Poems

We Will Dance to the Death
We will dance to the death,
There is no stopping now.
They said it was dead,
The world would be run by hedgehogs and street fighters
Some of us picked guitars others bought boxes,
Whatever, it's all the same,
Music, music, use it, use it.
So sick of talking about some things that happened,
We are part of something happening now.
Albums by the boys are turning into precious metals all over the world.
From the raw spirit of the early tours to world records...
Bonehead playing the spoons when the electricity went in Newcastle
To the now legendary Swedish trip.
There was something in the air,
A change, dreams could be realised
Running through Paris didn't give a fuck, just living.
There is a price and hats off
To the souls who gave their private lives and time away for the cause.
Do not be fooled by imitations
There are only a handful of main players in evey generation
... but ... come on in ... create ... live ...
There isn't much time.
Come on people were making it now. "
Richard Ashcroft (The Verve) 3/9/96
