Ted Hughes
Edward James "Ted" Hughes, OM (17 August 1930 – 28 October 1998) was an English poet and children's writer. Critics frequently rank him as one of the best poets of his generation, and one of the twentieth century's greatest writers. He served as Poet Laureate from 1984 until his death.
Hughes was married to American poet Sylvia Plath from 1956 until her suicide in 1963 at the age of 30. His part in the relationship became controversial to some feminists and some American admirers of Plath. His last poetic work, Birthday Letters (1998), explored their complex relationship. These poems make reference to Plath's suicide, but none addresses directly the circumstances of her death. A poem discovered in October 2010, Last letter, describes what happened during the three days before her death.
In 2008 The Times ranked Hughes fourth on their list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".

Death Walks Behind You
by: Death SS[Atomic Rooster Cover]
[Bonus Track]
Death walks behind you,
Death walks behind you,
Lock the door, switch the light.
You'll be so afraid tonight.
Hide away from the beast,
Count the nine lives that you had.
Start to scream, shout for help,
There is no one by your side.
To forget what is done,
Seems so hard to carry on.
Death walks behind you,
Death walks behind you,
(Death walks behind you,)
(Death walks behind you.)
Luck is gone, end is near,
Bring yourself to understand,
It's your fate, or what's cast,
Point a finger at yourself.
(Death walks behind you,)
