31st January 2020

When it feels like the end of an era
When it feels like trust has been betrayed
When it feels like nothing will be the same again
As we separate, as we loosen ties, against our will
No written constitution to speak of
This country is made of many parts
But numbers count, numbers win, they say
"The will of the British people."
But how much will can you really see
North of the border we're angry
North of the border we wanted no change
But north of the border are so few
Voices are hardly heard
With a government divided and sorrowful
With devolved parliaments shedding tears
With a joy that only old men celebrate
This is a new era indeed

Pippin

There's nothing else
There's no one else
For whom I would give up the world
There's nothing else
There's no one else
For whom I would go as far as I can
For you, my darling, are my heart's desire
You are my whole being
My purpose, my joy
The reason my heart beats every day
The reason I wake with a smile
I carry on in this weary would because of you
Because you bring meaning to my life
You and I
We share a connection
That can never be broken
There's nothing else
There's no one else
Whom I would happily break my heart for
