Life Is Alright (It's Just Humanity that's Fucked!)
The rain came & soaked the walk to work this
Morning as I toiled through the backstreets
Of kemptown desperate to stay as dry as possible
As I walked the narrow streets almost all the
Way down to the marina. I smoked a normal
One & finished it just as I turned the corner to
My store & today, just like so many before, passed
In a blink of an eye with nothing to moan about
& now I sit here sober,
Without almost anything to drag me down,
Knowing that for the first time in a long time
Life’s alright it’s just humanity that’s fucked!
Getting Away from Those Nightmares
There was a time in my life when
I’d go out, get outta my room
& end up outta mind not long after
As I’d always leave here stoned &
Just smoke & drink my way around
Until I got right, proper fucked up. I’d
Mess it up so good I wouldn’t even
Know where I was but it sure beat
My previous old crazy life when I’d
Go out high & soon get interstellar
Before running around north London
Waiting to start the wasted days
Of coming down & those were the
Nightmares I was always running
Away from…
Aches & Pains at 54
With the genius pianist tinkling away
The night has passed into a cool, subdued
Darkness as soon it will be time to shut this
Machine down & get back to resting my
Body up as my recent exertions still show
Signs of complications as my hip aches,
Now only occasionally, and my body in
General feels just a little bit older than before
But, hey, this life is still there for the taking &
I’m probably only feeling like this cos I’ve
Been busier than usual these last few
Months but hey 54 now so not much longer
To hang on before I potentially make my
Plan for escape come real & into a life where
A few aches & pains won’t ruin anymore days!
