Westerns
Sneaking into Westerns
In next the town
Is the worst crime
They could pin on you
Creep home
Behind the hedgerows
Coins still in purse and
A leaking shoe
Your cast off
Three speed's
Primed and ready
For the weekend
With no bell
A chain that slips
Means freedom
When you've finished your shifts
Contrasts of the light and darkness
Guided home by electric light star charts
Off and push up the steepest inclines
Gliding home riding the ice down
Leave the leek shows behind
Stop kicking the football
Ride out where you can swim
Just under the waterfall
You swear shift work takes years off
But this'll add some months back
A kingfisher spotted stops
Your Shakespeare recital short
Sonnets and poems learnt
Meant nothing at work
When the roof caved in
Pinned
Reliving your mild sins
Dragging out by seven men
Severed chest
Forever blest
Two days' rest
Is all you get
But you reset
And feel a debt
Contrasts of the light and darkness
Guided home by electric light star charts
Off and push up the steepest inclines
Gliding home riding the ice down
Just to sit in the sun
Squinting
Never one for driving
Or drinking
A sheltered existence
Though broke someone's ribs once
It was self defence
From a knuckle dustered assailant
I never wrote your stories down
Thought I knew them my heart
But I'd been tuning out
I never wrote your stories down
Thought I knew them my heart
But I'd been tuning out
I never wrote your stories down
Thought I knew them my heart
But I'd been tuning out
I never wrote your stories down
Thought I knew them my heart
But I'd been tuning out
In next the town
Is the worst crime
They could pin on you
Creep home
Behind the hedgerows
Coins still in purse and
A leaking shoe
Your cast off
Three speed's
Primed and ready
For the weekend
With no bell
A chain that slips
Means freedom
When you've finished your shifts
Contrasts of the light and darkness
Guided home by electric light star charts
Off and push up the steepest inclines
Gliding home riding the ice down
Leave the leek shows behind
Stop kicking the football
Ride out where you can swim
Just under the waterfall
You swear shift work takes years off
But this'll add some months back
A kingfisher spotted stops
Your Shakespeare recital short
Sonnets and poems learnt
Meant nothing at work
When the roof caved in
Pinned
Reliving your mild sins
Dragging out by seven men
Severed chest
Forever blest
Two days' rest
Is all you get
But you reset
And feel a debt
Contrasts of the light and darkness
Guided home by electric light star charts
Off and push up the steepest inclines
Gliding home riding the ice down
Just to sit in the sun
Squinting
Never one for driving
Or drinking
A sheltered existence
Though broke someone's ribs once
It was self defence
From a knuckle dustered assailant
I never wrote your stories down
Thought I knew them my heart
But I'd been tuning out
I never wrote your stories down
Thought I knew them my heart
But I'd been tuning out
I never wrote your stories down
Thought I knew them my heart
But I'd been tuning out
I never wrote your stories down
Thought I knew them my heart
But I'd been tuning out
