Listening now
The music that comes out of thin air, one moment alone and the next you are there, the music that comes out of thin air…
Coolin’
You think someone’s coming to save you but I know that someone’s been and gone I watched her shake her head in disgust because you wouldn’t dance to her song. The graveyard’s full of believers keeping the strawberries ruby red light and the church is full up with sinners who are destined to walk with…
Nightcap
I thought Scarlet and Destiny were meant to be or at least meant until eternity, lovers on screen are not what they seem and that’s how it seems to me. The Mysterons were a better bet to get off on and that’s the hand of imagination kicking in, ticking over, getting under the skin. She invited…
The concerto
It was musical but not my cup of tea, I wanted Eminem or at a pinch Jay Z I got violins and an oboe too slow not like that Jewish number which speeds along you know which one? the wedding song. it never eased the pain (except at the bakery where music tames the savage…
Rivers to cross

Discs
First the tap, tap, tapping then the violins cuts in the piano starts laughing and the keys begin let’s play. Music for the tired and music for the strong, for the song that carries on long after the sounds have gone let’s play…
The Prez
Seventeen fifty two point four ‘more than radio’ spin the dial Sax’ and Lester with a young man’s smile I listen in to ‘all that Jaz’…
In the distance
I’ve been listening to Joplin and Cohen, sad knowing they’re gone, but if we do live on in the words of the song all is not lost. Everywhere I have ever been everything I’ve ever known, seen or shown is a part of me, lyrically composed? only God knows and he’s keeping quiet tonight…
Natural wonders
Songbirds sing songs, from the branches of the trees in the sky across the seas they fly to bring music to my ears and tears to my eyes. Every stone I skim river I swim roads I walk words that I talk do not compare to the birds in the air in the trees across…
