Lilac and Sweet Clover

Lilac and sweet clover
And damson red
Fireflies dancing
Way over your head

You can't catch the summer
And hold it to ransom
You can only run after it
As it dances away
In a cloud of
Lilac and sweet clover
And damson red
Fireflies dancing
Way over your head

And I think we were friends
If I recall those days
When the lights were dancing
Way over our heads
Tears teach us to be human
Laughter sweeter than wine
Years run like water
It's all just a matter of time

You can't catch the summer
And hold it to ransom
You can only run after it
As it dances away
In a cloud of
Lilac and sweet clover
And damson red
Fireflies dancing
Way over your head

Lilac and sweet clover
And damson red
Fireflies dancing
Way over your head

Last Chance Human



Starting a new set of songs/poems/words. Kicking off with Last Chance Human.

Last Chance Human

I've stood back
Didn't want to drown in your wake
Watched as your ships set sail
Counted in the flotsam and jetsam
On the return tide
When you won't listen any more
When the ego trip is all

Those bridges that you burnt
No lessons learnt
I've had it up to here
And there's something very clear
No matter how much you polish it
It's all still a crock of shit
So sick and tired of it

Well, here comes St Jude
Like the Ides of March
Here comes your future
A reflection of your past

Last chance human
Last chance human

I've stood back
Didn't want to drown in your wake
Watched as your ships set sail
Counted in the flotsam and jetsam
On the return tide
When a bullet is your reason
When war's the only season
When you won't listen any more
When the ego trip is all

Well, here comes St Jude
Like the Ides of March
Here comes your future
A reflection of your past

So very sick and tired of it
This is your last chance to be human
