The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever..

So,
So you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
How I wish,
How I wish you were here..🙏🏼
Wish You Were Here

Welcome my son,
Welcome to the machine.
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been.
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,
provided with toys and Scouting for Boys.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma.
So, Welcome to the Machine..

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish,
How I wish you were here..

A Happy 72nd Birthday to David Bowie,
...a true music icon of our times and so sadly missed.

He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds...”
He was a hero...
...and not just for one day.

Sadly missed by so many,

Hey, you !!
Out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old.
Can you feel me?
Hey, you!
Standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles.
Can you feel me?
Hey, you!
Don't help them to bury the light.
Don't give in without a fight...
