Letter from Australia

Conversations With Another

Is falling for a bitch
Such a great crime?
Not everyone gets it
All right the first time

Laddie, you do think too much
Live a little, laught a little more
You're still in your prime,
And way too young to be a bore!

Twenty-eight years and
This guy has found
He's taken a lot of money
To come right back round

Full circle, you've seen the truth
Life is too short to waste your youth
Carpe diem, my boy, seize the day
It's Time to choose, what is your own way?

(Together) It really doesn't matter
What you do or don't do
Just don't spend all day
Thinking, or Chance will fly past you

Late for My Wedding

It's two hours past noon
Mamma's got the labour pains
But baby's born past midnight
How patiently mother strains

Baby's quick to grow
In size but slow
To walk the talk
And talk the talk

Fast forward
Age three and a half
He poos, picks it up and
Ooh.. what a laugh!

It's eight in the morning
And I'm still on my bed
One more time and you're fired
My lady boss to me said

Traffic lights changed
But my car's still standing
Boy at this rate
I'm gonna be late for my wedding

Who would I be
If I didn't say what I mean?
What good external piety
If deep within I'm unclean?
A confession proclaimed
Or one silently professed
The goose and the gander
Both equally ad-dressed
Pronouncements are but vanity
Prescriptions of insanity
Minions remain not blind
To the suffering of our kind
I'm not a role model
I'm not a saint
I'll share with you what I believe
But I can't be what I ain't

The Cruise

These angel eyes
Softly gaze at the ocean
Th'enchanting smile
Fills the room with radiance
That soulful look
Gently tells the story
The sparkling twinkle
Opens my heart to wonder
What can I do
To hold your memory forever?
The days spent are fleeting
Yet in darkness I am not alone
I close my eyes
I see your spirit
Drifting along the coastal waters
Ready to rekindle the passion
These waves of turbulence
Assail my mortal body
With me you hang on
To linf, truth, and all you hold dear
