I was lying on the road Looking at my skin I said hey baby Will you come and look in? I was pleading don't you leave me I was begging you don't forsake me I could tell the sight weren't pretty But sometimes love gets gritty I was lying beside you Through a long dark night I was holding your hand oh so tight I was thinking about you leaving About you going away You woke to find me praying begging you to stay Love it's a dark time So love welcome to my dark mind I was walking a long road Trying to find my way I was telling you to go But hoping you would stay I was giving you this shit 'Cause you'd given some to me I was blinding you with words But hoping you'd see through me But sometimes love gets gritty Johnny Talked To Sue7.1989 Copyright Simon Smith Johnny talked to Sue While she'd wait for the forty two He'd make her laugh He'd make her cry He'd make her time fly by Johnny leased a car from motability [disability car leasing charity] And drove it 'round Sue's vicinity And one day stopped and said to Sue "Do you want to get in with me" He'd make her laugh He'd make her cry He'd make her time fly by Johnny and Sue grew closer every day Thought their love would never go away Entwined under the burning sun Their life together had begun He'd make her laugh He'd make her cry He'd make her time fly by Sue's mother would often warn Of the burden Johnny'd be Sue's father said she loved out of sympathy And for Johnny's sake she should leave him And for their sake she did He'd make her laugh He'd make her cry He'd make her time fly by A year went by in silence But the kind that said it all When Sue left home to live She didn't laugh no more
One Hundred Miles An HourCopyright Simon Smith London 1994
One hundred miles an hour On a deserted road to Madrid The sun sets the road on fire While a bride in black dances for a lift Angels come to cool my brow With visions of the here and now The silent thoughts that pass us by With electric words that haunt the sky The city greets us like we're old friends While Jesus, his arms outstretched, Tells us to come again And the US jets circle overhead If you forgive they won't forget In this land of grace We came and went without a trace August 1989 We drove fast to the borderline I could feel the Angels flying Backwards against time At one hundred miles an hour On a deserted road to Madrid An Angel passed in reverse Revealing the size of the universe
