Girl Named Sue
A lifetime ago
I knew a girl,
We were seventeen
her name was Sue.
Still at school,
innocent days.
We had a brief fling
and went our ways,
Haven't seen her now
for fifty years,
when I think of her now
do I sense, a couple of tears?
She was special
you see,
but just too young,
her and me.
We made our lives
found husband and wives,
had kids
grew old, maybe wise.
But still
I dream
what
might have been.
She was special ...

Obsession
Been over a year
that she is gone,
it's now time
to move on.
I tried my best
to help you through,
to be there
to comfort you.
Let her go,
turn the page,
it's all over
another age.
You still believe
that she'll come back,
she's gone my friend
and that's a fact.
But I know
your love is blind,
you're in a daze
you've lost your mind.
Goodbye my friend
of fifty years,
I wish you well
in your living hell.
I tried my best
to set you free, ...
that she is gone,
it's now time
to move on.
I tried my best
to help you through,
to be there
to comfort you.
Let her go,
turn the page,
it's all over
another age.
You still believe
that she'll come back,
she's gone my friend
and that's a fact.
But I know
your love is blind,
you're in a daze
you've lost your mind.
Goodbye my friend
of fifty years,
I wish you well
in your living hell.
I tried my best
to set you free, ...

My Student Days
So long ago
a distant memory
that special time.
Being poor
Being happy
Being alive
Places I remember
the Library, the Students' Union
my Hall of Residence
My friends
what became of them?
where are they now?
My whole life ahead of me,
a time of hope
optimism.
How I miss those days
a different time
a simpler time
I remember that fateful day
when I realised it was all over.
Off you go, don't come back.
Did I make the most of my time?
would I...
a distant memory
that special time.

Bullshit Jobs
What if
we didn't have to
waste our days,
earning a living.
What if machines,
could provide
all we needed
to free mankind.
We passed that point
long ago,
but let's invent some jobs
to keep the plebs in tow.

Trapped
Sitting in an empty bar
on my little island,
half way through a beer
stuck in no-man's land.
Too long now
my life on hold,
too old now
to be too bold.
There come's a time
when it's too late,
to change lane
and trust in fate.
Other lives
across the sea,
up for grabs
but not for me.
Too old you see
to be free,
to give up
what leaves me empty.
So I ask
what's the best,
I can do
to make the most-
I'm trapped you see,
and the best on offer...
on my little island,
half way through a beer
stuck in no-man's land.
Too long now
my life on hold,
too old now
to be too bold.
There come's a time
when it's too late,
to change lane
and trust in fate.
Other lives
across the sea,
up for grabs
but not for me.
Too old you see
to be free,
to give up
what leaves me empty.
So I ask
what's the best,
I can do
to make the most-
I'm trapped you see,
and the best on offer...

Courage
Courage comes in many ways
some we see,
others hide, they steal our days.
A fight
a challenge
a tree to climb,
just be brave
take your time.
But threats appear
in subtle ways,
we do not see
their form for days,
years go by
we cannot see,
how much we lost
no longer free.
Should have walked away
not stay,
in situations
that make us pay,
in lives we lost
along the way.
Move on
we feel our heart to say,
but fear gets
in our way,
the devil we...
some we see,
others hide, they steal our days.

Keeping Busy
Keeping busy
day after day,
gives your life meaning
stops you day-dreaming.
You look down
on other people,
being lazy-
drives you crazy.
But when the game is over
no more floors to shine,
who's the one
who wasted their time.

Alienation
Heading along this dreary road
carrying with me this heavy load,
no space for a needed u-turn
just days filled with time to burn.
Different day, same old way
clothed and fed, but now brain-dead.
Been on this road for many years
no emotion left for any tears,
Now I know how the hamster feels
forever turning those weary wheels.
Different day, same old way
clothed and fed, but now brain-dead.
There was a time, another way
but life just got in my way.
work, work, work
got to work to earn that pay. ...

Sorrow
Time went by
just another day,
unaware
of the price to pay.
All seemed fine
life so kind,
no idea
she could change her mind.
Thought I held
the keys to that gate,
found I didn't
just too late.
Things not said
things not done,
then one day
she was gone.
Learned a lesson
what life brings,
when you just assume
you hold the strings.
Don't assume
don't take for granted,
you may regret
those seeds not planted.
