He came round this morning
and I was still in bed
He saw all my chaos
he looked at how I’m fed
He viewed myself in tatters
Gazed apon shit creek
it didn’t really matter
that he saw that I was weak

He helped me sort out my son
he made sure the boy got his work done
he offered to build me some shelves
he made me smile despite myself

He left saying I’ll get my energy back
that I am in control
Throw all your cigarettes away
baby get on that roll

So I danced today
to fine reggae
as the sun came out to play

I tidied up my sad garden
I asked my kids to mind their pardons
and got very very tired

I made plans
to clean
and be mean
and be my number one fan

be healthy
forget wealthy
be green
be seen

then I started bleeding
and it all turned to shit
again
