Watching as the host makes her entrance
We trees swill our auburn brandy
in glasses of cut crystal,
try to mingle as the party
dies down colourful and cold.
the last turn of our heads
is lost in wet transparent transfers
as she slides down her staircase
with open arms to face us.
Her eyes only see refracted light,
a smile that holds only white
swirling behind angry teeth,
she doesn't know of what she speaks.
As she sweeps through the room
so cold, the birds drop from our branches,
demanding the band keeps playing
as she dances on the...

Proper poesy
Perhaps people prefer poetry
presented posthumously
personal preference precludes
perished popular pieces
profound pulp postulation
placates prime perception
propounded perfectly periodically.

Album's you must listen to before you die
I fall through, embossed by sleeves,
captured thoughts that never age,
these moments are mine to travel,
Suggestive on your zipper sticky fingers fish for babies,
billion dollar bites the bate,
nevermind the neon typeface.
Prism out my bright new colours, a place were I begin,
climb the causeway of the holy,
kiss the mouth of the crimson king.
Hindenburg is helpless smoke cigars inside the Graf,
muscle bound beside the rider,
burning hell from a gravestone blast.
London’s on the stage calling all guitars to...

You drive me insane
Every Friday night you're doing the same,
start a fight so you can leave again,
taxi into town a burned out clown,
tumble till the neon shuts you down.
A tripping puppet falling on your own
Waiting for a hand to take you home
Chorus
You drive me insane
Its easy
How you carry no shame
Its easy
That look in your eyes
Its easy
Still I'm by your side
Restless hands beat rhythms on my chair,
pretending to myself that you still care.
I can only walk the worn out floor,
a dog...
start a fight so you can leave again,
taxi into town a burned out clown,
tumble till the neon shuts you down.
A tripping puppet falling on your own
Waiting for a hand to take you home
Chorus
You drive me insane
Its easy
How you carry no shame
Its easy
That look in your eyes
Its easy
Still I'm by your side
Restless hands beat rhythms on my chair,
pretending to myself that you still care.
I can only walk the worn out floor,
a dog...

Rock Night
Got a Ticket in pocket, met friends on the way,
album under arm with a track to play.
Queued on the door but quickly inside,
the smell of stale halls where we feel alive.
Can’t move for kids 16 and above,
all feeling great and looking for love.
Been to the decks, my song will get played,
'Highway to Hell' and we’re on center stage.

Hit the floor as we move around

Addictive tendencies and the art of not avoiding dog piss
I.
He was too fucked up to be the Best man
and just to prove her right,
he was late as an usher.
His head digested council estate chloroform's
hands trapped in the till, credit cards turned over in court,
slept on a bar stool, everyone's fool.
He wore a banana yellow suit to the after church bit,
borrowed a tenner then split.
Bought us an 1980's Schwarts spice rack
kept in the cupboard, she told him it was tat.
In the 90's the monkey on his back
pointed out it was a fucking herb rack.

When the snow waits for you
It's different at night,
each front garden watches
as we walk,
their grotesque creations
peer through sunken stone sockets,
fake grins that taunt laughter until it sits
quiet under the crunch of our footprints.
Heavy arms in wet woolen coats
tire as we fire artillery
across cobbled streets
unable to sustain the excitement
of childlike exchanges
now aware of the slush
leaching into our trenches.
The street lights bath us
in orange moons,
flurries swirl
in a silent stinging swarm
before...
each front garden watches

Too many times
I think of what you didn't say
and how I couldn't make you stay
you closed the door on all our plans
and found yourself a stranger's hand
you’ve made that choice so many times
they act the part but forget their lines
another stage and another play
but the city light still fade away
now you’re on your own again
back out with your old school friends
The costume that you always wear
will hide the mask you'll never share
the makeup sees into your fears
and all the lines of fallen years
I guess you'll say that you...
and how I couldn't make you stay
you closed the door on all our plans
and found yourself a stranger's hand
you’ve made that choice so many times
they act the part but forget their lines
another stage and another play
but the city light still fade away
now you’re on your own again
back out with your old school friends
The costume that you always wear
will hide the mask you'll never share
the makeup sees into your fears
and all the lines of fallen years
I guess you'll say that you...

Crazy days and Hard rock nights
Well, I’ve made it through another crazy day
Where nothings been easy or gone my way
Been running up that hill nearly all my life
Now I’m gonna relax and rock away the night
I open the fridge and get an ice-cold beer
grab some food and get out of here.
It’s the end of the week and my mind has gone
gimmy sweet rock music till the healings done.
I going to a bar where I’ll meet my friends
that’s the place where the rat race ends.
Turn up the amps and get the lights down low
The band is ready for another show.
Crazy days...
Where nothings been easy or gone my way
Been running up that hill nearly all my life
Now I’m gonna relax and rock away the night

It’s the end of the week and my mind has gone

Pollution In the bar
I sit and pick the label from
a bottle of Newcastle brown,
I'm listening to the music,
and It feels like its slowing it down
Programmed spots do a lonely robot,
hell they can move yeah they shake what they got
they seize the moment to take their chance,
the floor is empty so they start to dance.
I make a move to get off my stool,
out in strobe light feeling kinda cool
I find my way, getting back to the bar
One more drink and I know I’ll go far
Come and have another drink with me
And take a little sip of my sweet JD ...

Go Harley
V1
Sunrise in front of him
another day’s ride begins
tank full of gasoline
Headfirst into the wind
Motorcycle maniac
and the madness that it brings
Chorus
A Devils disciple
Satan's Son
Wings of an Angel
From Hell he comes
A Pan head Harley
Full throttle on
you can feel the noise
of two and half tonnes
V2
He rides life into his soul
Listening to Rock and Roll
Black boots sat back to beg
chopper forks and deaths head
leaves behind a tire track
One of these days he...

None of your business
The toilets in A&E
have changed the lights to UV
stops me pushing pencils in my veins
and just retching bile
while trying not to kneel
at the pube ridden porcelain alter.
No one darns stockings any more
but I know why she did
when she smelled of strong tea
deafened by the TV nobody watched,
tracing the lines of her face
on see through toilet paper
that cut your arse like blunt razor blades.
Thoughts carved and counted
on cell block walls, iterations of
all the teeth bones blood and muscle ...
