The whole towns slippin down a hill.
Like the spine of something dead. Slide in shadow cobble-creep. Burn your mark and leave. The trench conventions yellow eyes Follow her the local flower The girls a priest (to me at least) Since baptism peroxide. And fear is not respect. Correct. But it's the best you're gonna get Sharp blow to the bridge of the nose Sharp blow and anything goes. |

Your eyes are just like black spiders Your
hair and dress in ribbons. Babycakes In despair or incoherent. Nothing in between China white, my bride tonight Smiling on the tiles Bring that minute back We never get so close as when the sunward flight begins I share it all with you Powder blue Stumble through the crowds together They're trying to ignore us. That's o.k. I'm proud to be the one you hold when the shakes begin Sallow skinned, starry eyed, blessed In our sin Bring that minute back We never get so close to death Makes you so alive I share it all with you Powder blue |

You're a girl in this vicinity
I'm a dog without a collar on This cattle-market cabaret Is the Sabbath every Saturday I'm full of wit and chivalry Until you've given in to me I'm a dog without a collar on You're a girl in this vicinity Bitten by the tail-fly Too many times to change It's a silent taxi ride away But it's everything to get you there You'll know when you are bitten-shy But still you will return my stare From a crush of blushing brides-to-be You barely have a blossom on Your eyes betray your diaries I'm a dog without a collar on I'll take you home Get you on your own Sweetness, don't be bashful Your eyes betray your diaries |

I'll be the corpse in your bathtub
Useless I'll be as deaf as a post If you hold me like a newborn Whisper what you feel My badly strung declaration To You You'll spend the end of your days Gently smiling like a newborn Love not by degrees Press your lips To my eyes Taste my tears On your tongue, Pull the blinds Play our song Nothings changed Nothing could be wrong. Scream in the night Kick and skrike Like a newborn Holding me shaking Awake in the dark All of these promises Kept and unbroken Tracing the scars Tracing the scars Even and cold As we both become older. Your arms bound about me The hush in your voice. The warmth of your fingers Entwined around mine In the eve of our lives Never a choice. |

Found a hole and slipped on through
Kissed the stone and learnt the lines Jumped the cue all the time forgetting you Best dishevelled lover 3yrs running Coming second to A picket fence white 9-5 whos Just alive Beyond repair, there is nothing to say Save some fading regrets Yet I can't be without this I want you to be around. Spit-shone lies, juggled debts Planted flags and made regrets. Muddled through all the time Forgetting you Cut your teeth and breezed on to another brothers fickle ways So why amazed when it don't Come/turn out your way |

Can't stop thinking
I won't stop drinking I need that comfort I don't need discipline Twilights tailing I had self belief (They don't compromise) This has battered me That's my history Hold this shaking frame Pull this back together What's your story? I want to listen. I can't fake pity. I may not sympathise Twy-lights tailing. Try my lies for size You might swallow them While I fantasize Try-my-lies-for-size. Hold this shaking frame. Pull this back together |

Been climbing trees I've skinned my knees
My hands are black the sun is going down She scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam She's listening to the dream I weaved today Crosswords through the bathroom door While someone sings the theme-tune to the news And my sister buzzes through the room leaving perfume in the air And that's what triggered this. I come back here from time to time I shelter here some days. A high-back chair. He sits and stares A thousand yards and whistles Marching-band (Boom-ching) Kneeling by and speaking up He reaches out and I take a Massive hand. Disjointed tales That flit between short trousers And a full dress uniform And he talks of people ten years Gone like I've known them all my life Like scattered black 'n' whites? |
