1993 - I FIND I'M DISINHERITED

Will it get me closer to memories
that tease then melt away like snow flurries?
A brother not seen in seventeen years.
What awaits me? Probably heartache, tears.

You enter the hotel confidently.
I'm like an old banger to your Bentley.
Why is it you have this effect on me?
Yours a first class, mine a tin pot degree.

You say we've both done things we should regret.
The past is like a burned out cigarette.
Everything was to be shared equally
but mum's will was changed in seventy three.

How it started you easily forget.
Nothing more than writing off a bad debt.
Leaving what you said exposed as a lie.
I need an answer to one question - why?
