Feel free to add whatever you like - if you have the urge to redirect or hijack this thread - I won't be annoyed or offended -

And when he shall die
Take and cut him into little stars
So that the face of heaven will be so fine
All the world will love the night
And no longer worship the garish sun.

Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.

 

[harry johnson]

Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.

magically bored
On a quiet street corner
Free frustration
In our minds and our toes
Quiet storm water
M-m-m generation
uppers and downers
either way blood flows

 

[slave_]

Standing firm on this stony ground
The wind blows hard
Pulls these clothes around
I harbour all the same worries as most
The temptations to leave or to give up the ghost...

 

[harry johnson]

Standing firm on this stony ground
The wind blows hard
Pulls these clothes around
I harbour all the same worries as most
The temptations to leave or to give up the ghost...

but love is blind, and lovers cannot see
the pretty follies that themselves commit

 

[Byron In Exile]

Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.

[slave_]

magically bored
On a quiet street corner
Free frustration
In our minds and our toes
Quiet storm water
M-m-m generation
uppers and downers
either way blood flows

Inside outside. leave me alone.
Inside outside. nowhere is home.
Inside outside, where have I been?
Out of my brain on the five fifteen.

 

[harry johnson]

^

Let none think to fly the danger
For soon or late love is his own avenger

 

[slave_]

but love is blind, and lovers cannot see
the pretty follies that themselves commit

For if they could Cupid himself would blush
To see me thus transformed to a boy.

Inside outside. leave me alone.
Inside outside. nowhere is home.
Inside outside, where have I been?
Out of my brain on the five fifteen.

On a raft in the quarry
Slowly sinking.
On the back of a lorry
Holy hitching.
Dreadfully sorry
Apple scrumping.
Born in the war
Birthday punching.

 

[slave_]

Peace! I will stop your mouth.

 

[Byron In Exile]

Quadrophenia.

This... is inspiring.

 

[harry johnson]

For if they could Cupid himself would blush
To see me thus transformed to a boy.

I know a passion still more deeply charming
That fever'd youth e'er felt; and that is love,
By long experience mellow'd into friendship.

 

[slave_]

On a raft in the quarry
Slowly sinking.
On the back of a lorry
Holy hitching.
Dreadfully sorry
Apple scrumping.
Born in the war
Birthday punching.

He man drag
In the glittering ballroom
Gravely outrageous
In my high heel shoes
Tightly undone
They know what they’re showing
Sadly ecstatic
That their heroes are news.

He man drag
In the glittering ballroom
Greyly outrageous
In my high heel shoes
Tightly undone
They know what they're showing
Sadly ecstatic
That their heroes are news.

 

[harry johnson]

To write a good love letter you ought to begin without knowing what you mean to say, and to finish without knowing what you have written.

 

[slave_]

He man drag
In the glittering ballroom
Greyly outrageous
In my high heel shoes
Tightly undone
They know what they're showing
Sadly ecstatic
That their heroes are news.

Why should I care?
Why should I care?

Girls of fifteen
Sexually knowing
The ushers are sniffing
Eau-de-cologning
The seats are seductive
Celibate sitting
Pretty girls digging
Prettier women.

 

[slave_]

Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea.
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers
Laying in the fields...

 

[slave_]

Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky.
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high.

 

[harry johnson]

I'm goin' home
And when I wanna go home
I'm goin' mobile
Well, I'm gonna find a home
ON WHEELS, see how it feels
Goin' mobile
Keep me movin'

 

[slave_]

Love Reign O'er me.

On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain.
The nights are hot and black as ink
I can't sleep and I lay and I think
Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain.

 

[harry johnson]

Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky.
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high.

On the dry and dusty road,
The nights we spend apart alone.
I need to get back home to cool, cool rain.
I can't sleep and I lay and I think,
The night is hot and black as ink.
Oh God, I need a drink of cool, cool rain.
