Father
Could you even care,
why i feel so rotten,
swollen beyond a dare,
have you read the news,
within your open wallet,
i'm in love with you,
your hand around me curls,
laughs when i'm startled,
besides the running Burn,
carry on won't you,
under trees or car parks,
i'll always stay true,
anchors won't bind this girl,
ships roll by forgotten,
i'm not about to learn,
go cold before your stare,
God is not for mocking,
when you kiss less fair,
what flags have you unfurled,
can't you see me rocking,
is it me you've turned,
lost among the blossom.

Sweet talk makes you curl,
just say enough, Basta,
never just a candy whirl,
silken wraps you've thrown,
but always collapse,
face molded like a stone,
plates occasionally hurled,
nothing holds you fast,
makes you torn or care,
life is what you own,
if they think that crass,
consider them gone,
you're not perturbed,
now time has passed,
you're not that girl,
dancing on brown chairs,
singing songs that pass,
your bum in the air,
but keep or burn,
your love on the gas,
turn the flame down,
make it last.
the way you hook,
when you tell lover's lies,
money you tooled,
in a poor welcome light,
sunlight on the lilac,
you're 38 and cool,
but no more sighs,
it's useless to hesitate,
the knife's on the bone,
always too late,
never safe to heed,
the bells of what i'm doing,
whoever make me plead,
wave goodbye to dreams,
she has me all alone,
my turn now to bleed,
always opens the gate
they ask, the ghosts,
sat on bar stools bereft,
you never throw stones
What you created,
with me as your creed,
leaves me prostrate,
a tune with broken tones,
in that sixties scene,
when you left home,
you didn't hesitate,
to polish the chrome,
the moon hesitates,
it knows where she's been,
the wind going boom
hold the clock chimes,
run outside the room,
live generous lives,
like you never rue,
brave enough it rests nearby,
what settles on the breeze
to rescue God or try,
brush away disease,
laugh at why you're cold,
what has come to be,
dance on love you sigh,
sing that song you sold,
growl it like a lullaby,
before you die
you're no salamander.
.panic shall not reign
who holds their reins?
best not to moan,
keep hold of your creed,
by Calendar or the sea,
take Cium
the bird who has flown,
it was only fame,
singing as she goes,
drunk as a fiery contralto,
dance amongst flames,
problems the wind blows,
the love that was shown,
dissolves gives way,
all that you owned,
keeps you engaged.
cafe's swell with rain,
best not to moan,
keep hold of your creed,
don't let panic reign,
like a hurricane zone,
try to circle the domes,
we are leaving Salerno,
you have got my tone
knowing not enough to see,
would you let her tumble,
tired of this campaign,
across this shining bite,
that gives no easy news,
against the water's might,
the Americas of circue.
by mountains and ruins,
lovers only hesitate
she never left a family’s gate,
but came here to sing,
a woman who knows she's great,
that beckons any time,
next to me like a bride,
around a constant why,
the land within our sight,
an old man and his wife,
a voyage for the rate,
set your almond eyes
birds sing out of tune
drain summer into June
sweep up with the moon
not present castigate,
hope on a midnight wire,
we are not alone
in this lasting light,
home provides no clue,
God knows of your plight,
don't try to collude,
say your cards are marked,
you're never that far,
to stay where you are,
in a warm hazy fog,
and a veil across your face
don't send me to Mars,
from where you perorate.

Please don't act all fine,
playing your games,
somewhere a chime,
or maybe the blues,
some lousy frame,
it's always you,
never turns out right,
far away from pain,
sleeping bad, drinking wine,
what a bum tune,
coming home you say,
call that good news,
naked from your crimes,
no light across the plain,
lost in your own designs,
you haven't got a dime,
waiting for a dismal train,
passengers hum no sunshine,
when you talk coastlines,
when you feel rain,
remember those lines,
remember who gains.

soft o, hard i, hard a
you look like you rule,
dancing on the bread line,
who taught you the rules,
you think you're great,
at other's demise,
stop before it's too late,
what makes you so cruel,
stuff going on inside,
the face of Miss Cool,
even in pain,
your eyes are like fireflies,
looking to make hay,
the way you doodle,
cooked over lies,
is this what you do,
here in this game,
a race for your life,
who holds the reins,
a cracked open pool,
may offer you hindsight,
but not born to fool,
if anyone asks why?

You know what i mean,
loving how the Rolling Stones,
narrow faces to a scream,
i'm cool but burn with rage,
even if i atone,
she always opens the gate,
this isn't my scene,
journey's nerves are cloned,
long past where i've been,
useless to hesitate,
the knife is on the bone,
it's always about too late,
never safe to heed,
the bells of what i'm doing,
whoever make me plead,
wave goodbye to dreams,
she has me all alone,
my turn now to bleed,
i unwrap the scheme,
can still hear the groan,
who will take the heat,
when i'm coming home ?
where are our ghosts
the dreams we have kept,
just leave us alone
what we have left
they ask, the ghosts,
sat on bar stools bereft,
you never throw stones
What you created,
with me as your creed,
leaves me prostrate,
a tune with broken tones,
in that sixties scene,
when you left home,
you didn't hesitate,
to polish the chrome,
.
try hard a and soft a
the moon hesitates,
it knows where she's been,
the wind going boom
hold the clock chimes,
run outside the room,
live generous lives,
like you never rue,

Florence
From her white garden seat,
she carries a load,
that time takes to defeat,
secrets like lemons steeped,
ravaged lipstick Eau De Cologne,
she whispers her feelings,
when lovers trick or treat,
she surrenders perfume soaked,
to drink whisky neat,
living by a swollen creek,
the bible takes a hold,
and granny rolls her sleeves,
a rifle next to the sheets,
she's no rolling stone,
what better cure than ease,
won't bathe in wine or yeast,
isolated but still at home,
there are no more feasts,
she'll measure those beans,
there's no public telephones,
down fields of blue wheat,
she's not alone.

i'm not a fool to fawn,
before altars or anything like that,
my heart beats without scorn,
i want to tell the sea,
from my roaring raft,
there's still a need to dream,
spirit an ancient worm,
from our little chats,
sail into a perfect calm,
need to spell this clearly,
roar like a big cat,
say this's not some scheme,
from a love that's torn,
losing life on the flat,
my giving isn't done,
ride rails, fly across dawn,
adjust my Ray Bans,
this girl's coming home,
gallop through a field of corn,
my lover asks,
dance like you were never born,
how's that a gas ?
