I need another home,
help me to say,
why you are gone,
what I need to do,
is unravel the waste,
stumble on truth,
in troubled zones,
need solace each day,
try not to feel alone,
the sea is lemon blue,
cafe's swell with rain,
it brings me nothing new,
here in my bones,
there's always a way,
to take control,
what's left to the few,
is fly against pain,
don't sing the Blues,
brilliant gnomes,
whisper your name,
waters groan,
I'm going away.

You just smile easy,
know what to say,
like a spirit released,
a high heeled slumber,
stones, wreaths, graves,
make you turn and wonder,
is it a coward's retreat,
that finds no shape,
but follows you the same,
who has your number,
when you say,
my life's unencumbered,
your insides screech,
tunes jingle and play,
will you live by the sea,
roll in the thunder,
forget the disgrace,
stay out of trouble,
find a certain conceit,
allow it no grace,
you're eager to squeeze,
memories from your face.

The love you show,
dissolves and goes to waste,
a fool in every bone,
you have no need,
to circle every day,
be brave enough to flee,
in garments sewn,
by a drunken oblate,
don't make it all you know,
weeds, flowers, pieces,
keep you engaged,
you need to be free,
is this why you've flown,
not only the shame,
makes you sing as you go,
a house by the sea,
tides and whisky and Spain,
makes you happy,
brilliant stones,
whisper your name,
You are the full blow,
find your own pace.

You Who own the night,
the wind hushed fog dunes,
makes you wonder why,
you keep a cheerful home,
beat away the blues,
always on the go,
forget the bitter times,
all the bum untruths,
bars, rain, gloom, suicide,
dream of flying solo,
always glad to see you,
since that time you phoned,
the air splashes by,
the evening's getting cool,
some waste all their lives,
others touch the stones,
kid themselves to look,
what they had before,
men whistle passing by,
you laugh and hum a tune,
say it's stupid to lie,
this is what we do.

it just goes to show,
you don't need ease,
in some lane dead slow,
be witness to your sighs,
care less about the belfry,
or your weary lies,
when you talk of loans,
it takes energy to release,
all that's gone,
instead of the jibes,
what will you see,
behind all of your crying,
is this stuff you know,
how to strip out equity,
keeping up a cheerful tone,
don't try to be wise,
it's nothing to me,
you've marked many nights,
better than the blow,
you float on the breeze,
heaven in your soul,
who needs to please?

if you knew how to give,
we wouldn't need,
bad places to live,
this is no child’s game,
wound around greed,
chasing your days,
what about the kids,
with all their surly needs,
cast them adrift,
golden rings won't negate,
smoke on the breeze,
do you send them away,
with all your little fibs,
think it's just a wheeze,
like shutting a lid,
you're a fool to hesitate,
bring each day no gifts.
instead pontificate,
living life by drips,
not a big blue sea,
the loving light hid,
a lemon squeezed?

You never mind,
their curses and blasts,
always try to be kind,
face like a stone,
when you feel trapped,
it's best you go alone,
won't get frightened,
with men who are strapped,
or say they're divine,
who surround you like ghosts,
first to collapse,
knowing life is your own,
your head doesn't rhyme,
with scarves worn for Mass,
that's another time,
woe woe woe,
like shoes on a last,
all they do is moan,
they beg for more wine,
slurp it aghast,
tell them that's fine,
you cook with gas.
