The world is pissing wet through,
I’m stranded on the isle amid the blue,
We made a house a home,
Like it’s all, all we know to do.
I left the city for this valley new,
I haven’t tired of admiring the view,
Of floodplains where I reside beneath plane trails in an otherwise clear sky,
I won’t leave here,
I won’t leave here.
In ten thousand days or more,
I barely moved from my source at the sea’s shore,
We’ve made a house a home
And joined with the other settled scores.
I left the city for this valley new,
I haven’t tired of admiring the view,
Chiselled name on a headstone
Of this town, welcomes in the new.
I won’t leave here,
I won’t leave here.
Yes I wonder why, this place feels right, to call my own well I just know
And over time this place feels bright so I know
Yes I wonder why, this place feels right, to call my own well I know
I won’t leave here

I don’t know if you know you’re no good,
I think by now it may course through your blood,
You’re all you ever think of most of the time,
You’re all you ever think of most of the time – it’s all you need.
Character flaws, I badly draw in 2D,
It’s not hard to forgive if you lose trust in memories so easily,
Hooked and lined up,
No escape to the sea,
You’ll share your life with her so fleetingly – cause it’s all you need.
You’re like an album with one good song – you draw me in but then I wish I was gone,
You’re like a record with one good track – you drag me back but only for so long.
You’re like an album with one good song – you draw me in but then I wish I was gone,
You know I work hard to be such company
If I am a leech then don’t blame me if you bleed
Party parasites need a host can’t you see
Try walking a mile in my shoes – they’re too small but they were free
Well I take it easy
You’re like an album with one good song – you draw me in but then I wish I was gone,
You’re like a record with one good track – you drag me back but only for so long,
You’re like an album with one good song – you draw me but then I wish I was gone.
(They say a small dose is well and fine but before too long you will change your mind)
You’re like a record with one good track – you drag me back before I realise I was wrong,
(They say a small dose is well and fine but before too long you will change your mind)
You’re like an album with one good song – you draw me in but then I wish I was gone.

A memory like the English summer sun,
It’s always past; won’t last too long,
A hazy warmth if you get some,
Then a shadow’s cast and it’s gone.
Now it’s cold out…….. though I recall the sun’s glow, it’s cold outside
Though It’s cold out, the feeling has gone – it just goes, it’s cold ouside
(So, soft light, can I keep a flicker of this life,
Let me hold on to moments I don’t think I’ll ever remember right,)
(So, lost life, can I keep a flicker of this light,
Remembered in half; flawed and slight, I can never hold on tight,)
Can’t get back to the year of the cow,
Live in the moment, live for the now,
Well what else can I do? I’m stuck here anyhow…..
Now it’s cold out though I recall the sun’s glow it’s cold outside
(So, soft light, can I keep a flicker of this life,
Let me hold on to moments I don’t think I’ll ever remember right,)
Can’t dwell on things I can’t keep …. Walk on little feet
(Happy hello means sad goodbye)
Can’t dwell on things I can’t keep …. Walk on little feet
(From lullabies to coffin flies)
Walk on little feet under the sun,
A camera lifts the moment’s gone,
My memory may not be strong,
Though I’ll enjoy remembering it wrong.

A Wild Look

A wild look you could realise,
Your plans now they’re no longer pluralised.
Although I know I know when it’s time to let go,
I was sorry you were leaving.
Feet of crows and laughter lines,
Collected up to pass good times – gone,
And though I owe more than I could show,
That’s all if we’re not believing.
And if I ever see you – it’s only in dreams.
And if I ever see you – just memories.
It’s not real,
It’s not real.
A wired glint still in your eyes,
Tired out, the light I recognised was solarised,
Your soul arrived where I do not know a soul.
I was glad that you were leaving.
And if I ever see you – it’s only in dreams.
And if I ever see you – just memories
It’s not real,
Unless it feels real.

In your way,
It amuses me, so choosy, you cut loose and lose, you’re restless like the sea.
A waste of time
To wait there patiently
While I kind of cared for you
You were sort of loving me
You’re desperate like a wrestler,
In Royal Rumble III – Ted Dibiase,
First one in – clutching on to grappling with an oily grasp on all that you can see.
Wasted time,
In light of fecundity,
While I kind of cared for you,
You thought of leaving me.
Do you saddle up?
Or do you settle down?
In constant pursuit of the joy you’ve known before,
Do you saddle up or do you settle for?
A waste of time
To wait there patiently
While I kind of cared for you
You were sort of loving me
I was in your way.

Tired Lady

I spoke up and I said all I could say,
Without speaking down,
You never leave this town for long,
I don't think this place has done you wrong.
Tired lady I don't blame you,
but his telescope mind’s always focused
On the light of a past left behind
Do you think in some other town you'd feel right?
Do you think in some other town there's just light?
You never leave this town for long,
I don't think this place has done you wrong.
Tired lady, well I don't blame you,
But you're wasting your time on him lately
He froze looking backwards through time
Well I'm sorry that you feel you're being ignored,
But it never rains it pours another cry of wolf
Oh lord I'm so bored
Well I think if you leave here tonight,
Then you think that it's going to be alright
Well, you know I don't
Cause you never return as anyone else.
Tired lady I don't blame you,
But you know the truth isn’t kind
He’s still focused on the light of a past left behind
Tired lady, she can't save you,
But I hope that someday you'll find,
A place in your mind,
that isn't down deep and dark as a mine.

‘A wild boar’?
Well I’m sure you can explain it, cause I’m not sure I’m right,
Grind you down, until you’re too tired,
I feel like a thorn in your side,
In time, You’d drain the colours from the sky
You’re like a slow, sapping sigh,
Bleach me white and bleed me dry
Until every light’s gone.
But this love is all I know
With this love I cannot grow
But my love I can’t let go
Plain sailing,
You don’t see that as a failing
Not every plane needs to take flight
Then stay the same until your every night’s gone
Till every light’s gone
You know that I’ll change
I know that you won’t
If you’d stay…I’d be a ghost by your side
You know that I’ll change
You know that I won’t
You know that I won’t
You know that I’ve changed
You know that I won’t
I won’t stay….be a ghost by my side
Well you know that I’d change
You know that I don’t
She knows
Well I know
Be a ghost by my side

You tried to make it
Don’t know where you are,
You tried to make it
Don’t know where you are,
Who knows where you are?
Marisol they called you – gone
Marisol’s unknown
Marisol well they saw you – gone
Marisol’s got no words
You will always be outrun
When you are running from the sun
And you were hanging from the gun
‘Cause you would never make it there
From wherever you begun
Already knew that you were all sung up, hung and gone.
Oh for another song
Could your heartbeat still
Oh well they don’t last long
Shadows circling in Sonoran sun
You tried to make it
Don’t know who you are
You tried to make it
Don’t know who you are
Who knows where you are?
Marisol they called you – gone
Marisol’s unknown
Marisol well they saw you
Who’s Marisol well god knows…
Marisol well they saw you – gone
Marisol’s got no-one
Marisol’s got no world

You sang yourself to sleep
Keep your heart pure and sweet heart your sweet heart
You closed your eyes to disappear
You know nothing my dear to fear your sweet heart forever
This little girl I feel as though it’s as if I’ve known you forever
We watched the storm go
You asked me for one more show,
Well I’m good but I couldn’t make it so.
Love is, Love is all that you know
Love is love is all that I know
Forever - This little girl I feel as though it’s as if I’ve known you forever
And time
Don’t move too slow
All that matter’s lost
But doesn’t go
Well I know I couldn’t watch your glow, grow forever.
Love is, love is all that you know,
It’s hardest to hold on and let go.
Only a spark
And you are free from the dark
And I believe that your spark
Keeps me from barrel-bottom dark
Keep me from barrel-bottom dark

Don’t leave me tonight alone – don’t go
A little lost is where I’m found
Cause you pick me up but you’re so down
And if I find what’s on your mind
I hope you don’t mind what I find
Free – frozen in starlight or ground below
A little lost is where I’m found
I hear in your voice the sweetest sound
You left behind your saddest mind
If I mine enough I find sunshine
In songs - still sun - sunshine
In songs – red blood warm - as sunshine
Free – you froze in the starlight

Forget
07:40

Keep moving forward,
If only in time,
Sometimes frustrated,
By these single lines,
Don’t you forget,
All that you know,
I try not to forget all that I know,
Inverted perspective,
The further I go,
From these odd, grim reminders,
I let the smallest things grow.
Don’t you forget,
Those who made you who you are,
Cause it goes, closed I suppose you just forget,
It isn’t far….
If there’s only stony silence on the other side (I hope I don’t fall)
Then all that I have are the trails you left behind (back and focus on nothing at all)
I keep you in mind, in my dreams you still have time (I hope I don’t fall)
You never know exactly how far you’re along the line (back and focus on nothing at all)
[Middle Eighty!]
Keep moving forward,
If only in time,
I try to stay grateful
For this single line,
As I find myself sandwiched with kin,
Between the basket and the bin,
If I could stay paused here forever,
Then I’d win.

Yeah no yeah no
Yeah no yeah yeah
Got to stay
Got to stay away
From breath to breeze
From source to seas
Give out until
You’re on your knees
Steer your heart
And you are free
From love diseased
A sweet release
Yeah no yeah no
Yeah no yeah yeah
