Look at me I seethe,
is it my grey hair,
do I need new teeth,
why am I always late,
as if you'd care,
use me like a traipse,
what might have been,
it's not fair,
when you’re so easy,
nights I fall and sway,
without a slur,
I can take the strain,
don't sing like the sea,
dabcing eyes like flares,
these fine evenings,
like a fish to the bait,
your eyes blur,
why say I'm great,
are you scared?

Wrong notes make no count,
where else can you go,
this session group has bounce,
forget what's not fair,
in the life of soul,
they know I’m not square,
give the eye and flounce,
don't make them groan,
show them how to dance,
it's not my long hair,
plaided like a tow rope,
that makes them scared,
I fight against the ounce,
stood out here alone,
they know why I’m fat,
my songs make them care,
want for them to own,
those inside the circle,
know they need to know.

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.

Zac
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.
