Fifteen
You ask what's new,
never one to help the poor,
i arrive on cue,
you never did say please,
divined by any call,
or my sense of ease,
always back of your queue,
sitting in this gloom,
I'll bust the curfew,
bad guys on this street,
no fool for your cause,
when you hear the screams,
it pulls your life askew,
hacking out your chores,
sweating with the Blues,
i know where you've been,
with all your glorious mores,
whose turn now to bleed,
you never were my glue,
drinking at some lonely door,
your head full of tunes,
tilting at the bar.

Fourteen
You come to me in bits,
say water's in your blood,
somehow nothing fits,
try to make the claim,
more to life than this,
take love beside the freeway,
she carries yellow lists,
plain and understood,
chained before the kids,
wants another say,
maybe you need a plug,
rather than raise Cain,
simply do what she insists,
suffer in time go nuts,
prepare for another blitz,
act like someone crazy,
youe need to make a fuss,
why suffer every phase,
in this house of whispers,
an ocean door never shuts,
you don't need a chorus,
to stop chopping wood.

Thirteen
You always try to calculate,
foundation walls safe to climb,
beyond the spikes of jail,
your lips can't fake,
when they leave us nothing,
stand before the magistrate,
inhabit somewhere beat,
maybe with a communion air,
have a go at taking care,
it's not easy being free,
knowing how to keep,
a wooden space to perorate,
terrible supplies of energy,
vodka tonics citrus lines,
who needs you anyway,
take a train,
winter in warm climes,
find an Ocean to lie in,
somewhere else to bathe,
you can't ever discreetly,
inquire about the places,
that secrete our wine.

Twelve
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?

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 ?

Ten
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.
