118: Needing Sleep

Don’t mess with me
I’m feeling mean
Don’t want to control my temper
I’m just about to scream.

All the noise you’re making
Grates inside my head
You’re outside my bedroom window
And I am seeing red.

It’s been the best day and the worst
Now I just need to sleep
So shut the fuck up you idiot
You’re waking up the street.

It’s 1.30 in the morning
It’s the middle of the week
You’re so damned inconsiderate
It’s really hard to believe.

While we drag ourselves to work
You’ll be lying your bed
Then in a peaceful house you’ll slumber
Not a worry in your head.

So yes I’m feeling angry
Yes I’m feeling mean
Because you’re not some unknown neighbour
And no this isn’t a dream.

27: Can't Bring Me Down

Sometimes life throws me lemons
and I wonder what to do;
but you can’t bring me down,
I’m always gonna win through.

Got a letter from the government,
that says they overpaid
and now they want it back again.
I really was dismayed.

Sometimes life throws me lemons
and I wonder what to do;
but you can’t bring me down,
I’m always gonna win through.

My girl’s car got damaged,
by a driver that didn’t stop.
The bumper’s bent and mangled
and now she’s out of pocket.

These things should make me angry,
but I don’t want that in my life.
I’m gonna smile and let it go.
I don’t need that kind of strife.

I sent out a call for coffee,
friends replied from across the globe.
Local Kerry came to the rescue.
You always give me hope.

Sometimes life throws me lemons
and I wonder what to do;
but you can’t bring me down,
with a friend I’m gonna win through.
