In The Book That I’m Reading
In the book that I’m reading
The pages are filled with lives I’ll not live
And each one reminds me of all of my failings
Of all that I take and all I can’t give
Out in Brockwell park
I walk around
But always end up
Right back where I started
I’d rather be
I’d rather be
I’d rather be
In the book that I’m reading
In the book that I’m reading
And I’m so sorry now
I wonder why
I only seem to
Let myself down
I’d rather be
I’d rather be
I’d rather be
In the book that I’m reading
In the book that I’m reading
In the book that I’m reading
I fill all the pages with things that I’ve found
A story I read in yesterday’s paper
The leaves from the park that I pick off the ground
I’m not lonely now
I’ve realised
Life would go on
Without me around
But all I need
All I need
All I need's
In the book that I’m reading
In the book that I’m reading
In the book that I’m reading
In the book that I’m reading

In My Garden, Flowers Grow
My flowers grow
Outside, all woven
In the earth below
I say
Let the seasons have their way
Let autumn follow summer
For after winter, spring will come again
I loved a girl
She came in spring
I made my garden for her
I’ve stayed
I cannot go away
And now we’re in our winter
I bring her flowers every day

Raymond's Perfect World

Raymond’s Perfect World
Raymond made just for himself
A tiny perfect world
Because if things aren’t quite perfect
It’s no good for Raymond’s nerves
Raymond dresses smartly
He’s not happy if he’s not
His wardrobe’s full of pastel shirts
And matching pastel socks
All the while, a thought is gnawing
It’s all a little overwhelming
He’s ok though
Raymond’s perfect world!
Raymond’s perfect world!
And inside Raymond’s little house
Clocks tick before they tock
If he hears one tocking first
He has to make it stop
All the while, a thought is gnawing
It’s all a little overwhelming
He’s ok though
Raymond is ok though
Raymond is ok though
Raymond is ok though
Raymond is ok though
Raymond invents routines so he can get along
It helps him to forget that everything is wrong
Raymond’s perfect world!

Margate Sands

Margate Sands
I went out walking
Across Margate Sands
I walked until the sea met with the land
And while I was walking
I started thinking of all the things
I’d done, walking alone on Margate Sands
I thought about Christine
Of the whole carry on
Of things long past, of where the time’s all gone
Now I’m old and I’m tired
I’m sick and half lame
I wonder if I should see her again
The sea comes in
And out again
I tell myself
That nothing’s changed

Those Unfortunates London, UK
Those Unfortunates are a London, UK based four piece.
They sound harder than they sound.
Those Unfortunates recommends:
Firestations' second album is a thing of beauty- it's all wonderful but side two takes us to a woozy place few records can.
