Fifty

The sum of constant days, lovers please delay, the ones to close the gate, forget about your fear, all the times when late, let other souls draw near, to broken laws pray, for those consumed by hate, be gentle in your ways, others hold you dear, why scream or hesitate, they will find you here, simple drunken orator, bells ring out to say, better this than fate, don't worry about the Seer, he is just a knave, measure life not years, lucky to live like crazy, each evening conjugate, how everyone here is brave, who passes this way.

Forty Nine

Her lips twist like knives, she is not forgiving, her eyes dance river wide, what else is new, bites me when she's sinning, on trips to secret venues, my mother says keep wise, she'll make you do the living, many a tortured night, no love runs smooth, a tobacco blonde full of lies, maybe it's true, maybe she's right, fresh alive and swimming, sunlight, water, sky, she takes the whole crew, laughter's for the living, her nails are bright blue, kicks water at the tide, her fame belongs to winning, hails me with that smile, is this our beginning ?

Forty Eight

Oh go away with you, don't take me as your fate, love's not for fools, useless to sing, or say sorry you're late, whenever you ring, to hell with rumour, if i want to pulsate, when i dance with you, it don't mean a thing, you're no special case, in fresh clothes and things, you'll borrow the moon, not church or state, to let me jump curfew, you're never my cling, my vision isn't great, can't see anything, I lie in sweet ruin, a warm hazy daze, let me go with you, praise all the days.

Forty Seven

You say you'll cheat fate, by wearing a red raincoat, find gold in an trash crate, is this what you do, never know the weather zone, but smile like a fool, you always come late, thrown away your 'fone, nothing's to your taste, give money to schools, you've got no boat, who knows if it's true, oh you carry weight, when you're on your own, scoff at those who hesitate, if you go boom, when they need a show, they have their own curfew, cold white hate, strokes your bones, citizen comrade at the gate, I'd say you're done.

Forty Six

Search for desolate fuel, set a passage clear, nothing else will do, we carry all our home, to somewhere not so near, better than going alone, nothing left to rue, set sail for different years, from all we once knew, my talk makes you groan, what else for a career, don't worry about the tone, dance these torrid blues, find something else that's dear, no need to feel spooked, dream of other rules, ached visions at our rear, golden domes unused, take another loan, perfume for tentative ears, on twisted paths we're blown, bring me sparkling jewels, let me laugh through tears, who needs to be cruel, sweep away the fear.

Forty Five

Look at me you Nerd, I'm shaping up to leave, are you scared, like fish swim away, can't your eyes see, don't say I'm great, I can take the hurt, your song of the sea, not really being there, always too late, as if you'd need, to post me in a shipping crate, why worry if I slur, know what might have been, you don't care, won't even kneel to pray, for a life of ease, nights when I'm off the rails, is it my grey hair, do I need new teeth, will hope get you there, look at me I plead.

Forty Four

Give your eye to trains, don't ever hear them moan, showcase it's your way, forget what's on your mind, in a life of soul, you're not the lonely kind, singing makes you resonate, turns us all to stone, hands strain across your face, you won't take fright, pleading like a dope, for any note you find, always go against the grain, stay out there alone, don't worry if they hesitate, your songs make them unwind, think it's you they own, not what's deep inside, bum notes make you late, all your deeds on show, it must make someone change, where else can you go?
