To Richey

When the humming of nothing becomes louder than life
And the vultures are circling
I listen to your misery and I'm instantly saved
I hope you found the escape you craved
I'm glad I found your Holy Bible

There once was a welshman named Richey
His arms were incredibly itchy
So he took out his knife
And carved for his life
Which made Steve Lamaq go all twitchy

There once was a man called Richey Edwards
Who's lyrics were better than Jedward's
He got bit by a midge
Fell off a bridge
These days his band are dead wood.

(bit harsh?)

Mine's a haiku called 'Sadface'.

One last memory

No glamour there

Rich, I blame you for Send Away The Tigers
And Postcards From A Young Man
You were so selfish to desert us
And leave the band in Nicky's hands

Rubbish at guitar
In band to drive the car
Collage isn't art
Hair metal spare part
Eventually disappeared
Yet to grow a beard

There once was a lyricist called Richey
Who's lyrics were considered to be quite deep
He went missing, not deceased
Before "Casino" was released
So the best film he ever saw remains "E.T".

This one's called 'Shit Rechy Poems 'R' Us'

Richey, you brought us a bible
And one the die-hards cherish
If only you had stayed
Rather than visit 'the fish'

There was a young man from Blackwood,
Who drank booze as much as he could.
In Norwich one evening,
He got rather steaming,
And slashed 'til Lamacq saw his blood.

yeah, it's really unfair. there are two Jedwards and, as Nicky has strived to prove frequently, there was only one Richey Edwards. 2 vs 1 is hardly fair.

i do wonder what Richey would do now,
would he have a troubled or happy brow?
would he embrace twitter, more popular than Stephen Fry
or would he look at phones held up at gigs and simply cry?
would he abandon the label and give the music for free,
or would he appease the bands' monetary plea?
would he happily have played on Autumnsong,
or torn up the lyrics and burned them in a bong?
would have have cared for the events of 9/11,
what would he say to the bombers of July 7?
surely Jackie Collins he would insist as a single,
with the top of the chart the band would surely mingle
all i know is gone is the steam from this crap rhyme,
and so it leaves, just like you in your prime.

Richey had eyes like a panda
His songs were boarderline slander
Sick of being alive
He went for a drive
And off the bridge he did meander.

Every cloud has a silver lining!

(Mean that in a 'Miss you Richey, we always will, but the band are making ace music still!' sort of way!)

More words saved your band from ruin
To dissapear made the Brits a shoe-in
Journals and postcards no comparison
You must wonder why they carry on?
Hitting brick walls with no ideas
A mention of you pricks up their ears
Would you be laughing out loud
If you had heard 'Rock 'n' Roll Genius'?
A plan for 70 songs to change their ways
Come back richey so the band can be saved
