Ugly and Cheap

i may just have an ugly face.
i also maybe cheap
but i have made many "a man race"
as beauty is only skin deep.

i may not be as pretty as a picture
but i have often made a choice
and i may not be any richer
but there is love in my voice.

i may not have lovely clothes
but i can make love to you
and i may not be beautiful as a rose
but i know when love is true.

i may not have a beautiful body
but it is still kept on view
and i may not be small and often in the nuddy
but my affections are on cue

so if you rate your love on looks alone
i think I'll just leave and tarry
because you heart is colder than stone
your the type for me not to marry.

Stand Up For Yourself

so whats all the fuss about?
all the shouting and screaming
no more hard luck stories to tout
no more back stabbing scheming

just stand up to all and sundry
what do you think this is beggers week
it's just not like it used to be
so stand proud no room for the meek

you have to fight for what is yours
fight until the nasty bitter end
if you don't into your pride it bores
stand with pride your heart will mend

but it's a crying shame!
not to follow advice
for i am exactly the same
worse it's not my only vice.

Devils Gate

come around to my house
i have a story to tell
do come to my house
it's a gate so close to hell

little demons come to tea
to have butter and crumpets
they come to visit me
and blow their glowing trumpets

hobbits in green hats
goblins in blue
plus big purple rats
and hobgoblins too!!

come around to my house
we have a gift especially for you
oh!!please come to my house
your friends can come too!

the only thing you have to bring
is a furry pink mole!!
the only thing you'll have to bring
is a decent healthy soul!

Rat and Pig Or You and Me

you've heard me speak of zodiacs
your face is giving weird looks
with me staring right on back
so i started to read in one of my books

it's one of the books with signs in chinese
"so surprising" not what you'd expect
so i'm breaking you in with a tender ease
but with total honesty and respect

now i'll proberbly be causing myself alot of strife
but it says your a typical pig
no honest on my mundane life
not only that but it's written quite big

well i thought that sounded quite bad
my sign said i'm worse than that
when i turnt over the page and how sad
i ended up being a bloody rat!!!!

You

ever glowing colours
          float around my head
did i hear the colours
          or was it something you said?
your eyes are the windows
that help me to see into your heart!
your hands are my senses
that help me to feel
your mouth is a door
that led me on through
your hair is the sunrise
that i awaken to
your voice is my conscious
that calls out to me
your skin is the colour of
the way you treat me
your body is my cover
that keeps me warm
your arms are my shield
that keeps me from harm.

My Daughters Just Like Me

i knew you loved her
i could see it in your eyes
your wife sometimes called her fleur
sleeping where she often lies

i saw the way you touched her hair
and you laughed when she learn't to walk
you hoped that she would'nt have a care
and how delighted you were when she began to talk

and when she would stay with you
i'd have no worries not at all
i knew that love,thats oh!so true
not a man i know could walk so tall

boy if she could see you now
she would still feel the same
to feel such a heady love and how
it all seems such a shame

but i still have my memory
it will be totally honest and true
and caring as bygone hereditary
i'll be upfront and ernest about you

you were the grandad she never had
and she loves you still
but you were special your my dad
and i love you and always will.

My Ocean of Tears

puddles,ripples,splish,splash!
here are my feelings wallop,bang,crash
these are the sounds of my tears
oh!dad so many by gone years.

oceans,lakes,fields of water
so much love will never falter
there goe's my heart bending and reeling
tear drops,drip out my feelings!

hold me!shake me,shove me awake
oh!dad your gone, i'll cry you a lake
droplets of tears upon my face
splashes of tears,resembling lace

i would travel all oceans
through these fields of emotions
to bring you on home
so my mothers no longer alone

i've cried you a river of tears
oh!to go back to bygone years
but you will not come back
for me to have dad and mum to have jack!

My Haircut

why is it like this for me
it's not the way it's mean't to be
now i'm in a total rut
all because of my haircut

oh!it's all right for you to smirk
it's not you who looks a jerk
and now i feel so loud and gaudy
a totally messed up crowning glory

how i miss my flowing hair
and my neck so cold and so bare
i pine for my ratty locks
and for my head a suitable box

or maybe a high collared mac
and console myself it will grow back
they say it'll be just the same
but where to hide my face ,my shame

I've decided that it shouldn't have been done
and that i defiantly can't go on the run
so i have to live my life of doom
in the loneliness of my bedroom.

Smoking

i've tried to give up smoking!
something i totally reject
just a load of toking
but i still want a cigerette!

it makes your skin smell
your body rank
makes your veins swell
your hair lank

i'll give up the smoke!
i promise to eject
just one more toke
only one cigerette

it boils your blood
your heart goe's thump
go on gussa a lug
gives you a cancer lump

When Love Sinks

in the years of growing up
i think that i've grown down
i learnt to pay attention(sit up)
i also learnt how to frown

in happiness, i smile and grin
shaking and crying, not sad
where doe's it start or sadness begin
whats in good that turns out so bad

love is all sweetness and light
and the world is rose coloured pink
until the arguements and the fights
things you loved now suddenly stink

your unsinkable world so hurt tight
is suddenly started to get wet
run for the love boat your in for a fright
your not on that dry land yet

so i've learnt all about happy and sad
i've have lots of love and pain
i've also learnt the good and bad
just suppose i start all over again.
