A Sunday evening at home is rare for me so I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here. I’m going to blast some reggae, attack that massive ironing pile, get stuck right into the sunday paper, continue with my neverending study of Lula, and eat more than my fair share of roast spuds. It’ll be over before I know it.

all the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I heard that song on the radio today and couldn’t believe how fresh it sounded. Go and listen, I beg of you.
and now you must believe me, you never lose your dreams
Oops. It’s been rather a long while, hasn’t it? Unintentional, I can assure you. I haven’t even been doing much. Mostly getting scared about the imminent cold, excited about the imminent German market, and even more excited about the imminence of the Cast gig we’re going to in Liverpool. Remember them? Think 1995. Anyway, I must dash into the misty morning, but I’ll be back, much sooner than before.
we’ll travel along, singin’ a song, side by side
The boy and I have been together for four years today. I don’t mean to sound gushing, but ooooof! That’s a feat. There’ll be no lavish celebrations, but we do have a few days off together, which I suppose will consist of lots of food and lots of The Everly Brothers (what can I say, that’s just our thing). And I do hope it’s super sunny and super cold so we can go on wintery walks and hold gloved hands (although I’m sure he wouldn’t wish the same, haha)….
this is for the duke
dance before me like a million eyes
that call me on and on across the universe.
thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox,
they tumble blindly as they make their way
across the universe…
in restless dreams i walked alone…
‘neath the halo of a street lamp,
i turned my collar to the cold and damp,
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
that split the night
and touched the sound of silence.
he made his usual entrance looking so dandy and so fine…
he took whatever he wanted and he laid it all to waste,
but his bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the Jack of Hearts.

when they’ve tortured and scared you
then they expect you to pick a career,
when you can’t really function – you’re so full of fear;
a working class hero is something to be.
