Having My Way

I can try

To distract myself

Go to bed

And turn off the light

But I know full well

There’s no chance in hell

I won’t be calling him

Tonight

‘You Spin Me (Right Round)’

With
your
smile so
appealing

And
your
humility
endearing

I cannot
help
but get
feeling

You
won’t
be
home
alone

This
evening

Saying It With A Song

I know that you

Will understand

When the play button

You press

As the songs I’ve picked

My love for you depict

In ways I

Could ever express

Mix Tapes

You could just say how you feel

He said

Instead of sending me a song

But these folks are professionals

She said

And I’d only get it wrong

‘When you’re used
Bruised
Black and blued
Don’t think about it
Never doubt it

I’ll walk beside you…’

‘Your Face Is As Mean As Your Life Has Been…’

Nothing can ever take away

These songs that saved my life

But watching you now

Though you can still wow

That tie really is a crime!

‘Handsome Devil’

There
once
was a
light

That
shone
in my
life

But
now it’s
sadly
gone out

For
I have
since
found

Heroes
let
you
down

Of that
there
can be
doubt

I must live my life alone
And though it’s not the easy way
I guess I’ve always known
I’d say goodbye to love…’

Boys Don’t Cry – But I Did

A bit niche, perhaps…

But if you know, you know

‘Always So Lost In The Dark…’

It’s 10.15 on a Friday night and excitement builds all around.

Saturday Waits as the promise of Spidermen and Caterpillars abound.

Like all those Japanese Babies who tumbled through the gate,

I Burn for tales of Cagey Tigers, and dream of Dogs that Shake.

Then I am reminded, as I Move To The Beat,

Why you Imaginary Boys look good enough to eat.

I’m So Glad I Came. To be here On A Night Like This.

If only it could End with Just One (Strawberry) Kiss.

Yet out to The Edge Of The Green Sea I’m cast,

Wondering if this Lost and Lonely feeling will last.

‘Oh all the times I’ve tasted love
Never knew quite what I had
Little darling if you hear me now
Never needed you so bad
Spinning ’round inside my head’

Faith, Devotion And My Imaginary Boys

Each a favourite band

To have on hand

When life gets a little bit dark

For there’s nothing finer

Than a guy in eyeliner

To help mend a broken heart

Cure Mode

Enjoying
the
silence

With my
pictures
of you

Running
to your
heart to
be near

And
although
pleasures
remain

As you
fall into
my arms

Equally,
so does
the pain

To make a thousand matches
Only takes one match

‘Still Remains’

I can remember when I wrote this

Even though it was some time ago

I was lying in bed

Alone in my head

When that song came on the radio

I’d heard it many times before, of course

As it played through my headphones

But this time was different

As my tears fell quicker, and

I felt it in my bones

‘Silence Like A Cancer Grows…’

Back here alone

In this room again

With the darkness

My old friend

Praying for someone

My wounds to tend

Ever hopeful

This pain will end

You should see me in the crowd

‘If this world is wearing thin
And you’re thinking of escape
I’ll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don’t think I’ll understand…’

Spinnin’ round and round
If she don’t get her man back
She’s gonna drown’
