Corpse Flowers
You’ve got to be a hard man,
In these cold & cynical times
There’s no room for the soft or weak,
The naïve or the kind
All you need is love they said
But hate is what we craved
Humanity is full of shit
Corpse flowers on the grave
Everyone’s a liar these days,
A cheater, or a thief
There’s greed, cruelty & ignorance
In every single face
The Beatles said: “All You Need Is Love”
But that was yesterday
We tramped the dirt down flat on that
Corpse flowers on the grave
When we look into the mirror these days
Do we like what we see?
Or are the lines a little deeper set
On you, and on me
I was born in ‘66
On the crest of a new wave
But all of that is dead & gone
Corpse flowers on the grave
There’s money to made in filth
The pigs are in the trough
There’s plenty of muck for everyone
Actually no, not quite enough
Face it, it’s survival
Of the fittest over the meek
Only the strong survive
When the outlook is so bleak
Don’t get ill & don’t get old
Don’t end up on the street
There’s enough money to start a war
But we can’t make ends meet
This is what we wanted
Admit it, we're all the same
Happy to be buried
With corpse flowers on our grave
It’s a comedy of cruelty
Still we play the game
TV, papers & social media
Perpetuate the blame
Orwell’s Pigs made it big
Humanity in all but name
They’ll bury us on down on Jones’s farm
Corpse flowers on the grave
They say that in the end days
Only the verminous will thrive
But I’m pretty optimistic
Humanity could survive
Line up the seconds
Bullet to the head
Go gently into your dark night
Corpse flowers for the dead
Imagine a boot stamping on a human face
For all eternity
Orwell predicted well I think
Yes, I do believe
We will sit & drink Cortados
As the clocks strike thirteen
And we won’t remember a single thing
About how things used to be….
“Under the spreading chestnut tree,
I sold you & you sold me..”

Mistakes Are Beautiful

Mistakes Are Beautiful
Mistakes are beautiful
They make the world go round
Mistakes are beautiful
An unexpected sound
Just when we get hung up
On getting it just right
Along comes a mistake
And everything wrong is right
Mistakes are groovy
We make them every day
Mistakes are ok
Whatever some might say
Just when we get hung up
On getting it all just right
Along comes a mistake
And everything wrong is right
Mistakes are beautiful
They make the world go round
Mistakes are beautiful
Don’t let them drag you down
Just when we get hung up
On getting it all just right
Along comes a mistake
And everything wrong is right
Never let them show you the error
Of your ways.
