Nobody notices nobody cares
Look at the state of the clothes that he wears
His only home is the bench in the park
His one friend the bottle comforts him in the dark
...
Our Christmas
Christmas came early for you and for me
Christmas with no gifts to open
...
Child one time, and time relates
This child witness love and hate
Innocence at once besieged
Violated evil released
...
Judgement Day
It was a cold and dark December night
I received a call, they said I might
...
Golden Years
What ever happened to the sixties child?
When days were warm and nights were wild
...
On the Threshold of a Dream
Once he was rejected so many years ago
Once he was tormented, how could she ever know?
...
Cry
A child alive in your womb today
A child from love, and wanted that way will be you
...
Depression is a parasite
Which eats away your consciousness
Your knowledge can be erudite
Yet the despair pit is bottomless
...
Angel Falls
You made your choice you deemed was right
Improve your life and ease your plight
...
Being Together Forever
..and since you went away
There’s an aching in my heart
...
There was a time….
There was a time when nothing rhymed
Unspoken words inside my mind
...
Fish and chips
Curry sauce
Five large tea cakes
Buttered of course
...
Poetry has to rhyme for me
Or else its Prose
And full of words
I can’t claim I’m a devotee
...
She was a coal miner’s daughter
She was a coal miner’s daughter
He was a police sergeant’s son
...
The Girl Who Dumped Me at School
So into my life walks this girl with no name
And changes my whole way of thinking today
...
This hangover has taken its prey
When I open my eyes to the day
There's a man playing drums in my brain
My breath's like a sewer pipe drain
...
Nobody's Friend
Nobody notices nobody cares
Look at the state of the clothes that he wears
His only home is the bench in the park
His one friend the bottle comforts him in the dark
The police show no interest as they move him along
Where in the past did your life turn so wrong?
Look at the state of the clothes that he wears
Nobody notices, nobody cares
Maybe sometimes, a change in fortune
Might bring him food and shelter in a hostelry room
But these days though welcome are all too rare
For most of the time there just is nobody there
A newspaper blanket on a pillow of stone
Is all that he ever has all that he owns
Ask yourself then just how it is
A man who is someone could be subject to this
Where he comes from nobody can tell
And where he goes to, well he just might a well
Be dead, for no-one would miss him at all
Now his life is fading, he tries to recall
His wife his friends his children
The family next door
All killed in an instance from a bomb in the war
And now his own life has come to an end
He'll die without memorial he's nobody's friend
