WITHOUT A WASTED WORD

(Rekab Starling)

There’s a melt down

When quiet years get filled

With tiny let downs

A quiet rage rumbles within

Where the ice floes

Meet volcanos

It’s frozen ground

And there’s no sound

Where the walls in sweet suburbia

Tumble down

You know what I heard

(Chorus) {x 2}

I heard some blue birds

One Four O’d about you

Without a wasted word

That love had flown your coup

They aren’t locquacious

ten dollar words aren’t needed

for the put downs

bitter sweet martini

drink me ups so many knock downs

that they lost count

they keep it down

They give no ground

Until the walls in sweet suburbia

Tumbled down

They’re bruised behind their eye shades

excuses for the kids

the latest X Box

the finest HiFi head gear head phones

they got them Flat screens

Ice cream

The neighbours smile

A feeble smile

And every morning Tweet the rumours

Go around

You know what I heard

(Chorus) {x 3}

Instrumental Bridge

(Chorus) { x 4}
