Conceived in an alley born in a cave raised on seaweed. Spent my early years on a roofrack. Left School at 10 caught by truant officer back at school by 11. I'm a twin of two others and I can play several instruments in my head and none with my hands. My first job was part time I painted the odd numbers on dice. I made a career out of avoiding a career.  My body is a temple often prodded by archeologists.

Wrong Kind of People I should accept that sometimes in life You can meet the wrong kind of people It’s like a visit to an unknown church Where you cannot see the steeple

Spider on a Fly

Spider on a fly Catch me lame Pray on my weakness You can slow me down When I’m sleepless I get carried away When I’m confused So whatever you say Will be something true
