Leaps and Bounds

Leaps and Bounds

you can cook the books
be a strange fascination
treble our chances in this situation
turn our thoughts into liquidation
but you must remember who we are
gypsies still roaming across the land
rivers still foaming and we’ve have come far
but we still have got so far to go
you can turn the page today
be the seer who is in the know
be devoid of all your fear
and show all that you can show
be a chance waiting to happen
do not always stand to one side
just waiting for the right song
because by the time it comes
it will have already gone
you can shake off excess water
you can be the precious stone
which is always most sought after
just do not be alone
time to come on in leaps and bounds
time for luck to stay and not roam



James Garratt – Saturday 28th February 1998
