THE START OF THE NEW TIMES


Well it’s the start of the new times –

Not long now,

Before the end of the grimy grind;


No, not long at all,

Before I’m walking up the glittery hall,

Towards the illuminate door,

Which cases my glowing core,

Within its cracking wall;


Yes it’s the start of the new times –

Not long now at all,

Before the end of the grimy grind;

SLAM DUNKING


It’s going to be so much fun,

Triple jumping with the one;


Yeah, it’s going to be mind blowing,

When he throws me up,

And I succeed in slam-dunking,

The ball through the golden ring;

GLIDING LIFE


We’ll slide down a slide,

Rather then trudge up any stair -

Feel like air,

Rather then a slowly peeling pear;


Life will glide from there -

Be an easy flowing tide,

As we envelope each other with care;


No more masks to hide under,

No weighty tasks to partake;

We’ll soar on elation-tipped wings,

As we celebrate with cake, sparkles, and many other things.


I’m more then a little amazed,

With the bounding love you throw to me;

I’m more then a little dazed,

With the binding bond we share;


I know I’ll be absolutely blown away,

When you enfold me taking all cares away;

Yeah, I know I’ll be absolutely blown,

At the pure ecstasy,

That we’ll reach from that Historic moment in the life of we;


We’ll just slide down a slide,

Rather then trudge up any stair -

Feel like air,

Rather then a slowly peeling pear;


Life will glide from there -

Be an easy flowing tide,

As we envelope each other with care;


No more masks to hide under,

No weighty tasks to partake;

We’ll soar on elation-tipped wings,

As we celebrate with cake, sparkles, and many other things.

WALKING THE SCAFFOLDING


Look at me now,

I’m walking the scaffolding,

To see the blinking lights;

Yeah, I’m walking the scaffolding -

Beaming bright -

Being the return glint in the world of night.

THE SEASONS


Won’t it be wonderful?

Living in something true;

Won’t it be wonderful?

Living life with you,

As one two;


I can already see,

The seasons shining through,

As I sit on the carpeted pew.


Every winter fire,

We’ll be living the dream that will never expire;

Every summer’s day,

We’ll be breathing like the humid breeze in the cool shade;

Every autumn fall,

We’ll be bounding round crashing the raked balls;

And every spring,

We’ll be dancing as the hatched birds sing;


Yeah it’ll be wonderful,

Living in something true;

It’ll be wonderful,

Living life with you,

As one two;


I can’t wait to feel,

The seasons shining through,

As we sit on the carpeted pew.

CIRCLING SUN


When you’re gone,

You miss her you do,

So you rush back,

To be close to -

She’s the sun circling you.


And when she’s gone,

You fall into another hue,

And you can’t wait,

For her to come back through -

She’s the sun circling you.









As the sun shines a new day,

You drag yourself away,

To pack the black case;

As you step out the door,

The world strikes like a mace.


When you’re gone,

You miss her you do,

So you rush back,

To be close to -

She’s the sun circling you.


And when she’s gone,

You fall into another hue,

And you can’t wait,

For her to come back through -

She’s the sun circling you.


By the time it’s six,

You feel top heavy and sick,

Like a wad of solid brick,

Cold and stiff in a frozen mold -

But recoup within the skirts fold.


When you’re gone,

You miss her you do,

So you rush back,

To be close to -

She’s the sun circling you.


And when she’s gone,

You fall into another hue,

And you can’t wait,

For her to come back through -

She’s the sun circling you.

THE OTHERSIDE


On the other side,

He’s staring at the sky -

At the cookie crumble sunrise,

Waiting for the black smoke to rise;



Yeah he sits in underground mines,

Waiting achingly for the black smoke to rise,

Take the lead off his eyes,

So he can enchant the golden heart he hides.

YOUR HEROINE


You’ve been my hero,

Now I’ll be your heroine-

Spread my wings,

Add color and shine;


Bring to your world,

All that’s saccharine -

So you can be,

The great one your were born to be,

The full sun shinning.

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS


After all these years,

We’ll be able to forget,

Our troubled times;

Our troubled times;

Of being sunk in shady grime.


Yeah after all these years,

I shine, shine, shine,

Because of your heart’s chime -

So I’ll save you from your trouble,

As you sit in soured wine;


After all these years,

We’ll be able to forget,

Our troubled times;

Our troubled times;

Of being sunk in shady grime.






We’ll sail and sparkle,

Make the world seem farcical,

Give it a tickle with our joy -

Make those near,

Delighted as they hear;


After all these years,

We’ll be able to forget,

Our troubled times;

Our troubled times;

Of being sunk in shady grime.


And you can say,

“She’s all mine;”

I won’t mind,

Cause it’s true;

My all’s with you.


After all these years,

We’ll be able to forget,

Our troubled times;

Our troubled times;

Of being sunk in shady grime.

THE DEATH OF ME


With you,

I’d shrivel,

And turn into a dead tree;

Letting you in,

Is only the death of me.

A LITTLE TRUTH


A lot has changed since the first stirrings,

You are no longer silver sterling;

Lies you’ve only repeated again and again,

Putting hurt and maim in a golden frame;


I never asked for you to be adamant from intimacy -

A little truth and you would quite possibly have kept me tied on your shoelace string;


But lies, lies, lies is all you threw,

Guise, guise, guise – I just needed truth.


How can you expect me to want to still be with you?

When you only ever served feral seafood stew,

Making me die as the cut in my womb grew,

Staining my mind and body with a red stamp of rue;


Now you sicken me,

I only get unhealthy;

With you again I could never be,

I’m no longer lost and enfolded within naivety.
