As a poet and writer of over 1000 poems and songs, it seems I am never short of inspiration. In the last two hours whilst on a slow tram (first number 1, then number 22) in Warszawa, I wrote a new collection of lyrics called “Cup of the Earl”. I couldn’t wait to release them as I was happiest about these lyrics than most of my other poems this year. You can follow my poetry here – Jonny Blair Poetry.
Jonny Blair Poetry: Cup of The Earl (December 11th 2019)
I don’t often share my poetry on Don’t Stop Living, so here tonight randomly is my new album, “Cup of The Earl”, which I will probably put guitar to at some point and release along with 3,000 unwritten blog posts, 1000+ poems/lyrics/songs and a finished book unreleased.
All songs copyright Jonny Blair 2019.

1.She Told somebody to buy milk
She was on the phone as you do on boring Thursdays
Her mother told her not till raid the news
In a danger zone you had mine cart carnage
Great Granny says you gotta bate the blues
She went crazy
For banana milkshake
She so lazy
He learnt from her mistakes
All she did was say
How she feels everyday
She told somebody to buy milk
She could concentrate on doing routine laundry
Her window opens a new world up to you
A fireball undetected set new standards
Your only dream is sitting next to you
She so gloomy
Derelict building loyal
She got moody
Anchor anger wanker
All she did was do
What yer nat supposed till do
She told somebody to buy milk
She loved to try it so quick
She told somebody to buy milk
He basically showed her his dick
When she told somebody to buy milk
2.To Be Included In That Group
The most important thing in life
To be included in that group
The least important thing in life
To be included in that group
Whether in it or out of if, please don’t cry
3.Jurassic Chickenburger
It is just so drastic how your Jurassic chickenburger splits
Itself into an unknown lesson life conglomerate
Vinyl plastic on a coast Jurassic chickenburger dish
Meal deal trouble on your double up ventriloquist
She is fantastic moving a Jurassic chickenburger dream
On the dark sky rising bar fly catch the pigeon drift
Only at the end you lose yourself
Only at the start you saw what’s left
Only for a while you saw the child
Only in your dreams is value cheese
Jurassic chickenburger tourist
4.Four
The general rule of thumb cannot be counted on your fingers
Or hands and toes
Your apple grows
Every person on that bus pretended they were four.
They were four.
They are four.
They have been four.
They are being four.
They will be four.
5.Luck of the Draw
You woke up in Beirut
Against the dreams of your youth
Tell her nothing you saw
Was just the luck of the draw
On the crest of a wave
You don’t have time to be brave
Tell her nowhere you’ve been
Was nothing she ‘d ever seen
6.Populate the Desert
Eat up your smile
As you’ll be staying here a while
Pull down my pants
Populate the desert
This building is historic and you didn’t even know it
You were too busy flying fake paper planes
And lemon trees
Your I love yous
Fell on deaf ears
And foreign tours
All grassy like the banks by thon Wistula
Pull up a pugh
Like you marked your territory
Wipe off my grin
Populate the desert
This monument barbaric you swore that Stalin built it
You dreamed of painting skateboards as a child
In dungarees
All trouble eased
Planets erased
Communities saved
Like a land that never wanted to be
7.I Wouldn’t Recommend It
You can visit cheats
But I wouldn’t recommend it
I cannot advocate a judge in the stink of a lie
You can speak Chinese
But I wouldn’t recommend it
I cannot wait to see you everynight
8.Find A Star
Finest hour
Find a star
9.Rocky Boy
Singing rocky boy
Singing de de de
Singing rocky boy
Buddy’s a singing d
I saw rocky boy
He was a singing d
He was a singing d
He was a singing d
Buddy’s a singing d
Buddy’s a singing d
10.Randomic Hilarity
It actually starts
Instrumental
Opening Line
Verse
Bridge
Chorus
Guitar Solo
Repeat some of it but not all of it
It prepares to end
Fade out
It officially ends
11.Countries That Don’t Exist
Sealand Upland
The Adammic Empire
Austenasia
The Lagoan Isles
Podjistan
Artsakh
The Kingdom of Romkerhall
San Escobar
The Untied Queendom
The Untied States of America
The Sovereign Military Order of Malta
Wash your hands with blood in countries that don’t actually seriously realistically exist
12.Willy Bikeland
Pinch a gun from an oil rig
And kill the germs of life
13.Marchewczyk (To Play Carrot)
Hey carrot hey sweet carrot
You’re so pretty I could dance with you
Hey carrot hey sweet carrot
You’re so lovely I could date with you
Marchewczyk, Słodky marchewczyk
Jesteś taka ładna, że mógłbym z tobą zatańczyć
Marchewczyk, Słodky marchewczyk
Jesteś taka piekna, że mógłbym z tobą zatańczyć
When I was young I dreamed just to play carrot
Kiedy byłem dzieckiem, marzyłem tylko o grze w marchewkę
When we grow up we decided to play carrot
Kiedy dorastaliśmy, postanowiliśmy grać w marchewkę
