One One Nine

A cracked dirty spoon, offers no hindsight, or makes you look cool, here in this game, a race for your life, who holds the reins, you act like a fool, cooked over lies, stop doing what you do, if your eyes feel pain, your brain like a firefly, let others party, what makes it so cruel, you’re dying inside, face like a broken mule, when someone asks why, what you're doing’s insane, don’t show them the knife, or act goody two shoes, pretend to enjoy wine, who needs your rule, you'll be fine.

One One Eight

You could scream could you, when she demands another loan, talk of bad news, god knows, make it right, like some ocean boom, she's on cloud nine, she floats down the avenue, her daisy head is blown, paints you and Ma lemon blue, spinning pennies in the night, she’ll break any curfew, never mind the fights, when she cries for truth, we know she's not alone, can't be bothered to argue, what's worse is the silence, all that's gone to ruin, me, my wife, our niceness, before asking for her due, she reveals a broken home, leaves us here to stew, she'll always break our bones.

One One Seven

Dance a poor man's Blues, sing happy on the wire, always pay your dues, if no one 'phones, when you try to inspire, then go places alone, each little bit of you, is all they desire, don't give them a clue, life isn't a stone, you leave in the fire, why should you atone, for your choice of ruin, play louder than a choir, scream baby play tunes, you know in your bones, when others conspire, you’ll never go home, who brings you news, says who's for hire, you make your own truth, you're not a liar.

One One Six

Chained to your days, can your heart forgive, its greatest ways, best not to moan, or want to rescind, your life as a loan, don’t live in a haze, cowering from the wind, torn like cellophane, you're not alone, to sail with the ships, put meat on your bones, live for today, find love instead, more than just trade, welcome the tone, a lonely heart shifts, you're coming home, when someone says, you don't fit in, there's no perfect way, to know how to give.

One One Five

In darkness and grain blue, please give me a sign, release me of any virtue, it’s not me gone cold, when you bring me news, or others you've told, my tears ask me why, I should cry for you, you hide your goodbyes, a life made bold, by your cock a hoop, makes me suddenly old, your eyes betray constant flight, care is not an issue, neither is your wife, come to me I moan, can’t we light the fuse, you cannot love alone, should I die for you, bells ring out the night, is yours a poor truth, tell me don't lie.

One One Four

His lips twist like knives, he is not forgiving, his eyes sweep river wide, what else is new, bites me when he's sinning, our trips to secret venues, my mother says stay wise, he'll make you do the giving, many a tortured night, our love isn't smooth, I’m tobacco blonde and cry, maybe it's true, maybe she's right, fresh alive and swimming, sunlight, water, sky, he shakes the lifeguard crew, laughter's for the living, his eyes are bright blue, he dances in the tide, his fame is in winning, hails me with that smile, is this our beginning?

One One Three

Keep an eye to trains, don't ever hear them moan, let them show the way, forget what's on your mind, it’s a life of Soul, you're not the lonely kind, singing makes you great, turns us all to stone, hands stray across your face, you won't take fright, pleading like a dope, for any note to find, shoot against the grain, stay out there alone, don't worry who japes, your songs make them kind, think it's you they own, not what's deep inside, bum notes make you late, all you deal's on show, something has to change, where else can you go?
