Say life’s so unfair, many a seed sown, then again who cares, if you bring the sea, to face the bright unknown, you’ll find out slowly, red lipstick laughter shared, drink it all down, what you need is more, it doesn’t seem real, were you ever born, to feel such churning need, when someone makes a dare, do you moan, dance unsteadily on chairs, throw away your keys, mask it all with scorn, any wanton creed, give us your daily prayer, make us warm as toast, don’t be scared, love always finds a home.

We drink together for company, God knows if we’re right, always need sympathy, we are like this couple, who stay out at night, only come awake at noon, all we need is peace. love dances hold us tight, worries don’t guide our being, our dreams sharp and new, march to sunlight, we won’t truck with fools, look how easy, it is to sail the sky, nothing stands our scrutiny, we're so happy and cool, in the morning fire, whatever we say or do, you can hear the sea, when we walk for miles, are you as scared as me, if someone turns the tide?

Why seek a useless retreat, for all you cannot find, when nothing seems to please, I won't bear good news, that love just needs time, from me there’s always truth, I hate the hiss of Sardony, that doesn't rate sublime, or sometimes turns to Blasphemy, can't disguise the hue, case what's in his mind, I’ll leave that up to you, he shakes his car keys, the moon is on the rise, but brings no Odyssey, rather than a loving creed, for what you might divine, he'd prefer to bleed, forget any sense of ease, thoughts are the crime, you’ll rage at his deceit, somewhere down the line.

Nothing’s left to slake, sing any song you choose, seek eternal escape, pray with all your bones, they’re a simple crew, tell them where to go, reason says too late, to heal these broken dues, any brigand seeks escape, prefers to be alone, all of life’s tune, don't worry if I'll cope, find some tide or sail, any sea will do, another lover surely waits, a knife to the throat, we’ll sail across the blue, what is left to hold, except what’s mine anyway, a captain of my slew, treasure from the Spanish Main, I am one sassy dude.

Drunk enough to ask why, I've been chosen, so much here to deny, laugh at all the crazes, they try to impose, invoke stupid phrases, like sing your favourite lines, act as If well spoken, who will catch their eye, they wonder if you’re lazy, to work in tattered overcoat, sweet days of praying, they roll along like fire, verify love's soaking, clouds lower the sky, dreams made on packing cases, blow in cold assurance, I dance away the traces, flowers rest by my side, just some little token, more than any pride, see me as unbroken.

A worn out empty feeling, all you wish to hide, the pain of someone leaving, she brings you the news, doesn’t try, to disguise what’s true, never mean she lights the sea, an artist cool as sky, to this old has been, she’s looking for something new, a need to find, the story of her youth, whoever walks this street, searches each night, for what they need, he sinks a few, failing with the light, at St Anthony's quay, sheltered by her being, like a soul on fire, the visions she’s seen, witnessed her desire.

Tell me, tell me why, they treat you like a seer, my lips dance in delight , you command a beautiful air, bells wash away the fear, candle scent and myrrh, who says when we die, there’s call for stolen tears, demands we have to try, life contains its passionate flair, a proud engineer, our joys held to the light, I walk like a man gone by, through the city's cheer, so hot it seems to fry, every stolen lair, songs for all their ears, we don’t have a care, our ship is full of literature, they love orators here, in darkness a green lullaby, our souls rise to share..
