Make or Break – Written Monday 20th March 1995 (Aged 20)

Make or Break

it is a nice life
till it goes out of fashion
then we want again
i have got a chance
to make it through
it is a zoo
it is a terrible place
it is a nice life
but can you stomach the taste
someone waits at the station
with their bags all packed
ready to go
to what, they never know
a future in rags
destined to make them sad
or somewhere quite like paradise
destined to make them glad
it is the chance we take
make or break
it is a nice life
put a file in my cake
prison sentence for life
it is a nice life
full of love and full of hate




James Garratt – Monday 20th March 1995
