So very hot and sticky
Unwanted insects at large
Maybe summer isn’t the best season
Maybe it is spring-time that begins in March?
Every year I dread it
Really I do – because I hate the summer, clearly I think it’s poo!

Spring
So many
Pretty flowers
Return every year
Interesting in colour and patterns, to me are so dear
Never bleak in springtime
Gardens burst in bloom, colouring the world again after winter’s gloom!

Floating but not happy
I am floating without a purpose
Wondering where I will flow
Don’t know why I exist here
I don’t know where I will go
Who are these people flying by me?
What are their names and what do they do?
I want to know everybody, want to know who is who
But mostly I am seeking for another you
I am in the air floating
I don’t know why I’m here
Floating because reality is hard
It happened ever since you broke from me dear
The floating feeling is not happiness
It is a sense of loss
It is a surreal moment
Look some floating moss
I can’t be normal anymore
My brain is too mushed up
I’ve been this way ever since you broke us up
I can’t be who I once was
She is dead and gone
I keep on floating by the weak and the strong
I don’t think they see me
Though I wished they did
I float along in silence
Will I crash into them? God forbid
I keep on thinking about you
Although you’re lost and gone
I keep on wanting someone
Who will end this sad song!

Don’t you dare cry
Hello darling
Don’t you dare cry
I know the world it pains you it’s clear to see
But I want you to know I am here for you darling
Isn’t my love plain to see?
Look up darling, see the sun shine
Don’t dwell on things that won’t let you grow
All I want is to see you darling, smile and let happiness grow
Don’t keep thinking, about those dark thoughts
Just keep on thinking of the things you love
Don’t hear the gossip or the critics
They won’t help you, rise above
Kiss me darling, maybe your fears will fade away?
I am here for you always with open arms
Do not drown yourself in grey my darling
How I wished I had a magic charm
Then you can see my darling
That life is better if you do not dwell
Then happiness will flow to you darling
And your confidence will swell
Then there will be no dark clouds, only blue
I would do this all for you
So right now darling, don’t you dare cry
I know the world it pains you it’s clear to see
But I want you to know I am here for you darling
Isn’t my love plain to see?
Look up darling, see the sun shine
Don’t dwell on things that won’t let you grow
All I want is to see you darling, smile and let happiness grow

Happiness and Ken Dodd
Happiness I remember that
I remember things that gave me that
I remember you and I remember them
I remember happiness; I hope I will have it again
To me the world is a terrible place
Especially all people of the human race
I’m the unluckiest person in the human race
I’ve got no silver and I’ve got no gold
And I have misery in my soul
Happiness to me is peace of mind
A body without ill or pain and it’s mine
A big old family with lots of love
Lots of kisses and lots of hugs
Oh happiness, happiness
I wished I was blessed with happiness
I ask the lord, please do bless
Me with more than my share of happiness
Happiness is having pride, having a future and life that’s a wonderful ride
A piece of wealth and a lot of health
And lots of friends to pick off the shelf
A wise old man told me one time
Happiness is a frame of mind
You get what you mostly think about
And how I wanted to give that man a clout!
Oh happiness, happiness, is the greatest gift that I don’t possess
I pray to the lord that I be blessed with just a little piece of happiness
First of all let me apologise to hard-core Ken Dodd fans (like me) of which I have ruined a lovely song of. But I really wanted to write this, it used to be my favourite song and it used to annoy people and I think I may have sang it once too much to a jealous witch, because I feel cursed these days. I was so happy once on the first time I moved out that I was literally walking on air and being stupidly blind to the fact that it can someday go all wrong. I know, I know, it is a depressive’s version of the great Ken Dodd’s song and I even sing this in the same tune, sorry, not completely original, but it is my take on it. The tune is sung at a slower tempo as it is depressing, not at all like the original upbeat version Ken had made).
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord that I’ve been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
To me this old world is a wonderful place
I’m just about the luckiest human in the whole human race
I’ve got no silver and I’ve got no gold
But I’ve got happiness in my soul
Happiness to me is an ocean tide
A sunset fading on a mountain side
A big old heaven full of stars above
When I’m in the arms of the one I love
Oh, happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord that I’ve been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
Happiness is a field of grain
Turning its face to the falling rain
I see it in the sunshine, breathe it in the rain
Happiness, happiness everywhere
A wise old man told me one time
Happiness is a frame of mind
When you go to measuring my success
Don’t count my money count my happiness
Oh, happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I’ve been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
Oh, happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I’ve been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
I got more than my share of happiness

Shadows stop, I will fade away
Save me from this cruel world
With heartless people and all the ills
Save me from this cruel world
It takes a lot for me not to down these pills
The shadows you see on the walls
Cover me entirely
I am drowning in their darkness and their sorrows
I can’t take it anymore
Take me out of this world’s door
I implore, I implore
Madness slowly seeping in
When will comfort begin?
Hello shadows drowning me
Go away if you please
But if you do not and you stay
I will surely fade away
I can’t take it anymore, please take me out of life’s doors
The darkness is slowly taking over
Please help me to recover
Unless I die in your arms tonight
I will not be free
Madness slowly seeping in
When will comfort begin?
Hello Shadows drowning me
Go away if you please
But if you do not and you stay
I will surely fade away

Winter
Why so bleak?
It is the season
Never warm, always cold
Though thrilling festivals forthwith
Ever singing in the New Year
Riding the end of the year in larks and laughs

Autumn
Always colourful
Under trees I walk
That rain
Unwanted leaves
Merrily I step into autumn
Never too cold or warm – it always pleases me
