spirit in the sky.....

some 'nice' ones...

"I think it's dark and it looks like rain", you said
"and the wind is blowing like It's the end of the world", you said
(The Cure - Plainsong)

And now - I am gloryfing my tragic destiny"

I know it's out of fashion,
And a trifle uncool,
But I can't help it:
I'm a Romantic fool.

Martha & the Muffins, "Echo Beach"

As I think I've said before on NWO, it's the "trifle" that makes this poetry.

(The Chameleons)

I'm gazing at faces staring blankly at me

I can already hear your tune, calling me across the room

One cold damp evening the word stood still

Here comes the sun calling out to everyone

I don't believe in fascists or flashing females or factory floors

One afternoon a part of me parted too soon

Soldier, soldier won't you marry me

Must have died a thousand times

He's cold to the kiss

I shake my head and shiver They smile And then stab my back as they shake my hand

With the sun in your eyes It's easy mistaking The truth from the lies
In the love that you're making Don't pretend it isn't so

Soul in isolation I can hear you breathing down the hall

A Beecher's Brook is loveA hurdle at which greater men have fallen

White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack
Bela Lugosi's dead
==========

in nervous convulsion crouches infant ape trembling in mothers shit

========================================

When people listen to you don't you know it means a lot,
'Cos you've got to work so hard for everything you've got.

======================

A hand in my mouth
A life spills into the flowers

============================

Lips growing for service
Eyes steady for peeling

==============================

The stars that shine and the stars that shrink
In the face of stagnation the water runs
Before your eyes...

=========================

got me a movie
i want you to know
slicing up eyeballs
i want you to know

===================

face to face
blood to blood
the mountain
you tumbled from
and in the land of rape and honey
you prey

===================

High & dried, tyre rubber starts burning
Fill her up now before the table starts turning

=================

Time with my girl I spent it well
I had to be strong for my woman

======================

Can you tell whats on my mind

Shes with him its driving me wild

===========================

Everybodys talking bout the stormy weather
And whats a man do to but work out whether its true

=======================

In coats of many colour
Reptile man drop
===============
Stay, I'm burning slow
With me in the rain, walking in the soft rain
=========================
I couldn't sleep a wink last night
I'd love to hold on
========================
Cities, buildings falling down
Ideal homes falling down
================
How can I be sure when your intrusion's my illusion?
============================
Who's on the seventh floor
Brewing alternatives
=========================
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
=========================
Will I wake up some dream I made up
No I guess it's reality
==========================
I pictured a rainbow
You held in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw then plan
=======================
Did I ask you for your love?
Did I ask you for your dedication?
=============================
