mister castledine (co-written with Tayeb Tyy & Ali Nour)

(hey babe! no reference to ur old man!!)

1.
4ever 4gotten
faceless mister castledine
just yearning 4 a simple life
of warm summer design
every day dawn delivers
a sack full of just hoping
i apologise mister castledine
4 the life that u lead

chorus
sleep well dear mister
dear mister castledine
sleep well in ur semi
of cardboard design
how long do ur tears
have 2 burn so cold 4u
as life slips away
through the poverty
of a plentiful world

2.
living ur life
lonely & undiscovered shadows
with a love that should shine
crying 4 the chance 2 restart
every day ur thoughts
only bring u dark & grey clouds
covering & shading
ur once proud heart

chorus

3.
as the regular guy
shuts the front door behind him
kisses his wife
nights so safe & so warm
tears roll down the face
of every mister castledine
sitting down 2 no dinner
dirty clothes tattered & worn

chorus

4.
hot food on the table
4 the lucky & fortunate
but a sad mister castledine
2 weak 2 sit on no chair
dinner 4 the mouth
of the homeless mister castledine
is a stomach full of nothing
except hurt & despair

chorus

5.
the bank of society
full of plenty 4 every1
bundles of notes & coins
shamefully fall 2 the floor
bringing shame 2 the wallet
of the suits & the greedy
but mister castledine & his family
go hungry once more

chorus

6.
as u lay ur head
on the cool of ur pillow
just 4 2night
even if u don't believe
close ur eyes
say a prayer
4 each mister castledine
open the door
& i'll meet u there

chorus
