A love in verse

Memories

1996-10-01
Performed by

You beside me on the balcony

The dark Aegean sea at dawn

And ouzo and water and cigarettes

And knowing beyond the blazing braziers

You were among ten thousand as we played.

And seeing Brentford from above – our

What memories! And thinking of you and our love – 

What memories to come!

Sunday, standing by the fridge; it was black,

And your arm supported the broom...

One Fine Hand

I remember pigeons and sparrows

On the green beneath Edinburgh Castle

I remember smoking a secret joint...
