Sgt Pepper

Never been the greatest fan of this guy, with the stupid hats etc…

But this, and this alone grants the man legendary status –
A truly beautiful, sad song.
A personal fave..

The Dance

Looking back
On the memory of
The dance we shared
Beneath the stars above
And for a moment
All the world was right
But how could I have known
That you’d ever…[Read more]

The Secret Marriage

No earthly church has ever blessed our union
No state has ever granted us permission
No family bond has ever made us two
No company has ever earned commission

No debt was paid no dowry to be gained
No treaty over border land or power
No semblance of the world outside remained
To stain the beauty of this nuptial hour

Another notorious Pepper karaoke fave here..

Islands In The Stream

An instant classic…

Viva La Vida

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead long live the king
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were…[Read more]

A Story Dwelling

There are may rooms in my Father’s house..
(John 14:2)

I have a vision of you in the Nineteen Sixties.
I can’t really see you beyond that.
Not for a while,
Not for the life of me.

I see Saint James’ in September
And the marrying of your love
Elizabeth

Masculine mystery

A Poet To His Beloved

I bring you with reverent hands
The books of my numberless dreams,
White woman that passion has worn
As the tide wears the dove-grey sands,
And with heart more old than the horn
That is brimmed from the pale fire of time:
White woman with numberless dreams,
I bring you my passionate rhyme.

William Butler Yeats

Why Should I Cry For You?

Under the dog star sail
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North
North west
The stones of Faroe

Under the Arctic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining

Would north be true?

All colours bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean’s bed
Drifting in empty seas
For all my…[Read more]

A Refusal To Mourn

Never until the mankind making
Bird beast and flower
Fathering and all humbling darkness
Tells with silence the last light breaking
And the still hour
Is come of the sea tumbling in harness

And I must enter again the round
Zion of the water bead
And the synagogue of the ear of corn
Shall I let pray the shadow of a sound
Or sow…[Read more]

This is one of the greatest songs ever written.. by, in my opinion, the greatest singer-songwriter that has ever lived.

The video clip that accompanies these truly extraordinary lyrics is not the official release – but a wonderfully crafted movie production designer’s fan film, featuring one Quentin Tarantino, and in my opinion much…[Read more]
