  • SLEEPS ON FIRE
    Sleeps on Fire
    I’m dwelling on rocket fire
    Piano fragments and twisted strings
    Lady rag doll dead at the door
    Dementor soldier with lips so thin
    Sleep Killer’s messing with my head
    Gotta rise up get a change of thought
    Find a codeine and a TV show
    My feet are cold and my tongues like chalk
    Back in bed and it’s Mr Psycho
    Ugly boss gotta face him away
    And lady friend of the underground
    We’ll be busted yeah maybe today
    Sleeps on fire yeah
    Sleeps on fire yeah
    All the news is existential
    Who’s going to go have kids today?
    I’m rolling round my sheets are tenting
    The latest vaccine is a throat spray
    Sleeps on fire yeah
    Sleeps on fire yeah

  • HAZY OCEAN
    Hazy Ocean
    I see you at the break of day
    A flash of gold across a bay
    I watch you you’re a dolphin riding rail
    And then it comes the perfect wave
    And balancing you show the way
    Your love of life it’s written in your trail
    Hazy Ocean - you wash all over me
    And I’m diving after you
    Like the tide follows the moon
    Hazy Ocean - your spirit’s phosphorent
    And your colour’s vivid blue
    While my love is all for you
    You’re always wanting cosmic rhymes
    To come and take us for a ride
    And when they do it’s reason to believe
    There’s trust in nature’s open door
    It lets you know why you were born
    Your real life’s the script of other’s dreams
    And when you paddle to the shore
    You’re reaching out to one and all
    You know the truth that happiness is laughter
    And across the night your flame is warm
    Your star is up and all adore
    They’re crowding round
    They’re hanging from the rafters

  • COME BACK TO REAL
    I had this title – 'come back to real' – lying around unused and thought it would work with a lyric about an imaginary couple with different views on the topic . . .
    Come Back to Real
    You’re the one who found revision
    History’s just a false depiction you say
    The government’s trolling all our messages
    But it seems to me – not reality.
    Hey, I know the world ain’t perfect
    But you could make your life much more easy yeah
    Don’t buy virus is fiction claims
    Cause I’ve been to see and I know what’s real
    Come back to real
    Come back to real and free your mind - free your mind
    Come back to real
    Come back to real and love re-find - love re-find
    Come back to real – Come back to real – mmm mmm yeah
    I get up in morning n seek out the sunshine
    But you meet agents with a war to fight
    Cause RNA gonna claim your body
    What a shame you’re lost to conspiracy
    You’re a hell of lady and I’m always wanting you
    If only you could reason like the majority
    There’s a warm breeze off the ocean - come and cruise with me
    Flick the switch – and come to real

  • LOVE IN THE HOUSE
    Love in the House
    You want to move me down to that ritzy neighbourhood
    Where there’s black cars by the stables
    And the grass is hissing gently
    & you know that starchy lady there might give U half a minute
    If she thinks you come from money & our star is still ascending
    But what’s the point of that unless there’s love in the house
    Yeah what’s the point of that – gotta be love in the house
    Love in the house
    And you’d love to travel Europe get a rental by the water
    And be dining out on tapas while the Spanish waiters hover
    And the wine it tastes sabrosa and it feels like Casablanca
    As the house is warm and dreamy and the sheet is softly under
    But what’s the point of that unless there’s love in the house
    Yeah what’s the point of that – gotta be love in the house
    Love in the house
    Now my music pours from fingers upon a restless pavement
    As a lady figure lingers in the memory of encounters
    And I have her number with me but it’s war again in Israel
    So I wander to the kitchen where there’s vases full of flowers
    But what’s the point of that unless there’s love in the house
    Yeah what’s the point of that – gotta be love in the house
    Love in the house, bodies alive, moving in rhyme, love in our eyes, lighting the sky

  • UR7 FINAL FLIGHT
    UR7 Final Flight
    The tail of aviation dies,
    As engines roar and cough.
    Vapor trails once crossed the skies
    But here’s the last take off
    I stare out of my window
    And my heart sinks like the moon
    I grab your hand so tightly
    While the cabin’s like a tomb
    UR7 final flight
    We know the skies are danger now
    They had to legislate
    The flights are full of terror gusts
    So wings they bend and break
    But let’s remember odysseys
    Romantic wanderlust
    As engines start their shrieking now
    As though they speak for us
    UR7 final flight
    And which asylum beckons me
    Now that we are broke
    A girl on Spanish beaches taunts
    Those years were full of hope
    Now feel the nose start dipping down
    Towards an aerodrome
    We’ll walk to different taxi’s now
    Love’s no longer home.
    UR7 final flight

  • LAST OF THE SUMMER FLIES
    Last of the Summer Flies
    At last you have left - my insecticide is spent
    Though your screw driver voice is reverberating
    Your tongue it got bent - drilling holes in my head
    Now I’m smoothing hurts by restorative ironing
    And though they must have a role in ecosystems
    I’m so glad to see the last of the summer flies
    I’m so glad to see the last of the summer flies
    I guess you’ll find a niche – with some human who can reach
    To find that tiny star behind the grating
    Your sun first shone so bright – enough to launch a kite
    But that superficial wind was soon deflating
    And though . . . .
    It’s in the news each day
    Insects will fade away
    Unless we realise
    Every living thing has a vital place
    I wish you the very best – maybe both of us are blessed
    We were counting down our days so surely numbered
    Hey you’re not to blame – I’m dreamy and often vague
    And for the earth I’ll pray for flies now just departed

  • CAN OUR SOULS STAY TOGETHER
    Can Our Souls Stay Together
    Hey girl that was really something – truly unforgettable
    I’m staring right up at the ceiling – the air is perfectly still
    Cause I realise you’re not from here
    And your train gonna leave to your God out there
    Can our souls stay together
    Can your soul sleep another night
    Can our souls stay together
    Cause I fell in love at first sight
    But I know you
    You have to go
    Back to the keeper of the fire
    Feels like you’re going forever
    Feels like the end of my life
    I’m opening up my mind to the universe
    Will I find you out there tonight
    Cause I realise you’re not from here
    And your train gonna leave to your God out there
    Chorus
    You’re in the thick of that
    it’s all you ever had
    Wrap your fingers around
    The speaking stone
    You’ll never leave your spiritual home
    Chorus

  • YOU DON'T TALK EASY
    You Don’t Talk Easy
    Yeah, I’m all over you
    Coming by your room
    Faking accidental - as if you didn't know
    These small steps up a mountain climb
    And nothing’s going to turn back time, hey you
    I’m crawling cross this chasm that I find
    I’m trying to talk my way into your eyes
    In real life you’re quick to speak your mind
    But you don’t talk easy here tonight
    You don’t talk easy here tonight
    So fate has brought you here
    You could have moved anywhere
    But now we got these workdays to share
    With my turn of phrase suggestible
    Your face it stays imperceptible, hey you
    Chorus
    A woman like you is surely spoken for
    And who am I to dare to come between
    Warm blood is going to make me stay the course
    Like the river flows from mountain to the sea

  • EXHAUST PIPE
    Exhaust Pipe
    In the shadow of a smokestack rising eating up the air
    Kinda gritty look you give me on this street to God knows where
    We’re ducking under extrusions in the face of water walls
    At least we got each other ‘neath this sky that’s like a war
    Eye brows on the ceiling even though we got the word
    Imagining is one thing but reality’s absurd
    Part of me is chill
    And part of you is screaming
    Now that we got choked in earth’s exhaust pipe
    I can pull you closer
    You can stare me out
    It’s getting hard to breath in earth’s exhaust pipe
    Creating scenes a hotel room the balm of bodies close
    And bricks so thick to hide the world is all that we can hope
    Nose in flesh the best to hide like puppies suckling mums
    And after rain the swollen streets be scorching in the sun
    How did it come to this . . .
    I just want to love you . . .

  • FLOATING INTO WONDER
    Floating into Wonder
    Now that the border’s open - she’s on the overnighter
    Up near the universe so vivid as it’s shining brighter
    So long in isolation – We living on our phones
    But what a torture that is - needing flesh n bone
    And I’m waiting near the runway’s end
    Watching descending lights
    And that final roar overhead – hey I’m lifted so high
    And we’ll be floating into wonder (mm mm mm)
    Gifted this new path
    Cause she is out the other side of it (now we can be)
    Floating into wonder
    This kiss is never ending - senses remember her
    Flooding skin in waves - how to find the words?
    We walking tied together – in love with baggage claim
    In love with everybody – and I just say her name
    And how we’ll sing - and the car will sing
    As I bring this girl back home
    And all who love her wait in clover at the end of the golden road
    And we’ll be floating into wonder . . .
    Yeah I’m chosen one tonight ‘cause I got my lady home
