A love in verse

Regret?

1998-11-06
Performed by
Pearl Mackie

When I was young, my bells were rung

For impossible adventures

It’s not the same, no bells proclaim

When you’re sixty-six with dentures.

But I don’t really care at all

For I have you and you’re my all


A subtler sound the years have found

I hear it in my heart

The things we’ve done, the love, the fun

Set all old dreams apart

Regret? I feel there’s nothing dafter

For I have you and I hear laughter.

Waterloo to Brentford

Waterloo to Brentford and back 

To an horizon of writhing track

Rain on blue trains laying dust...

Christmas Passed

All the pounding banks and pockets take

Slowly ceases to sound

We chuck the last uneaten Christmas cake...
