| » 6am Corner « |
Sunlight blooms and falls through your window
There's nothing wrong with the day
I hear a creak, of letting in shadows
Let's sit and hear what they say
You and I can be quiet
Sat still in the corner
Let none in here but the dawn
I wish I was tired but sleep has gone walking
And your talking has no aim
But just as you are
Lets just sit looking I know we can see things the same
Eyes in space coloured trace
None to catch us
As the night slides away
I hear Daryl's voice come through the wall
Sweet talk is under her head
To lie with a man might keep me together
I hope I never say that again
For my one is the one
Who'll never be found
Like some queens crown in the sand |
| » Innocent When You Dream « |
The bats are in the belfry
The dew is on the moor
Where are the arms that held me
And pledged our love before
And pledged our love before
And it's such a sad old feeling
The leaves are soft and green
It's memories that i'm stealing
But you're innocent when you dream, when you dream
You're innocent when you dream
I made my love a promise
That we would never part
I gave to her a locket
And then I broke her heart
And then I broke her heart
And it's such a sad old feeling
The leaves are soft and green
It's memories that I'm stealing
But you're innocent when you dream, when you dream
You're innocent when you dream
Running through the graveyard
We laughed my friends and i
We said we'd be together
Until the day we die
Until the day we die
And it's such a sad old feeling
The leaves are soft and green
It's memories that I'm stealing
But you're innocent when you dream, when you dream
You're innocent when you dream |
| » Come With Me « |
Come with me darling
I'll show you something
We've waited long enough till now
Let's do something about it
Come with me darling
There's no more talking
We've stayed up til it's nearly dawn
Let's make ourselves warm
Taken by the tide way out to sea
Past the friends that we used to be
We've talked all evening about being free
Now we're moving close
Come with me darling
I'll show you something
We've waited long enough till now
Let's do something about it
People been leaving in dribs and drabs
Leaving the sleeper who's blocking the stairs
If we go any further we can't go back
What do you want to do
Come with me darling
It's nearly morning
The birds are waking up for us
They're singing for us
Come with me darling
Come with me darling |
| » Before It Goes « |
Two of us laughing hard on a chair
Tomorrow we're strangers going nowhere
Let's capture this feeling and drink it down
Before it goes
Doors just opened without a push
What was our whole world ran out with the rush
Might be the last time I hold you tight
Before it goes
Two of us laughing hard on a chair
I picture you always with me there
Let's capture this feeling and hold you hard
Before it goes
Before it goes
Before it goes |
| » Blue Fields « |
Blue fields blue fields
Seeds that I've never seen are growing
Leaves that I've never seen are showing
In the blue fields blue fields
Fish that I've never seen are swimming
Selfish people are now giving in the
Blue fields blue fields
Dandelion seeds are flying up in the air
Birds are running across the grass
Dandelion seeds are showing us the time
While worms show their faces at last
Blue fields blue fields
Seeds that I've never seen are growing
Leaves that I've never seen are showing
Fish that I've never seen are swimming
Selfish people are now giving in the
Blue fields
Blue fields |
| » Frame « |
I used to be a picture on your wall
You'd look at me everyday
No I'm locked up with nowhere to go
You've taken me out of your frame
A masterpiece rolled under a bed
What are your hands going to say
Do the walls shiver now they're bare?
Do the brass hooks ache for weight?
Get out your pens and draw me again
You can make it up
Make me young make me dance
Give me all that I want
What am I if I'm not looked at by you?
Will I disappear?
Will the colours stay brighter in the dark?
Is this just like being preserved?
Look at that picture on a hotel wall
Seen by lonely eyes
Don't go into hotels looking for dreams
Don't go into them with thoughts of your life
Get out your pens and draws me again
You can make it up
Make me young make me dance
Give me all that I want |
| » Grey Goes « |
With my big net
I'm catching colours
I've caught a red one
And trapped a deep blue
I found green hiding behind a big bush
And a yellow has heard me coming through
I've looked in shadows and tapped on walls
Went to school to find a uniform
But I can't see where all the grey goes
I swallowed purple
When you left me
I threw orange back into the sea
I used black and white
On how you hurt me
And buried pink
To stop reminding me
I've looked in shadows and tapped on walls
Melted storm clouds to find out where they grey goes
All along
The grey was in me
The grey was in me
The grey was in me
Grey was in me... |
| » Weather Forever « |
Today the weather stopped
Mixed up all the words
And people just made noise
To fill the sky and hear their voice
Today the silence came
As thick as fog
It zipped the ground
The night came quicker
And we closed the back door
Locked it till next summer time
Oh lover, oh lover
I wish forever could be forever
Oh lover, oh lover
I wish forever could be forever
Rugged as the rocks that grow
Your face a precious stone
Kissed it cold to watch it warm
Open and kind as if you were just born
Oh lover, oh lover
I wish forever could be forever
Oh lover, oh lover
I wish the weather could be forever
Oh lover, oh lover
I wish forever could be forever
Oh lover, oh lover
I wish the weather could be forever |
| » Shoulders « |
Shoulders lean on a wall
Shadow a doorway
To nowhere at all
The sky has no surface
So you look at the floor
Eyes tire out when
You're searching for more
The crook of your shoulder is where I belong
The crook of your shoulder is where I belong
The crook of your shoulder
Like a fancy domed clock
Moves the sky over time
Looking behind me when you're only in my mind
Searching is endless
When there's nothing to find
Someone brushed past me
My name shouted out
The voice in my head when
I'm walking about
Endlessly searching
To figure it out
The crook of your shoulder is where I belong
The crook of your shoulder is where I belong
The crook of your shoulder
Like a fancy domed clock
The sky is a circle
Days are repeated
Around over time
Instead of beginnings
The clock ticks on and through
And through and through and through
And through and through and through |
| » Armchair « |
Love me like an armchair
Hang me up on your wall
Put me under your pillow
Put me up in the hall
Open me like a door
Like a window you can see through
I'll sweeten you like sugar
When the world has been fucking with you.
I'm not going anywhere
With your pepper at tea
Grow me bug in your garden
Sail me off on your sea
I'm the gold in your filling
I'm the glue on your shoe
I'll sweeten you like sugar
When the world has been fucking with you
If I make myself small
You can take me with you
I'll sit quiet in your pocket fix the holes up for you
Be your street map your bible
And your ticket ride home too
I'll sweeten you with sugar
When the world has been fucking with you
I'll sweeten you with sugar
When the world has been fucking with you |
| » Rolling Down « |
All the little tears are rolling down
But they won't make a river or a frown
Life's a string of goodbye's and hello's
But when it's hanging in mid air where can it go
When we turn around who'll be walking
When we turn around who'll be running
You closed the clasp that finished a chain
And put the ring around my neck again
It's not a sign an answer or a promise
It's just hanging there being honest
When we turn around who'll be walking
When we turn around who'll be running
When we turn around who'll be walking
When we turn around who'll be running |

Books that are written
And books that are read
Do nothing to help
Just sit by a bed
You can switch on the news
Hear it twenty four hours
The world's at an end
Because people want power
When all of this
Sits heavy on you
Why is it life can come
Glistening through
Where did you get
All of the good things in you |
| » Holes In Your Life « |
One day I'll fit all the pieces together
Then I can put the box back on the shelf
If only my life would fit into the corners
I'd slot back the shapes that make me myself
The holes in your life
Maybe it's the only way the light gets in
One day the days and the nights will have meaning
Then I can get my diary out
While I am writing my beautiful sonnets
The sunlight and moonlight will all scream out
The holes in your life
Maybe it's the only way the light gets in
The holes in your life
Maybe they're the best bits
A mystery to me and a wonder to you
A place for the future for something that's new
One day I'll fit all the pieces together |
