Spring Flower
A sweet spring flower like you
Shouldn't feel so blue
Trapped inside a prison of your own making
Jealous of everyone around
Refusing to believe anyone has it worse
Well, I'm sorry missy, they do!
So take a shower and wash away your cares
Feel the warm caress trickle down
Love thy neighbour, be happy with what they have
For it makes no difference to you, why should it?
Take a look at what you've got; IT'S A LOT
And may it grow, like a flower
Remember, no one owes you a living
It's up to you to make it pay ...
Shouldn't feel so blue
Trapped inside a prison of your own making
Jealous of everyone around
Refusing to believe anyone has it worse
Well, I'm sorry missy, they do!
So take a shower and wash away your cares
Feel the warm caress trickle down
Love thy neighbour, be happy with what they have
For it makes no difference to you, why should it?
Take a look at what you've got; IT'S A LOT
And may it grow, like a flower
Remember, no one owes you a living
It's up to you to make it pay ...

Days Of Darragh
Feels like I'm heading back to the good old days of Darragh -
Back to those happy, carefree, lazy, hazy days,
When all I cared about was how you felt!
Still, I wish I could've read your mind then.
I was only seventeen, d'ya know what I mean?
I didn't have the maturity to handle you,
Handle you emotionally anyway!
In hindsight, it's a good job I couldn't read your mind,
'Cos I wouldn't have liked what I saw inside,
Not that I knew it at the time!
Fast forward twenty seven years,
And...

Domestic Bliss
Your sex will never be enough for me honey,
'Cos what happens when we're through with that baby?
I mean, who's gonna clean the toilet while you're away?
What about the housework, the washing up etc?
...Drinking your bath water will never be enough sweetie!
Who's gonna pick up the kids from school
When you're late back from the meeting?
Me I guess, but that's ok.
Life won't always be about what we want -
But what we NEED to do.
Sure, I'll be waiting for you to get home darling.
What about the garden, can that wait? ...

Neverland
Where is Neverland, indeed where might it be?
Is it that place that sits at the end of a wonderful technicolour rainbow,
Where numerous pots of Krugerrand coins (the 1oz ones) lie?
Or is it somewhere you can never reach, never touch.
Does it go on forever?
I want to find Neverland, I want to lose myself in it,
Surrounded by buildings made of liquorice and chocolate.
Neverland is any place you wish it to be, I am sure.
It might be nasty there, full of never ending nightmares,
Or you might arrive...

That's odd, I thought!

Naughty Innocence
I like women with naughty innocence -
Those who express it well.
Shy outwardly but between the sheets...
Wow;
Anything goes!
Naughty innocence is when my baby looks at me,
Wanting something, waiting for it to happen,
A signal, but she won't act before I do, oh no.
She waits for permission,
To proceed,
To where we go next.
I love that unsure knowing stare.
Those who express it well.
Shy outwardly but between the sheets...
Wow;
Anything goes!
Naughty innocence is when my baby looks at me,
Wanting something, waiting for it to happen,
A signal, but she won't act before I do, oh no.
She waits for permission,
To proceed,
To where we go next.
I love that unsure knowing stare.

Brighton Belle
The Brighton Belle, she's a-rollin'
Rollin' on down the line
She's bringing my baby home
Racing here up against time
Fireman stoke that fire!
Fireman stoke that fire!
He's building up the pressure high
For him it's do or die
Engineer, give it all she's got
Engineer, give it all she's got
He's making those wheels glow red hot
Making those wheels glow red hot!
They'll never put ol' Brighton down
The fastest hunk of steel around
She'll keep on hauling down that line
Hauling here for all time
...

They'll never put ol' Brighton down
The fastest hunk of steel around
She'll keep on hauling down that line
Hauling here for all time

4888 MILES
As I sit here pondering,
Four thousand, eight hundred
And eighty eight miles away,
I wonder how it could have been,
What indeed was left unseen;
The resonance of your voice -
My ears may never hear...
I never sounded you out;
Grounded it out far too long.
I should have been less divisive
More decisive!
Ok, 4,888 miles away, a year in the planning.
We were only gonna meet for coffee,
Hear what was said, see where it led.
It was worth the thrill, wasn't it babe?
It was our dream.
I even passed through...
Four thousand, eight hundred
And eighty eight miles away,
I wonder how it could have been,
What indeed was left unseen;
The resonance of your voice -
My ears may never hear...
I never sounded you out;
Grounded it out far too long.
I should have been less divisive
More decisive!
Ok, 4,888 miles away, a year in the planning.
We were only gonna meet for coffee,
Hear what was said, see where it led.
It was worth the thrill, wasn't it babe?
It was our dream.
I even passed through...
