Section 4 – Beyond the Brim
Beyond the Brim
standing tall and walking proud
all because a girl allowed
a boy to give the life in him
to one with soul beyond the brim
In me, you sing
Well I wish I knew better
The beat of your heart
So I could fix all that’s a troublin’
Now I know words beat letters
In this World
In this world, it seems that we must be constantly outdoing each other. I would like to step off that nowhere train, that obvious disaster, and embrace a state of not giving a damn for such things as reputation, climbing ladders and being the very, very best that one busy bee can be.
Dear Sincerely
someday we may have riches
turn two fishes into shoals
right now we have each other
and no other girl can hold
On being in Hell
when you go to a place where the sun don’t shine
the soul flees your dreams so they torture your mind
you hold on with hope but it gets you so far
so you think about death and with it you spar
Rosebud
a misty rain soothes my warm skin
burned by the labours of the day
cool evening caresses my churning thoughts
I could sit out here all night
Human Touch
I don’t need much bar the human touch
a word saying ‘you’ll be fine’
worries shared over tea and biscuits
I always leave the lighter
I do not Want
I do not want to lead
I do not want to follow
I just want to get on
with all I have to swallow
Man in Black
Lock up the ghetto
Lock up the ghetto
An hour of sun a day
I Heard a Bird
you want heaven
heaven sent
heaven came
and off you went
Snowball
Snowball was our rabbit friend
she had this mate called Lenny
together they munched all the plants
and carrots they ate many
Lenny Pig
little Lenny, Lenny pig
you weren’t big
but you were big
in all our hearts
Two Sailing Ships
two sailing ships took a trip
across the great divide
one got stuck the other hooked
and shared its full supply
In Memory of my Grandparents
ever feel that someone’s minding you
ever feel, though without proof, it’s true
that when the cards are dealt each day anew
someone’s pulled an ace to guard your two
Home
she's a good girl
she's gonna go with me ‘til the sun goes down
she's the one girl
who's gonna show for me if shit's going down
