You’ve Got A Friend

When you feel your people are being unfair
When you’ve sunk into the depths of despair
There is no hope in sight, and no way out
All you seem to do is scream and shout
When you’re finally at your wit’s end
Call me – you’ve got a friend.

Love And War

Through the ages men have fought each other
Worthless causes have pitted brother against brother
Politics, trade, boundary lines, religion
All have claimed lives by the million;
I’m brave as the next man – I’ve got bottle
For what I believe in I’ll gladly do battle
I believe in my love for you and your love for me
Conquering your heart is my greatest victory.

Thicker Than A Paddy

I will kill you
So that I can live
I will take your life
So that I can have a better life

Personal satisfaction
The desire of every creature
Self – preservation
The first law of Nature

Plant the bomb
And walk away
You fight to kill them
To live another day

Now here is the jest
To make your jaw drop
Paddy never wore a vest
Paki blows HIMSELF up.

Terror

We’ve done it, we’ve pulled it off
They fell for it without a murmur
They swallowed it hook, line and sinker
We’ve gotten away with murder

No one asked why when we told the Big Lie
“The terrorist was cooking up a curry and rice bomb”
The mixture in every kitchen is pie in the sky
“We foiled the plot by shooting the vindaloo bum”

Not a question asked, not a doubt raised
No one bothered to look past the smokescreen
Our security forces were all highly praised
Hand on heart, singing, “More profit to the Queen”

Our Media will sugar-coat the pill
Our way of life is preserved
The little pigs will eat this swill
The Paki got what he deserved.

I Stand Before You

From the countless herd only a few can manage
I stand before you
If you made me in your own image
I stand before you
My life’s work has been to pay homage
I stand before you
I have forged myself in your image
I stand before you
You set the mark and I rose to the challenge
I stand before you
Acknowledge the effort – pay me homage
I stand before you.

Key Facts About Bill

He was a writer of rare genius
He wrote thirty-seven plays
And one hundred and fifty-four sonnets

He was gay
He was not from Stratford-upon-Avon
‘William Shakespeare’ was a pseudonym

The world may be a stage, and Life a mocking jest
But after Time has put your Work to the test
Who really gives a toss about all the rest?!
