see you standing there
always telling me what you think
i sit back on the grass,
as you slide over the brink

People Pass By – Thursday 12th December 1996
i cannot always smile
as i drift past the people
who look suddenly different
yet we somehow still need each other
even when we seem undercover
Those Years – Thursday 12th December 1996
those years can leave a tinge of bitterness
masked by occasional laughter
that almost chokes from the throat
those years were the hardest ever
I Was Left Here – December 1996 (Originally Untitled)
i was left here
i was put upon to stay here
like a grumpy child i sit
taking out the moisture from my tears
building a boat out of my fear
All Out – Wednesday 11th December 1996
nothing going out or down
might as well wrap up warm
get together and stick around
magnetic forces no longer surround us
As We Watch You – December 1996
would you watch us
as we watch you
in an armchair sitting
of television drama
Daydreaming – Wednesday 11th December 1996
so i caught a little of the past
and pondered upon change
all this reminiscing
had me missing my roots
Not Us – Wednesday 11th December 1996
not us,
cannot blame us for everything
only something
why are we so concerned about our image
how perceive us
is it because we feel like the bad guys
In The Middle of a Dream – December 1996
waking up through a thought
that you learnt off a girl
you talked to at work
she lives in a cosmopolitan world
so she told me
i noticed her fingers were burnt
Working for a Living Life – Monday 9th December 1996
duty is a maidens game
as she waxes lyrical
and wonders if we are a name
or a face too farcical
that peers through life’s window frame
