You’ve burnt the tar,
bring only bad news,
even in that new car,
a trip on your radio,
carries dreams for a few,
but love listens alone,
you won't cross the arc,
make your excuses,
right from the start,
it takes a heart of stone,
to ignore your Ju Ju,
that’s the way things go,
this has gone too far,
lipstick, the jeans I use,
I am not your tart,
splutter down the ‘phone,
act like a special nark,
dance your last fandango,
I smoke a Lucky Star,
smell summer’s sweet perfume,
you’re falling apart,
with your lousy tunes

Is it peace or fame,
a bird on the wire,
that you rage against,
shuffling out of the gloom,
chanting to the wind,
no one cries like you,
many come this way,
they pester you for hire,
ask and ask again,
tell them what to do,
your face mired,
visage forever blue,
an offering to the freeway,
a burnt-out tyre,
this is all you give,
always someone's dude,
their wretched desire,
little else of virtue,
the miracle they crave,
is not within your choir
whoever that you save,
plays with fire.

I'll gamble it all away,
don't care what you do,
I will live this age,
in winter's iron maw,
little comes of Neptune,
even with a shallow thaw,
look for signs in the bay,
work is just a ruse,
puts salt on our rage,
everyone's a whore,
sad song's ring on cue,
what a cache they hoard,
smoke cigarettes in the rain,
every trick in use,
it’s all such a game,
love comes tied with cord,
I don’t really hate you,
even when you make me roar,
this generation’s betrayed,
TV reveals bitter news,
we could fill our grave,
with all its shoddy goods

My song is dead good mojo,
It may be flawed,
but it keeps me going,
my lover’s like a flea,
whoever takes the tour,
she always lands on me,
feeds the lost and lonely,
a lender of last resort,
they won't leave her alone,
each tune keeps them happy,
they holler out for more,
don’t you dig this scene,
dancing in my zone,
like you did before,
our time is never done,
it prances on the sea,
your hair fires the ocean,
brings me such sweet dreams,
I will sooth your bones,
bring peace to the poor,
temper your groans,
have you back for more

You ask me what's new,
never one to help the poor,
always start on cue,
won’t say please,
confined to any floor,
with a sense of ease,
wherever there’s a queue,
you’ll work that door,
bust any curfew,
bad guys on the street,
never make you pause,
when you hear the screams,
it’s a life’s revenue,
handing out the chores,
nothing makes you Blue,
know where you've been,
with all your gorgeous whores,
you will never need,
to be someone else’s glue,
drinking like some Commodore,
your head full of tunes,
do you know the score ?

You came to us in bits,
said ice’s in your blood,
somehow nothing fits,
tried to make the claim,
that your word is good,
issued beyond the Pale,
who cares about yellow lists,
you want to draw blood,
not worth another hit,
wait for better days,
gaps in life to plug,
want to like your face,
simply do what we insist,
it won’t drive you nuts,
let your fate drift,
act like someone crazy,
who needs to make a fuss,
we cater for every taste,
in this house of whispers,
do what you do best,
no one needs a chorus,
our door is never shut.

Never one to search for gain,
every task spent,
do you ever feel the rain,
or get sore,
raising the old fences,
foxing at the door,
no matter what it takes,
you’re always present,
for ungrateful fakes,
fools that sing for applause,
you drink like the rest,
know the score,
no need to remonstrate,
to bring out our best,
what a player you make,
two and two is four,
you scatter us when,
we ask for more,
but as the night breaks,
all investments spent,
those cool jakes,
fade in your innocence.
