Sgt Pepper

A lovely, warm soul..
Fondly remembered..
Sadly missed..

Masters Of War

Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin’
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it’s your little toy
You put a gun…[Read more]

Isolation

People say we got it made
Don’t they know we’re so afraid
Isolation

We’re afraid to be alone
Everybody got to have a home
Isolation

Just a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation

The world is just a little town
Everybody trying to put us down
Isolation

I don’t expect you
To understand
After you’ve…[Read more]

Dear God, Please Help Me

I am walking through Rome
With my heart on a string

Dear God, please help me

And I am so very tired
Of doing the right thing

Dear God, please help me

There are explosive kegs
Between my legs

Dear God
Please help me

Will you follow and know
Know me more than you do
Track me down
And try to win me?

Then he…[Read more]

Hold On My Heart

Hold on my heart
Just hold on to that feeling
We both know we’ve been here before
We both know what can happen
Hold on my heart
Cos I’m looking over your shoulder
Oh please don’t rush in this time
Don’t show her how you feel
Hold on my heart
Throw me a lifeline
I’ll keep a place for you
Somewhere deep inside
So hold on my hea…[Read more]

I Will See You In Far Off Places

Nobody knows what human life is
Why we come
Why we go
So why then do I know
I will see you
I will see you
In far off places?

The heart knows why I grieve
And yes one day I will close my eyes forever
But I will see you
I will see you
In far off places

It’s so easy for us to sit together
But it’s so hard…[Read more]

Many congratulations to France on bagging the Six Nations Championship!.. A fine team with a clinical attacking ethos.. well deserved!!

But essentially England and Ireland saved this tournament today… a massive match.. exciting, entertaining, passionate! A wounded English power roared against a dogged Irish persistence.. wonderful…[Read more]

The Fisherman

ALTHOUGH I can see him still.
The freckled man who goes
To a grey place on a hill
In grey Connemara clothes
At dawn to cast his flies,
It’s long since I began
To call up to the eyes
This wise and simple man.
All day I’d looked in the face
What I had hoped ‘twould be
To write for my own race
And the reality;
The living men that I…[Read more]

God

God is a concept
By which we measure
Our pain

I’ll say it again

God is a concept
By which we measure
Our pain

A poet writes always of his personal life; in his finest work out of it’s tragedy, whatever it be, remorse, lost love, or mere loneliness; he never speaks directly as to someone at the breakfast table, there is always a phantasmagoria. . . Even when the poet seems most himself, when he is Raleigh and gives potentates the lie, or Shelley “a nerve…[Read more]
