Joy just one of those special feelings
I could give a list to you.
It can be soft; it can be loud.
Unexpectedly into view
Creeping unexpectedly into view
Big events and tiny moments
Piecemeal through the humdrum day
Unplanned, unreal, uninvited
Unanalysable in its way
Unanalysable in its way
In its way it’s free to all
Free to all in its way
Joy just one of those unique moments
Available to killjoys too
There can be joy in poetry.
I find a poetry in joy.
I find a poetry in joy.

White to Black

On the late night bus down Scotland Road,
You could hear that throaty laugh
And a voice that launched a dozen hits
When she turned from White to Black
Grew up to be the nation’s girl next door
She gave us all a lorra laughs
In the endearing tone of the finest scouse
When she turned from White to Black
Anyone who had a heart would have loved her
Anyone who had a heart
In those black & white days of twist & shout
Alfie, what’s it all about?
The epitome of the common touch
Getting on with folk - she had the knack
Middle aged woman as a TV star
When she turned from White to Black
The suburban dream of a place in Spain
But she lost her man – that knocked her back
No knight in shining armour to fix the dream
She turned from White to Black
Anyone who had a heart would have loved her
Anyone who had a heart
In those black & white days of twist & shout
Alfie, what’s it all about?
On the late night bus down Scotland Road,
You could hear that throaty laugh
And a voice that launched a dozen hits
When she turned from White to Black
