One Of Those Nights

Here's a poem from 1989

Watch me perform it on YouTube...

tonight was a night to forget
a night of annoyance
a night lacking satisfaction
a night of sin
where bloody-minded hypocrites
complain at calling a spade a spade
particularly the spade with which they dig

they do not care
they do not spare a thought
they that themselves may be causing offence -
but it’s different when it’s them -
they can justify it

deep within my mind and emotions
are sadness and annoyance

I sin
and all to no avail
because it offers much but fails to deliver

it’s one of those nights that makes you wish you were ill in the morning so as not to face the consequences and horrors of what has happened, and will happen
