It’s all too easy
To fall in love
With the brilliance
Of your music
Yet for such a charming,
Handsome man
It seems you were
A bit of a prick
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
It’s all too easy
To fall in love
With the brilliance
Of your music
Yet for such a charming,
Handsome man
It seems you were
A bit of a prick
To listen back
Is the best escape
As you never forget
Your first mix tape
(Nor the one who sent it)
You’d better
Get them off
She said
Come on now
Don’t be shy
It won’t be long
Until the end of the song
And we’ll both
Be saying goodbye
Thank you
So much
For your
Concern
But I
Am doing
Just fine
I don’t feel
I need to
Be healed
So your offer
I must decline
I know you think
Your little ditty
Conveys sincerity
And depth
But your face
Is far too
To have
The desired effect
They say you
Should never
Go home again
As you’ll only
Be disappointed
But it’s being back
On the road again
That makes me feel
Disjointed
“Life…has been unfaithful”
A bond that was formed
Many years ago
A shared experience
Of misery and woe
And although we felt
Our ills in abundance
Still we emerged
Utterly triumphant
When those bands
Of old
Don’t speak to you
And the comfort
Of music
Is gone
It won’t matter
Where
Because
I’ll be there
To help you
Carry on
“Love…
The kind you clean up with a mop and bucket”
“But my heart, it won’t do babe
It won’t do, without you”
“There shouldn’t be this radio silence
But what are the options?”
‘I guess I should have let you win…’
‘I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow’
“You know I’m tied to you
Like the buttons on your blouse”
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

‘Oh, how can I forget you?
When there is always something there to remind me…’
‘Sometimes I forget I’m still awake
I fuck up and say these things out loud…’
‘Well, the world turns…’
I know it’s only
One year on
But I’m still quite proud
Of this
Yet if I’ve had one thought
It’s that I should’ve sought
A better word
To rhyme with Elvis
Until Next Year…
As the calendar page turns once more
We are granted our reprieve
Thank you so much Mariah
Now you can fucking leave
Take that whiny choirboy with you
And that dick who thinks he’s Elvis
Bing and Bowie can piss off too
With their ‘pa rum pum pum pum’ bullshit
We’re happy to wave you off John
Although your message is appreciated
Best take your mate Paul with you though
Before we have his keyboard castrated
It’s time to step out and away now Elton
With The Jacksons, Jonah and Chuck
And as for the ‘NYPD choir’
We couldn’t give less of a fuck
We’ll really only miss you George
Like we do nearly every day
So perhaps, this year, we could keep you
Instead of giving you away

‘When you’re used
Bruised
Black and blued
Don’t think about it
Never doubt it
I’ll walk beside you…’
The worst is in the office
With the radio on
And no-one bats an eyelid
When they play our favourite song
Xxx
Name That Tune
People play
those songs
With no notion
of this pain
No idea that
when I hear them
My heart bleeds
for you again

‘You don’t want me now
But I’m gonna change your mind
Someway, somehow, oh baby…’
“You’ll never watch your life slide out of view…”
“Someone once asked me: ‘why do you love music so much?’ I replied: ‘because it’s the only thing that stays when everything and everyone is gone.'”
– Kid Cudi
“But I don’t really care how bad it hurts
When you broke me first”
‘I will do better in the morning…’
‘Who needs action when you’ve got words’
‘I’ll take you up to the highest heights
Let’s spread our wings and fly away’
‘Love is a losing game
One I wished I never played
Oh what a mess we made…’
‘All my tears have been used up
On another love….’
