Australia Day 1770

We docked the ship
dropped anchor in the bay 
headed for the shore 
pulling oars all the way 
the Captain at the helm
the Scientist at his side 
the joy in his face
had no place to hide
look at the Botany 
was all he could say 
then Captain Cook said 
call it Botany Bay

I'M Your Doctor

I can't remember 
your name or your face 
I don't even know 
why I'm in this place
now have I been bad 
or have I been good 
 they call me Alzheimer's
but I don't think they should  
I think my name 
is Robert or Bob 
but using my memory 
is a hell of a job 
now sit back and tell me 
what was your name 
and tell me once more 
the reason you came !!!

 I'm your Doctor 
                       Alzheimer's

Caged Gorilla

Why am I here 
this isn't my home 
I do miss my mountain
and the trees where I'd roam 
and what of my family 
where have they gone 
God knows if they're safe 
but still life goes on 
I hope they're not waiting 
not waiting for me 
just looking around 
I'll never be free

Big Mistake

He created man 
as a dream to be 
an experiment in a bottle 
to be kept you see
he created the world 
as a place to be free
but someone opened the bottle 
and set man on a spree 

Big Mistake

Bloody Computers

Yesterday 
my computer fried
yesterday
my car just died 
yesterday 
my house burnt down 
now I'm out on the street 
dressed like a clown 
I want to go back 
to live in a cave 
gave up on technology
I ain't that brave  
give me a river 
where I can catch fish
it may be only a dream 
 but it's a bloody good wish

Stock Take

One, two, three
one hundred and four 
five, six, seven
eight hundred and more 
I'm so confused
and I feel so sad 
stock take on my ant farm 
drives me mad

Forgiveness

Forgiveness
                the gift of giving 

May you find the way to forgive yourself
for the troubles you've put yourself through  
for life is a life long journey
and no one has the answer but you

Bring Me a Bottle

Bring me the bottle 
the Genie said 
I need a new home 
to rest my head  
pack it with silk 
the best you can find 
for the walls you see
all have to be lined
and it must be sound proof 
so you can't hear my tears
for I'm gonna be trapped 
for a thousand years

The Big Bad Wolf

So we meet again 
young lady in red 
off to see Grandma 
with a loaf of bread 
picking some flowers 
to brighten her day 
skipping and singing 
along the way 
and Grandma is waiting 
she'll be happy to see
she may not see you 
but I know she'll see me

Dolphins At Play

The world looks so lovely 
out here today 
the sun's shining bright 
and there's dolphins at play 
they're racing the waves 
at the bow of the ship 
like teenage surfers 
on a surfboard trip 
they seem so happy 
just a wave sets them free
what a wonderful way 
for life to be
