Doppelganger
All is in the neutral zone
for my doppelganger
who wakes in a city many miles from me
on same planet
but different time
living life to a different rhyme
do's things i would never dream of doing
or achieving
for my dreams are all pure on another time scale
and the giggling girls
wearing rayban sunglasses
are pretty and slim
from full life
within
adorned in flowered patterned summer dresses
their pearl white teeth
shining with happiness
and the day wanes
on the other side of this place called earth
for what it's worth...

Magdalen street dream
I dreamt last night
of Magdalen street
the building i entered
nicely decorated in red velvet wallpaper
no one inside
empty as a ghost ship
a carpeted passageway
with lots of doors
i entered one
and inside was a freshly laundered bed
with sheets thrown back
thru a netted veil in the wall
a beautiful girl
dressed in white nightdress
passed me
lay down on the bed
and writhed in ecstatic exstasy

log from bastard pirate ship
So speed on you bastard pirate ship
raise the standard liege flag
crash thru the waves
with ice on your rigging
and i will pray for you
and all your scurvy crew
many times over
with all the holy graces
for a thousand smiling faces
and the pope was not in
when i called at his flat,when back on dry land
so i left the silver crucifix
on his step
and watched a film with Johnny Depp
instead

Manchester sunline
Wizard spells and wind chimes
all drop into place
in Avrils back yard
and the manchester sun
is suddenly one
within the warm sparkle
of a sundial

Mothers little helper
Mothers little helper
was a little bitch
who grew to an adult hypocrite
everything she done was cool baby
bossy boot history
my mascara is the best
my nails are the finest
havent i grown in to a fine fine citizen
i truly love myself
everything i say is true
agree with me or i will scream and spit venom at you
i like the flattery
for i know i am truly beautiful
and if you say i am ugly i will sue you
listen serf we get on fine
after all my high heels are stamping all over you
your thoughts nd ways are irrelevant
i am bimbo...

Ireland 1965[My Irish Bretheren]
My Irish bretheren
were fat tub larded
sombrero priests
rattling with crucifixes and rattling junk
1965,i can remember
their pot bellied black cars
dawdling and chugging
thru country lanes
but it never rained holy water
