Sometimes you set the bar too high.
So in keeping with a theme I decided to just write down what came to my head at 3am, and after changing, structuring and adding; I came up with something I really like...have a read:
Shooters at dawn (copyright Michael Bartrum!)
Words being shouted and creating new sentences before my eyes. dazzling lights that seem to hypnotise,
"Suprise, my dear, but we're only here in this moment, and you live in a future that isn't yours ."
It's my first chance in the last chance saloon and soon I'll find my feet, as we drink to the heroes and the whores on the street.
Soak it up before last orders and smoke it up before this borders on excessive elegance, a shimmering protest on sobriety.
I'm not here to fight but I fight for what I believe, and maybe I would've remembered what you said; if that night she hadn't been wearing red and the liquor gone to my head...
Tonight there's no distractions, boys hand over your guns and act like you were John Wayne, raised by the nuns..
A lazy eye tells a story better but a tongue this sharp keeps our glasses wetter and if it upset her then appologise,
But her eyes tell you more than her mouth is letting on, so for this song the time stands still, and the glasses fill..
A toast to the ones who walk into the sunset, hit it once more for those crawling at sunrise,
An exquisite disguise that lady luck wears and as you dance with her closely, it's as if nobody cares;
"We may not live forever and one day this will end, but while we're in this moment...we can still pretend."
I'm not even gonna mention the football...nope!
Greenday tribute on friday was fun! Keller after was intersting...I need a job.
