Favourite Poetry/Song Lyrics

From here you can read some of my favourite poetry and song lyrics. I believe that songs can often be pure poetry to stand alongside the great poetry of the past. I will be building this section into a catalogue of my favourite lyrics and poems and tell you what they mean to me. This will not necessarily be the meaning put on them by the authors but will explain the part each has played in my life.
