Unlucky Girl

My time has run out

He’s moved oon to someone new

He didn’t look back

That was my cue

 

Chorus

I’ll never stop hoping

That you’ll change your mind

Nover stop dreaming

But life’s not that kind

 

Trying to move on

My heart strings pull tighter

Loves heavey load

Ain’t getting any lighter

 

Searching for something

Something I don’t know

Which way to turn

Which way to go

Thunder and Lightening

Walking hand in hand

My heart skips a beat

I can feel your hearfelt pulse

The world at my feet

 

Chorus

You crashed into my lonely life

Thunder and Lightening

Love at first sight

This moment frightening

 

Your fingers though my hair

Our lips touch light

Together as one

The embrace feels right

 

I’ve opened my heart

I’ve let you in

If loves against the law

Then I’ve committed a sin

Moving On

Trying to convince myself

This is easy to do

My mind thinking thoughts

That all come back to you

 

Chorus

Everywhere I go

Everything I do

Everyone I see

Just reminds me of you

 

Crying doesn’t help

Makes things worse

Have I been struck

By a simple love curse

 

Thought I saw you

Just the other day

Didn’t know what to do

Didn’t know what to say

Eyes for another

I can’t even explain

So I won’t begin to try

This feeling inside

When someone else catches your eye

 

I’ve given you my all

But you don’t see me

What will it take

To set these loving feelings free

 

You saw someone else

Who caught you roaming eye

We have our friendship

And I won’t continue to try

 

Life can cruel

I was told by my mother

I’ll keep searching

As you have eyes for another

A Lost Friend

An argument out of control

Words said with no real goal

Not backing down, nose out of joint

Misused words with no real point

 

Best friends with nothing to hide

Slowly hurting our dented pride

Words said that we now regret

An argument started, one to forget

 

Turning back the ticking clock

We used to joke, we used to mock

Laughter not returning to our face

Friendship lost that we can’t replace

Keep Running

I keep running away from you

From the feeling of pain

You know you what you did

And it’s driving me insane

 

I keep running to hide my tears

Frightened that someone will see

The internal anguish

I just want to be free

 

I keep running to the unknown

Hoping to change my life

Forget all the past

All the trouble and all the strife

 

I keep running out of my mind

Trying to move on

Slowly moving forward

Won’t be happy until you’re gone

A Soldier’s Distant Love

I know you made the choice

We knew it would be hard

But how I long to hear your voice

A phone call you are barred

 

How I miss the simple things

Like walking hand in hand

Pulling on my heart strings

Know one understands

 

A letter through the post

Is all that I receive

Two weeks seems longer than most

Your love is all I need

 

Fighting for our freedoms

Is a job you have to do

Fighting against the demons

A penance they are due

 

I want you back here and now

Is my selfishness wrong?

If there is an easy way, how?

My love will forever be strong

Sun Records

I couldn’t believe I was standing

In the spot were you once stood

I couldn’t believe I sat at the piano

My god it felt so good

 

The décor reeked of success

From the stars that continue to pass through

Legends of the music world

Some old and some very new

 

I can’t begin to imagine

The fun you all must have had

So much talent in one small room

And ‘The Million Dollar Quartet’ wasn’t bad

 

Chills sent down my spine

As I grabbed the microphone

I felt I was living the impossible dream

In some previous twilight zone

 

I thanked my lucky stars

As I left that special place

Visiting a piece of music history

And a smile across my face

Thinking of Others

As winter approaches and Christmas draws near

Some people have no-one they have lost their cheer

A helping hand can be all that they need

Make someone happy and do that good deed

 

(Chorus)

Thinking of others at this Christmas time

Playing games with strangers, singing festival Rhymes

The community working giving all that they can

Bringing together every woman and man

Thinking of others this wonderful Christmas time

 

A little boy at school who doesn’t believe in Santa Clause

Never given a present, there’s been a greater cause

Like having hot water, and food on the table

Doesn’t know the story about the baby and the stable

 

Everyone let’s celebrate and show people that we care

Make sure everyone’s involved let’s have no-one spare

Take someone’s hand and show they’re not all alone

Make someone’s day and call them on the phone

 

It’s not what you buy or it’s not what you receive

It’s about helping others, those that are in need

Trying to survive day after day

Hoping to provide this Christmas Day

 

Chorus

(Repeat with Children’s Choir?)

Mr Gascoigne

Growing up watching football

You played the game with style

Laughing and joking on the field

Beating opponents with your guile

 

You were England’s greatest hope

Famously crying during the world cup

Lineker saying ‘Have a word’

Please Mr Gascoigne don’t give up

 

On more than one occasion

You lit up the football world stage

Dazzling opponents with your skills

Leaving them full of rage

 

And now your biggest challenge

One that you have faced before

But this time will be different

A different game with a different score

 

I don’t know the pain you are in

Or claim to be a friend from the past

You must seek help from somebody

Or this chance could be your last

 

I cried when I saw your face

Headlining the news once more

Your body a sign of your former self

For your riches you looked so poor

 

Please seek help Mr Gascoigne

And pass this challenging test

To me you will always be a hero

Like the late great Georgie Best

Depression

The public face we want the world to see
Making us laugh for no extra fee
Tears of joy when we see your face
A hole in our lives that no one can replace

 

Why is this illness such a taboo?
It could happen to anyone, including me and you
Starting off as a low point, getting worse by the day

For all of our highs is this the price we pay?

 

A situation we can’t escape, there is no end
Sometimes all you need is a conversation with a friend
An olive branch to offer or a helping hand
A short step away from more sinking sand
A situation we can’t escape, there is no end

Sometimes all you need is a conversation with a friend

An olive branch to offer or a helping hand

A short step away from more sinking sand

 

Depression can happen to people who are quiet or loud

Someone in the shadows or standing out in the crowd

Be aware of this illness and don’t judge too soon

Goodbye Mork, enjoy your trip past the moon

Good Days Bad Days

Do you really know me?

What do you see?

Do you see the pain

That’s hidden within me?

 

When I have good days

I’m on cloud nine

Laughing and joking

My depression in line

 

But then dark clouds

I’m in a bad place

Hiding away from the crowd

Not showing my face

 

Out in the street

Everyone’s best friend

But I’m fighting the demons

Not knowing the end

 

I make excuses

Say I’m busy right now

Want to defeat it

But don’t know how
