Don’t bother asking me
As I will only say no
I’m only drinking
To stop me thinking
So I’ll just buy my own
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Don’t bother asking me
As I will only say no
I’m only drinking
To stop me thinking
So I’ll just buy my own

‘Stab the body and it heals, but injure the heart and the wound lasts a lifetime.’

‘…But there’s no hard feelings
There’s no feelings at all…’

Frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin’ auld lang syne.’

“New year, new me”
Is that what you want me to say?
Well, I’m not pretending
I’ll get a happy ending
Just like any other Friday
Although I sit here alone
Devoid of all mirth
I may well be full of wine
But I still know my worth
‘Make love your goal…’
‘Keep the change you filthy animal’
‘And is evil just something you are?
Or something you do?’

‘Reach out and touch faith’
“I wish neither to possess nor to be possessed. I no longer covet ‘paradise’. More important, I no longer fear ‘hell’. The medicine for my suffering I had within me from the very beginning but I did not take it. My ailment came from within myself, but I did not observe it, until this moment. Now I see that I will never find the light unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel, consuming myself.”
– Bruce Lee
You find me here alone
Broken and desolate
With nothing to call my own
Except for beer and regret
‘You can read my diary, you’re in every line…’

‘I’m tired of the song that sorrow sings…’
Mother, I cannot mind my wheel;
My fingers ache, my lips are dry;
Oh! if you felt the pain I feel!
But oh, who ever felt as I!
– Sappho (7th Century BC)
Translated by Walter Savage Landor
You should say no
But you don’t
I ought to go
But I won’t
‘Chimes sing Sunday morn
Today’s the day she’s sworn
To steal what she never could own
And race from this hole she calls home‘
‘Where are the roses
And whispered sighs
Where are the compliments
And dreaming eyes
It doesn’t matter you see
I know you love me
And real basic love never dies’

For love I’ll never find’

He said
Sit with us and have some fun
I’d rather drink alone

When all is said and done
‘I’m so happy
‘Cause today I found my friends
They’re in my head’
“So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?”
– Hunter S. Thompson
I’ll quite happily talk to you
She said
But let me make this clear
I’m not going to sleep with you
She said
I just quite fancy a beer

When I just want to sit here and watch you undress’
“I’m always looking for meaningful one-night stands”

Always said you were misunderstood
Made all my moments your own
Just fucking leave me alone’
