Lights Shine
I live with a stack of memories
And a faint hearted man who’s in love with the power
That a good man intends to pass on
I wallow in delusions of grandeur
Of a life that I have seldom seen
And I’ve got to get out now
Would you take me out tonight?
Take me into town
Take me out drinking
Take me where the lights shine
This town is like my life
The lights have changed but the front runner’s stalling
I have a withered soul
Will I ever make it to die?
And I have just seen a ghost in the hall
Got to get out now
Would you take me out tonight?
Take me into town
Take me out drinking
Take me where the lights shine

Juggernauts
We’ve been missing each other at close quarters
Passing like ships, we’re more like juggernauts
I still carry a piece of paper
Battered and torn now after all these years
On it are words you once believed in
Always means at all times
Always means in all circumstances
Always, that’s when I love you
No more
Hey there darling
How you doing?
It’s been so long
You know that I…
I’m doing just fine
What’s new darling?
Where you going?
It’s been so long
You know that I…
I’m doing just fine
I’m making a mark on the paper
And that’s all mine
I’m getting us out of this city
Gonna make my own time
Hey there darling
How you doing?
It’s been so long
You know that I…
I’m doing just fine
I’m fine
I’m doing just
I….I’m doing just…
Fine.

Surrogate Funeral
A death worth dying is a death hard won
You were a child of god
And your father’s son
I walked for an hour by the river’s run
To cry for the dying and what I’d become
And yes I feel alone
Though I’m with you
I feel alone right now
Though I’m with you
I broke my silence, I broke my vow
I’m breaking everything that’s good right now
Will you hate me, will you care
Tear up all the thoughts of the past we share
And yes I feel alone
Though I’m with you
I feel alone right now
Though I’m with you
The phone is too quiet, have you really gone
I wouldn’t blame you for a second after what I’ve done
The things I’ve said the things I‘ve not
The strength to mourn the love we’ve got
And yes I feel alone
Though I’m with you
I feel alone right now
Though I’m with you

Toy Shark
Pay for the privilege
Of having the time
Silence oh silence
The quiet to your noise
Shore up a smile in the rain
Powder on up
Rebuild illusionary you
Boys in the sand
Before and to come
Keep a safe distance
Run. Run. Run.
Evenings, secrets, plans
Who would have thought?
But never breach the parapet
Never take what’s not yours
The obvious decision
Compadre in plastic form
But those teeth will never bite
This hand, just lay scorn
Boys in the sand
Before and to come
Keep a safe distance
Run. Run. Run.
At the mercy of the players hands again, always
Rain on roof releases
But time is a-failing
Boys in the sand
Before and to come
Keep a safe distance
Run. Run. Run.

Burning

Burning
Burning all manner of things
Burn the thought of you
But still you’re a-flame
Still you’re in mind, and dazzle
Speechless wonder of my eye
Speeding so slowly
Towards your desired end
Where does it take you?
How can I save you?
No kindness or comfort is here
The table’s empty
Still you want it and need it
But you’ll forsake it, and bleed for it
Leave me out in the cold
Shaking like those days
When I was behind
Always the follower of things
Where does it take you?
How can I save you?

Farewell My Lovely
05:00

Farewell my lovely
I was thinking that maybe we wouldn’t make work for 9
Wondering if you and I could take some time…
...out to make everything alright
‘Cause you know it’s not alright
Sometimes you seem so naked and bare
In the softness of sleep that follows you there
Or you can be cold, cold as the ashes of love
Remembering
You say, baby we’re out of time
You say, baby we’re out of time
We’re just treading water
Maybe we’ll make it next time
Where did the days go
The months, the years
What became of our hopes, dreams, our fears
It’s alright I know now
The dreams are all mine
You say, baby we’re out of time
You say, baby we’re out of time
We’re just treading water
Maybe we’ll make it next time
You come home berated
You didn’t make work for 9
But I can’t help but notice that sparkle in your smile
I’m thinking that maybe things will be fine
This time
You say, baby we’re out of time
You say, baby we’re out of time
We’re just treading water
Maybe we’ll make it next time

Electric Night

Electric Night
Lie here looking out the failed glass all night
Sodium glow, weary eyes
But damn it’s bright
And it’s cold without you here
Even on this electric night
I’m reading you and lie
Lie dying here
I’m reading you and lie
Lie...do you read me too?
And you say - ‘cause you always were the one to say -
That my sky’s changing
But who the hell are you to tell me?
About the things above when I know more
And I’m the one who’s looking up
I’m reading you and lie
Lie dying here
I’m reading you and lie
Lie...do you read me?
Kiss and die with just one name in your pocket
Learn from ones before and let me go now too
Without ever knowing more
‘Cause there really is no point
I’m reading you and lie
Lie dying here
I’m reading you and lie
Lie...do you read me too?

Those Dudes
You say you’re grieving
You say you’re cold
Spring falls around you
As Winter has found you
Those dudes they love you
Though you put them through hell
Locked doors won’t hide you
Clenched jaws won’t quiet you
You say you’re back on track
But your eyes say I’m talking crap
Grease on your window
And your truths lay far and wide
Those dudes they love you
Though you put them through hell
Locked doors won’t hide you
Clenched jaws won’t quiet you
Fog swirls around and round
And your eyes they nurse the ground
Like an old friend you slept with
Like an old maybe, once ago
Those dudes they love you
Though you put them through hell
Locked doors won’t hide you
Clenched jaws won’t quiet you

Motorbikes
Why isn’t just being
Enough to make us be?
I don’t believe in anything
Just here and now and me
Pinned my eyes open
While they stitched her up
But I won’t watch again
I know this script so well
But my part’s changed
Last night I built a church around us
Perfect spheres of our blood reflecting us
Pastel homes and rusted vans
Sands are ripe for picking
Still your words are ringing out
They resonate so clearly
How do you know me?
Or am I the same?
Just like all the rest
After three days, long years
Your words, his voice
Sinister merger
Last night I built a church around us
Perfect spheres of our blood reflecting us
Should I go now...?
Your light was on
But I didn’t have the nerve to
Wasted detour
Can no-one make me right?
Your light was on
Your light was on

Sometime in Spring
Stop the clock
For yourself is in tatters
Hold on to this moment now
Make the pain last
Let me inside
Your frayed skin and broken bones
Make me a mender of things
Sometime in Spring
Revel in starlight
As the homebound comes crashing down
The best is the worst is the best
You’ll have ever felt
And once you’ve known it
You will always be free
Free to listen out loud
Sometime in Spring
