Everyone is welcome
I can’t sleep tonight
Troubled head
Troubled mind
Troubled soul
I wish that I could be cleansed
Be better
Sometimes just to drop of the side of the planet
I find myself asking always, why?
Why is the question that questions a question
And frankly, I don’t know anymore
What to do
What would be better?
If I could just disappear

Sweet sixteen in sunny Southend
Having fun with all my friends
I see a girl so cute to me
I wonder if we could talk, maybe
I suck up the courage we start to chat
She has lovely curls, her hair tied back
That golden hair so firey red
I’m so mixed up within my head
Do you want to go out on a date?
I asked to her, but I had to wait
She had to go, to leave me there
I felt rejected, I could only stare
I walk back home, 10 miles in the cold
Seemed to take hours, the cold taking hold
I checked my Nokia every five minutes
Stressing myself out, feeling so sick
Would she call would she text?
If she did what would we do next?
I got ready for bed, getting fed up
She never called, I had had enough
I layed down sighing to myself
Would I always be single? On the shelf?
I cried to myself, feeling so depressed
Eventually falling asleep, finally getting rest
Dreaming of her, wishing to be close
In her arms, wishing to never be let go
Woken up, in the middle of the night
Telephone ringing, gave me a fright
Can’t even see, where did my glasses go?
I try to make it out, such a fuzzy glow
My god it’s her, she finally text
I find my glasses under the bed
What do I write? How do I start?
Could this be a beautiful depart?

What do you think? Want more? Let me know your thoughts…
I’m at work and the telephone starts to ring. Number withheld so I answer the thing.
Hello how may I help, I said. A brief pause then the insult he said.
I didn’t hear well so I ask him to repeat. The insult again, my heart increases it’s beat.
I think how should I respond to this little boy. What’s your game you little runt, this is your joy?
The little idiot has wound me up. Goodbye little boy, I hang up!

Wake up in the morning,
Morning coffee for me.
Me needs me coffee to wake up.
Up for the day.
Day is gonna be hard.
Hard to get ready.
Ready to go?
Go? Pff no, me needs another coffee!

Sex, oh it’s great
New person, mmm, wait
Awkward the first time
Remember her
How’d she kiss, burgggh
Like a fish, was her
Goodbye, next for me
She was taller than a tree
Do something don’t just lay there
Your creeping me out with your stare
I do all the work, stay on your back
More action from a bloody sack
Tried once with an old friend
Interesting the moment spent
Emotions empty never that great
Never again for goodness sakes

I want you
Can’t stop thinking
About you
One kiss
One touch
Sad thing
It’ll never be
Enough

Do you ever remember single life?
I remembered thinking of my strife
I always thought I’d never find her
I’d want so hard and all girls scarpered
I was so lonely, so down
I was not fun to be around
I was pathetic, desperate, all the above
I was ready to do anything for love
I tried so hard, it never worked
I depressed myself, went a little berserk
I tried everything, meeting different girls
The only thing was it seemed a different world
Sometimes we can meet one and she is the one
Sometimes we meet a 100 and have lots of fun
You must never quit, wallow in pity
I’ve been there, I felt real shitty
Life goes on and surprisingly enough
When you don’t expect it along comes love.

Never good enough
Everyone screams
You’d think it was
A murder scene
No one listens
As hearts break
Realising all
Was a mistake
Told to go
Get your stuff
Get the fuck out
Had enough
Think about it
Before you leave
Upsidedown
Life upheaved
What do you want?
Do you even know?
Will you stay?
Will you go?
What’s a relationship? well I’m gonna be blunt
Can you be with someone, succeed the hunt?
Do you know someone before going out?
Their favorite things to go about?
Ok, fast forward skip all of that
Let’s get to the good stuff, the blunt facts
You finally do the business his place or hers
What happens next? What is going to occur?
Was it rubbish, no joy there?
Did they smell bad? Not going there!
Was you so clingy they told you so?
Did they grab their coat and go?
Did they say their ex was better?
Did they leave an ex’s letter?
Maybe they won’t do the thing that you love
For you it’s essential, for you it’s a must!
…
So…
You find a good partner, great, once and for all
What happens next, it is your call
That bizarre moment all is done
The sex is over, so is the fun
Make a cup of tea? Put on the telly
Make dinner, fill our bellies?
Awkwardness over for a little bit
Enjoy your life, make a go of it! 😄

I am looking, what am I looking for
Something to change, not like before
I am fed up with the norm, the status quo
This purgatory, I’m going to and fro
Nothing is ever new, it’s always the same
This job is getting to me, giving me pain
Late nights, no family life, doing in my brain
I’m so busy at work, too tired to complain
I’m trying so hard to attain something new
At the moment crappy sticks to me like glue
Rejections, no answers, days passing by
Times a wasting, it doesn’t help to cry
My girlfriend, my kids, I do this for you all
Luck has to visit me once, I refuse to fall
Say no all you want, I refuse to be beat
I’m a stubborn bastard, I don’t accept defeat
I will provide, I will always go all the way
It will change soon my life, it starts today
