flour and milk flow
The pan is hot and ready let's go

Lemon and sugar strawberries and cream

My Heart Is My Home

My heart is my home
I return wherever I may roam
A place of refuge from a world of woe
Embrace me never let me go
Abandoned I will never be alone
My heart is my home

Feelings can sometimes overcome 
Out of your control you feel numb
The actions of others can overload 
And derail you on your life's road
Is your cup half full or half empty
You will question your sanity plenty
You live ...

Recipe For Love ❤️

A recipe for love
Satisfy your carnal thunder 
A recipe for love
On a plate feed  your hunger
A recipe for love
An appetite tears you asunder

The ingredients can be essential 
For you to achieve your potential 
A smile that lights up the room
Deep lust that makes you swoon
The touch that tingles your soul
A stolen kiss and you lose control
Your taste buds explode with fire
As you sa...

Friday 13th

Woke up this morning with a start
There was a pounding in my heart
The calendar screamed the number thirteen
Am I alive or caught in a dream
I am not a believer in superstition
But life is a shambolic condition 

Friday thirteenth unlucky for some
Saw a black cat son of a gun 
Thirteen disciples  sat down for a meal
Jesus was crucified how does it feel
Friday thirteenth unlucky for some

Thursday - Take Me Away

Thursday take me away
To a land of sunshine all day
Let me fly across an azure sky
Floating on a cloud a natural high
On a sandy beach cocktail in hand
Caressed by a warm zephyr understand 
Thursday take me away

Do you ever feel like leaving town
When life and work gets you down
Like a hamster on the daily grind
You are not alone you will find

Monday Makes Me Cry

Monday makes me cry
The day you said your last goodbye
A moment of reflection I take
But it doesn't help my heartache
Monday makes me cry

Another day arrives here and gone
Time it marches boldly on
Weeks and months flash by
They consume me and I wonder why
Your passing I find hard to bear
An empty feeling inside so there
Full of memories and reflection
Lost in the wilderness no direc...

Looking At You

Looking at you
Is like heaven it's true
Looking at you
I'm on the right road
Looking at you
My feelings about to explode
Looking at you

I see you walking down the street again
You don't notice me or feel my pain 
I throw you a glance a while
As our paths cross I catch a smile
My heart it is mightly pounding
I am hooked and it is astounding

That's all you ever get

One existence is all you gonna get

Born again that's not gonna happen

Sucked like dripping orange lolly

Scream until your lungs they burst
Your life is a shambles and cursed
Scream blue murder for crying out loud
It's primal and will make you proud
Scream and scream again

You brought me to life
Opened my heart made me whole
You brought me to life
Awakened my dormant soul
Now I am alive
I was merely just existing
Now I am alive

The weeks fly on by so fast
Months turn into years aghast
Time it refuses to stand still
All I can do is take my fill

Whatever happened to the constitution 
Just around the corner is revolution

Unreal stranger than fiction
My paddle is an extra hand
Thats a fact you understand
Focused and ready for action I smile 
Lost in paradise for a short while

Chris Rea RIP 🙏

I heard the news today with dismay
They said you were dead and gone
I was listening to your tunes always
You always had a way with words and song
For seventy four years you thrived
You will be missed but the music will live on

Driving home for Christmas 
Down on the beach okay
Where do we go from here 
Sweet summer day I pray

I know you had your struggles
And your health it was poor

Men and boys that for our freedom died
For this once great nation they fought
Families for sons and husbands they cried
Off to war for king and country they marched
Sacrifice they took in their stride 
From the slaughter of the somme
To the battles of world war two
Our leaders they sent them to war
Sacrificial lambs cannon fodder it's true

My voice it died a long time ago

Autumn Blues

Autumn blues they trouble me so 
As I kick up the fallen leaves
Seasons come quickly around
I drink in the view as my soul grieves
A kaledescope of colour explodes
Hues of burnt orange yellow and red
The dew lays gently on the fields
As I meander forlorn enough said

A time of year that reminds me of you
In the misty morning I reflect
Strolling hand in hand in the forest
