Shame the Needle
Fritz was the man,
Who got things done.
Blond rebel bassman,
Always out for fun.
Sharper than a knife,
Shame the needle took his life.
Pammie was loyal,
To the poet's cause,
And helped him withdraw,
From all that applause.
Dancing with delight,
Shame the needle, took her life.
Paul was golden,
Winged all through.
And sung on silver,
Strings all true.
Holier than Christ,
Shame the needle took his life.

The story of my soul

The Story of my Soul
You are the power and the glory,
And the story of my soul.
In deep sorrow,
In deep despair,
Of the sorrow.

Real Life
Well, it's further down the road than you'll ever know.
And it's further up the hill than you would ever go.
It's closer to your face and it's deeper than your fate.
Real Life, it's on your tail,
Real Life, get ready to fail.
If they can find a way to get you,
I'm sure they'll make it quick.
If they can find a way to stop you,
I'm sure they'll make it stick.
It's nearer than your arse and it's bound to be a farce.
They're right on top of you but they won't let you through.
Signs of propaganda rule, and then they'll treat you like a fool.
Real Life, that's Real Life.

Reliving History
Nightmares, upstairs,
Memories, released.
As a child through the mirror you gazed,
Through the glass mystic scenes you amazed.
And your dreams wrapped you up like wool,
And now much later through your memories you spool.
Looking back to when you were at school,
And the faces of friends you trawl,
Reviving hopes both kind and cruel.
Reliving history,
The lies of history.

A Feast For You
Invite the gods to dwell inside your room,
Call out their names to make them feel at home.
Make up their pictures so you can see their eyes,
Hold up their statues so you can touch their sides.
Help me holies, don't you know I'm a feast for you?
A feast for you.

Death is a G Man
05:01
|

|
Ladies and gentlemen, sitting here,
Eating and drinking and warming a chair,
Feeling and thinking and drawing your breath,
Who’s sitting next to you? It may be Death.
As a high-stepping blondie with eyes of blue
In the subway, on beaches, Death looks at you;
And married or single or young or old,
You’ll become a sugar daddy and do as you’re told.
Death is a G-man. You may think yourself smart,
But he’ll send you to the hot-seat or plug you through the heart;
He may be a slow worker, but in the end
He’ll get you for the crime of being born, my friend.
[words from 'Blues for Hedli Anderson', by WH Auden]
