The ships sailed away at night

The offering faces the sea
The truth she spoke goes unheard
And the lie is easily believed

Blood and fire, walls in smoke
Husbands and sons, slaves and wives
Spoils to the horsemen fall to the knives
What we were is not what we’ll be

The temples burn and anger gods
The voyage home is not so clear
The winds and tides taken away

No one wins the war
Or the battles ebb and flow
Just the way it is
All we’ll ever know

Blood and fire, walls in smoke
Husbands and sons, slaves and wives
Spoils to the horsemen fall to the knives
What we were is not what we’ll be

The Walls Fall

See her walking down the street
Tapping her heels and skipping the beat
She got a place to be, people to meet
If you’re in the kitchen
You gonna feel the heat

Dripping jewels, Gucci and Prada
Got an entourage like an armada
Legs and heels, struts her stuff
No way that you
That you’re man enough

Sleek walker, side talker
Kinda woman you wanna stalk her
Looks aside and cuts you dead
You’re so in love - in your head

Fur flying, her eyes are lying
You’re not there despite your trying
Across the street a mile wide
No way for you
That you’re getting inside

Sleek walker, side talker
Kinda woman you wanna stalk her
Looks aside and cuts you dead
You’re so in love - in your head

Sleek walker, side talker
Kinda woman you wanna stalk her
Looks aside and cuts you dead
You’re so in love - in your head

Sleek Walker

Don’t ask me that you little man
I’m here as part of a bigger plan
I’ll tell you what they need to be told
And chuck in some shit that needs to be sold

I’m here to lie not to talk to you
To say my lines and nothing new
You can ask again, give it a try
But we all just know I’m here to lie

Silly girl, that’s not the thing
We’re on here for me to sing
I’ve got a book that’s out next week 
So shut the fuck up and let me speak

You’re poor, you’re petty, just don’t matter 
Do your job and let my wallet get fatter
Don’t bother me with your silly pains
I’m checking my balance for the latest gains

Here to lie
You can just grow old and die
Your life just passes by
But as for me 
I’m here to lie

Here To Lie

I went to a school you could only read about
Waltzed into a uni you could only dream of
Mummy and Daddy bought me a house you can only drive by
On my plate there’s a job that pays more than you’ll ever see
Nanny said I’m a clever boy, Teacher said I can be anything
Uncle Tm said he could get me in, the chap at the door is here to keep you out

I’m as posh as fuck, I don’t need luck, I’ve got everything you can’t have
I’m as rich as god, you worthless sod, Do you not know who I am?

My watch cost more than your car, my handbag could buy me a new kidney
Spent more last night on champagne than you could earn in a year

I’m as posh as fuck, I don’t need luck, I’ve got everything you can’t have
I’m as rich as god, you worthless sod, Do you not know who I am?

Wearing a dress I got given to be seen in
These shoes are agony but and I’ve got a dozen pairs
Plummy vowels and laugh like a horse, you’re so amusing, is that actually your house?

I’m as posh as fuck, I don’t need luck, I’ve got everything you can’t have
I’m as rich as god, you worthless sod, Do you not know who I am?

And I want for one thing that you’ve actually got - Nothing.

Posh As Fuck

I didn’t see her, I wasn’t there
I never met her, I was elsewhere
I didn’t do it, I never have
Just look at her, she’s some chav

It wasn’t me, it never is
Pass the caviar, pour the fizz
Get the chopper, start the jet
I’ve got medals, I’m a vet

Couldn’t be me, I don’t sweat
Pass the pizza and garlic bread
I might have known him but not that well
And as for her, I couldn’t tell
They might’ve met mummy but not with me
We’re not that chummy, can’t you see?

It wasn’t me, it never is
Pass the caviar, pour the fizz
Get the chopper, start the jet
I’ve got medals, I’m a vet    

Who’s that little man, make him go away
I’m just passing through not here to stay

It wasn’t me, it never is
Pass the caviar, pour the fizz
Get the chopper, start the jet
I’ve got medals, I’m a vet

Who’re you gonna believe, her or me?
So just eff off, cos I’m royalty.

I Didn't Do It

Ex agris ad caelum
Hordeum et frumentum
metemus et seminamus
ex quo nascimur

Labore et quiete
Sub sole et luna
A puero usque ad hominem
Ad caelum quoque cito

(Barley and corn
We reap and we sow
from the day we are born
Toil and rest

Under sun and moon
From boy to man
To heaven too soon)

From The Fields To The Sky

Come along, baby
Come and say maybe
Come and do it all again

If you’re gonna leave me
You’d better believe me
I’m gonna cry a river and then

Start and stop
We’re ready to rock
Turn it up to ten
Rock n roll
You took my soul
And dropped it back again

You know you’re gonna break hearts
And kill a lot of false starts
And say that we’ll still be friends

The truth is a killer
Cos loving you’s a thriller
And I’m not going there again

Start and stop
We’re ready to rock
Turn it up to ten
Rock n roll
You took my soul
And dropped it back again

Goodbye lover
She’s found another
She’s gonna do it all again

Come And Do It All Again

Horrified by... er, I mean inspired by the recent Brit award for 'Songwriter Of The Year' - This is a complete piss take and took about five minutes, I can only apologise. 

I’ll buy you a bag of chips if you let me kiss your lips
Bet it’s hard to find a dress that fits cos you’ve got lovely hips

Cos I love you so And I want to let you know
Never gonna let you go, Oh no

Cos you’re the lady, I’m a scamp, never going to leave your camp
Shine the light of your lamp cos you’re the lady, I’m the scamp

Saw you walking down the street, Sunglasses on in the heat
Kept up with the pace of your feet Cos I knew we had to meet

Cos I love you so And I want to let you know
Never gonna let you go, Oh no

Cos you’re the lady, I’m a scamp, never going to leave your camp
Shine the light of your lamp cos you’re the lady, I’m the scamp

Now we’re here for all of time I am yours and you are mine
Every day the sun’s gonna shine and everything is fine

Cos I love you so And I want to let you know
Never gonna let you go, Oh no

Cos you’re the lady, I’m a scamp, never going to leave your camp
Shine the light of your lamp cos you’re the lady, I’m the scamp

Lady And The Scamp

In a truth universally acknowledged
That Roger, aged seven,
who last night dreamt of Manderly
In the best of times and the worst of times,
called himself Ishmael
As the clocks struck thirteen
He found himself transformed into a gigantic insect
And as all happy families are alike,
In the past which is a foreign country, 
And because all children except one grow up -
And all this happened, more or less,
In a hole in the ground  were there lived a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb who almost deserved it
He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff
