Preface

 

This is the best of my dark poetry, six books in all, written during the last 15 years. This book of songs was put together at the request of a musician friend of mine who was looking for songs. I thought, I may as well put it online and see if others are interested.

 

There are two sections, the normal songs which could be adapted into any style, and the rap/heavy metal section. That last section does not mean that the songs really need to be rap or heavy metal songs, however they appear to be better spoken than sang, or they are a bit more extreme, in the spirit of rap/heavy metal songs.

 

If you are interested in turning these into songs, even modify them for your needs, and perhaps recycle many good lines from different songs to make new ones, please contact me and we will come to an arrangement.

 

Though this is copyrighted work, you can distribute them around for free with my name and contact details on them, and even put them online elsewhere as long as you link them to my website. If you turn them into songs, I will then have to be recognized as the author, or co-author if you wish to modify or add to them.

 

 

 

Summary

 

 

Part 1 – Any Style Songs

 

It always comes back to that, isn’t it?

Reaching an L.A. Crisis

My new big venture will destroy everything

My Imaginary Girlfriend

Are You Still My Friend?

Ready to Explode

Freedom

Poetry to Galvanise a Whole Generation

Our Terrible Sentence

Genesis

They all killed in your name

Living in Infinity

Life Isn’t Life

I Don’t Remember

Make a Difference

God my darling

I am out of this world

Presque vu (Almost Seen)

The well of wishful thinking

I am Saint Karen from New York

Stuck in a Time Loop

God forbid

There is no Point

That’s it, I had enough

Never been so low

Towards the Green Fields

I am going to heaven

Death Valley

Inner Peace

The New Age

To Hell with Conformism

I want to cry

Sold to Other People’s Ideas

A Swamp Full of Tadpoles

Go ahead with your dreaming

Being stopped by love

I'm Useless

No Way Out

When I was a little boy

Remaining true to oneself

Get inspired, if you can

I’m not proud

In Between Days

I don’t want to fall in love again!

Permanent Summer with Palm Trees and Canyons

Whatever it is you couldn’t stand about me

My Island

Los Angeles does not really exist

The extinction of humanity

Hail to the bugs, the true leaders of this world

My attempt to find happiness

Beyond that Californian Mountain

Where am I?

I thought you were dead

Tomorrow will be such a great day all over L.A.!

Sweet Chinese Girl

I’m Unstoppable!

Power is nothing

I cannot be trusted, I will fail every time

Completely screwed up

There’s no end to it

Tonight I am alive!

I Shall be Free!

There is still hope for me

I have lived! And now I can die…

Being Nothing

My Mea Culpa

Throw Me Away After Use

Step Into My Hell

Flee, Flee, Flee!

I’m Going to Shoot Myself

I Go from One Extreme to the Other

From the Moment When . . .

Love is Sweet

Something Philosophical

There’s Nothing Worse Than People With Principles

You Lied

If I Were God

The British Dream

The American Dream

I’m Ugly

The Power of Words

Oh Gloria, If You Hadn’t Loved Cider So Much . . .

Virtual Sheep, My Only Love!

Letter From Prison

Death

Illumination

Madness

Alone in the World

Craziness

Head in the Clouds?

I Should be Dead

I’m Your Slave

Life and I are Incompatible

To Die in Peace

Dear God, Let Me Be Done With It

Come On, Damn It, I’ve Got a Life to Live

Life

 

 

 

 

Part 2 – Rap/Heavy Metal Songs (more extreme)

 

 

We may still save humanity in America

Awareness in San Francisco

My Rough Edges

This is a Declaration of War

You can rape me all you want

The World is filled with Backstabbers

They’ve been testing me, like a rat!

You’re not so cool after all

What’s Your First Name Again?

A Gun at Your Head

Have you lost Faith in Destiny?

Drowning in my sorrows

Oh please let me be happy again!

I never felt so powerful!

Everyone needs to start somewhere

History has got nothing to do with you

Guilty!

Dear God

Child Suicide

Study your symbolism, for god’s sake!

Desperate for a gun in America

Let me buy you out just to shut you up

The Mormon’s Disney Land in Utah

Notice of Resignation, The Perfect Sample Letter

Propaganda

Frontline Terrorism

A Serious Problem with Authority

I’m Going to Find Myself a Whore

I’m Your Inflatable Virgin Mary

Alien Nation

I Know the Name of God

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part 1 – Any Style Songs

 

 

 

It always comes back to that, isn’t it?

 

(chorus:)

It always comes back to that, isn’t it?

Oh yes it does

Dear me

I’ve seen it comin

I always do

 

What is it this time?

What is this big secret which will again

Devastate me?

Irretrievably change my life

To keep me exactly where I am now

Where we’ve always been?

 

It always comes back to that, isn’t it?

Oh yes it does

Dear me

I’ve seen it comin

I always do

 

Oh please!

Can we live this life without anymore downfalls?

Is it not possible to live a life

Of total inaction?

All you need is one day

To destroy it all

When all we have ever been able to reach

Is the bottom of the ocean

Deeper and deeper

 

It always comes back to that, isn’t it?

Oh yes it does

Dear me

I’ve seen it comin

I always do

 

No matter how hard you try

To reach some sort of happiness

Just for a while

It can never last

You get right back to square one

Always

 

It always comes back to that, isn’t it?

Oh yes it does

Dear me

I’ve seen it comin

I always do

 

Another disaster

Another crisis

Some suffering

A lot of crying

Once again completely lost

Alone in the world

With great unexplored vastness in front of our eyes

Wishing we could fly and reach it all

Discover a new horizon

Less horrible than the precedent

As a law of nature

We can only find

Worse

 

It always comes back to that, isn’t it?

Oh yes it does

Dear me

I’ve seen it comin

I always do

 

It always comes back to that, isn’t it?

Yes, it always comes back to that

It always comes back to that, isn’t it?

Yes, it always comes back to that

 

There’s no way out for people like us…

There’s no way out for people like us…

There’s no way out for people like us.

 

Summary

 

 

Reaching an L.A. Crisis

 

Los Angeles

Crisis Mode

Panic Attack

Here we are

The End of Days

Just like in the movies

It was all true after all

I can’t think anymore!

I can’t breathe anymore!

I’ve reached another

L.A. Crisis

 

California

Crisis Mode

Panic Attack

Right here on Hollywood Boulevard

Dying on the street in Burbank

How was that a surprise?

They were all born here

They all died here

The legends

Drunk to full capacity

Drugged to full capacity

This is where

Hollywood drove them all

Over the cliff

 

Hollywood

Crisis Mode

Panic Attack

The End of Days

For me to discover now

To understand

To assimilate

To digest

The enormity of it

The enormity of it all
