Hey Gang -

This week’s Friday Song is After The Coma, and for paid subscribers, the music player and artwork follow after the lyrics.

Cheers - Lach

PS: I’m planning to play the song in Edinburgh on Monday Feb.2 at:

Joseph Martyn’s New Music Showcase

At The Waverly Pub in Edinburgh (3-6 St Mary’s Street)

Free Entry/Doors at 7 pm/Music starts 7:30 pm

If you like new music, enjoy a free show from great local songwriters (and sometimes touring songwriters!)

If you want to play but it’s busy and you don’t get a chance to play, then do say hi, and you’ll get priority next time!

PS: I’ll be doing a few tunes at 8:15 pm, but arrive early, everyone’s great! ;-)

After The Coma

The best newspaper's still a tree
The best show is never on TV

The greatest star is merely a thought
The greatest lie is the one never caught

And the best music never won an award
The best pen is still a sword

The greatest secret is you are me
The greatest dream is reality

The last cookie illuminates the room
And the last kiss is always too soon

The last chance before the exit
The last time our twinned eyes met

The last time is never assured
The last line might be but a word
The last one might be the one
The last train might never come

First poem after the coma 
Gonna try a new persona

First poem after the coma
Who stole my blue kimono

Hey Ramona, come on over
I wanna be your Casanova

Last time I fly out of Tacoma
Or was I in Arizona

Or was it Oklahoma 

First poem after the coma
Where'd I get that strange  diploma

First poem after the coma
Didn't go the way I thought it was gonna

What was I thinking of 
The last word is always love

It's always love
