'Neath the Barrow

'Neath the barrow

Lost boy dead

All that fame

Went straight to his head

Silver platter

Golden pews

Greatest ever was?

Paparazzi news

Heart is willing

Flesh is weak

Sixteenth century blues

Never speak

Enigmatic whispers

All you know of me

Kings and queens

Death and war

Lots of silly poetry

I didn't make the world

Love, I only scanned it

Once a time

I met this girl

Pent up iambic

My One

So tired now

More than I've ever been

So hopeful

More than ever seen

London's jazzman is evergreen

Ba-dum tish

'Neath the barrow

The lost girl lives

Am I the only one

With fucks to give?

Centred in darkness

Screaming for light

All of this dreaming

Went straight to her sight

My Star

A thousand glow

Twinned hearts

Arousing slow

"Just let me go

It fucking hurts.

But they brought me back

To build a church."

That little miracle

That long, long mile

But I never really gave a damn

About guile

My One
