THEY SAY LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS
WELL WHERE ARE THEM LEMONS
MAN I’M CLUELESS, LIKE I NEVER USED TO DO THIS
PILLAGING THE ORCHARD YET STILL IM FEELING FRUITLESS
AS AN ANCHORMAN I AM USELESS
GONE LIVE BUT I DUNNO WHAT THE NEWS IS
TRUTH IS SOMETHING GOT ME BITING MY TONGUE
NOOSE AROUND THE NECK OF ALL THESE WORDS UNSUNG
TONGUE BROUGHT TO SLAUGHTER, HUNG DRAWN AND QUARTERED
DUMPED IN THE ORCHARD, NONE YET REPORTED
SOMETHING CAUSTIC CLOGGING UP MY CORTEXT
LEFT ME DORMANT, IMPOVERISHED OF THOUGHT
GETTING CAUGHT OUT TRYING TO EXTEND MY CHORUS
BANKRUPT POET, PROPRIETOR OF NAUGHT
MAN IT’S AWKWARD, I’M SO STIFLED
I FEEL A BIT LIKE PARIS LACKING EIFFEL
STILL A BUSY CITY WITH A HEART LESS PRETTY
NOW I’M PEDDLING MY FRETS
WHEN I SHOULD BE PENNING DITTIES
AND OH-WO-WO-WO-WO
AND IT REALLY GOT ME THINKING
THEY SAY LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS
WELL WHERE ARE THEM LEMONS
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME
JUST WHERE I CAN GET THEM
THERE’S NO NEED TO EXPLAIN
HOW TO MAKE LEMONADE
I AM ALREADY TRAINED IN THAT LESSON
JUST ANSWER THIS QUESTION SO I CAN STOP STRESSIN’
SHOW ME THE WAY TO THEM LEMONS
WELL I WAS UP TO MY BITS IN CITRUS
NOW I’M JUST A KID WITH A SQUEEZER AND WHISK
WONDERING HOW TO GO ABOUT MY BUSINESS WHEN THE
GROCER MAN MUSTA MISSED US
I’M IN THE MIDST OF A NARRATIVE ANARCHY
RUNNIN OUT OF JUICE, IT’S BEGINNING TO DAMAGE ME
CHEWING ON RIND IN PURSUIT OF RHYMES
WHEN THE BEST I’M GETTING ARE THESE LEMON ANALOGIES
WELL THIS IS WORTHLESS
I’M A WORDSMITH LETTING WORDS SLIP
‘TILL I’M WORD SICK
FEEL LIKE I BEEN KICKED TO THE CURB
SPITTING SILLY FRUIT QUIPS
NO PITH NO PURPOSE
WHERE DO YOU PROPOSE MY PROSE IS
WHO GOT MY PARABLES, ANYBODY KNOW THIS?
BE MY SAMARITAN AND MEND MY WOES
LEAD ME TO LEMONS, SHOW ME WHERE THE GROVE IS
BECAUSE I KNOW YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU KNOW
I KNOW YOU KNOW
THEY SAY LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS
WELL WHERE ARE THEM LEMONS
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME
JUST WHERE I CAN GET THEM
THERE’S NO NEED TO EXPLAIN
HOW TO MAKE LEMONADE
I AM ALREADY TRAINED IN THAT LESSON
JUST ANSWER THIS QUESTION SO I CAN STOP STRESSIN’
SHOW ME THE WAY TO THEM LEMONS
THEY SAY LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS
WELL WHERE ARE THEM LEMONS
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME
JUST WHERE I CAN GET THEM
THERE’S NO NEED TO EXPLAIN
HOW TO MAKE LEMONADE
I AM ALREADY TRAINED IN THAT LESSON
JUST ANSWER THIS QUESTION SO I CAN STOP STRESSIN’
SHOW ME THE WAY TO THEM LEMONS
WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS

The Owl's Song

Whenever we dance together I can’t remember the last I was end of my tether oh no,
And I hope forever we’re birds of a feather cause everyday I love you that much more,
The sails are up the wind is breezy got enough money and honey to keep sweet,
That this old boat can hold the both of us it seems so easy,
As we flow, like a poem,
No no no we don’t got no port of call and neither of us nautical so all in all it’s cool that we can navigate this boat at all,
These serene scenes, through these pea green beams are all we need
And I hope, I hope you know,
I may be an owl but baby when you howl you give me goose bumps
And I hope, I hope it’s so,
That my twits and two’s will do for you to dance to under many moons to come
I know this guy, this pig, this swine,
A silver smith, a friend of mine,
Dwells upon an island not so far form the horizon line,
What do you say we coast, for a year and a day at most to find a ring,
And by the day you’ll tell me tales as we sail away to sea,
All of the trouble and strife of feline life explain it all to me,
And I will take you in my wings,
Your purr the perfect rhythm while I sing,
And once the ring’s been bought my love,
I’ll slip it upon your paw my love,
I know a good spot to tie the knot,
Beyond the trees and high above the bay,
Where I’ll look at you and say
That I hope, I hope you know,
I may be an owl but baby when you howl you give me goose bumps,
And I hope, I hope it’s so,
That my twits and two’s will do for you to dance too under many moons to come
And if the journey’s rough and nature makes it tough for us to ride the waves
I’ll have faith,
And if the storm is freak in size and water leaks inside I’ll try to save us from the wind and rain,
And if this vessel is cast upon the rocks I’ll wrestle to fasten up the cracks,
To keep us in tact,
And if we’re doomed to fall into the blue I hope to hell there’s time for me, to sing to you,
That I hope, I hope you know,
I may be an owl but baby when you howl you give me goose bumps,
And I hope, I hope it’s so,
That wherever we go together, we can dance forever and ever beneath the moon

Them who
Never like to let a good mood sway
Never got the time to ruminate them sad truths
There’s enough on their plate
So they remove all of the blues and say
Nothing they can do about unscrupulous brutes
Ruthless shootings, demoestic abuse
Nor the- overuse of fossil fuels
So when they scroll through
They stick straight to the click bait of kittens
Sittin in silly positions
So they stay smitten in a life where hell hasn’t rise
But whilst they’re hiding it’s – rising
Citizens suffer at the hands of tyrants
Those that flee in boats capsize
Ocean seas increase in size
And hatred keeps feeding violence
We can’t be running for all our lives
No point in hiding with no place to hide
Don’t turn no blind eye don’t wait for your call
When we stand together we break down walls
An outta sight outta mind blind eye will not suffice
Not in this life
And whilst you ain’t fighting to survive
Like some folk on the other side
Yeah you been provided human rights that others are denied
Stifling in silence , staying quiet still conceives a price
And maybe you won’t pay that today
But for every face that sways the other way
Is laying out the pavement
For hostility and greed and hate
And when they finally reach your feet to see what they can take
Yeah they will start to seize your freedom never mind the screams you make
Sounds extreme but don’t you see
There’s a reasoning behind it
That’s why you cut it at the route before you’re tangled up inside it
So by all means keep them memes, them kitten vids and twitter feed
And feel free to swap your prose with emojis of an aubergine
But to you that can choose to lose the bad news well
Your privilege is big enough that you
Avoid the oppression, side step abuse
You could have been treading in another set of shoes
so don’t abstain cause it ain’t your place
use your status to rattle cages
Feel the anger, greet the rage
Engage and reach for better days
