about

Recorded around 1981 in Putney

lyrics

Life teases me
And again it pleases me
Content to be
Discontent
In this way my life is spent

The poet’s progress is very slow
Word by word he must go
Line by line
He writes in rhyme
Or didn’t you know?

Not a good day today
His words wouldn’t come out to play
Not a good day today
His words wouldn’t come out to play

Time and time again
Through water and the flame
In beauty and in pain
The way it changes, but remains the same
I laugh I cry
I hope to know
The sky above the earth below
Something inside, a love that doesn’t show
On and on and on and on we go
With no end in sight
Living in the day
And dying in the night

Not a good day today
His words wouldn’t come out to play
Not a good day today
His words wouldn’t come out to play

With lies and eyes
I look for truth
I’m looking for you

With lies and eyes
I look for truth
I’m looking for you
