“The A Team”, by Ed Sheeran, is a moving song about a young woman addicted to Crack Cocaine. The gentle melody is in stark contrast to the words of the song. It is, surely one of Sheeran’s best songs.

I Know A Young Lady Called Lin
I know a young lady called Lin
Who plays my violin.
At night she plays
And the vicar says
That tis a most terrible sin.

The Musician’s Lover
“O sweet musician
Lead me not into perdition
For the lay
You play
Has carried many a man away.
Your tune
‘Tis over soon
And those who do you adore
Are left wanting more.
The beat
Of your feet
Has led many a man astray.
The song you play
Leaves men weak
And unable to speak
Save in grunt and moan.
We men can not leave it alone.
Though the wise amongst us know
That there is no rest
To be found on the breast
Of the musician who will play
A sweet lay
For a damned soul’s pay.

While I don’t have my own internet radio station, I do post recordings of many of my poems on Youtube. To visit my Youtube channel please go:

Listening to the Radio
A young woman, on the radio, sings of crushes
And how love comes and goes.
Heaven knows
She spares no blushes
Regaling me with her affairs.
A song light as air
That passes over where
The party goers play.
Today
It is the tune of this nubile
Girl
To which the dancers twirl.
There may be a denial
That this constitutes art.
I, for my part
Find in her voice, a pleasant enough warble
Over which to dordle
As I bathe and shave
Leonard Cohen
