Version control

Strong and bold, chest full of air, coat covered in dust with six shooters on his hips
Scant words on his lips, a larrikins sparkle in the eyes and concern on the brow
The hero, always ready to show them how.

Strong and bold, chest full of air, coat covered in dust with six shooters on his hips
Words fit to spit, eyes of the storm and anger in the arch
The hungry hero, in desperate need of starch

Strong and bold, chest full of lead, coat covered in dread with six shooters in his hands
Throat constricted, eyes pale and wet, face flat - expresionless
The desperate hero, not willing to confess.

Strong and bold, chest full of bluff, coat covered in fluff with six shooters of pearl
Spilling words as in a spell, eyes of warmth and teeth brilliant as the sun
The marketing hero, willing to put a price on fun

Strange feeling

Got a little shock just now, someone was gonna throw a bottle, he was gonna chuck a can.
Realised some of my best friends were racist and I probably was too
What can you do, when your parents would rather shoot you then eat tofu?

Got a little shock just now, someone was gonna go to far, he was gonna cut a man.
Realised a little to late it wasn't the best place for a date
What will she think, when I don't wear a tie or cuff-link

Got a little shock just now, I said something nice, she flashed her pearly whites
Realised all the books were right, happiness is but a fight between your body & brain
What will you say, when at the end of the que they ask "How are you"?

Got a little shock just now, I caught the hidden look, got the subtle sign.
Realised I was blind, naive and probably just plain high
What will we believe in the end, when the end is nigh, fear is rife and there appears to be nothing after life.
