No More Strictly

Please, no more...
three shifts a month pays my car insurance she said...
she so heartbreaking when she talks like that

I've got a Florence trip and my tattoo - oh, its just lots of things add up..

but now, she's standing there warming herself by the council gas fire that we now own at the knock down thatch price of 65% off....

planning her life - and I'm paying for some of it but there's still just that little reliance

and the title music plays

and the weather girls dance

and the people at home vote

Keep me in?

and knowing this matters..

knowing this matters...

knowing how much this matters,

that this is nearly all and the best, the best

knowing... these times that were so many

these are the days and the hours and now

I'd just stay dumb to sit beside you love,

while you drive me somewhere - moan all you like -

just so you can have a drink - but mostly it's something less indulgent

because you are trying love and this generation - of yours -

its not easy. And you are just feeling a blind for of tiredness

as a price to pay for doing your best and you are. I watch. you do your best

So proudly.

Its raining in the street, Bleaker Street.

You moved past so much - I admire you. A kid. My kid.

I stand in admiration and hope that you are better than me and know..

You will need to be.
