hiya bonnie. i just tried to sent a long reply, but it didn't send....grrrrrrrrrrrr gotpoetry p.m. and comment people are you listening?. i basically said that most of the poem is big country lyrics soty of scattered about in the poem. david bowie on his early albums used to write down interesting phrases, then cut them up and throw them in the air. wherever they came down he would write it down. good enough for early bowie, good enough for me....but i just do it in my head - paul and the hunky dory hound.

'I forget how it started but everyone knew of the cause. Hard out of the sun with a vengeance & all was then lost.

They crawled into homes yet all of the old ways were gone. It left nothing to run to but no one can help how they’re drawn.

Survivors set out on a trail in a search for salvation. Looking for remnants of sense in the end of a nation.

We will all fall together, a black sky in the rain & you can laugh & I will sing we’ve changed forever.'

Stuart Adamson 1984

'Home, home came the angels. All that was never alive. Cast out and still welcome, all that was never alive.
Home, home came the angels to the shore and sea where they lie.

And still the days fire on with never ending pace and we are now no nearer to the finish of the race. And who will know we won? No-one.'
