Romeos? I Hear They Died In The 50's

Romeo, Romeo, where for art thee Romeos?
I hear they all died after 1950

Oh yes Romance is very much so dead
Died along with Romeo in fact
A lovely run it did have, shame to see it go
Emptiness is victorious when we fail to act

But then what about the Juliette’s
Where’d the pretty dresses and smiles go?
Exchanged for an attitude and a punch
Wrapped, alas, without even a bow

So let us all watch the television shows
And see all the emotions we cannot show
Reminisce about a time
We f*cked up so very long ago

Drunken Ramblings..... Again

Shivering mountains
Lone star trees
Maids of the dead
Home isn’t free

The royal wedding a waste?
Gave us moral, to be fair

Hating all she is and now and all she ever were
Watching though my bitter eyes
The excitement growing till’ I finally get my hands on her

She waits as a lady of the dark cold night
She gives away the last of her innocence for a few quid
Servicing the lonely, the grumpy, the ugly n’ all
Her only escape is a shot to her vein, her arm, the mid

I stroll over to the unfortunate hapless lass
Ask for a quick rumble and hand her the cash

I’m breaking out in sweat now, too much to handle
Find a darkened corner, I need to rid of his itch and blow out the candle
