| SHADES OF GREYStones all from rocks of ageless time Rounded into pebbles shaped so fine Their edges worn by the tossing of the sea As they rise like great monsters unable to flee White horses riding surfing the endless waves Their tongues spitting exploding as they hit the caves Tearing another one to add to the masses on the floor Slowly weaving tossing and turning until they are no more Leaving golden sands for children to dance and play From rocks to dust as it is for all the natural way Thousands and thousands of pebbles coloured in grey But gazing amongst them you begin to see the display Laying dotted around all the grey, A white A black one A brown and A red all shapes and colurs under the sun |
| POWERLooking at that big mass of concrete and clay Makes me feel fear and anger as my children play If there ever came a day when these types go wrong God for miles and miles it’s the end of every song Laying to waste every blade of sweet green grass Every flower that grows safe my ass! Written and thought of before Chernobyl blew its top So many died giving themselves to stop it from going pop The warning could not have been any clearer Even now the sheep their healing no nearer The same has and is built all over the place Enough to change the face of the human race It’s safe my ass! |
