El Fugitivö

I can’t warm up And I can’t cool down The last six months  have turned  me upside down

There can be no light without darkness No laughter without tears No love without loss And no safety without fears No smiles without frowns And no truth without lies No depth without shallows No shadows without blue skies No rainbow without the rain No warmth without the sun No happiness without you No freedom without a gun

I can’t see her family Or take the kids on a getaway Work’s down to a couple of emails flicked out at midday I’ll treat the lockdown as my personal holiday

So it’s farewell to the Geezer Farewell my faithful friend You stuck with me through it all  But you turned on me in the end

At every dawn and every dimming They demand us to come to the fray Commands bestowed by angels Explained by those that obey Logic that knows no reason Rules that know of no truth Stories passed down through the ages By those that knew of no youth

Oh it’s time to go and I’m all packed up And I can’t see the wood for the trees But the girls around aren’t happy with my plan to leave

I am not a humanist.  That we are in control is an illusion  brought on by the morphine drip of everyday life True beauty in this world is nothing to do with us Think. We are done for. 

You like to use them great big words You like to make it fancy You’d like for us all to be upon our bended knee

First he comes bearing amazing news Of a world you can barely believe Where all live in bliss and happiness And it’s easy just so easy They’re just lies, they’re just lies

If I were a sailor Like my grandpa Joe I’d sail the ocean winds And to the whole world go
