Cigarette smoking

To hell with cigarette smoking
I am coughing like I am choking
Over-looking those approaching
To give me lectures and some coaching
On the possible side effects
That I know of already, like cancer
I am no idiot, just a helpless intellect

To the cigarette
I say you wanker
For turning my life around
Instead of letting me down
Now I constantly smell
Like a polluted well

This daily consumption
Is becoming a costly addiction
Make it a New Year resolution
Give up, give up
Before you take another drag
Of that audacious fag
Stop, think, and stop!

1st of December

You must remember
Tomorrow is the first of December
It is time to start thinking
Of your new year resolutions
Avoid unnecessary temptations
Prevention is better than finding solutions

Give up the cigarette
Forget the day you first met

Give to the poor
Not after but before

Greet the elderly
With respect very carefully

Think of positive change
It is always there at close range

Give up the booze
It only stinks of ooze

Set aside time to pray
Set aside time to play
If you have to
Why not change your ways

Tomorrow is the first of December
Remember, a new beginning
Is always the way forward to winning

I'm Sick Of It

I'm sick, sick, sick of cigarette addiction
I'm sick of movies and their dishonest depiction
That smoking is glamorous, sophisticated and cool
When what it really is is something that rules

The cigarette addict from morning to night
And all the hours in between, they can never take flight
From the constant nagging fear that they must inhale the fumes
Of a deadly poison that will lead them to their doom

A cigarette addict can barely do a thing
Without a cigarette, it's got them on a string
They have to smoke it now, it just cannot wait
And then, another and another, they've really taken the bait

A cigarette addict is as helpless as a lamb
On a frosty hillside with no mother to keep it warm
Their mind is so confused that they actually believe
A cigarette is their saviour, they are so deceived

(Sydney, Australia - 2003)

Don't give up hope

Don't give up hope
Don't give up hope
There is still a whole slew of scope in hope

I know how you feel
Your predicament is unpleasant and real
Before you crumble and stumble
Like a lone wolf in your solitary struggles
I hear the sadness in your tongue
Realize that your suffering will pass
Its duration may be long
Hang in there, be strong
I know the words to your plightful song
You are not where you wish to belong
But giving up hope is forever wrong
A flower never fumbles and gives up hope
While waiting for its daily water
Hope is all to it that matters

Don't give up hope
Don't give up hope
Clutch on tight to all ropes
There is still a whole slew of scope in hope

Give It Up

You come home late at night
You tell me its all right
But something must be wrong
I wanna hold you close
But your reaction shows
You keep me hanging on
Im tired of all your lies
Your silly alibies
Dont wanna play that game
If you dont know the rules
Ill send you back to school
You put a man to shame
Give it up, give it up
I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
I know Im not the only one, only one
Maybe youre the lonely one, lonely one
Give it up, give it up
I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
cause I know you bring me down, bring me down
The lover of my life
What happened to our plans
Weve got a one night stand
Youd better let it be
If theres another man
Ill do the best I can
To bring you back to me
Give it up, give it up
I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
I know Im not the only one, only one
Maybe youre the lonely one, lonely one
Give it up, give it up
I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
cause I know you bring me down, bring me down
The lover of my life
Give it up, give it up
I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
I know Im not the only one, only one
Maybe youre the lonely one, lonely one
Give it up, give it up
I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
cause I know you bring me down, bring me down
The lover of my life
Give it up, give it up
I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
I know Im not the only one, only one
Maybe youre the lonely one, lonely one
Give it up, give it up
I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
cause I know you bring me down, bring me down
The lover of my life

Loves true meaning!

Loves True Meaning
Take time to compromise
If you have to criticise
Choose words that are wise
Or you may have to pay a price

Indulge in patience
Try to experience
the good and the bad
and make reference
to everything without pretence

Show each other respect
Rather than detect and inspect
What you do not like
Your different ways
You must accept

There has to be an element of trust
telling lies is the worst
The truth always comes out eventually
and then you are bust

Love with a passion
Give it your all
Do not ration
Use your imagination
Spice it all up
Work your way from
the bottom to the top
And don't you ever stop!

You Can't Stop Rock 'N' Roll

Don't you give me no line
Better run if you can
Just like a thorn in the side
So don't give me no

Don't you give me no
Don't you give me no
Don't you give me no lies

You can't stop rock 'n' roll
You can't stop rock 'n' roll

Don't you play me no jive
A bit of fun on the side
Too much crap make you blind
So don't give me no

Don't you give me no
Don't you give me no
Don't you give me no whine

You can't stop rock 'n' roll
You can't stop rock 'n' roll
You can't stop rock 'n' roll
You can't stop rock 'n' roll

Shop, she shops!

Once she constantly smiled
Bought cloths and jewelry that gave her style

Shop, shop, shop
She shopped till she dropped
Shop, shop, shop
She just could not seem to stop

Her credit was on top
Her spending way rocket up
She paid with cash or credit card
This Lady was absolutely shopping mad
Shoping malls!
Markets stalls!
Shoes, clothing, and handbags she bought all year long
Spend, spend and spend daily was her beloved song

Shop, shop, shop
She now shops like a flop
Shop, shop, shop
This lady has now put a stop

Today is different shopping expedition
This time spending with supervision
No more that crazy spending addiction

Her credit card is cut
Her goods seized, the whole lot
Today she spends, her pockets hurt!

She has become street wise
Haggling with each price
She has become precise
About what she needs and not what is nice

Shop, shop, shop
She shops like a flop
Shop, shop, shop
Her spending has taken a big drop!
This lady has now put a stop to shop!

Your Trust

Your trust is what I desire
If you turn out to be a liar
like a raging fire
I will need seven daily weekly cures
Because there is only so much that I can endure

I will be your husband

For better or for worse
I will be your husband
But of you I quietly demand
Obedience and respect
I am the man of house
I am the man who's intellect

For a just cause
I will be your husband
I expect of you no fuss
When I have the last say
Of how we are to operate
each and everyday especially today

Opium Of People

One two three Your secresies
Watch how the idiots follow me
Running any way to get out of the way
Dig into the shock 'casue I'm staying the same
But I need some vowels, back it up
Fill your loves in amazing hearts
Tell me everythings gunna be alright
'Cause I don't think I'll make it throught the night
The only way
Is all the way
The only way
Is all the way
The only way (The only way)
Is all the way (Is all the way)
The only way (The only way)
Is all the way (Is all the way)
Oh, my, god it's
Jugdement day and i'm not prepared
Everybody out theres is really scared
So let's take a little bit off the top
I don't care just make it stop!
I won't give another soul (to you)
I won't give another life (to you)
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO STOP?!
STOP!
STOP!
STOP!
I do want you to say something cryptic
But the styles always clash
Well say I'm never sure
Hypathetical won't work anymore
One more move and they will pound
My nails, are driving inside my wrists
This sacrament, is sacralidge, it's sentimental
Diety it's experimental
Faith is accidental
I won't give another soul (to you)
I won't give another life (to you)
I won't give another thought (to you)
I won't give anymore of my hope (to you)

Give Up

(bernard edwards/nile rodgers)
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
You better listen well
When I tell you
To be on the look out
You cant call for help
cause I know you inside out
Despite all your hideouts
Im no great pretender
Ill make you surrender
So come along quietly
Heres a thought to remember
I have not met a man yet
To escape from my drag-net
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Ill give you just the facts man
And you can draw all your own conclusions
Ill keep your mind surrounded
With chains of love so strong
You cant break through them
My arsenal is stocked
With all kinds of seductive weapons
Although your hearts locked up
My love will assist me
So that you cant resist me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
No, no, no
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me
Give up, give up
Give up youre love to me

Happy New Year

Happy New Year
Find a new hobby
Find a new honey
Happy New Year

Quickly a year has come and gone
In blistery winter another year is born
First we celebrate as a nation
Champagne, wind and spectacular fireworks displays
Finally we contemplate on New Year resolutions

Happy New Year
Learn to eat healthy
Yearn to be wealthy
Happy New Year

Fiercely learn to walk before you run
This experience through the year is rather fun
With thirst set these principles in motion
Before you awaken the next day
With red jelly eyes from a hangover situation

Happy New Year
Give up the smart smoking
Forgive more and start joking
Happy New Year

Happy New Year
Obtain a skill, perhaps a university degree
Always remember nothing is ever for free
Happy New Year

In this festive season
Problems are precious gems
And there is an obvious reason
We learn critical lessons from them

Sweet Wine

Sweet wine
Lets feast and dine

Sweet wine
Tickle my taste buds
Sweet wine
Sharpen my senses
Make them finer than fine

Sweet wine
Red and white stay in line
Till I give you the sign
That you are mine

Life is Life

Sometimes I attempt to climb ladders
Sometimes I hold pee in my bladder
And there are days I feel exhausted
Almost like I have been combusted

But Life is Life
It doesn't really matter
It will carry on
You can spend it alone
You can share what you have sown
Or you can enjoy it all on your own

Sometimes I read the news
And it gives me chills rather than blues
That I have to give credit to those in poverty
Who embrace it peacefully with open honesty!

But Life is Life
It doesn't really matter
Wars will be lost, some will be won
And babies will continue to be born
Sometimes there is rain, sometimes sun
And some will inevitably die by the hands of a gun

Sometimes I am shy
And I don't know why?
Sometimes I am horny
And I weary my hair in a pony
The fashion magazines, the luxurious limousines
Make you want to take time out commit sin to win

Sometimes I awake feeling on top and up
And the good vibe goes on without a stop
Sometimes I can’t help feeling sloppy
As I try keeping awake from a coffee cup

But Life is Life
It doesn't really matter
Crawl, walk, run or hop
Life itself will never stop

The gun rules

Stop, Stop
Please don't pull the trigger
You think I don't understand, you fool
The gun rules

You can claim my land
I will understand
You think I care about the money
Dive as you need into my honey

For I know
The gun rules
and heads must bow

The gun rules
Say yes, not no

The gun rules
Powerful than fistful blows

The gun rules
Nice and slow

The gun rules
Its handler glows

The gun rules
lay down, lie low

The gun rules
as red blood flows

You think I do not know the difference
between the gun, arrow and the bow
You sit like an angry king on your throne
ordering the rolling of heads and bones
This is the time of the gun
This is its timezone

Stop, Stop
Please don't pull the trigger
Lose not your cool, you fool

The guns rules
The perfect master of disguise
I have been to school and I am wise
A life in one piece
Is worth more
Than the risk of hit and miss
So all I ask of you is to let me go

Stop

Yes its true that I believe
Im weaker than I used to be
I wear my heart out on my sleeve
And I forget the rest of me
Yes theres times Ive been afraid
And theres no harm in that I pray
Cuz Im more frightened everyday
Someone will take the hope I have away
But you gotta give it up
To get off sometimes
You gotta give it up
To get off sometimes
You gotta give it up
To get off sometimes I know
But you gotta give it up
To get off sometimes
You gotta give it up
To get off sometimes
You gotta give it up
To get off sometimes I know
All the times Ive given in
You fit me like a second skin
And one by one I will begin
To wear you on the days Im feeling thin
But you gotta give it up
To get off sometimes
You gotta give it up
To get off sometimes
You gotta give it up
To get off sometimes I know
But you gotta give it up
To get off sometimes
You gotta give it up
To get off sometimes
You gotta give it up
To get off sometimes I know
Youd better stop, stop, stop
Using me up
Youd better stop
Cuz Ive had enough
And Im ready to forget the reasons
That keep me here
Youd better stop, stop, stop
Using me up
Youd better stop
Cuz Ive had enough
And Im ready to forget the reasons
That keep me here

Vanishing Dreams

Hold on tight
Shed some light
Wet your apetite
Do not let them slip away
Or they start to lose their colour
day by day, year by year
Right into thin air

There you stand
You seem to have forgotten
Once when you were a little boy
Building castles of dreams with joy

There you now stand
You front, inspired by fustration
Surrounded by countless restrictions

Vanishing Dreams
Fading away quietly into empty streams

It is easy to give in without a bother
Lose your freedom in a common fashioned order
While your dreams vanish one after the other
Our sons and daughters
are still cradling them
Nurturing their stems
On their own conditions and terms

So hold on tight
Wet your apetite
Make your dreams come true
While there is still light
