I’M NOT PLAYING TODAY
I’m not playing today
Not that I can be bothered anyway
I’m the one forgotten
And it tastes like rotten apples
Smells like rotten eggs
I’m not playing today
My strings are rusty anyway
I’m the diminished seventh
Waiting for the eleventh minute
Of the eleventh hour
My existence is uncertain
My rhythm is unsure
My love in life’s becoming more obscure
I’m not playing today
I’m done with shouting anyway
When no one is listening
And it tastes like rotten lettuce
With a slap in the face
My existence is uncertain
My rhythm is unsure
My love in life’s becoming more obscure
I’m not playing today
I’m not playing today
The rules are broken anyway
I’m not playing today

Immune

IMMUNE
Light the world with consumerism kings
Shining from your view screen
Fill your life with cheap, trend expiring things
Use them once
Replace them
Before the trees have gone
What can we do?
What do you say?
Chorus:
I don’t need anything
I want it
Can’t be sold anything
Believe it
I don’t crave anything
I call the tune
You can’t get to me
I am immune
Keep your distance
Contagion on the breeze penetrating sunscreens
Experience the chill
The feeling of unease
When some have double standards
All our trust has gone
What can we do?
What do you say?
Repeat Chorus
This is now the world we are living in
Less a fact or fiction?
Some are blind yet still drive 500 miles
When most of us are locked in
What agenda looms
What can we do?
What do you say?
Don’t care anymore
Just live for the day
Repeat Chorus

1980s LOVE SONG
Here I am putting pen to a page
‘cause I’m missing you so badly
The words that I write are much harder to say
Now I know that you don’t care for me that way
Black Ink dries so much faster than eyes
When your passion can’t be given
You filled up my world
But the air’s leaking through
The hole that’s unrequited love for you
If you don’t reply to me
I’ll always be wondering what you do
If we can’t be in love then in my song
I’ll always send my love to you
This is a love song for you
This is a Love song
This is a love song for you
Now it’s getting late and I’m signing off
As I walk away so sadly
I’ve reached out to you
But a fresh day is dawning
A stronger life more positive and new.
If you don’t reply to me
I’ll always be wondering what you do
If we can’t be in love then in my song
I’ll always send my love to you
If you don’t reply to me
I’ll always be wondering what you do
If we can’t be in love then in my song
I’ll always send my love to you

Holding You Again

HOLDING YOU AGAIN
Worlds that fall apart
Come together when new fires start
You had been so good for me
That I was taken by love
But when things go wrong
You feel that special warmth inside has gone
Photographs that I once took
Will come to life
It’s possible
When in my mind …
I’m back, holding you again
It feels so good
How can I complain
I’m back, holding you again
And I can’t forget the burning of the deepest flame
Teardrops disappear
Crying in the rain so no one hears
Glazed the sight of midnight bars
Where I’ll go searching for love
And when she adores the way I touch her
All my life restores
Anonymous within the dark
So dance the hours
It’s physical, but in my mind
I’m back, holding you again
It feels so good
How can I complain
I’m back, holding you again
And I can’t forget the burning of the deepest flame
I try to reconstruct the scene
Pacing out the steps on solid ground
All is but a jaded dream
Which aims to seek a love that can’t be found.
I’m back, holding you again

INSURANCE
I bought insurance
Insurance for what?
I purchased insurance
And it cost such a lot
But I’ve got you and you’ve got me
What a wonderful world it would be
Without fear of something going wrong
Unexpected storm damage
A hole in my roof
By rain driven hurricanes
Demanding the proof
Claimed there was no storm that day
So point blank refused to pay
Disbelief that something went wrong
I learned politeness
I’ve learned to say please
And thank you for listening
But it’s not such a breeze
For I get mad and lose my cool
When I have to deal with fools
And the fear of something going wrong
Opera singers,
Men in hats,
‘He men’ selling loads of ‘TAT’
For the fear of something going wrong

I DON’T WRITE LOVE SONGS ANYMORE
You may have heard me singing love songs
Most I never thought were good
Many built around the same old words
And dreary tunes
I always wanted something different
With lyrics never sung before
But it seemed that every verse
Had been accounted for, So I
Scribe for the common good
Still so misunderstood
Treading water miles off shore
I don’t write love songs
Stare past your photograph
The one that made me laugh
Now I have closed that door
I don’t write love songs anymore
You may have heard me singing blues songs
But I never felt the pain
Many built around a woman
Who had caused the rain
I always wanted something different
Fresh and unpredictable
But generic repetition
Made me cynical
Scribe for the common good
Still so misunderstood
Treading water miles off shore
I don’t write love songs
Stare past your photograph
The one that made me laugh
Now I have closed that door
I don’t write love songs anymore
I couldn’t manage jazz
Too many notes whereas
A simple pop song only had four chords
A sucker for a tune
When you walked in the room
I only wanted to sing, But I scribe for the common good etc.

Vaccine

VACCINE
Stick me in your arm
Sniff me up your nose
Anywhere you like
That’s how the porridge flows
A biological preparation
To aid immunisation
Disinfect your bloodstream
With Hydroxychloroquine
I’m your vaccine
Not a smokescreen
I cure everything
I’m electric gasoline
Just a little prick
An identity card
Big brother’s watching
Creeping up in your back yard
An antigen in manufacture
Within cells of foreign nature
Y shaped proteins in your bloodstream
For my scheme
My whipping cream
I’m your vaccine
Not a smokescreen
I cure everything
I’m electric gasoline

MASK
How can you sing when you’re wearing a mask
How can you fly without wings
There’s a new sense of normal
So I have to ask you these things
How can you live without going to work
Without doing the things that you love
As if toxic, not viable
Can’t be touched without wearing a glove
Some will deny
Some will walk by
An attack on their rights
But who knows of something that bites
Through a mask
How can you love when you sit home alone
Protecting the others elsewhere
Think you’re going crazy
Just desperate for someone who cares
How can so many, discarded, forgotten
Not be granted their value or worth
Those who give joy
And a backdrop to life on this earth
Some will deny
Some will walk by
An attack on their rights
But who knows of something that bites
Through a mask

ISOLATION
Can’t go out
Staying in is an impossible task
Can’t sleep
Can’t breathe though non removable masks
Spitfire
Lining up the sights for attack
Airborne
Hovering above
Cardiac
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Stupidity, selfishness
Defiance and greed
On patrol, washing hands
No one feeds
Isolation
Isolation
Media
Programming your every thought
Down a drain
Business and economy lost
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation

MAGIC BUS OF LIFE
If you want to hang around
Listening to the talk
That’s up to you
If you want to play all day
Never find your way
That’s up to you
Such a big world out there for to find
You have to move or you’ll get left behind
Jump aboard the magic bus of life
You are welcome !
If you crave to overhear
Damming hate and lies
That’s up to you
Great minds talk about ideas
If gossip is your prize
That’s up to you
The science and the past, some will deny
Short sighted, stupid, can be rectified
Jump aboard the magic bus of life
You are welcome !
If you desire to isolate
Turn into a recluse
That’s up to you
Be your life forever dry
Never taste the juice
That’s up to you
So step outside, breathe the air
The cosmic wind blows wildly in your hair
Jump aboard the magic bus of life
You are welcome !
