I’ve been the king and I’ve played the clown That’s life I’ve been the verb and I’ve been the noun That’s life When you’re on the top you don’t know it When you’re at the bottom well you just don’t show it I’ve been right side up and upside down That’s life I’ve been loved […]

For Richard Tutin There’s something in my heart that shouldn’t be there Something in my soul I can’t explain A feeling like it isn’t really me there But a fragment of someone else’s pain It’s been there since I was born A coat that I have worn down through my winters of decline There’s something […]
For Craig Rodgers Save me a place ‘cos I’ll be there soon And we’ll sit together and howl at the moon We’ll talk of what was and what might have been Who’s out there sailing And whose ship has come in Save me a place ‘cos I’ll be there soon And we’ll sit together and […]
I believe Oh I believe you and I were meant to be The other hearts Those other hearts We finally chose to set them free And meet here between the devil and the deep blue sea Talk to me Talk to me Tell me what you know I need Tell the truth Tell the truth […]
