Who Do You Dink You Are
Who do you dink you are
Some kind of pickle star
Oh yeah I like your fancy style
When you play you make me smile
People are coming from near and far
Who do you dink you are
When you are live on court
You are creating a sensation
With your paddle in your hand
Nothing but good vibrations
What an exciting performer
You always play a stormer
Standing tall on the baseline
You serve a...

Rock Star
I look in the mirror what do I see
An old man stares back at me
I used to be young once you know
Where the hell did the time go
I don't feel any different inside understand
I need to grab the future with both hands
I could have been a rock star
Strutting around with my guitar
I've got the music in my head
Words that flow enough said
Live fast die young there you are
I could have be...

Slaughter In Gaza - Genocide
Slaughter in Gaza
What does the world care
Life my friends is very cheap
That's the way it goes so there
While we all stand idly by
What happened to the United Nations
I hear you scream and cry
Slaughter in Gaza
Open your eyes wide
The word is genocide
Slaughter in Gaza
What did our prime minister say
Not a damn fucking word hey
We all know the reason why
We are supplying the ...

Out Of My Mind
I once had a vivid dream
Do you know what I mean
Are you listening as I share
Or do you really give a care
I once had a thing called hope
A feeling that helped me cope
Out of my mind
Searching for an answer
A solution of some kind
Out of my mind
Life is just a waste of time
Nirvana I hope to find
Out of my mind
I opened up my bleeding heart
It was a good way to start
What I ne...

Celtic Man 🇮🇪 ☘️
I have got something to say
Welcome to St. Patrick's Day
Where on earth have you been
The date on the wall is March 17
It's a day of big celebration
For all of the Irish nation
And the millions of us around the world
As the tricolour is unfurled
I'm a Celtic man proud Irish I am
I'm a Celtic guy holding my head up high
My blood flows emerald green
I'm a Celtic man proud Irish I am

Dink Until I Die
There is a game that I play
That is kind of underground
It goes by the name of pickleball
Shush don't you make a sound
Whenever I mention the word
Folks they Google they haven't heard
Then they open wide their eyes
They want to play surprise suprise
I'm gonna dink untiI I die
Laugh until I cry
Play all day long
Don't put a foot wrong
Reach for the stars
Just watch me fly
I'm gon...

Heart On My Sleeve ❤️
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I really want to believe
I wear my heart on my sleeve
No more do I want to grieve
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I wasn't looking for affection
But we made a connection
I looked deep into your eyes
They smiled at me to my surprise
In an instant feelings did flow
And the love it did grow
I wear my heart on my sleeve
Why did you have to leave
I wear ...

Left Handed Man
I'm in a persecuted minority
Looked down on by the majority
I am known as the one in ten
Made fun of now and again
Dont mock me I was born this way
Just got to deal with it what can I say
I'm a left handed man
Doing the very best that I can
Working my way through life
All the trouble and the strife
Just need a master plan
I'm a left handed man
Writing can be a real pain okay

It's Pancake Day Okay
It's Shrove Tuesday don't you know
Well I'll be blessed but I let my religion go
No ashes on Wednesday for me
I left the church and set myself free
But hey ho I've got something to say
It's pancake day hurray
I'm hungry feed me I pray
It's pancake day okay
I can still remember as a boy
It was a day of pure joy
Mammy made the sacred batter
Four hungry eager mouths to feed no matter

More Dead Than Alive
The planet that I inhabit is doomed
Once upon a long time ago it bloomed
Being slowly destroyed without remorse
By our wonderful mankind of course
I am just a helpless spectator
At the mercy of my heartless creator
I'm more dead than alive
Still breathing but my heart doesn't beat
Looking straight through you
I'm invisible isn't that neat
I'm more dead than alive
I was shoved withou...

White Rabbits 🐇
I awoke this morning at seven
My bleary eyes in a misty haze
Drew the curtains and to my surprise
The warm spring sunshine ablaze
All alone I was about to speak out
Then I remembered it was march the first
White rabbits, white rabbits, white rabbits I cried
Will it bring me good luck or a curse
Some people say pinch punch
Watch this space for better or worse

Friday Feeling
I have got that Friday feeling
My head man is reeling
It's Friday thank the lord
Join the party climb on board
Happiness I hope you find
I'm in a Friday state of mind
Another week of the daily grind
No satisfaction do I find
Working to live a dystopian existence
To survive you gotta have persistence
Not much reward taxed to death
Exhausted can hardly catch my breath
Hit the road i...

Get a life
You only get one shot
Get a life
It's the only chance you got
Grab it with both hands
Be happy with your lot
Get a life
Look around you what do you see
A great big world that holds the key
Eight billion people on planet earth
A lot of pressure what are you worth
Its dog eat dog know what I mean
Take a chance and live the dream
No point being down and blue

Give Me A Sign
The days they keep on coming
The seconds they tick on by
Time it waits for no man
As the minutes and hours fly
The world it doesn't stop turning
My life is nothing but an illusion
What can I believe in or trust
My head is clouded with confusion
Give me a sign today
Show me the way
I need some direction
Give me a sign
Take me by the hand
Just need a little affection
Give me a sig...

Forgive
People can be a real pain
Lift you up and drop you again
Treat you with absolutely no respect
It has a god-awful effect
Does anyone even really care
About another human and being fair
Can you forgive
Live and let live
The other flaming cheek turn
Let your love and kindness burn
Can you forgive
I'm all right Jack my mate
I'll leave you to your impending fate
Important you are defi...

Love Shone On Me
I was all alone in the pervading dark
As quiet as a dormouse hark
Encased in my protective shell
A happy face I presented as well
A blur of mixed up emotions
My mind clouded by inane notions
Just when I thought I was history
Love shone it's light on me
It was welcome not a mystery
Love Shone it's light on me
You appeared like a sunshine ray
A smile that shone brightly all day

Happy Makes Me Sad
Happy makes me sad
Good makes me bad
Sane makes me mad
Laughing makes me cry
Living makes me die
I have lost control of my emotions
All that remain are crazy notions
I am on a rollercoaster ride
Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
I can't see the wood from the trees
Under a dark cloud if you please
Surrounded by wretched humanity
I fear for my soul and sanity
I struggle every single da...

Cry Cry Cry
I cry in the cascading shower and my tears are washed clean away
I cry a river in my tortured sleep
And an ocean swallows me whole okay
I shed tears when I remember you
I weep and wish that it wasn't true
Listen to me snivelling and whine
Squawking and bellowing all the time
Never could I say goodbye
All that I seem to do is cry cry cry
In the endless pouring rain I wail
Whimper and ...

Honey Be My Valentine
I was all alone on planet earth
Drifting aimlessly for what it's worth
The rain it came pouring down
In my miserable dreary town
Then you came along like the sun
You shone on me you're the one
Honey be my valentine
Lay your loving on the line
You have set my heart on fire
Filled my soul with burning desire
Honey be my valentine
Forever I'm going to make you mine
Honey be my valenti...

Hiding In Plain Sight
Hiding in plain sight
Let me get this right
I don't want to be wrong
I've got a feeling and it's strong
You were right under my nose
Sometimes that's the way it goes
Hiding in plain sight
You were a charming delight
Couldn't see the wood from the trees
You arrived like a summer breeze
Under my radar you flew
And my mind you just blew
Hiding in plain sight
You were my phantom of t...

Pickleball Man
I used to run forever a marathon man
But now I am a veteran I need a plan
I thought I would give tennis a try
But it wasn't for me goodbye
Squash was next on my list give it a go
But for all my efforts it was a no
My mind was all mashed up man what to do
I had enough of misery and feeling blue
I want to be confident and walk tall
What could be the answer maybe pickleball
So I got my ...

In Your Arms
In your arms is where I long to be
Without you I am all at sea
In your arms was my destiny
You rescued me and set me free
In your arms is where I long to be
The time that we were given
Was short but we were driven
Each and every day was a a gift
The sight of you gave my heart a lift
But alas it was not to last
Our happiness was running out fast
In your arms I had peace of mind

Cancer Touched Me
Cancer touched my love and me
The suffering I could clearly see
The diagnosis was duly unfurled
It went and changed my world
The time we had was short
She battled and she fought
But it was all to no avail
The treatment it was to fail
Cancer touched me
You hear about it on the news
Everyone has their point of view
It can affect young and old alike
You never know when it will strike

Explode you're an angry man
Doing the best that you can
Liberation for your generation
What happened to our nation
Explode it's time for war
Man the barricades take no more
Explode
I am not a politician on the take
Just trying to survive and life make
I am not left or far right
Just want to sleep peacefully at night
Not a racist or bigot for sure
For this mess we want a cure

No Escape
There's no escape
No way out
There's no escape
Freedom I hear you shout
Nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide
Your life is a crime
You gotta do your time
There's no escape
The days they come and go
You just gotta go with the flow
Your heart is broken
Sad words are spoken
Your skin is peeling
You got no more feeling
The world doesn't care
About you standing there
You life isn't w...

Picklehead
I used to play lawn tennis
But I never made the grade
Then I tried badminton
But I was always in the shade
At the ping pong table
I was a champ at twelve
So I got myself motivated
I'm not sitting on the shelf
Off I went to the leisure centre
With my paddle in my hand
I felt out of my depth
I just didn't understand
Now I have a new family
And they look out for me
With lots of lov...

My Name Is Tom
My name is Tom
Don't get me wrong
I am a poet and on song
I need to write
To keep me bright
So here goes
My pen it flows
I've got plenty to say
Every single day
My name is Tom
My name is Tom
Today I'm sad
Sometimes I'm mad
In a world that is bad
I need a clear direction
Give me some real affection
All we get is pain and war
There's no peace anymore
What are we living for

One In A Million
You were one in a million
You said you loved me
Zillions and gazillions
You were one in a million
With a smile that was sextillion
You went and stole my heart
Miss you now we are apart
You were one in a million
I was wandering around this earth
Not impressed for what it's worth
Then suddenly out of the blue
I had a dream and met you
You kissed me and it became real
Alive you make m...

Walk beside me hold my hand
Lead me to the promised land
Walk beside me be my guide
Take me to the other side
Walk beside me
now and forevermore
You're the one that I adore
I had a little thing called love
It shined on me from above
Then you came and made my day
Lost for words what can I say
I was crying in misery town
Then you laid your loving down
Took me under your wing
Oh wha...

Touch Of Humanity
You touched me with your humanity
You touched me
Lifted my spirits and set me free
You touched me
I was blind but now I can see
You touched me with your humanity
One day at a time the people say
Tomorrow may never come okay
Be present in the here and now
All you get is a fleeting moment wow
History is long dead and gone
We are not on this planet for long
Forget about the master pla...

My heart is on fire
And my head is aflame
Thoughts come quickly
Exploding in my brain
All I have is my pen
And it's my sword
Mighty and fearless my lord
I write to live
And I live to write
Get the words out
No need to shout
Today is gonna be okay
Everything's gonna be alright (gonna be alright)
The world is at war
And we watch it burn
The media just loves it at every turn

Ignore Me
Ask me how I am feeling
Man I am really reeling
Look at me what do you see
Just a man wanting sanctuary
Why don't you engage me
Lift me up and set me free
Ignore me okay
I just want to have my say
Ignore me that's alright
I won't give up without a fight
Ignore me that's just fine
Justice one day will be mine
Ignore me
Time is a great healer they say
I just get by day by day

Kiss Me Quick
Across a buzzing crowded room
I spy you and suddenly swoon
I like the way you glide and move
And dig your crazy groove
You smile and I say hello to you
And wow I am no longer blue
I look deep into your eyes
They sparkle a nice surprise
Nobody is looking
Kiss me slow
Kiss me quick
Take a chance
Kiss me now
Kiss me quick
I buy you a cocktail drink
Cheers our glasses clink
We la...

A Snowman Smiled At Me
I wake up with a jolty start
To the beating of my pounding heart
In the air there is an artic chill
A whole day I have now to fill
I draw the curtains here we go
To be greeted by a blanket of snow
The lakeland plans I had today
Have been thrown into disarray
The weather is of course to blame
Oh my that's a sleety shame
Alas all is not completely lost
I shall venture out at any cost

I'm Amazing
I live on planet earth
for what it's worth
When I look around
I feel lost and found
The future seems bleak
I'm on a losing streak
You said that I'm amazing
My praises you sing
You said that I'm amazing
Oh what joy you bring
You said that I'm amazing
I'm just doing my thing
You said that I'm amazing
I'm just a working man
Doing the best I can
Just a humble guy

Hey 2025 🧨🎆✌️💕
January seems a long time ago
The weeks they ran away
And the months they flew
It's my life what can I say
Twelve months have passed
There goes another year
I worked too much
And didn't play enough
Its behind me now oh dear
But I'm not going to shed a tear
The whole world was in disarray
The weather was wild fire and flood
Storm upon storm and not much summer
Rain landslides and m...
