Ship of Fools
by Mark Graham
Ship of fools on an empty sea
In a circle endlessly
Sea of sameness, same again
All the same, again, again.
Round and round and round forever
Repeating loops that twine together
All the strands that bind and tie
All the lies that rise and fly.
Round and round and round forever
Repeating loops that twine together
All the strands that bind and tie
All the lies that rise and fly.
Ship of fools on an empty sea
In a circle endlessly
Sea of sameness, same again
All the same, again, again.
We are so blind we cannot see
We are not slaves, we are not free
Ship of fools on an empty sea
In a circle endlessly
We are so blind we cannot see
We are not slaves, we are not free
Ship of fools on an empty sea
In a circle endlessly
Sea of sameness, same again
All the same, again, again.
Ship of fools on an empty sea
In a circle endlessly
Sea of sameness, same again
All the same, again, again.
We are so blind we cannot see
We are not slaves, we are not free

Suz
by Mark Graham and Mark Drury.
No-one is queuing now to get into the church,
There's no-one here there's only me left standing in the lurch,
Help me I'm falling out of love with you,
Once again.
Many things you’ve said to me and many times you tried,
To show me who you really were, the secrets deep inside,
Your absence spells out the danger that I'm in,
Once again.
Empty churches, broken dreams, a love replaced by hate,
Tangled webs of hollow lives and futures trashed by fate,
Going round in circles on a never-ending wheel,
Once again.
Standing alone now I see what I’ve become,
Watching my life pass me by, a victim of all you have said and done
Watch me falling
Once again.
As I turn to walk away a light catches my eye,
Small shards of a memory; a life that’s passed me by,
Who is this person I call to in vain,
Once again?

I Love My Radio
by Mark Graham
I love my radio
Switch it on
Off I go
I love my radio
Turns me on
All night long
Out on the open road
Music on
Overload
Open top. Open road
Radio
My head explodes
Now in the afterglow
Nothing else
Radio

Limoncello Fellow
by Dawn Burford
Beware of charming strangers
It'll end in floods of tears
Don't dare to dream of love after all these years
Met this fellow with sparkling eyes
Charming smile denies he ever lies
Met this fellow master of disguise
Be wary my friend don't fratenise
Limoncello fellow breathing on my skin
Made my soul sigh, how did this begin?
Saw this fellow bouncing down the street
Confidently striding with happy feet
Loved this fellow can hurt with just his eyes
Bruised my mind not really a surprise
Limoncello fellow breathing on my skin
Made my soul sigh, how did this begin?
Limoncello fellow breathing on my ski
Made my soul sigh, how did this begin?
Limoncello fellow now the story ends
Forever and always coffee just as friends.

Walk Away
by Mark Graham and Mark Drury
Walking down the street today
I passed a girl and I looked away,
I looked away.
I can't yet face another's smile,
They tell me it may take a while,
That's what they say.
The loneliness and inner fear
Belongs to you and me my dear,
Why can't you stay?
But I remember when.
Oh, I remember then.
Sundays make me think of you,
The simple things we used to do;
Now memories.
Now I can't even walk this street.
Without you life is incomplete,
I'm on my knees.
Why can't I meet this young girl's eye?
For fear that she'll just walk on by
And leave me here.
But I remember when.
Oh, I remember then.
