Delilah
Don't break holy orders,
claim it’s all your mother,
stuff you swore,
no lover's free to cash,
all the stuff I smother,
window frames without a sash,
you can see much more,
belly raging like an oven,
a flaming burning core,
when money's not on tap,
I rage against my brother,
he says I talk crap,
he’ll pay a heavy score,
fools live without clutter,
then run away fraught,
no Trusts or deeds stashed,
I can’t lie like others,
ignore the daily car crash,
why I cook with butter.
Chrissy
Lit up at some ocean bar,
well within the hurricane zones,
I search forgotten charts,
only fools pay dues,
leave you to drink alone,
trade on someone’s virtue,
you can only go so far,
before the thing unfolds,
start to chant C’mon,
even without a feud,
on throwaway 'phones,
my ravaged face is Blue,
his hair spiked like tar,
saints reveal their bones,
where is my lovely Da,
a trail so well used,
far away from home,
pass me ‘round a tissue,
find my lucky stone.

I throw away the years,
every age has its must,
the laughs and happy tears,
eeach ife too short,
for the ones you trust,
within our toil of waters,
you run like the deer,
there’s a hint of musk,
under stars you step clear,
I knew you’d be sought,
spinning pennies in the dust,
but never overawed,
what brought you here,
on this tidal flood,
a woman so sincere,
no book or district Court,
hides the fact you’re bust,
that’s what I thought,
blow flame across my fears,
bring me all the luck,
laugh before you disappear,
geese rise in the dusk.

C’mon don’t let me flail,
a snowball left to dance,
in rooms of darkest pale,
I always play the fool,
waiting for the pass,
maybe a path to smooth,
nothing more to say,
so little bodes pure chance,
when you go away,
I rage against your news,
lilac as a lonely fast,
why it feeds our feuds,
is my life a freight train,
brakes always getting slammed,
help me to the tollgate,
tell me what to do,
pull over make a stance,
you're nobody’s fool,
spare this fool a chance.

standing by my lamp,
a tree, a bridge, shaking,
waiting here like a tramp,
listen to some muted song,
who would ever negate,
my need to belong,
better take a chance,
always play this game,
take a trip to France,
hope I’m not wrong,
looking at the rain,
stream against the bog,
ask how much this path,
shuffles my remains,
no more rounds to cast,
someone will come along,
say Heh Pal your great,
give a coin or locket,
makes me praise each day.

Wouldn't it be great,
to forget what we owe,
celebrate the remains,
kick the speeding wrongs,
when pavements shin our bones,
within us all our song,
keep lookout for the rain,
tumble down naked slopes,
play amongst the drains,
we'll just carry on,
fly with all we know,
assert in being strong,
fling our time away,
shiny as the fallen snow,
freight arrives anyway,
I’ll never let you down,
or worry about the loan,
you have no need to frown,
we will always grow.

Living here's no paradise,
It never makes the news,
always tries to be nice,
might as well be space,
streets around the moon,
everyone waiting on some date,
you can’t order life,
tell it what to do,
take out all the spite,
our song still resonates,
a feeling for a tune,
carrying all our weight,
a place to make us smile,
no matter what we do,
beneath orange lamp lights,
this is what we create,
singing with the crew,
home fills the easy nights,
searching for our youth.
