Throwaway
by Phil Cooper
So the year is drawing to a close
And I know it been a tough one
It's time to look to the future now
And see where the road is heading
And if anything it's shown me that what we have
Is fragile, it can go at any point
So say what you need to and leave it behind
Thank fuck it's over now to begin
It's all so throwaway
So throw it all away
And everyone gets to a point
Where they don't know to go left or right
And I hope you can look back and say that you've chosen
The right path at the right time
But you know that the past is not quite how you see it
And the memories are fading fast
And I won't say it's time for me to close that door
It's already slammed shut and I'm ready to shout
That...
It's all so throwaway
So throw it all away
So the nights are drawing in sooner now
And I know what I'm trying to say
That I needed you all and all I can say
Is you were with me that's all I could ask
I know I don't say it often enough
But I love you all and I need you all
You're the people I want beside me
When everything else turns to dust
But remember what life is
Remember each day is a new an brilliant time
You can do what you want
You can do what you can
Your question is important to us
by Phil Cooper
It’s OK Mr Jones, your job is quite safe
But I’m afraid you’ll have to apply for it again
It’s not quite what you planned, and we’re sure you’ll get the role
But your salary’s not quite the same
We’re very well aware of the issues that you’ll have
And we’ll deal with that if things get to sour.
But we’re sorry to announce that the questions you may ask..
… are no match for our hierarchical power.
We’ll listen to the unions and then go our own way
Because we know what’s best, and that’s what lines our pockets with gold.
And when it all goes wrong we can say that we listened to the voices of the unions
Even if we didn’t pay any mind.
In this open forum you can say what you like
We keep telling you we’re all friends here.
If you kick up any fuss, then we’ll get you on your own
And confront you with confusion and fear.
Your question is important but the answer is not, to us.

The Haiku
With an eye-catching line-up of vocals, acoustic guitar and drums, audiences are often taken by surprise at the intensity of
the sound created by such a minimal arrangement. Time spent with The Haiku leaves you in no doubt that the acoustic
guitar does not have to be a quiet instrument. What you will take away is a memory of personal songs, which manage to
speak to each individual member of the audience. Anyone who’s ever loved and lost; or been frustrated with the world; or
with the unfairness of life; or enjoyed hope for the future, will appreciate what The Haiku have to offer. http://www.

Nerves On A Pin
by Phil Cooper
So listen to me
I know it's a maybe
But please can't you see
That maybe is me
At the end of the night
Do you question yourself
What's wrong or right
Can you see?
I wait for a day
I don't know if it's mine
If things go my way
And it's worth all the time
I invested in you
It's worth the prize
You're something brand new
Can you see?
You and me?
You tempted me in
Don't know if you meant to
My nerves on a pin
And I'm playing this through
A million times
In my head I can't stop
Can't commit other's crimes
Can you see?
You and me?
