For each little bit of you, if anyone enquires, we won’t give a clue, life isn't a trombone, don’t sound like a choir, why should they 'phone, your small cup of ruin, brighter than fire, will get you in tune, you know you know, this poisoned desire, but we leave you alone, whoever needs the truth, asks who's for hire, we’ll tell them what’s new, if someone moans, when you perspire, we'll have their bones, down on the avenue, sing on the wire, always pay your dues, you're a straight flyer.

Can’t you ask why, accept what you’ve chosen, before you deny, stare at dead cases, you’re mouth frozen, with stupid phrases, sing your favourite lines, our time done with roses, accept all you decry, beyond children’s faces, neither shrunken nor spoken, their wonderful stations, at the graveside, witness love's bonus, clouds sail the sky, what settles the debate, won’t care nor follow us, you blew the traces, a flower at your side, just some little token, more than a wish to verify, what lies broken.

Why live in a haze, it's not this one time, battered like cellophane, best not to moan, or warm holy wine, life is only a loan, why jump the trains, scour the line, for the perfect way, in your worn-out clothes, enjoy what’s fine, even on your bones, make a step change, scrape off the grime, find love instead of trade, when someone groans, you don't understand why, move out of that zone, betrayed by your days, let your heart unwind, in greater ways, you can ever design.

Look at the moon, a spring tide today, everything comes around too soon, the birds who have flown, seeking away, sing as they go, my eyes are like pools, wouldn't it be great, to find somewhere new, in a hurricane zone, where no one reigns, to oversee the loans, someone not cruel, but poised sedate, who forgets about dues, and where the wind blows, all emotion flayed, an emptiness gone, my good parts are cool, clear as acetate, will you come there too, high across the flames?

Bella

II need another home, help me to say, what you know is gone, what I need to do, unravel the waste, pick out the new, in troubled zones, there is solace every day, II am never alone, the sea is lemon blue, cafe's swell with rain, always there is you, here in my bones, love finds a way, without being shown, what's sought by the few, with no thought for gain, echoes this truth, brilliant stones, glisten with names, waters groan, please help me again.

This is not me, jelly for thoughts, each day of uncertainty, a useless fall from grace, cast adrift forlorn, I don’t want to hate, make a fool of reason, laugh when I'm caught, spitting at eternity, you’ll read this and shake, absent from my call, I’ll scream and create, waiting for the seasons, wondering if I'm born, howling for the next scene, you’ll raise the stakes, fear of being torn, I have to act brave, who dreams of empathy, sitting on a wall, boom of a broken sea, snot wanting to fall.

The love you show, dissolves gives way, makes a fool of every bone, is it in your creed, to circle the days, can't you see, in garments sewn, like a drunken oblate, it’s all you know, incense, flowers, crazes, to dance on hot stones, you want to be free, is this what you've sown, only the shame, head bowed as you go, a house by the sea, bring whisky for your pain, try to be happy, brilliant origins, whisper your name, Spring's in full flow, find your own space
