Subject: Lyr Add: ILLUSIONS OF NORMALITY (G Papavgeris) From: George Papavgeris Date: 26 May 13 - 02:13 PM The last 24 hours threw up (yet) another dollop of doom and gloom; or was it the last 60 years... Anyway, here it is, dedicated to the many heroes and heroines I know who go through life with a pretense of normality while battling demons... ILLUSIONS OF NORMALITY Buds on the trees and bees begin to swarm The daffodils defy the passing storm Feels like the springs of not so long ago Yet nothing's quite like I used to know. The milk is plastic and the float as well No clink of glass the silence to dispel Switch on the telly, hear the morning lies Shaving a face I hardly recognise And something tells me trouble lies ahead And still beside you I would lay my head ----------- The bobby's helmet has a visor now There's plasma screens inside the Old Dun Cow Three pounds won't buy you a pint of beer If you don't like it there's a Tesco near There's angry driving on the motorway And little screens to show us all the way But we have lost the way some time ago And what we're driven to we just don't know. And something tells me trouble lies ahead And still beside you I would lay my head ---------- We make believe our world has all in place We text each other LOL and smiley face It's not a face but just a mask we wear For we have things inside we dare not share We get knocked down and we get up again We think we see the sun shine through the rain From day to day we stumble in a dream And talk a lot to hide the silent scream. And something tells me trouble lies ahead And still beside you I would lay my head |
