Dime Store Companion #16 :: April '25

Tear Drops

I’ll kick the can along the road
So many stories now untold
And in the ruins of each life
Lays the truth for which we strive

Each and everyday
I cry
Everywhere they say
Dry your eyes 
It’s just another day
So they say,
But I can’t stop these endless tears
They keep on falling

I’ll rest here a little while
Might find a reason not to cry
And looking up into the sky
I see a bird fly way up high

Each and everyday
I cry
Everywhere they say
Dry your eyes 
It’s just another day
So they say, 
But I can’t stop these endless tears
They keep on falling

I’ll keep on counting the tear drops
I’ll keep on counting these tears
I’ll keep on filling an ocean of tears

Each and everyday
I cry
Everywhere they say
Dry your eyes 
It’s just another day
So they say, 
But I can’t stop these endless tears
They keep on falling

I’ll keep on counting the tear drops
I’ll keep on counting these tears
I’ll keep on filling an ocean of tears

a quickie downstairs while we are busy obliterating ourselves ................theres still peace on the moon.......for now..........peace, and cheers for the listen


frost under foot in the morning
another cold afternoon
thinking how the tides are guided at night
by the hand of the moon

words are sometimes not needed
some things are spoken to soon
but you can't take them back again
like you can't steal the moon

hold tight, anything can happen now
they want to send us all to our doom
fighting for what on this little speck of dust
under the eye of the moon

the seasons will go on without us
life will continue to bloom
some things are just meant to be here
forever like the moon

time moves fast without warning
welcome to the winter of june
sometimes i wish i could fly away
into the arms of the moon


Some Things

Final mix of this tribute to all pollinators. Vanessa atalanta (aka Red Admiral) was formerly known as 'The Red Admirable'. This beautiful butterfly is on the ropes and in need of our help. The admirable creature needs long grass and not manicured lawns.

Sail On

The Telscombe Cliffs Acoustic Club
We just roll down to the pub
It's in our local neighbourhood
The Telscombe Cliffs Acoustic Club

Paul is the ukelele man
Always turns up with a plan
With humorous ditties
From many a year
He makes us laugh, that's really clear

There's Geordie Paul
With many a song
Old folk tunes
That we can sing along
A picking style we can really groove
Where there's nothing to lose

Then there's Carol on her keys instrument
From memory can't remember what its called
It plays chords with keys on a board
All the latest tunes she does afford

Kev the organiser man
Playing songs as diverse as he can
From obscure folk to Paul Simon
Neil Young to the Detectorists man


An honourable mention to Russ, Ian, Suzie, Tom and Ryan
With influences from bluegrass to something wild

A rent a crowd that cheer us on, thanks indeed to Phil, Julie and Ron
