  1. Words of Mondragon (Facebook)

     

    Bravado

     

    We swapped back at school

    their music on tape

    I knew these guys rule

    my secret escape

     

    A mystical space

    that no-one would see

    three heroes for life

    and dreamers like me

     

    They gave all their heart

    for music played live

    still had their own chart

    and their turn to drive

     

    Retiring from tour

    was hard to believe

    and decades for sure

    they made them feel brief

     

    The genius behind

    the lyrics and drums

    most brilliant mind

    and wizard on toms

     

    A music's white knight

    of rare poetry

    he just lost his fight

    a brave man to be

     

    Though he rode away

    from his haunting ghost

    and chose here to stay

    when fate left him most

     

    As hard as he fought

    and stood all his fright

    he finally got caught

    went into the night

     

    Words and melody

    remain in the end

    but it feels to me

    like I've lost a friend
