My Medals
I die over my medals, which make my nose run,
For the tears I tried to suppress, but no use,
Both hands can not cope with any old illness,
The way of death, and the ways of heaven.
One dies of combat and the wound is heavy
That tears flow on the colours of the rainbow -
Some tears are red blood, while others transparent like water.
The fragments of the war are like any spoils,
But the best spoils come from the head and heart,
It is death and its accompaniment,
Just how to feed the dead.
I die over my medals, which may produce the tears.

Its You
(clarke / hicks / nash)
Dont raise your voice to me
And dont be unkind
Im just a foolish man
Who doesnt know his mind
There is a reason
I dont love you like I should
And its you
Yes, its you
Oh its you
Try understanding
Im a simple man at heart
The way you carry on
I think well drift apart
I cant afford to live
The way you want us to
So, its you
Yes, its you
Oh, its you
Why cant I love you
Why cant I love you
Cause Im not the kind of man you are looking for
If everything is wrong
Well go our separate way
Youll have to find a man
Who does just what you say
To break up is a shame
It spoils the chance we had
But its you
Yes, its you
Oh, its you
Why cant I love you
Why cant I love you
Cause Im not the kind of man you are looking for
If everything is wrong
Well go our separate way
Youll have to find a man
Who does just what you say
To break up is a shame
It spoils the chance we had
But its you
Yes, its you
Oh, its you

Too much spoils and too little is not enough.
Difficult To Quit If One Is Wishing They Could
Accustomed to being good,
It spoils the anticpation.
The first time in the getting of it,
Is the best remembered.
And from there and when repeated,
The expectation is just to get that fix.
With a quieting done that comes to one,
Addicted to a habit and getting it quick.
Satisfying a habit gratified automatically,
Is difficult to quit if one is wishing they could.
With a quieting done that comes to one,
Addicted to a habit and getting it quick.
And from there and when repeated,
The expectation is just to get that fix.
The first time in the getting of it,
Is the best remembered.
Accustomed to being good,
It spoils the anticpation.
