Take a ship to France,
do you want me to say,
you can have another chance,
act all cute,
the way life is framed,
but you're no fool,
so you're banned,
once again nailed,
don’t start to dance,
you’re not so cool,
in your lies mere details,
I won’t run smooth,
don’t look askance,
when I start to rail,
passion can pass,
shame doesn’t bother you,
nothing more to say,
you won’t need tunes,
to slide down the scale,
don’t take my hand,
look at me again,
say I’ve got class,
call out my name?

Clouds unfurl in the sky,
death brings no easy due,
even when we die,
who cares what’s at stake,
it always comes for you,
forever burns in your grate,
something deep inside,
not just any ordinary dude,
makes me want to cry
these brilliant barriers I create,
not to look a fool,
no one cares if I’m great,
however high we fly,
love is not immune,
but always worth a try,
lying low to castigate,
something lost inside you,
whenever you walk away,
on troubled nights,
we’ve had a few,
spare me the questions right,
blow them up the flue.

She has some spark,
her lovely face lights,
early as the lark,
she hankers for love,
most of her nights,
doesn’t worry what's above,
in a supermarket car park,
they ask her why,
she hangs around bars,
says everyone needs a crust,
her clothes are like wine,
she doesn’t drink doubles,
never walks far,
to gossip is a crime,
each step a lonely star,
works without gloves,
unlike other times,
Okay, when it's good,
but what never charts,
hangs signs or a light,
she can give some thought,
maybe next time.

Can't get by the news,
how you’ve slipped away,
notes tell me the truth,
you took a distant Metro,
finished up your days,
left me with the loans,
I haven't got a clue,
what in heaven's name,
we’re going to do,
everything we call home,
doesn’t seem the same,
the dogs howl and moan,
I play hopeless tunes,
trapped within their gaze,
everything turns blue,
you just left us alone,
as if it was some game,
made jelly of our bones,
do I taste like bitter fruit,
left upon your plate,
demand why you've gone,
dancing in the rain?

Since you've gone away,
I don't know what to do,
but each night pray,
I reach some deathly tone,
see your face in whirlpools,
above me like a plane,
saddened every day,
the sea still surrounds you,
wonder if there’s a way,
you’ll send me the loan,
I don’t want you to,
gardens need to grow,
walls are turning grey,
have I said I love you,
as if on the make,
don’t want to be alone,
not hoping isn’t true,
can’t you take a joke,
my eyes are like jade,
they’ll resist any curfew,
blinking out to space,
you’ll drop by soon.

Like a ship on the sea,
I swear to the night,
let me find a way,
a shoal of lost hordes,
all in flight,
signal the poor,
I seek authority,
between moon and sky,
you let me see,
from the earth's back door,
a terrible why,
floats from the ocean's maw,
curdled by weeds,
their arms bound tight,
who will set them free,
get them to the shore,
do what's right,
face the furore,
please rock me gently,
say everything's fine,
be kind to me lover,
look into my eyes.

I stand by his grave,
where praise be,
I hope to be saved,
my eyes like thunder,
wine dark like the sea,
hate makes me shudder,
from the blue Nave,
cooped to the lee,
he had nothing left,
there is a cluster,
of Poplar trees,
they neither wave nor linger,
my voice starts to break,
it's late for the season,
geese fly over and away,
his face is the wonder,
happy laughing sweet,
that I tore asunder,
it's quiet in this place,
my place of need,
please grant a space,
keep it open for me.
