Quotes

Go Down Swinging

You and me, we’re still a team

We’re playing through this weather

With wide eyes stinging, we’ll go down swinging

We’ll end this game together

Choir Boy

Baby boy, I think you gave up

Long before we could begin

I thought you had lost faith in me

But your doubt was within

Baby boy, if our ship went down

I’d have only saved you first

I’d have failed that lesson once again

Forgetting what I’m worth

Baby boy, I thought I told you

There is nothing here to fear

My hand to heart, you can restart

I guess you didn’t swear

Baby boy, there’s no hard feelings

There is only energy

The choice is fear or love

Please remember, you are free

Escape Velocity

Don’t be fooled

Don’t be fooled

You were born to grow

Don’t be fooled

Don’t fail the Test

Don’t second guess and slow

Don’t be fooled

Don’t falter

Don’t pretend that you don’t know

The only way to reach it

Is to hold tight and let go

Surrender

I’ve decided to surrender

I’ve decided to let go

I’ve decided to relinquish fear

That blocks energy’s flow

I’ve decided to give in

I’ve decided to move out

I’ve decided there’s a lot to life

That I can live without

I’ve decided to grow down

I’ve decided to get free

I’ve decided self-will isn’t all

That it’s cracked up to be

I’ve decided to be fluid

I’ve decided to find centre

I’ve decided to let go

I’ve decided to surrender

Plummy

This is the first day

This is the ripest plum

This day pierces the ruby skin

Of all the rest to come

Words

Words, they are my bread and board

My constant challenge, my reward

I have a line for every lad

I sell them what they’ve always had

I sing in prose, I speak in rhyme

I share the thoughts of the sunshine

Each day, I search for phrases new

But I’ve only found the one for you

Q.R.V.

Pink sky at dawn, we’ve sailed past the calm

There’s been a change of sea

Batten the hatches and lock all the latches

We’re in for Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

If I could, I think I should

Come haunt you in your dreams

A ghastly fright, Melinoe’s delight

To sleep with Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

A finger of this, a dram of that

A splash of jubilee

We’ll inoculate sorrows and curtail tomorrows

When we mix Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

Through beginnings and ends, you’re my best friend

We’re a team, you and me

The world upends? We can amend

We don’t need Q.R.V.
