Ok today is going to be a jazzy type of day.
Starting with Mr Sting and a couple of fine piece’s.
Never Coming Home.
Well it’s five in the morning and the light’s already broken
And the rainy streets are empty for nobody else has woken
Yet you turn towards the window as he sleeps beneath the covers
And you wonder what he’s dreaming in his slumbers
There’s a clock upon the table and it’s burning up the hour
And you feel your life is shrinking like the petals of a flower
As you creep towards the closet you’re so careful not to wake him
And you choose the cotton dress you bought last summer
There’s a time of indecision between the bedroom and the door
But the part of you that knows that you can’t take it any more
There’s the promise of the future in the creaking of the floor
And you’re torn if you should leave him with a number
And in your imagination you’re a thousand miles away
Because too many of his promises got broken on the way
So you write it in a letter all the things you couldn’t say
And you tell him that you’re never coming home
She starts running for the railway station praying that her calculation’s right
And there’s a train just waiting there to get her to the city before night
A place to sleep a place to stay will get her through another day
She’ll take a job she’ll find a friend she’ll make a life that’s better
The passengers ignore her just a girl with an umbrella
And there’s nothing they can do for her, there’s nothing they can tell her
There’s nothing they could ever say would change the way she feels today
She’d live the life she’d always dreamed if he had only let her
Now in her imagination she’s a million miles away
When too many of his promises got broken on the way
So she wrote it in a letter all the things she couldn’t say
And she told him she was never coming home
She told him she was never coming home
I wake up in an empty bed a road drill hammers in my head
I call her name there’s no reply it’s not like her to let me lie
It’s time for work it’s time to go but something’s different I don’t know
I need a cup of coffee I’ll feel better
I stumble to the bathroom door, her make up bag is on the floor
It really is a mess this place it takes some time to shave my face
I’m not really thinking straight she never lets me sleep this late
I’m almost done and then I see the letter
In his imagination she’s a universe away
Too many of his promises got broken on the way
So she wrote it in a letter all things she couldn’t say
And she told him she was never coming home,
She told him she was never coming home,
She told him she was never coming home
I’m gonna live my life
And she told him she was never coming home
I’m gonna live my life in my own way
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow’s rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime’s argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn’t play for the money he wins
He don’t play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart
He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart
That’s not the shape
The shape of my heart
If I told her that I loved you
You’d maybe think there’s something wrong
I’m not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
But those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart
That’s not the shape of my heart
That’s not the shape
The shape of my heart
After walking my JR at 6am and then popping into McD’s for my usual double burger and egg mcmuffin and getting home only to find they had forgot the bloody egg. Thinking it may well be one of those days.
Oh what a morning woke this morning with a bra draped across my face ,got out of bed and tripped over a pair of high heels and stepped on a skimpy mini skirt laying on the floor.
I really must stop this cross dressing when I am pi55ed.
A couple of masterpiece’s from the departed Mr Moore.
