REMEMBER THEM On crowded platforms waving goodbye, legions of earnest young men With their hearts downcast but their heads held high we'll remember them With a pledge for their sweetheart, a smile for their ma and a handshake for their kith and kin Hiding their fear behind the smiles that they wore, we'll remember them Blood red poppies in the grey light of dawn on a cold November morning As the last post plays and a nation mourns, we'll remember them Bright-eyed boys next door on far foreign shores destined to risk life and limb For King and for Country in the war to end wars, we'll remember them Sent to the front line by the high command, condemned with a stroke of the pen To be damned or die fighting in no man's land we'll remember them Blood red poppies in the grey light of dawn on a cold November morning As the last post plays and a nation mourns, we'll remember them The lost generation who never came home; the loved ones whose family and friends Weep and lay lillies on faded headstone, we'll remember them Old soldiers gather to pay their respects braving the rain and the wind Honour their fallen comrades with these words on their lips, we'll remember them Blood red poppies in the grey light of dawn on a cold November morning As the last post plays and a nation mourns, we'll remember them

CHAINED TO THE RAILS A Song For International Women's Day Wake up Little Suzy, there’s work to be ... read moredone While this cold war is raging, the fight must go on These are the dark ages and here in Babylon Your sister’s still chained to the rails You win some; you lose some you know how it goes All those hard times and troubles and what have you got to show? Though it’s one woman, one vote now deep inside we both know Your sister’s still chained to the rails Use your pride to fight prejudice and try not to forget The song of the siren and the brave suffragette They say attitudes are changing the world over and yet Your sister’s still chained to the rails If you can’t stand united, divided you’ll fall Back in line where mankind’s saved a place for you all Either up on a pedestal or pinned to the wall Your sister’s still chained to the rails A just cause liberation, ah, but what’s in a name? To the women in bondage who forever remain Only there to be exploited for society’s gain Your sisters still chained to the rails Something old, something borrowed, something long overdue A sweet dream of equality that could never come true You burned your bras and your bridges and what good did it do? Your sister’s still chained to the rails Now you’re marching for freedom down a thousand dark roads You’ve come such a long way but you’ve so far to go So sing it and shout it and let the world know Your sister’s still chained to the rails

Kings of the Radio............unreleased Lazy Summer evening, kicking my heels Dolly's in the kitchen cooking up a meal Time is hanging heavy, time is moving slow And I'm just sitting round listening to the Kings of the Radio Spider on the ceiling making himself at home Some harpie talking business on the telephone Whatever she's got to tell me I don't want to know I'm just sitting round listening to the Kings of the Radio Come sit by me, settle down, snuggle up, shut the light No one I have to see, nowhere else I'd rather be than here with you tonight I'm going to batten down the hatches, hang a sign upon my door There's a world outside my window I'm trying to ignore So when the sirens start screaming and the cold winds blow I'll just be sitting round listening to the Kings of the Radio Trouble on my doorstep, worries on my mind Tonight just for a little while I'm going to leave them all behind And let the music take me anywhere I want to go Just sitting round listening to the Kings of the Radio Come sit by me, settle down, snuggle up, shut the lights Nothing I have to do but to keep this rendezvous home here with you tonight Woman take the load off, I'll pour a glass of wine You can tell me about your day, I'll tell you about mine We can while away the hours by the fireside glow Just sitting round listening to the Kings of the Radio

HARD LUCK STORY Could be the girl with the pale blue eyes Or the three-time loser forever wondering why Even the sober man when they ring the last bell Everybody’s got a hard luck story they could tell Hidden away in some dark secret place The memories of every slight and every fall from grace Long since buried will someday be revealed Everybody’s got a hard luck story they could tell Some will scandalise you, some move you to tears Some will remind you of the crosses that you bear Some will choke the voice that whisper in your ear About the power of love, about the power and the glory About the trials and the troubles about the cares and the worries Seems everywhere you go you hear another sad sorry tale Everybody’s got a hard luck story they could tell Someone’s been abandoned, someone’s been betrayed Someone’s paying too dearly for the choices that they’ve made Someone’s lost their heart to someone who never will Everybody’s got a hard luck story they could tell The first born who was always second best The priest with a conscience who’s been dying to confess The innocent man as her prowls his prison cell Everybody’s got a hard luck story they could tell Some will ring true, some will sound insincere Some will comfort you some will confirm your fears Some will lift your spirits; some will cause you to despair About the trials and the troubles about the cares and the worries Seems everywhere you go you hear another sad sorry tale Everybody’s got a hard luck story they could tell The hordes that pass you by on a crowded street All the strangers that you cross but never get to meet Every victim, down and out and ne’er do well Everybody’s got a hard luck story they could tell

TEAR-STAINED LETTER

SUNLIGHT THROUGH STAINED GLASS for the Reverend Tom Page Good friends I haven't many I can count them on one hand Now the house of God is empty Outcast that I am I sit here in the silence as the endless hours pass So alone and afraid, watching my faith slip away Like sunlight through stained glass Everybody's losing their religion It's the times we're living in Nowadays no one needs a preacher Absolved of every sin The congregation's dwindled with nary a soul at mass My conviction once so strong will fade before too long Like sunlight through stained glass Evening shadows falling with the darkness coming on Everything I once believed in will be lost before the day is done We poor few shall raise our voices Though there'll be no one to hear Ghost choirs will sing his praises And the dead recite his prayers Beyond these walls the world is changing soon as the dye is cast Everything I once held dear will surely disappear Like sunlight through stained glass
