Together We Can

Together We Can

Hold my hand I will walk with you
Together we will ease your pain
Let sobriety be your sunshine
As addiction is your rain.

The path that lies before you
Will not be paved in gold
People will help and with your strength
A new life for you to mould.

Pain will come and pain will go
A mountain you must climb
Tears of grief will sometimes fall
As progress will take time.

My darling wife I promise you
I'll be here by your side
If you fall I'll pick you up
In me you can confide.

Together we can beat this foe
Together we can fight
Together we can hand in hand
March on into the night.

Beans On Toast

two more days before i get paid
the pantry is almost empty
4 slices of bread and a can of beans
if i'm careful this could be plenty

i have half a pint of milk and 3 bags of tea
and a little bit of sugar
things could be worse
i could have nothing
i'm really a lucky bugger

I Won I Won I Won

I WENT TO THE SHOP TODAY ,
TWO CHANCES ON THE LOTTO,
GOT TO BE INIT TO WINIT THEY SAY,
THATS EVERYONES MOTTO.

I REALISED I DON'T NEED TO WIN,
I'D ALREADY WON THE JACKPOT BEFORE,
COS AS I GOT CLOSER TO HOME,
YOU WERE STANDING AT OUR DOOR.
