To be clear this is not a novel or book of short stories. It is a collection of 185 of my old song lyrics. I'm not a lyrical genius. I've been in a lot of bands since 1988, however, and I'm a fair songwriter. To make this whole exercise somewhat less lame, I've de-lyricised the songs somewhat. I took out the repeated choruses and the "Oooh-oooh tra-la-la [handclap]" backing vocals stuff since there's little in life more tedious than reading that with a straight face. So here you are. Not poems, at least not written that way, just some songs. Enjoy. UPDATE: This revised edition contains added lyrics and poems from old notes I dug up, plus several new poems I've continued to write since this was first put together.
