Hearts And Bones

One and one-half wandering Jews
Free to wander wherever they choose
Are travelling together in the Sangre de Cristo
The Blood of Christ Mountains of New Mexico
On the last leg of a journey they started a long time ago
The arc of a love affair
Rainbows in the high desert air
Mountain passes slipping into stones
Hearts and…[Read more]

Minds Locked Shut

It happened on a Sunday afternoon
On a lovely bright crisp winters afternoon
On a perfect day for walking

There were gunshots, stones and bullets
On a lovely bright crisp winters afternoon
There was chaos, panic and death
Disbelief upon the faces
Fear and bewilderment
The seconds seemed so long

They’re firing bullets at…[Read more]

Within You Without You

We were talking
About the space between us all
And the people
Who hide themselves behind a wall
Of illusion
Never glimpse the truth
Then it’s far too late
When they pass away

We were talking
About the love we all could share
When we find it
To try our best to hold it there
With our love
With our love
We could save the…[Read more]

American Tune

Many’s the time I’ve been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes and I’ve often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
Oh but I’m alright
I’m alright
I’m just weary to my bones
Still you don’t expect to be bright and bon vivant
So far away from home
So far away from home

I don’t know a soul who’s not been battered
I don’t have a…[Read more]

Saints And Sinners

Well anyone can lose it all
Well anyone can lose it all
When you don’t heed your warning’s call
Well anyone can lose it all

Well anyone can make a mess
Yeah anyone can make a mess
Just take so much and make it less
Well anyone can make a mess

When you got time and streets making saints and sinners
Well ink on sheets making…[Read more]

Joanni

All the banners stop waving
And the flags stop flying
And the silence comes over
Thousands of soldiers
Thousands of soldiers

Who is that girl?
Do I know Her face?
Who is that girl?

Joanni Joanni wears a Golden Cross
And She looks so beautiful in Her armour
Joanni Joanni blows a kiss to God
And She never wears a ring on Her finger

All…[Read more]

Dead Man Walkin’

There’s a pale horse comin’
And I’m gonna ride it
I’ll rise in the morning
My fate decided
I’m a dead man walkin’
I’m a dead man walkin’

In the St. James Parish
I was born and Christened
Now I’ve got my story
Mister ain’t no need for you to listen
It’s just a dead man talkin’

Once I had a job I had a girl
But between our…[Read more]

Yet another hymn to “chat”…

World In My Eyes

Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
And you won’t have to move
You just sit still

Now let your mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let me show you the world in my eyes

I’ll take you to the highest mountain
To the depths of the deepest sea
And we won’t need a…[Read more]

O Holy night, The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh hear the angel voices!
Oh night divine, oh night when…[Read more]

Fairytale Of New York

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me
“Won’t see another one..”
And then he sang a song
“The Rare Old Mountain Dew”
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I’ve got a feeling
This year’s for me and you
So Happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see…[Read more]

Mothers Of The Disappeared

Midnight our sons and daughters
Cut down and taken from us
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat
In the wind we hear their laughter
In the rain we see their tears
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat

Night hangs like a prisoner
Stretched over black and blue
Hear their heartbeats
We hear their…[Read more]

My apologies Kateee.. Belated Birthday Greetings girl :oops: ….

A Sort Of Homecoming

And you know it’s time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
To a light that’s in the distance

And you hunger for the time
Time to heal
Desire time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape

Oh
Oh
Oh
On borderland we run
I’ll be there
I’ll be there
Tonight
A high-road
A…[Read more]

The Frog Prince

An old fairytale told me
The simple heart will be prized again
A toad will be our king
And ugly ogres are heroes
Then you’ll shake
Your fist at the sky
“Oh why did I rely
On fashions and small fry?”
All promises broken
Feed your people or lose your throne
And forfeit your whole kingdom
I’d sooner lose it than still live in it…[Read more]

Bad Skin Day

When I wake in the morning
Of a bad skin day
And I can’t face my lover
On a bad skin day
Am I this alone?
Volcano has erupted
And the ash sails down
And I’m a poor soul of Pompeii
Oh Christ I’m such a drama queen
On a bad skin day

And you’re far from me
You’re all far from me
Right where I want you to be
Far from me

I…[Read more]

Rocky Took A Lover

He said
“I wanna shine in the eye of Orion
But I drove my soul through the Black Hole!”

She said
“That’s a wonderful way to wake me
But you weren’t so nice last night
You’re such an as.shole when you’re drunk”

He said
“At least I’m OK in the mornings”

He said
“The three wise men came a long way
Following that pin…[Read more]

A Very Happy Birthday to you Poet my friend :)

JESUS OF SUBURBIA /
City Of The Damned / I Don’t Care /
Dearly Beloved / Tales Of Another Broken Home

I’m the son of rage and love
The Jesus of Suburbia
The bible of none of the above
On a steady diet of
Soda pop and Ritalin
No one ever died for my
Sins in hell
As far as I can tell
At least the ones I got away with
And there’s nothing wrong…[Read more]

Well.. I’ve been told many times that my rather obscure title has something to do with some form of group or something? :roll: Consisting of four fellows from the Merseyside region of England?
Can’t for the life of me think how or why? :-s

Anyroad, I’m not buying it!

I’m a mere Regimental Condiment and that’s the end of it!!

(Ask my Poshy…[Read more]

Land Of Confusion

I must’ve dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They’re moving into the street

Now did you read the news today
They say the danger’s gone away
But I can see the fire’s still alight
They’re burning into the night

There’s too many men
Too many people
Making too many…[Read more]
