Futures

Halloween, Bonfire Night, Christmas, New Year's Eve all went unmarked
Come the Spring, I peered in at all our hopes and dreams all safely parked
When it's time to lift the barriers, pay our dues and set our futures free
I hope that there's still time for you and me.....
I had a 2020 vision, didn't care that much for what I saw
We gathered hope around us, put our dreams into a box and shut the door
We put all of our futures in the past and hoped that they weren't lost for good
We clung on to our hopes although
Sometimes we wondered we if we should
Sometimes we wondered we if we should

Tall Dark Stranger
01:34

I've been waiting for the needle
So I can go up town
Spend some time with real people
If my friends are still around
But I'm not old, I'm not in mortal danger
I'll have to get my fix from the talk, dark stranger
These four walls no longer hold me
I'm living like an owl
Don't care what the TV told me
I'm going on the prowl
Swoop down the alley
Avoid the lockdown Ranger
Gonna get my fix from the talk, dark stranger.

Someone Else's Fireworks
02:52

I'm getting very tired of watching someone else's fireworks
Hearing careless laughter drifing over the fence
Sounds like someone's having fun
Meanwhile we're having none
And lockdown here is getting really intense
I've been hearing your bangers since the middle of September
It's really no joke hearing folk who have money to burn
If I catch you I will shove your squib
Somewhere you'll have to eat with a bib
I'll confiscate your crackers and kick you in the knackers,
Give you something to remember.....

He was cold and he was hungry, he was empty deep inside
When Stinky Steve left on his lonely, non-essential ride
He was looking for a memory of a time that had long passed
His strength was draining daily and his mind would never last
So he prayed to God that he would find it fast..

When The Truth Hits Home
03:58
|
|||
|
They've delivered on their promises, now comes the big surprise
When all you had has disppaeared before your very eyes
And you've broadened your horizons but they've taken all your rights to roam
And you've got nowhere to hide from the hurting when the truth hits home
You're too busy waving flags in your own face so that you can't see
That the people that you voted for don't care about you and me
Now we're on a ship of fools and drifting helpless and alone
Will you still be there when the truth hits home ?

" London is a big geography in terms of cycling "
And riding on my bike is something that I like to do
I'll pedal for a bit, then go peddle some more shit
About all the things I'm really not intending to do
I'll pissout some more contracts to my pals who've nothing tangible to sell us
(I'm generous with other people's money, I buy all my friends)
Be honest, you'd all do the same if in my shoes, and you're just jealous.
I'll ride my bike into the sunset when it's time for me to make amends.
Cos " London is a big geography in terms of cycling "
And there's a pillock on my pillion saying " Kindly call me Grant today "
Sometimes I think of Priti as I cycle through the City,
and all the bloody funny things she says
U-turns...
are my favourite manoeuvre
Red lines....
mean nothing to me
Speed up ...
and glide over the details....
Skid marks ain't a problem when someone does the laundry for me !
" London is a big geography in terms of cycling "
And you're saddled with me for as long as I can stick around
I'm slick as an eel, and I love to feel the wind in my hair
And if I'm looking unkempt it reflects my contempt for all of you down there

He used to wear loon pants and make music in the 70s as a member of best-forgotten bands like Tudor Legges and Runcible Spoon, and even ( reluctantly) solo. After a long and merciful silence lasting several decades, this could well be his debut, comeback AND farewell album !
