How do you know,
what people feel,
in their bones,
that splintered smiley face,
watered by the sea,
they’ll catch it anyway,
don’t have to kowtow,
to unlock without a key,
your cigarette glow,
why seek the rain,
peer in mountain streams,
want to run away,
nothing to bestow,
from other crazy schemes,
what you’ve blown,
such a long time away,
to live without a bean,
now face each coming day,
you don't have to show,
the relics seen,
sweet hand of love now,
on your dreams.

You come to us in bits,
say water's in your blood,
somehow nothing fits,
try to make the claim,
that your life's misunderstood,
much beyond the pale,
we carry yellow lists,
plan to do some good,
arraigned by your blips,
you want another day,
some gap in life to plug,
time to have your say,
simply do what we insist,
it won’t drive you nuts,
try our simple gifts,
if you act like someone crazy,
who needs to make a fuss,
we cater for every taste,
in this house of whispers,
you do what you must,
no one hears a chorus,
when doors never shut.

How do you know,
what people feel,
in their bones,
that jilted smile's a strain,
watered by the stream,
they’ll catch it anyway,
take the time right now,
to unlock without a key,
your luminous glow,
why seek the rain,
peer in mountain streams,
don't need to catch a train,
you’ve nothing to bestow,
with other crazy schemes,
your moving picture show,
such a long time away,
to live within a dream,
now face each coming day,
you don't have to borrow,
on what you've been,
before the cock crows,
see what's to see.

Never one to search for gain,
every task lent,
don't you ever feel the pain,
or get sore,
putting up the neighbour’s fence,
fixing their front door,
no matter what it takes,
you’re always present,
us ungrateful ‘probates,
fools sing for applause,
get drunk ike the rest,
you know the score,
no need to remonstrate,
to bring out our best,
oh, what a player you make,
two and two make four,
you scatter our defences,
never ask for more,
but when the night breaks,
your investment spent
all those cool milkshakes
will you take us then?

What hurts most inside,
something in her face,
her eyes are open wide,
all you need to know,
no longer drums like rain,
in a lover’s mot,
new to a sweetheart's lies,
I see her look away,,
not easy to turn aside,
a million ways to stow,
your fight against the blame,
there’s nowhere else to go,
dishevelled in your cries,
a pirate on the Main,
the barometer calls time,
drink away your woes,
you once jumped rail,
whisky face aglow,
time to step aside,
maybe go to Spain,
no need for reasons why,
just be on your way.

When you start to say,
I always dance alone,
please give me a break,
sit by the fire,
don't make a run,
you’re not a flyer,
not a second to waste
it's lonely on stones,
an Iliad from home,
listening to the cryers,
our bed’s rough-hewn,
calms all desires,
bring us our day,
not a long megaphone,
where we can bray,
we are not like Sapphires,
we’ll never atone,
draw air to the pyre,
it'll be our holiday,
so far from Athlone,
won't inquire about pain,
or where we’re going.

Each gasp makes me a liar,
will he see,
the gaps between my hair,
sometimes just a little move,
heaven’s a place to be,
even if I don’t feel love,
terrible places hard chairs,
they still let me dream,
no one kids me there,
get dressed need a hug,
what about my teeth,
grace comes from above,
act like I don't care,
scrubbed sparkling clean,
I sail through the air,
Joe’s my new Bud,
he might rescue everything,
rise each night in flood,
it's only fair,
when evening turns green,
you take what you can,
it's not me who screams.
