I Need no Tribute – March or April 1998

I Need no Tribute

I need no tribute
or big brass bands
I need no final card game
where I am dealt the perfect hand
I ned no final meal
eastern spice in a west end sight
I need no tribute
only a reliable friend
all I want,
is not all that I get
all I want is someone to know me
as well as anyone
as anyone can ever know you
I need no tribute
a mystery where I get the clues
a balcony with chairs
where I can see all the view
I need no tribute
roads to glory
roads with no bends
I need no tribute
only a reliable friend


James Garratt – March or April 1998
