Pissing in the River

My friend told me to go see the old bands. She told me to enjoy what I know so I went to see Patti Smith. She was wonderful, she had a presence, she had such a pwerful voice, she was andrgonous, she was such a strong woman, she was funny and she was nice. She took the time to explore Glasgow and incorporate what she saw in the set, talking about the cathedral and Necropolis in between blasting out classic tracks like Free Money and Gloria.

" I walk up to the microphone and I have no fear"

As the sun went down they started to dance
The light drifted into a hollow glow
The flames started to kindle
The day was a shadow
The night go

I'm going to see Patti Smith tomorrow. Must think of something to wear.

No one is illegal


I walk my children on the hard shoulder
To the bothy of your love

I shelter their eyes from the camera
When we journey
To the bothy of your love

I will salvage what is warm and dry
In the bothy of your love

I hug my children in the wonder of your love

I will wake before the rising sun
In the bothy of your love

I will cup cool clear water
In the morning of your love

And when the Rowan is fully grown
We will walk happily
from the bothy of your love

Mountains To Climb

On hearing her son had climbed a mountain, mother looked up at the wardrobe.

"How did that chair get up there", she asked.

Hanging Out



If it was not for the guardians of the spirit houses, then all the angels would be dead

To My Mind

I don't mind if you see sex in words
I don't mind if you see freedom in the flight of birds

I don't mind at all

I don't mind if you tell me to shush
I don't mind if your lips want to push

I don't mind at all

I don't mind if my buttons drive you berserk
I don't mind if you rip my shirt

I don't mind at all

I don't mind if you welcome me in

I don't mind
I don't mind a little loving
