Fire and evening light, when you play those tunes, don’t even have to try, looking for my phone, I don't have Bluetooth, just a Nokia monotone, the beach comes to life, cool grains soothe, above us Freeway lights, bring ease to our bones, accept all that we do, even when stoned, a return to paradise, we never make the news, just a better life, to shelter all that's gone, something we can glue, instead of being alone, it’s not always nice, to blurt out the truth, scan newspaper files, what it is to lose.

Why dredge the malls, sit down in the rain, hover at the hospital’s door, you are never at home, it’s just a shame, cool stuff makes you roam, what am I saying this for, there’s nothing much to gain, while you run with whores, can't you be alone, dance around my pain, recognise that love has croaked, you know the tone, your face in savage shade, eyeballs on the bone, don't spit on the floor, or cry out my name, I’m not with you anymore, when you slip you’ll fall, I never want to say, this time is too raw, face myself again.

Sometimes I ask why, can we ever atone, when my tongue’s like ice, wouldn’t it be great, to light our bitter home, night and day, but not blessed with foresight, the wind runs cold, I pour another wine, are kids and dogs your game, your eyes look old, listen just the same, when you hear me cry, don’t ask too much of love, it's not enough to sigh, hammer shiny nails, help me with the loan, make this place a jail, no matter how we fight, or beat our yellow bones, we can do what’s right, quietly all alone.

Katie

Sad songs in my car, hot water in my tank, nothing leaves a tide mark, touched by your stupid ways, a ticking from the crank, an awful terrible waste, you steer within the dark, make even sunshine dank, scatter ashes on the bar, what is left to say, my mind is empty blank, clings to a brighter day, Oh you are a dog, a million ways to crack, split me like a log, brought me to this state, as if I was a bank, I’m bust now anyway, we never know how far, what lies down the track, to see what's going on, who we have to thank?

Raymond Three

Please don't identify, this long lonely pool, between me and the sky, tell me it’s nothing, might as well be a sewer, you never suffer, to stay for these nights, no one’s amused, what gives you the right, don’t want me to bother, shed my bad dreams too, do I look like a winner, bring sweetness to the light, laugh at my views, buttered dreams sweet fire, savour the offer, say what is true, instead of phoney proverbs, don’t ask me why, I’m always losing, you dressed all in white, this long afternoon

Raymond Two

We’ll make our mark, won’t look like shoeshines, rise early in the dark, hankering for love, most of our nights, but worry what's above, in a supermarket car park, we drink loads of wine, hang around cars, we all need a crust, anything suits us fine, we laugh at the double, never walk far, it’s just low level crime, each step more scars, we work without gloves, put ourselves on the line, Okay, when it's good, but never a star, to show us what's right, still we search, our eyes to the sky.

Raymond

Can you bring serenity, to this creature in a jar, rescued from the sea, like someone in a grave, wears a lack of spark, something you can't name, one who sets you free, like a bell from afar, back to childhood dreams, maybe it's a different age, we drive around in cars, but I still feel strange, nothing fills my need, except this salty dog, makes me want to scream, to dance by the waves, life wrapped around a spar, rid the stuff that's wreckage, the only thing real, is that far off star, shining above the jetty, I don’t half miss me Da?
