MATA HARI SAID
"I came here to dance!"
That's what Mata Hari said
"I came here to dance!"
With a shake of her pretty head
What was happening
She did not know
She was getting ready
For a burlesque show
All their questions never
Gave her a chance
All she ever answered ...
"I came here to dance!"
"I came here to dance!"
That's what Mata Hari said
"I came here to dance!"
With a shake of her pretty head
The French went on and on
With their accusations
Nobody listened to
Her protestations
Over and over they
Said she was lying
Convinced the whole world
That she'd been spying
"I came here to dance!"
That's what Mata Hari said
"I came here to dance!"
With a shake of her pretty head
Strike up the band
Play a sultry song
I will dance for you,
I've done nothing wrong
Dressed up in her finery
They took her outside
All the yellow newspapers
Said Mata Hari lied
"I came here to dance!"
That's what Mata Hari said
"I came here to dance!"
With a shake of her pretty head
In the back of the prison
Mata Hari stood proud
She refused a blindfold
Majestically uncowed
The shots rang out
She sank slowly to her knees
She stared at the firing squad,
They heard no pleas
"I came here to dance!"
That's what Mata Hari said
She went there to dance
And then she was dead

THE GIRL IN THE GARNET COLOURED DRESS
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL
IN HER GARNET COLOURED DRESS
THE PERFECT IMAGE OF SERENITY
CARRYING A PILE OF TABOON BREAD
FROM HER GRANDMOTHERS OVEN
GOLD COINS GLINTING ON HER CAP
SMILING AT LEMONS IN THE SUNSHINE
WITH ASSURED STILNESS OF HER HEAD
STOPPING BEFORE CROSSING THE ROAD
SHE CRUMPLES TO THE DUSTY GROUND
ANOTHER COLLATERAL OBSCENITY
AN ISRAELI RICOCHET LEAVES HER DEAD
ARE WE CRYING YET?
ARE WE CRYING YET?
ARE WE CRYING YET?
ARE WE?

Sunday 16th September 2012)

HUNTING LIZARDS IN THE LONG GRASS
WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
THE SUN IS SHINING BRIGHT
GROWN-UPS ARE STILL SLEEPING
ANOTHER DRUNKEN NIGHT
GET SHORTS AND SANDALS ON
A SLICE OF BREAD AND HONEY
OUT THE DOOR WITH FISHING NET
AND A JAM JAR ON A STRING
GO DOWN TO THAT WASTE LAND
NEXT DOOR TO THE HARBOUR
WHERE THE BOATS ARE BOBBING
AND ALL THE FLAGS ARE FLYING
GREEN BACKED BEETLES GLEAMING
THE SEAGULLS SHRILLY SCREAMING
HUNTING LIZARDS IN THE LONG GRASS
WHILE DREAMS ARE DAILY DREAMING
I KEEP THINKING ABOUT THE NIGHT BEFORE
ON MY OWN OUTSIDE THE SALOON BAR DOOR
WITH A BAG OF CRISPS AND A GLASS OF LEMONADE
THE WAY THEY LEFT ME ON MY OWN AGAIN
ON MY OWN AGAIN
ON MY OWN AGAIN
CORNFLOWERS BLUELY SWAY
GRASSHOPPERS CLICK ALL DAY
HUNTING LIZARDS IN THE LONG GRASS
WILL TAKE THE PAIN AWAY
BACK TO THE BUNGALOW
EVERYONE IS UP AND DRESSED
LOOK AT THE JAR OF LIZARDS
THEY SEEM MILDLY IMPRESSED
HUNTING LIZARDS IN THE LONG GRASS
ALWAYS TAKES THE PAIN AWAY
HUNTING LIZARDS IN THE LONG GRASS
ALWAYS TAKES THE PAIN AWAY
(Aberbanc, 9th October 2011)
