Envy of you

 Envy, Envy of you

I have walked through many forests

Could not see the wood for the trees

Been up to the highest mountains

Down to the bottom of the deepest seas

But there is one thing I know to be true

Oh, yes the Envy of you

No matter where I may be walking

No matter who it is I see

The egg shells that lie broken

Crumble under my bended knees

And I hear your voice has spoken

I see the make believe

Of a world sold like a token

To those who it would leave

The envy, the envy of you

I try

 I tried to meet you in the street

Oh I tried to beat it with my feet

I tried to stop but I repeat

Oh I tried, how I tried

I tried to love you in the chair

I tried to love and show I care

I tried to hug you like a bear

I tried, oh lord how I tried

I tried to sing a song so sweet

One where love was something to eat

And we had been so hungry

Until we did meet

Oh I tried, how I tried

And in the fall, in the grey air

That calls back hope and raises despair

I fall like snow and melt like sleet

That shawls on shoulders kindly greet

I tried, oh I tried

But all this disappears like summer

I saw the last butterfly today

It thought only of summer haze

And danced it's light flight on the days

As winter marches to the beat

Of the yearly drummer

Love got blown apart

In the Chimney sweep make up department

IF YOU ARE A FISH PUT ON YOUR SCALES,

AND IF  you're a hare well

Make a tail

And if you're a bear

Then come on and care

Because a love got blown apart

If you're a tv then don't tune out

If you're a radio then scream and shout

And if you're the sea then come follow me

Because this love got blown apart

Because love got blown apart

I don't know about your house

Perhaps it's got four walls

Perhaps your bedroom's warm and sweet

Perhaps your sunflowers grow tall

Perhaps the dogs at midnight

Don't howl at the drunken fools

But I know my seat is poor on feet

For its love got blown apart

Yes this love got blown apart

The gypsy and the sailor

They rowed their rocking boat

Out upon the ocean

But their ship it didn't float

The storm it blew in rages

Like a snarling lion torn

Out from between the pages

Of a book that was never born

And sailors wrack their sails

And monkeys stack the shot

And big brutes of men are nailers

Of the gold that's cold not hot

And treasure lies beneath the deck

But galley lugs are lorn

And all got sunk beneath the waves

Because the love was torn

Yes the love got blown apart boys

Their love got blown apart

The four winds crossed

And the ship got lost

When the love was blown apart

There is a woman around clock

 What is it I'm good for?

Is it ever enough?

With a bullet in my skull, full of your love

Shoot me down at midnight

Kill me just at lunch

Duel with me at dawn

Pushing the buttons of love

There can be no answer

None that I know from stuff

That floats around the dancer

In a raging storm of love

There's a woman around midnight

And one comes to me at dawn

There's a woman in the dying light

And a woman when you're born

There's a woman every hour

A woman round the clock

And they keep you in their power

Until their ship does dock

Second hand of woman

Third hand of man

Hours of the child

Who counts the summertime

Making all your plans

Day after day

Filling up your Gods

Moulding like your clay

Can you bring me to you?

What should I say?

I am dying in your love

Dying on your lawn today

Heman on Holiday

 Heman went on holiday

To the land of the dead

There he met skeletor

Who to Heman said

Oh Heman where's your musket

Where is Shera and snarf

And where are all your grateful disciples

To this Heman just laughed

I left them back in rainy England

They can dig their own graves

I'm done with saving the Universe this month

I'm a master and not a slave

I leave it to the skivvies

To do the work for me

They can rescue the scraggy navvies

They can bolster the refuggees

I'm on holiday in Lanzarote

And here I'm going to stay

Well Skeletor was so impressed

And deep down in his evilness

He conjured up a plan

To invade Castle Grey Skull

While the cat is away the mice may play

And this cat's had one hell of a day

He'll be dozing for some time 

In the sun

So Skeletor returned to England

And held his wife Shewar

For a victim

And told the world he was their master

and he held the master plan

Worlds apart

 They don't want to be

Part of the family

They wanted to be different

They wanted to be estranged

On the other side of the world

Bold in bold way

Brave in a brave

Carnival of the senses

Walking charade

Doctor of commerce

Sister of slade

Condominium for improvement

Out in the everglade

Dog without a bone

Arrow without a heart

Sharp things and all alone

In the frozen dark

Diamonds in the fire

Sending out their sparks

Rug lights on the wire

Hanging out worlds apart

Well we used to be a family

Around the inglenook hearth

We used to hold the everglade

But now we are apart

And dogs that howl in the moon fields

Foxes run, and fishes dart

Shoot me with your wild wind

Because we're worlds apart

I should be an astronaut

And walk upon the moon

Perhaps I'll meet a family there

One with a silver spoon

Perhaps all the money 

cannot buy back a broken heart

But it could buy me a ticket to fly

Because we're worlds apart

Queen

 She looked back on her life

The good and the dark

The memories of sorrow like

A twisted willow bark

She always counted her blessings and blew

A kiss to her nephews and those who she knew

And the speeding train kept coming

Through the tunnel took aim

It had her in its sights like a shooting flame

Speed up, steam train speed up through the dark

The tunnel is long, but on the other side is light

She didn't want to fall to pieces at the very end

All of these sweet meats had somehow taken her name

Mother of appeasement

Mother of the dark

Queen of all concealment

Cloak and dagger heart

Hope in desperation

Light of the nation

Remember us now

Before you depart

Great figures you did know

Now time has brought low

Seasons of the blessings

And choices cut like ribbons

At supermarket openings

And places of state

High churches at your gate

And turning around watching

The parade of colours march

All of these occasions held aloft

The nation's torch

Shine, shine a light down on Earth

Where has man gone wrong

Never worth the question

What good can we do now?

That is the abiding notion

Many rocks have fallen from the fascia's face

And a crumbling mantle piece

But a fierce fire in the grate

The Mansion still stands

All the enemies gather at the gate

But her energy lives on 

In the men and women of state
