Reddened nose, cheeks of pink
It 'twas' a long time coming, a long time gone, twice the width and just as long
All the years with paranoid farce. You did not like children or would not be asked
Although you were thought of with warmth of heart, why not change your mind and break down the facade
A battle fought for everyday life
A drink or two to carry the strife
Merry with sherry, fun with scotch
mug in the bar up on the notch
drive to work sober, drive home drunk
Always the next morning
your spirit had sunk'.
riddled you brain, diseased your liver
Had a kind heart, enough for a giver
Died too young for my children to know
you could be a right so and so
Forgive you, there's none to give
You took on so much, took us to Loch Ness
remember you well, your intentions were good for an army Sargent major in a guilt ridden mess
lorry mechanic in a Bethnal green firm
A prize winning fighter from the brownswood tavern,
liked very well by people who you knew, loved by us in our nice polished shoes.
