Eline
Lit up like some ocean bar,
within the hurricane zones,
I search for forgotten laws,
only fools pay their dues,
let you drink alone,
leave me here to stew,
you can only go so far,
before the lining folds,
start to shine the parts,
even without a feud,
on throwaway 'phones,
my ravaged face turns Blue,
your hair is like tar,
Saints reveal their bones,
where’s he gone your Da,
this trail is well used,
far away from home,
does life circle around you,
mine is not a lucky star,
sometimes hits the right note,
this decking for a Spa,
tales of love a joke.

I throw away the years,
every age has its past,
the laughs and happy tears,
no life is too short,
for those you trust,
within our toil of waters,
you run like the deer,
with a smell of musk,
hazy bars you step clear,
I knew I’d be caught,
spinning pennies in the dust,
am overawed,
on what brought me here,
bathed on this tidal flood,
for you to be sincere,
no book or district Court,
hides the fact I’m bust,
what I sought,
blows flame across my fears,
brings me all the luck,
hopes before you disappear,
riding on the dusk.

You won't see me hail,
anyone else’s prances,
on roads of darkest pale,
always play the fool,
wait for kindness to pass,
no path is smooth,
nothing more to say,
a gift of pure chance,
when you come my way,
I rage against lost feuds,
lilac at a lonely fast,
they don’t get to you,
life is like a freighter,
and our faces tanned,
pushing down the highway,
I know what to do,
pull over make a stand,
you're no fool,
study me again,
test your eyes for balance,
say what you want to say,
give me a chance

Stand by an unlit lamp,
a tree, a bridge, shaking,
I wait like a tramp,
Inside hear some muted song,
who would ever say,
I used to belong,
better take a chance,
play this game,
maybe go to France,
hope I’m not wrong,
looking at the rain,
stream against a lovely bar,
wonder how much it costs,
shuffle what remains,
no more wounds to lance,
someone will come along,
Heh Pal come this way,
put something in my pocket,
cigarettes and laughs,
beer like champagne,
my life dances,
praise each sweet day.

Wouldn't it be great,
to forget how much we owe,
celebrate the remains,
beat the times gone wrong,
when rivers skinned our bones,
within us all our song,
I watch for your face,
tumble down a naked slope,
save us from the rains,
we'll just bumble along,
laugh with what we know,
assent that we're strong,
fling the watch away,
spinning as the wind blows,
trains arrive all day,
I’ll never let you down,
tap you for a loan,
you have no need to go,
red lips ornate,
rooms where flowers grow,
pints and whisky chasers,
you’ll never feel alone.
