mary gal poem

I wanted to meet someone like you

And go with her to a gig

To see The Jesus and Mary Chain

In early summer 87

Just when I left school age 15

A girl like you in a short summer dress

With pale white skin

And shoulder length raven hair

Wearing your paisley dress

And then cut down faded jeans

And the t shirt from our gig

Darklands tour 1986

Only you were with me

Only you were from that time

Only you was there that day

At the gig The Jesus and Mary Chain

Now thirty years on you're a memory

And your t shirt is priceless

You still wear it at Mary Chain gigs

We became lifelong fans

And lifelong lovers

Here's to another thirty years of us

And our band

There will never be another

Not in our lives or ears
