I wait for a date
with death
When I take
my last breath
And then end
the torment of life
“I wonder…
If I’ll ever show her this…”
I await your
presence dear
much as I do
my every breath
And though my
wait is long is long
I by far prefer
it to death itself.
You have been
the one who
was there, when
needed.
Yet knowing
there is another,
for you; I now
wait content
to know when
needed, you’ll
be there…
“Urban Hippy,” or ~
(The shadow of four bars)
I’m an urban hippy
Stuck inside four walls
And…
The shadow of four bars
fills the far walls, as the sun falls;
And I’m sure I know each brick
of my little twelve by eight.
And I’m an urban hippy
Stuck inside four walls;
which hold me, and oppress me,
Eat me and depress me.
Yet my crime, to do time
Was selling the green.
And eighteen months
seems awfully mean!
I’m just an urban hippy
Stuck inside four walls.
Yet, as I’ve been told
You can’t always get
what you ask for…
On that I’m sold.
‘Coz I’m an urban hippy
stuck inside four walls.
Wishing, just wishing
I was out and about.
Ha! Fields of green and skies of blue:
I wonder do they mean the same to you?
‘Coz I’m an urban hippy
stuck inside four walls.
And I’m sitting on my bunk,
And I wish I were drunk,
as I stare at four walls
and a po –
‘Coz I’m an urban hippy
stuck inside four walls.
And I want a blue sky
and fields of green.
‘Coz I’m an urban hippy
stuck inside four walls.
But instead, I am here…
and I don’t have a beer –
and staring at me…
is four walls and a po.
‘Coz I’m an urban hippy
stuck inside four walls.
And oh, how I wish this life of mine
were out on video;
for then, I could press ‘fast forward’
eighteen moon (or so)
To next June… and an open gate
where I know…
my friends will wait.
‘Coz I’m an urban hippy
stuck inside four walls.
And instead though –
I just sit and stare,
at four walls and a po –
and… I picture the green and the blue.
‘Coz I’m an urban hippy
stuck inside four walls.
And as the shadow of four bars
fills the far walls… the sun falls,
and the walls come crashing in;
as I hear those keys in the lock…
And my heart my feeling,
my soul is on fire…
‘Coz I’m an urban hippy
stuck inside four walls:
and it’s all been a horrible shock.
‘Coz I am an urban hippy
Stuck inside four walls
Which hold me and oppress me
Eat me and depress me.
Eat me and depress me…
‘Coz I’m stuck inside four walls.
Stuck with the memories
Which continue to flow…
And just, stop… Pause… Rewind;
To a different place, a different time.
When in fields of green
‘neath skies of blue
We walked hand in hand…
Just, me and you.
And now I recall it all
The good and the bad;
And what makes me sad…
Is I don’t have…
fields of green and skies of blue.
‘Coz I am an urban hippy
Stuck inside four walls
So Stop… Pause… and Rewind;
To a different place, and
a different time:
A better place, a better rhyme.
‘Coz I’m an urban hippy
stuck inside four walls.
And I’m thinking of you… Fields of green ‘an skies of blue…
Ah, just picture the scene!
Can you?
Yet… instead I am here…
I’ve just got four walls,
and staring at me…
is those walls and a po.
… and I’m an urban hippy
and I wish this were just a video.
An I wanna know, just gotta know
Why is it that the memories that last, are the ones from the past?
While I’m wishing,
As you might,
For something, other than I’ve got.
And I’m just an urban hippy,
Stuck, inside four walls.

The Smokers Song
I’m forever spittin spew-tum,
I’m forever spittin spew-tum,
I’m forever spittin spew-tum…
I’m always swallowin… sal-iva,
always, swallowin… sal-iva…
And I’m forever… spittin spew-tum,
forever spittin spew-tum,
I’m forever spittin spew-tum…
It lands on the ground
with a resounding thud,
‘coz now, I’m spitting… blood.
And I’m… forever spittin spew-tum,
I’m forever spittin spew-tum,
I’m forever spittin spew-tum…

[Sung to the tune of-
I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles.]
suicide Road
Don't call me 'coz I'm not at home
left my message on the answer phone,
the blues came round to call on me
and they said they knew how to set me free.
Showed me a needle and put it in my hand
and said it would take me to a better land.
Said it would take all my troubles away,
and I'll never have to see another bad day.
No more worryin and no more cryin
No more stealin and no more lyin
No more waiting to catch the last bus,
No more hassles, no more fuss.
My eyes are open, but I still can't see
the deadly poison been given to me.
Lord, Please take my mind from this overload
And make sure I never walk down Suicide Road!
