Polly Porter

Polly works in the office. We don’t really have an office. She tends to do more of this stuff from home.

Polly is about half poet and half song writer. She also sings a bit here and there but uses a different name. Why? we don’t know.

If you like her stuff please get in touch with us and we will see about getting some more posted on the net.

Serendipity

There’s something in the air tonight
I can’t see it but it sure feels right
Falling down like floating snow
Blessings on the folk below
And you and I in different parts
Of the city with no heart
Fee it fall and touch our soul
Bringing dreams to us all.

And you and I dreamt our dreams
In different places and different scenes
And years passed as years do
And still I never did meet you
But tonight I see the stars align
And brought your path to cross mine
In Central Park beneath snow flakes
It came at last to we who wait.

Monday’s manic

Chorus

Monday’s manic
Tuesday’s mad
Wednesday’s awful
Thursday’s bad
Friday’s better
Weekends near
Saturday’s great
Cos you’re here.

You’re here and I’m happy
You’re here and I’m glad
You see you’re the best guy
I’ve ever had
With you beside me
Nothing can go wrong
When you’re beside me
My love will grow strong.

Chorus
Monday’s manic
Tuesday’s made
Wednesday’s awful
Thursday’s bad
Friday’s better
Weekends near
Saturday’s great
Cos you’re here

When I’m beside you
I know I’m strong
When I’m beside you
Nothing goes wrong
When you come over
Its like Christmas day
When loving is over
Don’t go away.

Live the life

Live the life
Dream the dream
Know yourself
Know what I mean

Reach on up
Touch the stars
Where am I going
I’m going far.

Hold the hope
See the light
What you do
Do it right

Don’t let go
Keep right on
Do it right
Can’t go wrong.

Know yourself
Learn to feel
No rehearsal
Its for real

Live the life
Dream the dream
Know yourself
Know what I mean.

An Angel

An angel came yesterday
Said hello the usual way
Asked how I was and how you were
Said that life was never fair
I told him I was doing fine
Was getting on now you weren’t mine
But he just smiled and went away
Said he would be back another day.

The angel came back today
Asked if I really cared to stay
Said I looked tired and worn
Behind his hand I saw him yawn
Gave me the choice to stay or leave
Said no one left would really grieve
Said that I’d got nothing left
Then told me that his name was Death.

Take me to the mountain

Take me to the mountain
Let it heal my pain
Take me to the mountain
Let me feel the rain
Take me to the river
Let me drown my fears
Take me to the river
Let it wash my tears

Take me to the desert
Let me feel the sun
Take me to the desert
Let me be the one
Take me to the ocean
I want to hear the waves
Take me to the ocean
I know that I’ll be saved.

Take me to my homeland
Let me feel my home
Take me to my hometown
I don’t want to be alone
Take me through the days and nights
When I have lost my friends
Take me to the place
Where love has no end.

The Tempest

Ariel on a beach towel
Said to Caliban
Stop what you’re doing
Or I’ll kill you man
Prospero came running
Ariel flew away
Prospero he knew
He’d be back one day.

They lived inside the Tempest
They knew it was a play
They forgot they were actors
And life slipped away.

Caliban came creeping
To his wretched home
Ariel came sneaking
Caught him all alone
Put a gun in his mouth
Another in his hand
Went and sent Caliban
To the promised land.

Now they’re all weeping
And crying fit to bust
They lost everything
All they have is dust
People see each other
Steal cheat and lie
Spent their lives wishing
That the other one would die.

Walk on water

When I’m with you
I walk on water
When I’m with you
I walk on air
When I’m with you
The devil’s daughter
Comes to me but I don’t care.

When I’m with you
I climb the mountains
When I’m with you
I swim the sea
When I’m with you
I’m not frightened
I am not who I used to be.

When I’m with you
In the night time
When I’m with you
I belong
When I’m with you
It’s the right time
My love for you is strong.

Come to me

Come to me
Don’t come to me
Run to me
Don’t run to me
I am you
You are me
Come to me
Don’t come to me.

Sleep with me
Don’t sleep with me
Weep for me
Don’t weep for me
I am you
And you are me
Sleep with me
Don’t sleep with me.

Set me free
Don’t set me free
Look at me
Don’t look at me
I am you
You are me
Set me free
Don’t set me free.

I am you
And you are me
Come to me
Oh come to me
Run to me
Oh run to me
Only you
Can set me free.

In a room of many colours

In a room of many colours
In another part of Time
I dream that I hold you
And you are still mine
In a land of milk and honey
We live in perfect bliss
A parallel existence
Hot forged in a kiss.

In a place of milky starlight
Where the moon always shines
We slip sordid fetters
Of another place and time
In a continent of content
You have turned to me
All yesterdays evaporate
And you have set me free.

Where colours of new spectra
Haunt the dappled wood
All things are for the better
All things lead to good
In a flash of understanding
All things seen are true
All things lead me hither
To spend my life with you.

In the groove

In the groove
That’s where you put me
In the slot
That’s where I’ll be
I can move
If you’ll let me
Got the lot
As you can see.

In the box
I’m so creative
In the zone
That’s where I’ll be
You’re the fox
I’m captivated
On our own
No one can see.

In the ring
Touch will guide me
Ride bare back
Into the sky
Hold on tight
Your hope inside me
Don’t hold back
And we can fly.

Giving it away.

I never wanted
To give it away
I kept myself
To myself
I never knew
What love means
It only came
In my dreams.

Chorus
Then you came
Oh happy day
Now for you
I’m giving it away.

All alone
I faced the dawn
Friends would laugh
Show me scorn
I never once
Gave it away
Kept it safe
For another day.

Chorus
Then you came
Oh happy day
Now for you
I‘m giving it away

Give it away
Is what I do
Only give it
Boy to you
Give it away
Everyday
Here you are
Here you’ll stay.

Mr Black

You ask what I’m doing here
Sat so pale and so still
Why I don’t talk to you
When you’ve time to kill
You don’t see I’m tired
And there’s no turning back
My life is on hold here
While wait for Mr Black.

Can’t you see the pallor
Set dull in my face
Can’t you see I’m going
To another place
Don’t try to persuade me
For there’s no turning back
When you are not looking
I’ll go with Mr Black.

Now its time for me to go
I leave you on your own
I need another place now
This is not my home
Don’t cry when I leave you
My bags were always packed
Now my friend is waiting
I’m going with Mr Black.

But yes is hard to say.

You ask me this
You ask me that
You ask me every day
You always ask
The same old stuff
But yes is hard to say.

You walk to me
And talk to me
The question won’t go away
You know my mind
Is not made up
And yes is hard to say.

We wine and dine
You walk me home
You ask if you can stay
But you know that
I’m not sure
And no is hard to say.

I don’t want to
Lose it all
Don’t want you to go away
And so at last
I hear myself
Say yes, come up and stay.
