Grimm
You close your eyes
And say a prayer
The sky is grey
There's no one there
You make a wish
And click your heels
You know the rest
And how it feels
You're gonna sink
You cannot swim
The future's here
The future's Grimm
You take a chance
for which you'll pay
You flip a coin
It floats away
You spread your wings
You'll never learn
You're flying high
You crash and burn
It's just a matter of trust
Cos people like us
We don't get to choose
You need to remember
We'll never surrender
and we didn't come here to lose
You're gonna sink
You learn to swim
The future's here
The future's Grimm
You shake your head
and walk away
You live to fight
Another day
You reach the shore
and in the sand
a crown, a torch
an outstretched hand

Ashley Madison
Angus made a dawn escape from Aberdeen
Penny travelled all the way from Devon
For the purpose of a one night stand
That didn't go as either planned
where M6 intersects A57
Malcolm got the 8:15 from Manchester
Mary melts away from Milton Keynes
She packed away her wedding ring
and said "I'm up for anything"
And now she knows what necromancing means
There's nothing quite as sad as an
Affair with Ashley Madison
Premier inn or Travelodge
You'll long to get back into Dodge
The shame is not compulsory
your first stab at adultery
pricked your conscience more than anything else
Elizabeth is a game old bird from Buckingham
Cliff's a pasty, portly chap from Dover
His profile is a pack of lies
with a selfie his Ma wouldn't recognise
they'll both be quite relieved when it's all over
Bob's the Casanova of the Yorkshire Dales
He only booked the hotel for an hour
Debbie's doing Bicester
while her husband does her sister
and they'll all be doing their crying in the shower
Marriott or Radisson?
check-out Ashley Madison
We do our bit when booty calls
To help you empty and lose your balls
you won't call me a cynic
when you're sat outside the clinic
with an itch that you don't wish
to scratch

Busman's Holiday

Busmans Holiday
You can telephone the helpline
where no-one takes your call
make a generous donation
if you have the wherewithal
The legal team is all tooled up
the PR firm engages
in another fight for hearts and minds
and the sympathy of strangers
Out of season early May
On a Busmans Holiday
You're just helping with enquiries
above investigation
but reasons why and alibis
get lost in the translation
Sirens started screaming
cameras started flashing
statements being taken
and faces turning ashen
Out of season early May
On a Busmans Holiday
But they'll never close the case
until someone can explain
the feeling something's missing
and the empty seat on the plane

Not Without A Fight
You say it's tough
and I reckon it isn't tough enough
You say it's hard
Think of this as a "thanks for trying" card
You say it's not "fair"
Can't win a goldfish anywhere
You say it's lame
Unless you got someone else to blame
You've lost your appetite
Won't even take a bite
It looks like this could take all night
You'll never get it right
You'll never see the light
You won't give up without a fight
You say that you know
And I say "I don't think so"
You say it's a fact
No way will these opposites attract
You say "just wait"
I reckon you're already too late
You say "no way"
You fixin' to die another day?
And if you can't understand us
you're gonna keep hitting the canvas...
You say that it's fine
And I disrespectfully decline
You say what you see
And I'll probably have to disagree
You say it's yours
I reckon your argument has flaws
You say it's cool
At the shallow end of the gene pool
You've lost your appetite
won't even take a bite
It looks like this could take all night
You'll never get it right
You'll never see the light
You won't give up without a fight

Sometimes Blue, Mostly Black
I carved our names in quicksand
You've left me up on bricks and
You're up to your old tricks and
what can I do?
I know that by tomorrow
You'll have shaken off your sorrow
and be shaping up to swallow
Someone new
And I can't find a way
And I can't make you see
I can't make it back
To where I want to be
Cos it's gone
And it won't come back
So It's sometimes blue
but it's mostly black
It'll always be there
In the back of your mind
Ready to wreck
Whatever you find
First you said believe me
You're never going to leave me
You made it look so easy
Then you packed
No sooner did I find you
Then you'd put it all behind you
You're too cruel to be the kind who'd
Want me back
Now I curse the day I met you
Desperate to forget you
I don't know why I let you
Let me down
And the smile upon your face meant
You'd picked up my replacement
From the Nightclub bargain basement
Over town

Honeymoon At Home
I’ve been so lonely for so long
It never crossed my mind I was wrong
You know all too well what a fool I can be
And no one can save you from me
A love I never thought I'd find
Some might say I’m losing my mind
It’s perfectly clear I have nothing left to give
But I'll love you as long as I live
But I'm just a man
And I've made mistakes
I'm going to make it up to you
No matter what it takes
I'd have given you the world
London, Paris, Rome
But for now, we'll have our honeymoon at home
Maybe you'll help me settle down
We'll sneak off to some picture postcard town
Spend our days in autumn's haze off the beaten track
Promising we're never looking back
Let's lock the door
Pull down the blind
Sit down here beside me
We'll leave the world behind
The vows are exchanged
And our fates are entwined
The capsule is yours
And the bullet is mine

Enemy request
I've been checking up on you
and I don't like what you do
And I am baffled by your dip shit point of view
I've been deeply unimpressed
You failed each and every test
I'll be sending you an enemy request
Scroll along where you belong
Where you never take a hit
Where you got a taste for copy and pasting
Someone else's shit
I've been checking up on you
and I don't like what you do
And I am baffled by your dip shit point of view
Scroll along where you belong
Where you never take a hit
Where you got a taste for copy and pasting
Someone else's shit
I've been checking up on you
and I don't like what you do
And I am baffled by your dip shit point of view
If there's someone I detest
Then I like to keep abreast
of their failures…here's an enemy request
I can LOL at their distress
And they never would have guessed
I'd be sending them an enemy request

The Out Crowd
You want us when there's work to be done
You want us when there's songs to be sung
You want us when you get up to dance
You want us when you haven't a chance
You want us for someone to hate
You want us and you don't want to wait
You want us for someone to fear
And then you want us to disappear
I'm in with the out crowd baby
I go where the out crowd go
I'm in with the out crowd baby
And I know what the out crowd know
You want us for someone to use
Make us an offer we cannot refuse
You want us when there's something to build
You want us to kill and be killed
I'm in with the out crowd baby
I go where the out crowd go
I'm in with the out crowd baby
And I know what the out crowd know
I'm in with the out crowd baby
I see what the out crowd see
I'm in with the out crowd baby
And I'm free when the out crowd are free

Same Circus, Different Clown
We don't get involved
in our own affairs
We're like lions who are
frightened of chairs
And we all wear a frown
when they roll into town
It's the Same Circus, Different Clown
And they twist and turn
like acrobats
But there's no one pulling
rabbits out of hats
They feed us with lies and then custard pies
It's the Same Circus, Different Clown
And we must perform
Or they might forget
to provide us with
some kind of safety net
And we all wear a frown
when they roll into town
It's the Same Circus, Different Clown
And they twist and turn
like acrobats
But there's no one pulling
rabbits out of hats
They feed us with lies and then custard pies
It's the Same Circus, Different Clown
We don't hold out breath
and we bite our lip
and we dance when
the man cracks the whip
And we all wear a frown
when they roll into town
It's the Same Circus, Different Clown

Stand down
Those who met me
they won't forget me
but you’ve got to let me go
understand
I've done all I can
I'm winding up the show
Stand Down
Don't be sorry
there’s a bigger story
and now we know their game
I don't feel danger
got one in the chamber
they can't even say my name
Stand down
It's true
Stand down
I’m gonna stand down too.
Leave it all behind me
let the sheriff find me
and don't touch a single thing
there'll be some crying
and rumours flying
and then the birds can sing
Stand down
It's true
Stand down
I’m gonna stand down too.
In memory of Michael C Ruppert
