Where Is Loveclough? Poem by Simon Stevens

Where Is Loveclough?



I’m moving out, I’m going,
I’m developing my career,
I’m facing down my fear;
I leaving Manchester and you
I’m leaving YOU behind.

Where am I going?

Doesn’t matta,
You have no way of knowin’;
It’s at the beginnin’ of the end
I’m abandonin’ the trend
I’m leaving YOU behind.

What am I doing?

Nowt to do with you;
I am takin’ over the world
Takin’ on anythin’ that’s hurled
I wanna make a go of IT
Don’t care if it works out...
I’m leaving YOU behind.

Where is Loveclough?

Bloody nowhere!
Inbetween a rock and a hole
Distinctly lacking its own soul;
Rolling hills and nature full in bloom,
Unfortunately a young man’s tomb
BUT I’m leaving YOU behind.
