Old Fools

It’s over now
Our songs are lost
I’ll fold into a new disguise
And wonder what life is like
Instead of what light might like
We’re old fools
But I’m younger now
And my food supply is warm
There’s blood on my mobile phone
Was it me or my lip
Questioning it?
Your arms: hold me and calm me down
Your eyes: kiss me till I paralyze

Sue said
If you want to get in my pants
You'll have to get in my head
And if you get in my head
Then I might give you my heart
Joe said
If you want to get to my heart
You'll have to get in my bed
And then I'll give you my head
To see you open your soul
Jane said
Why don't you come to my house
So you can build me a home
And then you'll give me a kid
So I don't feel so alone
Tom said
Why don't you move some place near
So we can hang out at night
We’ll have friends over for beer
Then fool around till it's light
They all said
I need you to tend to
All the stories I've heard
Of what I want in my life,
So you stay happy and near
//
If there's a fault line in your eyes
It'll be where love is
Because that's where life is
Though half of it is disguise
If expectations crown your mind
They'll make you dress up
To cater to the world
A side dish to your soul
//
Sue said
I've had enough of this shit
He's just a dick out of love
Jane replied, yes I know
Tom’s the same, I've had enough
So when we've finished this song
Why don't you get in my bed
Fuck them and try me instead
Joe said
Oh Tom I can't get enough
Do you think they're onto us
At the start of this song
She wouldn't leave me alone
Asking after my heart
But I wouldn't know where to start
My heart is not in my head
It’s yours till I'm dead
They all said
I need you to tend to
All the stories I've heard
Of what I want in my life,
So you stay happy and near

Coy

I don't talk too much cos I seldom sing
Have to wait too long to know what's at stake
What state is this that feels like a sting
Like a bee in bloom ushering ceilings and walls
Seeking flight in a meter
We're coy
Voices lying in pieces
Crying to collect you as well as me
So if you are dying to return,
Burn into my right arm
Come on
Come and get me
Or I'll come and get you

Stranger Creatures

Cutting like a steel wave
Jumping through my eyes
Right into my torso
Biting into my spine
I'm jerking like a mad dog
You're feasting on my lungs
I'm scratching like a leper
As you linger round in my veins
You're sailing on a suitcase
While I'm packed in a microwave
I'm turning in a black hole
While you're smiling in a photo
That I'm seeing on my laptop
//
Are you ever gonna come back home?
My heart is in the freezer
Next to the chickpeas
Waiting for a reason

The Gardener

When Jane woke that day, the house was on fire
Jack was away, she must’ve let the gas on
She ran downstairs, the smoke was crippling
Her eyes were watering, even more than before
She called out his name although she knew he wasn’t there
What can one say, you know that hearts have their ways
She ran into the kitchen, her shelter from flames
She glanced at her stove but it wasn’t on
What had been on?
What was on?
Was there anything still on?
Our time would awake on a Sunday
lying in while the gardener outside mowed the lawn
and cleared all those weeds in the back
As the heat drove her cries she yanked and pulled at the front door
But it too wouldn’t budge so she sank to the floor
Her eyes cold, from what she’d seen before her
Oh, Jack was the door.
Jack was at the door smiling
Complacently
Admiring what a good job he’d done

As the Eye to the Brow

Hallowed gold
Pumping our eyes full of dreams
We have to unlearn to see
With our mind
So we can see with our eyes
This world
Our world
Is sold
Every day on the marketplace
A means to an end that ends
Just eyes see us
Only minds see lust
Peace is the proof that love is truth
So honour us
The first you kill
Is always the second you kill
It’s just as hard to learn to love as it is to hate
It just goes the other way
Learning
Our own
Thinking
Have you heard, little bird
Please teach us a song

Springtime in Wintertime
04:29
|

|
Lying in your sun as the day wept
Basking in your moon till the rays leapt
When you come out the rain stops
When you come in my mind drops
//
But when your star is too far from my orbit
My craving just won’t stop complaining
Like foam on a reef
In a storm with no teeth
//
Waiting for your love in the windstream
Until landfall everything is but a dream
When you arrive, a square becomes a ball
You are the perfume to my alcohol
