Barely Eighteen - Barely began
your life of grime and repetition
Barely learnt the phrases
you'll repeat for titillation
To the lads in the pub
Barely twenty one-barley bloomed
Before your bust and broken
Barely learnt the words you've spoken
To the man in the bed while your
Barely thirty - barely grown
your offspring ready to demand
to cut up what's left of you as planned
when they were born, just like a thorn.
Barely 50 - barely lived
Now death knows your name
My mate, my kids, my job, my life
My blame - antidepressant uncle blue
Barely sixty - barely alive
Near the end of a life of pain
Nothing left to lose again
but nothing left for you to gain
Again and Again and Again.
