about a man who said the following
and it made me think i may be wrong about my living
this man said character is formed by the things we do not say
and i thought it was formed by the things we do say
confused and feeling fine and a long long way to go
they went to the moon you know
even if people say they did not go

has gone to sleep and won't wake up for tea
when i was young and famous i was over a balcony
the world was alarmed for my fate
and he was just a tease
behind that mask all white and pale
was the boy he had always been

mum will come and take us home
can we stay together now that we are three
her mum is a another lady and mine is nancy lee
we never met the other one now that we are three

he was kind and crazy and very cross as well
we want him to be here together
and make him warm and free
we are now alone and she is crying
now i am in charge i must look after her and him
and i cant earn any money
because i dont know how to sing

the lawyers came today
and took the monkey far away
and now we might not live in LA

we want him to come home again
and tuck us into bed
read my bestest story
and pat me on my head

daddy why have you gone away
and why have we been bad
we wanted to come to O2
to see you sing your songs
everyone wants you to be alive
and not dead anymore
I wish that wishes happened
like they do on the TV
but Walt never saw what we saw
now that we are three

how do you know to read an adult mind
you must have some knowing of a different kind
grandma he said i note you see
that grandmas laugh and grandpas don't
how extraordinary i think what is this boy saying to me
i heard this before and dismissed it as sour grapes
but now i hear it from a boy of six
and realise that he and i do not mix
what to do about this fix?
