Before my fame,
I only thought of you,
and what you craved,
shadows pass in blue smoke,
against an awful truth,
shocked again I'm broke,
you always did waste,
my successful tunes,
in this different age,
at the clubs alone,
long lonely rooms,
stripped to the bone,
inside the best cafe's,
I would have bloomed,
by night and by day,
holding a simple note,
lonely men soothed,
like bathing atones,
to begin again,
is hardly new,
this Subway,
stinks of feuds.

You wonder why I pray,
with kids like these,
they'd make you snort cocaine,
run a bath with foam,
not living in your creed,
but loving isn't done,
I hold your face,
forget to say please,
catch horizons in the rain,
in the wind and stones,
help us with our needs,
assist the journey home,
fire me through dreary days,
make my troubles ease,
withstand the fray,
each of my lonesome tones,
becomes suddenly free,
now we're alone,
remember those days,
our trips to the sea,
the scrimp for praise,
our dance at Thebes?

You scream the news,
in troubled nights,
as if you knew,
all the different ones,
left hanging on the line,
you loved and gone,
fire burns up the flue,
don't tell me how to cry,
when you look so callow,
it’s not me you blocked,
swimming against the tide,
everything you held and lost,
no matter who you use,
however you may try,
you are not immune,
who cares what is crocked,
something deep inside,
shines beside my shock,
who will sing your blues,
pillows furl the sky,
death is no easy due,
even when you die.

If I’m set to freeze,
my soul strung out tight,
someone needs to set me free,
in your eyes amour,
have to do what's right,
you know the score,
rock me gently,
say everything ‘s fine,
don't worry baby,
the hearts of lost hordes,
all entwined,
roll around on my floor,
glamorous, perfect, serene,
you kiss me quietly,
do what others have dreamed,
a perfect fighter,
have I just died,
and loll on water,
a star across the sea,
I swear to the night,
let me reach the quays,
I’ll be alright.

Don't say I’m late,
that love doesn't exist,
put on your skates,
the earth hesitates,
like it has a stitch,
I’m not afraid,
someone says give me change,
who is paying this,
it'd be a cheek to say,
spin on your plate,
he wants to see my tits,
creepy by the door frame,
working in this place,
is like a launderette,
spinning out my fate,
a little smile migrates,
with all the other misfits,
who’ve never seen a wage,
such times of little grace,
when you figure it,
makes me wear a face,
if something’s missing,

You keep trouble at bay,
that life requires,
any problems just look away,
they pester you for loans,
your eyes seek the tide,
you're not alone,
stumble in the haze,
dampen all desire,
no one’s so easy or brave,
scared to your bones,
they won’t call you a liar,
or chase you with guns,
ride the blue waves,
like a cold fish knife,
love is the only gain,
why don't you 'phone,
among candlelit signs,
not easy on your own,
is this what you crave,
a burning pyre,
pine needles and hay,
a soul on fire?

It's quiet here now,
after fifty years of greed,
smooth as stone,
can still see the cave,
where praise be,
I hope to be saved,
my body under snow,
back in the country,
when it starts to blow,
give me this place,
where there is serenity,
even on feast days,
geese with barren tones,
set the air to freeze,
right on my shoulder,
they honk on their way,
late for the season,
I'm just the same,
in the blue dawn,
stripped like the trees,
in my hands a rose,
the old loving need.
