I sometimes wish, I didn’t know a thing,
For when I sit in this unknowingness;
It’s an oasis of peace
...
The day that I met nothing
Is a day straight out of time
For each mind was kindly thinking
The other writes sublime
...
Going hunting for some poets
The ones with bite and teeth
And when I find their tracks
I’ll rest a while beneath
...
Pavements lamposts tarmac cars
Litter with words graffiti scars
Letterbox signs parking meter
Traffic warden wages eater
...
Double murderers,
every crime imaginable
men eaten with remorse
prisoners of their own misdeeds
...
Today I was found by a book
Waiting patiently on a shelf
Amongst the bric-a-brac
Next to a Beatles books of songs
...
Hey Joe we’re going to the magic theatre
You comin?
’What’s the magic theatre (laughter)
...
If your tears should fall before the spring
My heart will catch them whilst I sing
And if your love should falter in the cold
I will warm you till the days grow old.
...
Father forgive them for they know not what they do.
(Christ)
The man who sees himself in all creatures
...
Even birds fell silent
As soldiers’ coffins passed bye
The young and the old wiped a tear from their eye
Soldiers returning from a world they would save
...
