From Black To White – 29th December 1987

December 29, 1987November 6, 2021 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

There is an in-between
Not often seen
In the light of day
A non-colour, grey
From black to white
A guiding light
From white to black
Halfway down the track

Old Men – 26th December 1987

December 26, 1987November 6, 2021 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Why is it everywhere I see
Young men growing so quickly
Old men, they die so young
And the older that they get
It gets harder to forget
That old men die so young

Tiny Disturbed – 24th December 1987

December 24, 1987November 4, 2021 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

I said ‘How come this is going on?’
I asked again but you lost your tongue
Tiny was so disturbed to find
That you were out of your tiny disturbed mind
Ruffled the sheets like you ruffle your hair
Trying to catch something that just isn’t there
I said ‘How come this is going on?’
But this time you bit your tongue

Ambition – 21st December 1987

December 21, 1987November 4, 2021 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

They cut you down to size
They cut you out of their lives
The future just looks so bleak
No ambition for another boring week
Offer me solutions
But they’re your questions

New Attitudes – 18th December 1987

December 18, 1987November 2, 2021 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

I found this new shitty attitude
I guess it’s part of growing up
I didn’t like it when I first met it
It made me feel like throwing up
Stabbed in the back – no sin anymore
Pushed about, beaten and kicked to the floor
A new attitude with a sense of attack
If you hit me, I’ll fuckin’ hit you back

Something Weird – 14th December 1987

December 14, 1987September 20, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Don’t forget to write me a letter
On that rainy day
Give me something to remember
You by this way
I’m falling off clouds
It’s raining in my heart
Something weird about the sky
It’s all falling apart

Sad Little Girl – 12th December 1987

December 12, 1987November 2, 2021 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Have you seen my sad little girl?
Lost and lonely in her desperate world
Face forlorn with the tears she cried
Nowhere to turn and nowhere to hide
Let free of her fears
And to cry no more tears
Released from her pain
To be with me again
Have you seen her sad little eyes?
There is no emotion to see inside
Her cold skin holds no passion to touch
And now I want her oh, so much

Incense – 11th December 1987

December 11, 1987November 2, 2021 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Incense holder on the table
Perfumaries wafting where able
I knocked it over – it was so hazy
I was incensed – I went crazy

Ten To – 10th December 1987

December 10, 1987October 24, 2025 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ 20 Comments

Ten to ten again
One of those nights
Ten to one
I start another fight

Ten to ten again
Let’s go home
Ten to one
I’ll be alone

Ten to the end
Another ten friends
Ten score – ten more
Went away – ten to yesterday
