Beside me
You're laying here beside me, your hand in my chest hair,
You would never believe the comfort it brings me just being there.
Your breathing is soft and steady so I know you're sleeping well,
I'm so lucky I eventually found you and that you somehow became my girl.
I can actually count myself as one of a lucky few,
That's found their soul mate and feel a love so true.
I find myself relaxing underneath your touch,
And this is just a quick note to say I love you so very much.

You’re
You’re the pillow on which I rest my head,
You’re the most lavish of carpets on the ground.
When I’m tired you’re the sheet on which I spread,
And I wish so much you were still around.
You’re my only one true friend,
You’re the only love of my life.
I love you more even past the end,
You were the idyllic wife.
You’re the comfiest pair of trainers,
You’re the warmest pair of socks.
You’re the cosiest of all houses,
You’re the most secure of any locks.
You’re the best friend I could ever have wished for,
You’re the epitome of...
You’re the most lavish of carpets on the ground.
When I’m tired you’re the sheet on which I spread,
And I wish so much you were still around.
You’re my only one true friend,
You’re the only love of my life.
I love you more even past the end,
You were the idyllic wife.
You’re the comfiest pair of trainers,
You’re the warmest pair of socks.
You’re the cosiest of all houses,
You’re the most secure of any locks.
You’re the best friend I could ever have wished for,
You’re the epitome of...

Unrequited
She’s amazing, she’s my very best mate,
But there’s one thing I’ve got to get off my plate.
Whenever she’s breaking up with her fella I’m the only one she phones,
So as shit luck would have it, I’m firmly in the friend zone.
We sit for hours chatting and playing cards,
Then she talks about her fella and it truly hurts my heart.
I sit there and listen to all of her issues,
I’m the shoulder to cry on, I hand her the tissues.
Fair enough I’ve never had the balls to say,
The way I feel about her is more than a friendly way.
The hardest...

Storm
I sit alone looking out the window and darkness meets my gaze.
I sit here alone wishing for brighter sunnier days.
But wishing is essentially just a dream,
As even in the summer the sky’s dark or so it seems.
There seems to be a dark stormy cloud that follows me around,
Weighing upon my shoulders, pushing me down.
I don’t know how to get rid of this one man storm,
Is it just above me or is this the norm?
I’m at my wits end, don’t know what to do,
This dark rainy cloud has soaked me right through.
I long to see the sun and its golden yellow, ...

Fuel
So here we are with nowhere around,
Where we can go with petrol to be found.
People queuing at stations armed with pockets of fivers,
But it isn’t fuel we’re lacking, it’s the drivers.
Yet another result from leaving the EU,
Is that HGV drivers are now too few.
Apparently loads of foreign drivers have gone back home,
Something that surely, we should’ve seen and known.
They also say many drivers have retired,
Whoever sorts out the logistics should definitely be fired!!
People waiting for ages at forecourt pumps,
Then the fuel runs out and...
Where we can go with petrol to be found.

But it isn’t fuel we’re lacking, it’s the drivers.

Piss taker #3
So yet again I've been rinsed completely,
Because a "friend" of mine was acting so needy.
I let him stay, opened up my doors,
Without realising, there would be wars.
Yet again, didn't pay for a thing,
He spent all his money on slots waiting to win.
I like to think I'm a nice guy,
So how come he sucker punched me in the eye?
All I tried to do was take him off the streets,
Tried to make him think life is sweet.
I don't know where I'm going wrong,
As to treat me this way, the hate must be so strong.
I'm done now, got nothing left to...

Bewildered
For a change the whole of England was rejoicing,
About those 2 goals our players were scoring.
All of a sudden everyone was united,
Nothing at all could ever divide us.
But hang on and please just wait a sec,
There's this thought that's running round my head.
People suddenly flying the flag for players on the field,
For a game of footie, but what about for our soldiers on the battlefields?
Those geezers that run around on a pitch,
Feeling hard done by as they got a stitch.
How do they compare to our troops overseas?
The chasm between...
