The World Is Your Oyster...Card
(Billy Snagg/Norris Niblet)
The world is his Oyster card,
Scar it in his life story Shard.
London -
Zones 1 to 6,
Making his mental hits,
Where the limitation of his mind permits.
Precious memories he tries to find,
That he’ll never donate in kind.
The World is his Oyster card,
Touching in, touching out.
A bus trip here,
A tube journey there.
Never venturing far
Into the unknown,
'Country zone'
That alien territory,
Of unfamiliar landscapes -
Strange fares.
His...

Lair Of Dismay
In the lair of my dismay
Trying to find a better way
I wasn't rolling in the hay
This sad and lonely rainy day!
But in the lair of my dismay
I did eventually find a way
Joyfully rolling in the hay
A fine and glorious summer's day!
Trying to find a better way
I wasn't rolling in the hay
This sad and lonely rainy day!
But in the lair of my dismay
I did eventually find a way
Joyfully rolling in the hay
A fine and glorious summer's day!

Under That Tree
There I would stand, under that tree,
Under a tree that was protecting me.
There I would sit, under a cloud,
Under that cloud, I'd laugh out loud!
Observing happy children play,
Under that tree, with ice cream in hand;
Knowing they wouldn't have to say No!
It's a place where people liked to go.
I felt safe under that tree -
Under a tree,
No one laughing at me.
You're my umbrella, my solitude,
You take me away from those so rude.
Under that tree, watching over me,
Understanding forever all that...
Under a tree that was protecting me.
There I would sit, under a cloud,
Under that cloud, I'd laugh out loud!
Observing happy children play,
Under that tree, with ice cream in hand;
Knowing they wouldn't have to say No!
It's a place where people liked to go.
I felt safe under that tree -
Under a tree,
No one laughing at me.
You're my umbrella, my solitude,
You take me away from those so rude.
Under that tree, watching over me,
Understanding forever all that...

Not Like This!
Death took you away from us.
We did not deserve this!
In life's place, emptiness -
A void...
Irreplaceable.
Most things in life are replaceable,
But not you, unfortunately.
We only get one shot.
So here we are; finding ourselves...
Shortchanged; without warning,
Time runs out, no second chances,
No last goodbyes.
Before you know it, your number's up,
It can't be redrawn, that's the thing.
Someone stole you away from us,
They're hiding you somewhere,
Death's hostage, so final. ...

Knickerbocker Glory
This is my entitlement, it's what I deserve,
After all, I am a lady you know,
And that gives me certain privileges,
Like which of the best restaurants
I decide you're gonna take me..."
Why do I have to take you to all the best places,
That's my choice isn't it? After all I'm paying, right!
If you wanna pay...then we'll do it your way.
Beggars can't be choosers, only users and losers, yeah?
Ok, so what is it you actually want,
Me, or the surroundings I can potentially offer?
Shouldn't the environment be more about the company, ...

One Of The Crowd
It didn't go the way you thought it'd go.
Might've guessed they'd not understand.
You were carrying round a bundle of torment -
However you tried it could not be undone.
Hollow whispers from the ignorant torrent,
But it's easy to mock when you're one of the crowd,
Just carrying on, laughing out loud.
They were trying to destroy all your pride,
By leaving you with nowhere to hide.
Just because you're not one of the crowd,
You know who you are, so keep feeling proud.
It doesn't matter if they're empty inside,
I like...

Genesis (The theory of nothing)
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? More likely the egg huh, cos without the egg you couldn't have the chicken, right? Eggs are smaller and more embryonic somehow - easier to manufacture.
It just seems more likely. As for Humankind...I believe a comet was the giant sperm that carried the nutrients needed to kick-start life when it slammed into this Earth, many eons ago. Lightning then struck the shattered remnants so that life could begin. After all, if one has a heart attack, it is often electricity that will bring us back to life when all other attempts have failed.

Osterley Bookshop Brigade
(Billy Snagg/S.R.C)
The Osterley Bookshop brigade
What a bunch!
They really believe they got it made
Doing a good trade
What else matters?
These middle-class snobs
They offer so much
Yet...
Deliver so little -
Worse, they can't even see it.
Second class treatment bestowed
Upon those deemed inferior to them -
Oh yes, it can be subtle but it's there.
"Oh give 'em a tip and call it twenty"
All well and good when YOU have plenty!
Walnut and carrot cake
Gathered around in their little...

Majestic Rose...
You are as beautiful as the setting sun,
The morning dew that covers fields,
A delicate flower opening in spring -
Yes, you are my everything!
Your beauty is not only skin deep.
Your mind transcends -
Shadow and gloom, remotest moon.
You are magnificent, majestic, yet that's only half of it.
You are temperamental, moody and foxy too!
You know what you're about.
You are a book without the page.
The fuel I cannot gauge,
Waves I cannot break,
The beauty I cannot fake.
You're the early morning rise,
The cause...
The morning dew that covers fields,
A delicate flower opening in spring -
Yes, you are my everything!
Your beauty is not only skin deep.
Your mind transcends -
Shadow and gloom, remotest moon.
You are magnificent, majestic, yet that's only half of it.
You are temperamental, moody and foxy too!
You know what you're about.
You are a book without the page.
The fuel I cannot gauge,
Waves I cannot break,
The beauty I cannot fake.
You're the early morning rise,

So Here We Are...
So, here we are, we've travelled far -
On the brink of immortality...
It has taken over five years,
Eight months and sixteen days to complete but we are almost home.
We've stuck at it through thick and thin.
You were only 12 years old and a different person then,
But it didn't stop us!
Now you're a man and I'm so happy you've given us this opportunity
Because I would not have done it without you!
Four and a half miles from Crystal Palace to Tooting Bec Common
Is all that separates us now, from...
On the brink of immortality...
It has taken over five years,
Eight months and sixteen days to complete but we are almost home.
We've stuck at it through thick and thin.
You were only 12 years old and a different person then,
But it didn't stop us!
Now you're a man and I'm so happy you've given us this opportunity
Because I would not have done it without you!
Four and a half miles from Crystal Palace to Tooting Bec Common
Is all that separates us now, from...
