I’ve forgotten
What you sound like
Now
And it cuts me
Like a knife
I’m not sure if
I can cope
With such a silence
In my life
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
I’ve forgotten
What you sound like
Now
And it cuts me
Like a knife
I’m not sure if
I can cope
With such a silence
In my life
Fancy coming up
He said
For a night
Of unbridled bliss?
I shouldn’t think so pal
She said
After all,
I’ve heard you piss!
Are you some kind of freak
He said
When someone pees
You listen in?
It honestly can’t be helped
She said
These walls
Are paper thin!
I went back into that bookshop
Just for old times sake
And although they played
A different song today
I still remembered our first date
The Bookshop (1)
I went
in there
just now
The one
I went into
with you
They were
playing
your song
on the radio
And because
you would
have smiled,
I smiled too

Nobody says ‘potahto’
The
packet
cracks
As
the
tablet
snaps
And I
glug it
down
with
water
My
whole
body
contracts
As
I face
the
facts
That
I am my
mother’s
daughter
It’s
never
been
as
quiet
here
Since
the
day
you
left
Not
only
did
you
break
my
heart
But
you
left
my
ears
bereft
I’m so
glad
I went
out of
my way
To walk
along
this
beach
today
To
remember
all those
good times
past
Whilst
making
new
memories
to last
It’s not
that I
love this
city
It’s that
I love
who I am
when I’m here
