Never one to search for gain, every task to you is rent, don't feel the rain, or get sore, putting up our new fence. fixing the door, no matter what it takes, you grant your presence, us ungrateful reprobates, fools sing for applause, take drink like the rest, you know the score, do not remonstrate, to bring out our best, oh what a fool you make, two and two makes four, you'll scatter our defences, always ask for more, see how little we hesitate, our investment spent, in night's cool probate, you remain our friend?

Eleven

What hurts deep inside, something's new in her face, your eyes full of rain, what you need to know, no longer comes your way, sealed in a one way note, new to a sweetheart's lie, see her heart fade, not easy to turn aside, a million ways to show, you fight against the waste, with nowhere else to go, desolate in your crying, soaked on a street called main, a barometer for your time, explain to another what blows, you once jumped rail, whisky face aglow, no time to step aside, is this really the place, to ask the reasons why, you feel ashamed ?

Each tweet makes me a liar, will anyone see, the gaps between my hair, sometimes just a little move, makes heaven a place to share, even if I can't get love, terrible faces hard chairs, will they ever let me dream, no one keels me there, get dressed feel the rug, what about my teeth, grace comes from up above, as if I don't care, scrubbed up like easyclean, I sail through the air, call me Harry he buys a Bud, it might rescue everything, rise each night in flood, it's only fair, when evening turns green, get what you like or dare, it's not me who feels.

Nine

When donkeys start to bray, you dance and say, never mind the time, sit by the fire,. don't take a train, come here and wait, it's a lonely path alone, not having a sou to spend, lost like Homer from his home, listening to stones, i only read in bed, rather than get laid, this horizon so bright, a sail on the lee, this way there's no stain, so far we're right, who needs a reason, blankets weigh heavy at night, it'll be our secret, won't enquire about pain, a long silent right, brings us our day. ,

Eight

Who will break your news, struggling to escape, last winter's blues, no horizon's bright, is your mark a stain, you're always right, it makes life a curfew, no dancing on waves, or fearing what to do, never mind the time, hear a donkey bray, you sit by a fire, before sunrise bears fruit, your tears seep away, no one can reach you, every wondered why, enquires about pain, make a long silent night, your moans are in tune, with a fortune at bay, hearing rain on the roof, you won't shout hurray.

Seven

Take the love you show, drown it on the tide, live with what you know, drained by winter's news, before you sail on by, look at me you knew, caught up in a cyclone, going to be a bride, I say please don't go, what makes it true, your heart's made of stone, it beats the Delta blues, breaking on my bones, who will bring more wine, nothing can atone, all we have we lose, that fellow by your side, is he part of you, you never did do slow, to catch another's smile, why fake you're alone, screaming in the night.

Six

They'll all be fine, fix a drink alone, stronger than wine, used to take strong tea, humour lachrymose, jokes my repartee, now i'm to be kind, walk up the brow, try to settle unwind, rain starts to ease, I'll carry the stones, what was once certainty, have spoken my mind, never one to atone, leave it a while, I need to believe, what used to be so, when they all leave, where is the time, now they've left home, the stuff that was mine, now they've all gone?
