When it started I thought the spot was just a bite
Then more joined up I knew something wasnt right
Next my skin began to pain, ache, and kind of tingle
The On call doctor said you have got shingles

After She Made It to the News papers life was never same again
people recognised her as a POET, it became a blooming pain
In Tesco everyone would look, in the chemist they would wink
Being a famous Poet was harder than anyone would think

Johnny stood besides his brother
crying Tommy look after mother,
He was going to fight a bloody war
tears fell as he walked out the door

The menopause arrives with out warning
Childbearing days over as day is dawning
Hot flushes, tears sheer unease
HRT patches work for me please

We say we are twin sisters separated before birth, my sister dot and me
We seem to do and think the same each day, unbelievably
One of us has an idea, The other carries it out
Twins separated before birth that's what we two are about

My crystal I hold you in my hand
Take me to a far away land
here on earth or up in space,
Take me to a far away place

It was a really lovely tree
Roots deep spread underground
Its beauty made the people smile
They came to see it from miles around
...

Hello I am still here

My mother used to visit a medium
A lovely old dear

Two angels in a sat bar one night
Thinking something's wrong, it isn't right
its like a silence has fallen over the earth
no one needs saving no deaths or births
...

People say its lovely, picture postcard looks
In reality picture postcards are better off in books
I have never liked the white stuff, or slippery ice
Something about its dangers tell me its not nice

She woke up dead, yes dead in her heart
She thought they would never ever part
The Wicked man of stone ruined her life
Why did he ask her to be his wife
...

I have big dark floaters in my eyes interfering with my vision
the optician said its old age, from which there's no remission
I remember when I was twenty I could see for miles ahead
Now these eyes are not like mine, imposter's in my head
...

Oh Bangladesh I loved you and the Bay Of Bengal
my dream was to visit but my children where small
To fish in Noakhali, then lay all day in the sun
My true love said that life there was so much fun
...

I am a mannequin fashion me today
bend me shape me any way
Make me look like your woman

I have never won the lottery
but if I ever did I'd buy
A lovely little run a round car
something pleasing to my eye

You say that you love me, yet you still hold a grudge
I have tried every trick to erase it, still it wont budge
I told you I was sorry john time and time again
I would never have hurt you or caused you pain
...

She wanted to be a star, Well known near and afar
Someone posh in a Brand new car
She wanted to be a star, Her fave in glossy mags
dressed so fine, not in rags
...

Last night as I lay thinking, you sneaked into my head
I tried to turn you off from thoughts, but you stayed instead
you made me remember valentines nights from long ago
Me and you out for the night, kissing dancing slow
...

My friend got abducted by aliens, they took her in their ship
The beamed her with a magic torch, it made her kip
She woke up quite Drowsy, No idea what they had done
One said in broken English 'Boy that was fun'
