to be hurdled into oblivion can be hard on one
beauty and illusions to be misled by
many have the good sense not to be stoned by it
and the best advice i ever had was run boy run
the greatest friend i ever hurt wont take it from no one
la dee da dee die dee da dee die
part of me must be left behind, to crumble and fade with him
la dee da dee die dee da dee die
to be return back to yer routine can be humbling son
but also can it dilute ones wisdom?
when gazing into the moonless sky whos the subtle one
the bright stars or eternal blackness they’re scattered on
to be hurdled into oblivion can be hard on one
beauty and illusions to bo misled by
many have the good sense not to be stoned by it
and until you have the good sense son you run, you run!

crooked by the fire
a rising river takes her home
lighthearted goodbye to much of supper
floating down
beats me, the way back now, i guess were crawling out
summers got the floor dry and everythings alright
singin songs, a weddings on and we’ll play two for change
joinin in for a merrry dance - our blissful golden age!
back to the streets of a river town with pockets full of coin
wave goodbye to a lady love and stumble down the way
roaring round a river town
in summer, the night is warm
back to the house by the old tracks i wonder
who’ s around
crack about a hundred almonds back and a laugh or pass a tear
another round for all involved to help bring back the years
one man down and one one mum up we’re playing on the keys
goodbye yellow brick road ahh we’re a singing through the teeth
reach for another brown ale alas the fridge is lookin bare
so its up the stairs to pass out on the floor
crooked by the fire
a rising river takes her home
lighthearted goodbye to much of supper
floating down
our new friend from india said he figured it be risin’
so we built the fire high, thats me compromisin’!

The Old Mad Mime
What do you think of the old mad mime?
He’s got painted tears on his wrinkled white face.
How do you feel when he smiles so bright?
Do you gain insight to his maddening place?
I ask him “where do you sleep when the sun goes down?”
He replies with a chain of movements.
“What do you think in your mind?” I sound
And the mime begins a very long exhibition.
“Look at the clown!” a very young child cries.
Thats not a clown dear. That’s a mime!
People are always aloof from a distance.
His charm is lost on the birds and the wishless.
How can he speak from his mind through his fingers?
Brilliant is the maddening mime man, more or less.
Marching the streets of a broadway theatre.
Taking the heat from stage managers in the alley.
He’s in makeup at the bar down main street.
He’s in makeup anytime and plenty.
