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
‘This Is The End…’
Imagine
what you

achieveHe

you just
tried
harderI’ve
done all
I can
to stay
aliveShe
saidI can’t
possibly
go any
farther
‘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
‘Bought On Stolen Wine…’
All of
those
hoursSat in
your

Fuck

I

that’s

When
you

it all
on a

‘Not Another Day…’
Another
day
Another

Will
this
one

Feel
less
ill?
‘Same Tale Every Time…’
At
first
light
in the
morning
Just
as a
new
day is
dawning
The
birds
issue
their
final
warning
And
the
tears
from
my eyes
start
pouring
‘The Boy’s No Good… ‘
I
listen
to all
the words
you say
And my
pain
slowly
ebbs
away
‘It’s In The Trees…’
How do I give you up
My drug of choice
You don’t stand a chance
Whispers a voice
‘All The Time…’
If I
could
be
Who
you
want
Me
to
be
Perhaps
then
we
Would
both be
happy
‘Don’t Marry Her, Fuck Me…’
Get
me
to
the

I
need
to
claim

mine
‘I’ll Be There…’
They
say
you’re
not on
your
own
But
it
certainly
feels
like
it
Over
time
they
all
fade
away
While
you’re
still
wading
through
shit
‘A Song From Under The Floorboards’
We
really
should
not
be
here
I’ve
known
this
from
the
start
And
now
you
wanting
me to
stay
Does
nothing
but
break
my
heart
(Not Too) Many Happy Returns
Happy
Birthday
to you
I hope
you
have
fun
I didn’t
send you
a card
Because
you don’t
deserve
one
‘The Hardest Word’
Please
can
you
come
back
She
begged
I’ll
get
down
on my
knees
But
you
told
me
you
didn’t
want me
He
said
So I
thought
you
would be
pleased
‘Still Life’
It’s too
quiet
for my

I don’t

cope

‘It’s The End Of The World As We Know It…’
So is this it
Do you think
Humankind
On the brink
Of utter demise
Total collapse
Never to see
Another sunrise perhaps
Or will we live on
For another chance
To think and to dream
Whilst our souls advance

Am I over

‘Hand In Glove’
Some days
your hand
fits
perfectly
in mine
Our love
flows freely
and
sparkles
like wine
Some days
I can’t
bear
to hold
your hand
For reasons,
sadly,
you could
never
understand
Literally
Last night
I dreamt
That somebody
hugged me
It was the best
night’s sleep
I’ve had
in months
‘The Walk Of Life’
I wander
off the
beaten
track
Mulling
it over
in my
mind
I dream
about
what’s yet
to come
And
lament
what I’ve
left behind

‘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 Dogs who Shake.
And then I am reminded, as I Move To The Beat,
Why you Imaginary Boys always look so good enough to eat.
I’m So Glad I Came. That I finally made it to A Night Like This.
If only it could end with Just One (Strawberry) Kiss.
Alas, I am cast adrift to the Edge of the Deep Green Sea.
Wondering Why I Can’t Be You and not so Lost and Lonely.
