Here comes the Gazprom man

 Gazprom

He was an employee from Gazprom

Arnold Tarkovskj was his name

He held on tight to his dream of flight

But always was swimming up stream


He travelled day and night down the gas line

All the way from Moscow to Kazakhstan

Then he went west into Europe

Ah here comes the the Gazprom man


Come to deliver their Gas to us they say

But surely we have no way of knowing

Their plan

Increase the price it or decrease the flow

Only the GazProm man can really know



Love on the rocks

 I love you, love, love you

Bishop's rock

And way below the ocean where the fishes swamp and swan about

Oh shoe, shoe, shout

Kelis, Kent, and Cunt

No

Clam juice

Prunes and perfect pout 

The trout, true, true

Barney Mc Grew and What a shrew

Shew away the lout

What a louse

Losing his way in the pestilent field of pesticides

And pests

Cross pollinate vests of 

Stripy bees

Borrowing keys to Maiden's houses

And Yet

Yet

I see the swallows wind and wander

Like forgotten star sin wonder

Of such trite bellowed up

Platitudes of Science

That mean nothing to me


I am holding on too tight

She said it

I know

it



Seriously grave matter

 They nearly put me in my grave

I was an archaeologist working in Italy

On an ancient burial ground

The sky turned black

And I was on my back

Just another piece of lost and found


Searching for a body

Anybody down there

Shake my hand

The weather's grand

Living without a care


Dying to get out tonight

You can't go out when you're dead

Looking for some kind of light

Trying to straighten out my head



I feel a poem coming on

 The wind was blowing strong

The cards were on the table

She had a face so long

I thought a horse was in the stable


But then her voice spoke

And it bolted out the door

And I don't want to hear

Her ringing words no more


Oh I feel a poem coming on 

Don't you listen to the slap

The steer pikes are following

Their wraps

The blood that I have given though never was it given

Oh I feel a poem coming on


I'm gonna take my axe 

And cut down the stiles

It is an unfortunate

Tax but it has been gone for a while

And though the people flax

And though the keys



Invention

 A mobile phone piano


pedal operation mobile phone app

Invention 1

 A packaging material made out of potatoes instead of plastic

Way up on the wall

 Way up on the wall

Way up on the wall

I see you hanging there

God, God of all


Way up on the wall

Way up on the wall

I see the devil fighting

With St George or Paul

way up on the wall


Somewhere over there

Somewhere over there

Away from fear

But you bring it near

It is too close to call


He died for our sins

He died for our sins

But sins or not

It's getting hot

Underneath the skin


Way up on the wall

Way up on the wall

The stations of

The holy cross

Walking past the holy

Ghost

Way up on the Wall


And in the midst of life

We are sometimes lost

Sometimes found

Like a pound on the ground

But we can't count the cost

Way up on the wall


I'm waiting for the fall

Always waiting for the fall

When the curtain comes down

The king loses his crown

Way up on the wall


Way up on the wall

In the Church of 

Peter and Paul

Hanging there like a pear

Waiting for the apple to fall
