A picture of you, a smile and a bong, We’re laughing together and singing an old fashioned song. Then something went wrong. You pushed me into the pond, under the ice. What were you thinking? I’ve already been baptised. Now that wasn’t nice. Since you’ve been gone, I’ve been safe, I’ve been sound, I’ve been good. All those magical times …
Victim of Crime
You can see but you can’t accept it No matter how I try to illustrate The books are closed So there’s no point in asking Why did you go? And now I’m looking at the empty boxes You left your fingerprints all over the walls How could you be so bloody careless Because now I know You stole my collection …
Counting Without Numbers
You can count me in You said it right in front of your jealous siamese twin Who’s going to take it on the chin Praying on your knees Doesn’t call for such profanities And such blasphemous deeds You’re asking me to settle down Then you run away right out of the town And you telephone to say you’re lost And …
Out of Tune
When the only thing on your mind Is the failure you left behind And the words you could have said better Fade away quietly like musty old letters When you’ve come to the end And the world doesn’t want complications There’s a soul and a friend Kind of hanging around Looking for something to mend Looking beyond the point of …
It’s Coming Together
It’s nearly a week and I’ve not been to sleep And I’ve not got a reason to now Because now that I’ve joined up the dots I can see what you are Sun, sea and grains of beautiful sugar That’s what you are The moon and the stars, Venus and the others Creasing me up as you walk up the …
Stop Following Me
Is that a gun in your hands Or are you pleased to see my plans? Well here you go, you can have them all Read them till you’re blind Because I’m going to change my hair and what I wear I’m going to change my lock and keys You can do what you like You can do whatever you please …
We’ve Got to Plug You In
I got us tickets to a fourth dimension We got them free from a man in London Yeah he was going off a recommendation He said he’d really like to speak to you But you’re just sitting in a broken armchair Oh won’t you even look me in the eye yeah? Now are you going to say anything yeah? Oh …
Kaleidoscope
I wash my dirty window in my sleep I wake up and I mess it up again You don’t know I’m here You don’t know the measures that I take to keep you here But hello it’s my pleasure To see this transformation in this room A canvas comes to life and starts to bloom You don’t know that I’ve …
Deep Sea Diver
This is the last of the locks I’m fixing before I start on something new and now your clothes are armour plated and there’s a wardrobe full of deep sea diver suits The lengths that I must go to, to keep the flies away but now you’ll be ok You’ve got a year’s supply of produce take it easy and …
When the Stars Fall from Grace
She said she doesn’t like sugar so why do you say that sweetness makes the lover and then you told her she reminds you of your mother and she doesn’t like butter so why do you slide around under those covers melting through her hands and down the gutter She’s not biting cos she don’t like it when it’s rare …
