lyrics
An Alphabet
When I hug my father we hold on tight.
If he forgets who I am, well that’s all right -
A is for Alzheimer’s.
B is for books,
C is for coffee.
You ponder your choice and you place your votes -
you get the same old knives at the same old throats.
D is for democracy.
E is for Elvis.
It’s an army based on blood connection,
armed to the teeth with love and affection:
F is for family.
G is for guitars,
H is for hard work.
You type it or you write it, but you get it down -
it’s all there’ll be left when you hit the ground.
I is for ink.
J is for jazz,
K is for kindness.
It’s an investment you just won’t believe:
The more you put in, the more you receive -
L is for love.
When you think you can’t face another day,
they’ll pick you up and carry you all the way:
M is for mothers.
N is for north,
O is for the ocean.
P is for poetry,
Q is for Quebec.
Sunshine, windscreen, rolling fields -
wind and rain, and the way that is feels:
R is for the road.
S is for sugar,
T is for television.
U is for up,
V is for Valentine.
And if W stands for all kinds of weather,
and X is a kiss that you send in a letter,
Y is for yes.
When you enter this life, this is what you bring,
and it’s what you take with you after everything:
Z is for zero.
A gifted writer, player and producer, Matt's 'Lessons of War' is a fascinating collection of collaborations - but he has a great back catalogue, too - and new songs due soon... Anthony Toner
Steven Scullion has made another great album to calm my soul and please my ears. This one has really been hitting the spot lately! Greetings to Malojianland and thanks for the music! This Is Soul '67
