"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
It would’ve saved a lot of time

Had I walked away long ago
Oh please don’t kid yourself
She said
You’d still have lived a life of woe
‘Should I Stay Or Should I Go’

this
would
end
I’d pack
a bag
and run
away
And not
even

I cannot deny
That there are times
When I imagine the singer in the sack
But mostly the guy
Who really catches my eye
Is the one with the sticks at the back
‘Outlandos d’Amour’
As my

swoons
to his
song
And my
toes
tap to
his
tunes
I
remember
the
romantic
revelry
Of

Hidden

I can’t wait to live by myself
I will do
Whatever I want
Take my opportunity to rebel
But there’s another side
To living alone
When you no longer have another
To share your home
What I never envisaged
All those years ago
Was that my only company now
Would be the radio
Home Alone
It’s Friday night
And I’m here alone
In this house
We used to call home
There’s nothing left now
Just an empty shell
With only me here
Living through hell
