Array ( [sid] => 135004 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Westcountry Guilt [time] => 2007-06-07 08:05:23 [hometext] => I made an absolute mess of things on Sunday night, making a very strong case for a return to my previous teetotal ways. At least I could turn it into something positive - a poem. One thing I will say is that this is bound to be misinterpreted. [bodytext] => I’m being trampled by the white horse on the hillside
Providence hands me a broom but I freeze
I couldn’t sweep up the broken glass from the shop window
All those imagined conversations
Looks of concern on the station platform
Think I’d be much safer trapped in the computer screen
The broken glass remains on the pavement
The broom is no longer within reach
And I don’t even have the cash for a new one
Now I’m trying to draw inspiration
From a man who has blood on his hands
Not because of the broken glass from the window


Now the dogs are pouring over the hillside
I’m trampled by the white horse on the hillside

Carry on like this and ten years from now
I’ll be alone in a lighthouse clinging to my postage stamps
Still believing I can change the world with a notepad and a head full of dreams
I wasn’t left behind
I left my self behind
Reminders are everywhere
I leave post-it notes everywhere
Carry on like this and one of these days
There’ll be no more broken glass left to sweep up
For the windows will all be boarded up
Maybe some of them already are


I’m getting kind of sick of people calling me Jesus
