My Want Then
Here I sit
Alone in the park
I'm bored to the hilt
15 hours til dark
A drink I'm thinking
To have some fun
And forget about the pain
In this morning sun
It's 8 o'clock now
The doors open wide
To invite the drink one's
To mosey inside
Got the first cask
Tucked under me arm
Feeling good now
I'll soon be calm
Thoughts of freedom
Soon touch my lips
As grog hits my guts
Back in the habit's grip
No sooner I start
I start rollin' around
I know I'm cosy
On this clover ground
Soon I'm asleep
Blowin' zzzz's galore
A few hours' sleep
Wake up to some more
Funny this ride
I can't get off
Goes 'round and 'round
It's surely my boss.
My Want Today
Here I am today
Some new ways learned
To try and stay calm
And not crash and burn
Still ways to go
To improve my life
And not pick up a beer
It'll surely lead to strife
Sit back, take a breath
Something I've never done
Learning not to stress
A new life has begun
I'll go and throw a line
It's a beautiful day
The breeze in my face
Bad memories fade away
It's comin' on dark
I didn't know the time
Home to cook a feed
And settle for the night
My want for the day
Is embedded in my heart
Don't stuff up the day
Tomorrow's a new start. [1]
