Random Acts Of Blindness

Lambs will go to the slaughter in a neat row 
Dressed in one size too big to allow growth
Look around and realise I’m on my own
Seeing everybody that I don’t know 

Take me home right now I’m sensing danger
Make me disappear don’t want to be here
There’s surely better means of education 
Than leaving me to bear this suffocation

I was too fool school
Frightened by new 
Blinded by rules
Scared senseless too
There were weird sensations
Bad vibrations 
Left to make sense
Of strange and different 
Without a clue 

Take a square peg push it through a round hole
Take my head and mash it to fine pulp
I am never trouble never so bold
I am only doing as I’ve been told 

There are many lessons that I should learn
How to not be seen and not to be heard
Invisibility my aspiration 
Delete my name from every conversation 

I was too fool school
Frightened by new 
Blinded by rules
Scared senseless too
There were weird sensations
Bad vibrations 
Left to make sense
Of strange and different 
Without a clue 

Even now I still recall that day
My heart still sinks the fear is still the same
Memories so clear they don’t fade

I was too fool school
Frightened by new 
Blinded by rules
Scared senseless too
There were weird sensations

Bad vibrations 
Left to make sense
Of strange and different 
Without a clue

Too Fool For School

It’s been forever since the last I saw you
Arrangement made to be at the same venue 
I waited and I’m waiting for a lifetime 
No show and not so much as a goodbye 
So why

What am I to do when I’m abandoned 
I made a point of keeping our appointment 
Every day since even though it’s crazy 
In the vane hope thinking that just maybe
We’ll meet

Same time same place
Everyday never change
Same time same place
Never stray far away
Destined to be remain 
Never move again

Same time same place
Everyday never change
Same time same place
Never stray far away
This is where I stay
Hoping I will see your face

See the old guy sitting at the table
Staring at his coffee cup all day long
Never moves and every day he’ll be here
A fixture in this place year after year 
It’s weird 

Seems he just got used to disappointment 
Looks like he’s never known any different 
He’ll be back again this time tomorrow 
Everyday just waiting for the no show 
And so

Same time same place
Everyday never change
Same time same place
Never stray far away
Destined to be remain 
Never move again

Same time same place
Everyday never change
Same time same place
Never stray far away
This is where he stays
Same old disappointed face

Same time same place
Everyday never change
Same time same place
Never stray far away
Destined to be remain 
Never move again

Same time same place
Everyday never change
Same time same place
Never stray far away
To maybe to see her face
But just not today 
So back tomorrow just in case

Same Time Same Place

Sometimes But Not Every Time

Taken 60 years but I’ve finally started writing regularly. My twelve playlists were written and recorded over the past six years. 
The recordings were all put together using GarageBand.
