Emergency Stop

The monotony this life A rail-road tunnel, concrete walls and fluorescent light If you aspire, manoeuvre through and find a seat by the window Emergency stop. The train conductor smiles And says “I’ll have your ticket please” “You’re just the same – pay your way like everybody else” Emergency stop. Looks like we’re in for the long haul now Pull… Read more →

Toothache

Biting shiny apple found myself incurring pain Have to find a dentist fast before I go insane You’ve got the dentist’s drill so fire away Just watch me hit the sky “You don’t need a local, be a man try not to cry” But you drilled too hard you bastard; en guardé, prepare to die Struggling violently the dentist attempts… Read more →

I remember clearly when I was a young lad Something led me to believe I was a bit different Kid walked up to me with a casual greeting Tripped up on my hair, recommended his barber They call me Mister Hairy Man It’s obvious why I can understand They call me Mister Hairy Man The walking carpet man They often… Read more →

My New Shoes

Autumn leaves will fall and drift away Leave behind their place of youth Lonely tree is left with bark of grey Hibernating life in truth We see this world through a mono-focal lens Locked in the same tired old routine Why not this time look through the arched window Maybe we’ll find my new shoes Autumn leaf is swept by… Read more →

Crystal

You’re like a flower that will not open its petals For fear your beauty will cause you to be picked What garden do you tend to? What type of flower grows in there? Fall away from me, you fall away from everyone Sandpaper tissues desensitise your nose Ever scent offends you, why don’t you breathe through your mouth? What rose… Read more →

The Halloween Crab

The Halloween crab emerges as it dawns a new day A day much the same as any other, still the same crusty exterior Maybe this would be the day to try remove the costume Expose the inside and hope that the sun is warm That silly old crab has broken his shell for you What should you do, no hospital… Read more →

Chocolate Bandaid

I am a part-time glassy at the hippie club Only work a couple of nights but it pays the bills Chocolate bandaid is covering my open sore It doesn’t pain me like it did when it was raw What can I say to make it easy to ignore Just can’t wait for the doctor to take it off I am… Read more →
