Script For A Jester's Tear

So here I am once more in the playground of the broken hearts,

one more experience, one more entry in a diary, self penned

Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and pride

Too late to say I love you, Too late to restage the play

Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterday.

I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts

Too much, Too soon, too far, to go,

too late to play, the game is over.

Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and pride

I'm losing on the swings, I'm lossing

on the roundabouts, the game is over

Too late to say I love you, Too late to restage the play

The game is over.

I act the role in classic style of

a martyr carved with a twisted smile

To bleed the lyric for this song

to write the rites to right my wrongs

an epitaph to a broken dream to

exorcise this silent scream

A scream that's borne from sorrow.

I never did write that love song the words just never seemed to flow

No sad in reflection Did I gaze through perfection

and examine the shadows on the other side of mourning

and examine the shadows on the other side of mourning

Promised wedding now a wake

The fool escaped from paradise will look over his shoulder and cry

Sit and chew on daffodils and struggle to answer why?

As you grow up and leave the playground where you kissed your prince

and found your frog, Remember the Jester that showed

you tears, the script for tears.

So I'll hold my peace forever when you wear your bridal gown

In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the siren's

song has gone solo in the game I've gone solo in the game

But the game is over

Can you still say you love me Can you still say you love me

Can you still say that you love me.

 

He Knows You Know

Light switch, yellow fever, crawling up your bathroom wall

Singing psychedelic praises to the depths of the china bowl

You've got venom in your stomach, You've got poison in your head

You should have listen to the priest at the

confession when he offered you the sacred bread.

He knows, you know, he knows, you know,

he knows, you know, but he's got problems.

Fast feed, crystal fever, swarming through a fractured mind

Chilling needles freeze emotion, the blind shall lead the blind

You've got venom in your stomach, You've got poison in your head

When your conscience whispered, the vein lines

stiffened, you were walking with the dead.

He knows, you know, he knows, you know, he knows, you know

He's got experience, he's got experience, he knows you know

but he's got problems, problems, problems.

He knows... Slash wrists, scarlet fever,

crawl under your bedroom door

Pumping arteries ooze their problems,

through the gap that the razor tore

You've got venom in your stomach,

You've got poison in your head

You should have listened to your analyst's

questions when you lay on his leather bed.

He knows, you know, he knows, you know,

he knows, you know, but he's got problems.

Blank eyes, purple fever streaming through the frosted panes.

You learned your lesson far too late from the links in a chemist chain.

You've got venom in your stomach, You've got poison in your head

You should have stayed at home and talked

with father listen to the lies he fed.

He knows, you know, he knows, you know,

he knows, you know, but he's got problems.

He knows, you know, he knows, you know,

he knows, you know he's got experience,

he's got experience, he knows you know

he knows you know.

 

The Web

The rain auditions at my window, it's symphony echoes in my womb

My gaze scans the walls of this apartment

to rectify the confines of my tomb

I'm the cyclops in the tenement, I'm the soul without the cause

Crying midst my rubber plants, ignoring beckoning doors,

Clippings from ancient newspapers he scattered cross the floor

Stained by the wine from a shattered glass,

meaningless words, yellowed by time,

Faded photos exposing pain, celluloid leeches bleeding my mind

You've finished playing hangman, you've cast the fateful dice

Advise, advise, advise me, this shroud will not suffice.

Attempting to discard these clinging memories,

I only serve to wallow in our past

I fabricate the weave with my excuses,

its strands I hope and pray shall last

Oh please do last.

The flytrap needs the insect, ivy caresses the wall

Needles make love to the Junkies, sirens seduce with their call

Confidence has deserted me, with you it has forsaken me

Confused and rejected, despised and alone,

I kiss isolation on it's fevered brow

Security clutching me, obscurity threatening me

Your reasons were so obvious as my friends have qualified

I only laughed away your tears, but even jesters cry

I realise I hold the key to freedom,

I cannot let my life be ruled by threads

The time has come to make decisions,

the changes have to be made

I realise I hold the key to freedom,

I cannot let my life be ruled by threads

The time has come to make decisions,

the changes have to be made.

Now I leave you, the past has had its say

You're all but forgotten a mote in my heart

Decisions have been made.

Decisions have been made I've conquered my fears

the flaming shroud.

 

Garden Party

Garden Party held today, invites call the debs to play,

social climbers polish ladders, wayward sons again have fathers,

edgy eggs and queing cumbers, rudely wakened from their slumber,

time has come again for slaughter on the lawns by still Cam waters.

Champagne corks are firing at the sun again

Swooping swallows chased by violins again

Straafed by Strauss they sulk in crumbling eaves again.

Apertifs consumed en masse display their owners on the grass

Couples loiter in the cloisters, social leeches quoting Chaucer.

Doctor's son a parson's daughter where why not and should they oughta

Please don't lie on the grass, unless accompanied by a fellow,

may I be so bold as to suggest Othello.

Punting on the Cam is jolly fun they say

Beagling on the downs Oh please come they say

Rugger is the tops a game for men they say.

Angie chalks another blue, mother smiles she did it too

Chitters chat and gossips lash, posers pose pressmen flash.

Smiles polluted with false charm, locking onto Royal arms,

Society columns now ensured, return to mingle with the crowds

Oh what a crowd.

 

Chelsea Monday

Catalogue princess, apprentice seductress

living in her cellophane world in glitter town

Awaiting the prince in his white Capri

Dynamic young tarzan courts the bedsit queen.

She's playing the actress in this bedroom scene

She's learning her lines from glossy magazines

Stringing all her pearls from her childhood dreams

Auditioning for the leading role on the silver screen.

Patience my tinsel angel, patience my perfumed child

One day they'll really love you, you'll charm them with that smile

But for now it`s just another Chelsea Monday.

Drifting with her incense in the labyrinth of London,

Playing games with faces in the neon wonderland

Perform to scattered shadows on the shattered cobbled aisles

Would she dare recite soliliquies at the risk of stark applause.

Hello John, did you see the Standard about four hours ago?

Fished a young chick out the Old Father

Blonde hair, Blue eyes

She said she wanted to be an actress or something

Nobody knows where she came from, where she was going

Funny thing was she had a smile on her face

She was smiling

What a waste!

She'll pray for endless Sundays as she enters saffron sunsets,

Conjure phantom lovers from the tattered shreds of dawn,

Fulfilled and yet forgotten the St. Tropez mirage

Fragrance aphrodisiac, the withered tuberose.

Patience my tinsel angel, patience my perfumed child

One day they'll really love you, you'll charm them with that smile

But for now it's just another Chelsea Monday.

Catalogue princess, apprentice seductress

buried in her cellophane world in glitter town.

Of Chelsea Monday.

She was only dreaming...

Forgotten Sons

Armalite , street lights, nightsights

Searching the roofs for a sniper, viper fighter

Death in the shadows he'll maim you, wound you, kill you

for a long forgotten cause, on not so foreign shores,

boys baptised in wars.

Morphine, chill stream, bad dream

Serving as numbers on dogtags, flakrags, sandbags

Your friend has married your best friend, loves end, poison pen

Your flesh will always creep, tossing turning sloop

The wounds that burn so deep.

Your mother sits on the edge of the world

when the cameras start to roll

Panoramic viewpoints ressurect the killing fold

Your father drains another beer he's one of the few that cares

Crawling behind a saracen's hull

from the safety of his living room chair -

Forgotten Sons, Forgotten Sons, Forgotten Sons.

And so I patrol the valley of the shadow of the Tricolor

I must fear evil for I am but mortal and mortals can only die

asking questions, pleading answers from the nameless

faceless watchers that stalk the carpeted corridors of Whitehall

Who order desecration, mutilation, verbal masturbation

in their guarded bureaucratic wombs

Minister, Minister care for your children, order them not

into damnation to eliminate those who would trespass

against you, for whose is the kingdom and the power and the

glory, forever and ever Amen - Halt who goes there, death,

approach friend

You're just another coffin on its way down the emerald aisle

Where the children's stoney glances mourn your death

in a terrorist's smile.

The bomber's arm places fiery gifts on the supermarket shelves,

Alleys sing with shrapnel dance in a temporary hell

Forgotten Sons

From the dolequeue to the regiment a profession in a flash,

but remember Monday's signings when from door to door you dash,

On the news a nation mourns your unknown soldier count the cost,

For a second you'll be famous but labelled posthumous

Forgotten Sons Forgotten Sons

Ring of roses, they all fall down

Peace on earth and mercy mild, Mother Brown has lost her child

Just another Forgotten Son
