In the days when we were radicals

I might as well be blind
Because I can’t see through the stage lights.
I only know you’re there from the sheer lack of your applause.
Because my song is uninspired,
Not too deep, a bit oblique,
Lacking in perception
Or a wry laconic twist.

The rhyme scheme is a little weak
The rhythm is unsure
The melody could use a tweak
And it’s mostly “borrowed,” so to speak.

If I had something to say
I’d make an effort to refine it.
I could pretend I’m wallowing in waves of schadenfreude.
But I can barely say that word,
Let alone define it.
You’d think by now my intellect would have some force behind it.
But that thought brings me ‘round to other thoughts I should avoid.

Like how I’m working 40 years to fund my final ten
And instead of helping orphans, I’m at this open mic again.

But let me say at this point
I’m not prone to introspection;
Men my age would rather wage
a war of self-deception.
Some guys get a motor bike
A sports car or a trophy wife.
I got a ukulele as my object of affection.

This song is almost over 
And I’ve still said nothing new.
Maybe 58’s too late to be a folk song ingénue.
But here’s a little secret I’ve been keeping for some time:
I’m really 57 but it didn’t fit the line.
I know these lyrics make no sense
But let me say in my defense
Who needs a good reason
when I have a decent rhyme?
Now this song is over; I thank you for your time.

It's Hard for a Posh Girl to be Country

Ukjent album (19.05.2006 01:12:47)

silent night

I'm Alex Cole Hamilton
I find it so insulting
That my pal Davey's been abused

He's got a beard and glasses
The SNP think that is
A reason to be really rude

If you diss him, I will feel it
Diss him, I will feel it
Diss him and I will scweam and say

Davey, I love you
Davey, I love you
Davey I love
I love only you

I embody sychophancy
You're Sid and I am Nancy
It's really easy to explain

My one emotion is smarmy
I want to join the smug journalist army
I love to hear you call my name
Oh tell me that you feel it
Tell me that you feel it
Tell me that you feel the same

chorus

Oh Mr Torrance, our saviour
You're like a Scottish Lawrence of Arabia
Striding through the political desert with Ruth
Atop your fearless camel of truth
Dishing out polemical bon mots
Hounded like Marilyn Monroe

You're hard hipster jive, Little Mix
Like a sexy weetabix
Your book on Salmond's pure James Joyce
If prose were a car,
If prose were a car, 
you'd be a Rolls Royce

Your analysis of Mr President
Should be on gorilla TV

Davey I Love You
