  • F CHORD MAKES MY FINGERS BLEED
    F Chord makes my Fingers Bleed
    All across the plain there’s a heavy kind of drone
    And the picking has cleared the fields
    And every one’s talkin’ bout where to go next
    Some with scars on hearts to keep
    But me I ain’t gonna be running anywhere
    I got land here to put on ice
    And I’m saying it to you there’s a song to sing
    But I sense you know you gonna take flight
    Want your breath upon my face
    Neath the still of the trees
    And feel the edging of your lace
    But there’s rot in the leaves
    I been playing long and loud
    But you haven’t come around
    Now F chord makes my fingers bleed
    F chord makes my fingers bleed
    I know you’re gonna rev up your car one night
    Yeah my bones fear the ebb of your heat
    And lonely be the grip of the ice breaker days
    And the strength of the clime to beat
    Yes the warmth of your body ‘n flickering flames
    Has fled to the universe
    And nothing but pain ‘til the end of time
    As the season stiffens up the earth

  • Good Souls
    Sad to hear Rusty Young of Poco passed. Great band and I'm sure all good souls
    Good Souls
    When is this heart beat
    Going to be under skin
    I got my guard up
    Don’t know what dark you’ll bring
    You got something mmm
    That triggered a landslide
    But I never sensed
    The dead inside your eyes
    Hey good souls should be with good souls
    And bad smoke should drift away
    Yeah good souls should live with good souls
    And bad folk should make the break
    Oh sure I’ve hung on
    Wouldn’t drop you when you’re down
    Whatever bugs you
    It will always hang around
    Yeah I got a heart so I feel for you
    But the prison of your hurt I can’t steel from you
    Hey good souls should be with good souls
    And bad smoke should drift away
    Yeah good souls should live with good souls
    And bad folk should make the break
    When you find my closet’s empty hangers
    You’ll know that I cracked and abandoned. Hey . . .

  • POKER FACE
    Poker Face
    Seeing as light is fading from the centre of your eyes
    And the blog that I been posting
    Don’t change your face design
    I find I got no knowledge of the ways inside your mind
    Any feelings you have gathered are hidden by disguise
    How will I know you
    How do I get there
    What will I feel inside
    Will I be nowhere
    I’ve never seen or felt some kind of sign
    But I’m wishin’ for that magic kind of ride
    How will I know you
    How do I get there
    What will I feel inside
    Will you be elsewhere
    I’m seeing but I may as well be blind
    Your poker face is killing me inside
    I’m so ever hopeful I got sensors in my teeth
    If you favour me with meeting eyes I’m flushing red as beet
    And dissecting every phrase of yours and liberating nothing
    I got to get to you or else I’ll shrink away to stuffing

  • SCORCHED EARTH
    Scorched Earth
    I know how to blacken out the sun
    I can make the air weigh heavy
    My heartbeat smashes like a drum
    You’ve had to learn to be ready
    I’m forever not one to die wondering
    Gonna let you know when I see you bad
    Cause my spirit does shudder and drain away
    Just you having fun can make me crack
    I nail you to a cross on fire
    Blame you but it’s me who’s the liar
    How long ‘til I put this scorched earth right
    I put it on you you’re a sinner
    But that’s a lie - a fabrication
    My hang ups squirm inside a vice
    What’s going to be my salvation?
    Gotta face up to my growing up
    A family life in a hideaway
    I’s a little guy staring up at a roof
    How come I never got to laugh and play
    Yes I nail you to a cross on fire
    Blame you but it’s me who’s the liar
    How long ‘til I put this scorched earth right
    I got to lay it all out – got to apologise – love you – need you

  • About You Big Bird
    ABOUT YOU BIG BIRD
    There’s a smoky trail across the sky
    Behind you big bird as you fly
    I’m running waving both hands free
    But my mommas come to capture me
    My mom she’s got this thing you see
    About you bird we don’t agree
    She don’t like your fiery tail
    She’s gonna capture me and hide away
    Big bird flying across the sky
    I don’t know you or your reasons why
    Big bird do you come to play
    Mommas got bad things to say
    About you Big Bird
    We been here a thousand years
    Momma says that you don’t care
    Your fireworks that light the streets
    Make houses fall to dust and heat
    The baker man went yesterday
    A puff of smoke, an empty tray
    I kind of liked your flashing bomb
    But Momma ranted all night long

  • Loose Togetherness
    Loose Togetherness
    It don’t matter even if we fight
    Roll away and kick
    Talking ‘bout a split
    Tuggin’ at the duvet through the night
    Leave you in the cold
    Call you Mrs Troll
    Nothin’ like that can make a dent
    In this faithful heart
    Never not once been wavering
    I’m so much in love
    You can spend the night away and I’ll not fall apart
    Our loose togetherness is what we want
    And I can take a chill pill n go AWOL and all that stuff
    Our loose togetherness is oh so strong
    Think about you lots when you’re away
    Fall into a dream
    Holdin’ you to me
    Messaging to you my gorgeous babe
    What is that you wear
    Bet you make them stare
    And I can’t wait for your taxi lights
    Stoppin’ right outside
    I’m runnin’ on down those steps to kiss
    Mmmmm those thirsty eyes
    Nice nice nice that you got away
    But I’m so glad we’re together
    Nice nice nice that you got away - But I’m so glad we’re together

  • Think About Me Differently
    Think about me differently
    Yeah I know I been a hurricane
    Tearing at your fabric – you had to hold on tight
    But now there’s better weather
    Gonna make my momma proud
    And God knows that I love you
    Gonna anchor me to the ground
    Yeah think about me differently
    Wellin’ up in generosity
    Mmmm mm think about me differently
    Cause I love you girl and I love my family
    Wanna work with my job so hard
    Build us a foundation – mmm roots that are oh so strong
    You will see your momma smile
    That boy he goes the extra mile
    And love’s gonna be a happy place
    Sun gonna set on a sparkling face
    Yeah think about me differently
    Wellin’ up in generosity
    Mmmm mm yeah think about me differently
    Cause I love you girl and I love my family

  • Arms Wrapped Around
    Arms Wrapped Around
    Often it’s so lonely – even in a pair
    When darkness strikes and streets are full of fear
    It’s as though love’s gone to ground
    And we steel ourselves again
    To faces set like masks in silent stare
    But even though I’m hollow
    You’ll warm me up inside
    With your arms wrapped around,
    With your arms wrapped around
    And even though you’re empty
    I’ll lift you up tonight
    With my arms wrapped around,
    With my arms wrapped around
    Yes we’re on the streets tonight – marching with a sign
    Cause love is the very thing we’re living for
    And when the fight will dissipate
    The anarchy has fled
    We’ll crawl between the sheets and bolt the door
    Yes even though I’m hollow . . . my arms wrapped around
    You’re wrapped around me – I’m so glad you’re here
    Squeezing me tighter – I’m never gonna you let go

  • Heart In The Room
    Heart In The Room
    Across the room oblivious
    You dance like when you kiss
    In that moment impetuous
    Freeform and meaningless
    You are in outer space - juiced by rocket fuel
    An actress on a stage - just for the thrill
    And here I am silently craving
    Behind my eyes I’m going crazy
    Cause I’m connecting
    With a runaway downhill train
    Who don’t know what she does
    I’m tied to the tracks - depending on you
    To open your mind - and hear the heart in the room
    I know that there’s a part of you That syncs with the whole of me
    But I need your full attention
    Give your mind that liberty
    Cause you might find that you - feel just like I do
    And all that synchrony - can fly us to the moon
    Yes here I am silently craving . . .
    Nothing like connection
    A coupling eye to eye
    Hearts beating one on one

  • ONLY YOU (Can make up my world)
    Only You (Can make up my world)
    I got high ideals to follow
    Have to change the world
    I pick at bones of society
    And ring those sacred bells
    And you who I met in a twist of fate
    Are from the other tribe
    But trying to do right and look the other way
    It’s like an elbow in the side
    Yeah I can’t seem to be Mr anarchy
    Cause of you mesmerising girl
    I’m a slap to the great ideology
    ‘Cause only you make up my world
    only you - only you – only you – only you
    Can make up my world
    I don’t think about your origins
    Don’t care if you’re left or right
    Won’t ask you about democracy
    Or dissect human rights
    I just want to lie all night with you
    And bathe in desire’s hurting
    The warmth of the earth is our room
    As outside streets are flaring
