Almost Like Love
To eat the crust on pizza
Been taken out by her daughter
Because she thought she ought'a
The kids are eating snickers
Because they're so delicious
Then there's sticky fingers
And mother loses her knickers
bank holiday comes six times a year
times of enjoyment
to which everyone cheers
bank holiday comes a six pack of beer
than it's back to work A.G.A.I.N
Bar-b-que is cooking
Sausages and chicken
The patio is buzzing
The neighbours they are looking
John is down the fun pub
Drinking lots of lager
Girls and
High Wire - The Aerialist
As far as I can tell -
Up on the wire, I like to climb and play with the sky;
the people far below,
the air is clear, and I can perceive the whole world is smiling.
Life is sublime, when you dare to go up in the air and leave the earth up(?)
behind you,
As I step and dip and leap into the space beyond, up high
just for a moment,
alive, and so afraid but alive, as I push against the sky
and my heart has broken(?) free.
Fear turns to joy, when you can race the edge of the sky
Life's intense and strong
It's not too long, before you will run beyond your horizons.
Up on the wire, the line is thin and you must go
and (surf?) against the sky so precisely.
But life is to go on as far as you can see
up high, just for this moment
Alive, yet so afraid, but alive.
And the wires disappear, and you've finally broken free.
