Poetry, stories and strange odds and ends from the desk of a writer
I live in an apartment on the 99th floor of my block And I sit at home looking out the window imagining the world has stopped Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up just like a Union Jack And says I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack...
Yeah All is quiet on New Year's Day A world in white gets underway I want to be with you Be with you, night and day Nothing changes on New Year's Day On New Year's Day,,,
Unos, dos, tres, catorce Turn it up loud, captain...
Lover, I'm off the streets Gonna go where the bright lights And the big city meet With a red guitar, on fire Desire...
I was lost till you were found But I never knew how far down I was falling Before I reached the bottom I was cold and you were fire And I never knew how the pyre could be burning On the edge of the ice field...
Enola Gay You should have stayed at home yesterday Ah-ha, words can't describe The feeling and the way you lied...
I see a red door And I want it painted black No colours anymore I want them to turn black...
Is it getting better? Or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you now? You got someone to blame...
From a battle I've come To a battle I ride Blazing up to the sky Chains of fate Hold a fiery stride I'll see you again when I die...
I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction 'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try I can't get no, I can't get no...
She's your adolescent dream School boy stuff A sticky, sweet romance And she makes you wanna scream Wishing you could get inside her pants...
Heartbeat Why do you miss when my baby kisses me Heartbeat Why does a love kiss stay in my memory Riddle dee pat And sing to me the story Reveal to me the story....
Somebody told her that there was a place like heaven Across the water on a 747 Yeah, we're living in In a modern world....
Dirty old river Must you keep rolling Flowing into the night? People so busy Make me feel dizzy Taxi light shines so bright...
We're scanning the scene in the city tonight We're looking for you to start up a fight There is an evil feeling in our brains But there's nothing new, you know it drives us insane...
It worries me this kind of thing How you hope to live alone And occupy your waking hours We're taking sides again...
Let me out come and get me out 'cause i've been stuck in for too long Let me out come get me out baby maybe be where i belong The time is right for stepping out in the light My cup is full and i'll be pulling the wool tonight...
I'm not content to be with you in the day time Girl, I want to be with you all of the time The only time I feel alright is by your side Girl, I want to be with you all of the time All day and all of the night All day and all of the night All day and all of the night...
Lost in the darkness I fade from the light Faith of my father, my brother, my Maker and Saviour Help me make it through the night Blood on my conscious And murder in mind Out of the gloom I rise up from my tomb into impending doom Now my body is my shrine...
Thank you for the music RIP Jim Steinman
Look up here, I'm in heaven I've got scars that can't be seen I've got drama, can't be stolen Everybody knows me now...
