Sweaty palms clasped so tight
It was an almighty fight
Doesn’t matter what you say
All you can do is pray
Who’s your God? What’s your master?
Can you run away any faster?
Pray to someone, don’t care who
And maybe someone will pray for you
Month: February 1985
Convoyed – 7th February 1985
The hippies are on a convoy
Going to Stonehenge
The police aren’t very happy
They want some revenge
Herded round the country
At the taxpayer’s expense
They can only go so far
Till they face the fence
You can’t kill the spirit
It says on their van
They are going to walk
Just as far as they can
What a waste of time
It makes me very annoyed
Call it what you like
The convoy was convoyed
Paralysed – 6th February 1985
Paralysed
Can’t move
I’ll never
Improve
Sit there
Wheelchaired
Straw drink
Just blink
Can’t move
Closed groove
No body
Half head
No nerves
Half dead
Decade – 5th February 1985
Ten years on
Ten years gone
Ten more to come
A decade long
Ten years early
Ten years late
Next ten years
Ten years wait
Ten years now
A new decade
Ten years then
Are now decayed
*Schedule – 4th February 1985
Everything in order
Everything on time
Such a perfect thing
This wonderful life of mine
I’m on schedule
I looked at my schedule
Don’t know when I’ll die
I haven’t planned it yet
But I’ll tell everyone
So they don’t get upset
I’m on schedule
I looked at my schedule

Sick – 3rd February 1985
Being sick is really bad
It makes you sick, it makes you mad
It’s cos you had too much to drink
It’s cos you didn’t really think
It’s cos you drank it much too quick
That’s why you are now so sick
Heartache – 2nd February 1985
She gave me a heartache
It was not my mistake
She gave me a heartache
It was more than I could take
She made my heart bleed
In the end I did concede
She made my heart weep
Her love I couldn’t keep
Puppetmaster – 1st February 1985
Puppetmaster pulling strings
Puppetmaster singing things
Puppetmaster in control
Puppetmaster owns your sould
