Left Behind


Left Behind

Leave your bags and
Take what you’re wearing
Please stop crying
The noise in the sky is blaring
It’s intensifying

Leave your fears and
Take your pills
Hold your nerve
Conserve energy
We must leave

Alone, we are alone
Friends are absent
Shut away
And taken for granted
We must leave

Doodlebug emasculation
Altercation in the sky
Guessing the circulation
Never asking why
We must leave

Passing people
Looking at the ground
Misery surrounds
Throw a blanket over sound
We must leave

Debris and detritus
Absentee detainee
We must leave
Listen
We must leave

We have been left behind
We have been left behind
Take my hand
We have been left behind

That Violin

That Violin That violin’s been playing too long, That boring screechy mournful song, Those diamonds have lost their shine, You’ve lost yours and I’ve lost mine, That fire’s not quite burnt out, It’s all kept safely in your eyes. There’s sparkles all about That shimmer I despise Lies hidden and dies. That violin’s all drained of sound now, The player’s dead and in the ground now, No-one played at his wake, Reputation was at stake. That fire’s not quite burnt out, It’s all kept safely in those eyes, There’s money all about, That greed we all despise, Lies with him and dies. That violin lies unused on the corner of my street, Broken strings and broken heart misses every beat, That 50p I threw in his hat Every day and that was that. That fire’s not quite burnt out, It’s kept safely in those eyes, There’s regret all about, Feelings I despise, Remorse never dies.
