When you've got nothing left,
You might as well step up to the line -
Try your luck and skill
At this game of chance.
Roll the dice, toss the ball,
Hope that your aim runs true.
Can you remember the day
When memory was much sharper;
A time when men were boys
And life was joyous and fun?
We had the world to gain
And only our lives to lose.
Now you don't even have that.
All that's left is this sorrow,
This massive lump of heartache.
Roll the dice one more time,
Pray for your lucky number to come up.

"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing."
--Kingsley Amis

ah those days as a youth, you've still got a lot to gain, if thats what you want.

There are enough colours in the world,
To paint your own dreams,
You won't get them,
Till you try.
