You scream the news,
in troubled nights,
as if you knew,
all the different songs,
left hanging on the line,
you let loose and gone,
fire burns in the flue,
don't tell me how to cry,
when you sing the blues,
it’s not me who's locked,
swimming against the tide,
losing everything lost,
no matter what you use,
however hard you try,
no one is immune,
who cares who is crocked,
something deep inside,
shines outside my shock,
I won't hit that tune,
clouds furl the sky,
death brings no easy due,
especially if you lie.

I throw away the years,
every age has its crust,
the laughs and happy tears,
no life is too short,
for those who you trust,
in our toil of waters,
you run like the deer,
carry a smell of musk,
in hazy bars so dear,
I know what you taught,
spinning pennies in the dust,
laughing never overawed,
what brought you here,
on this tidal flood,
somone so sincere,
no book or district Court,
hides the fact you’re bust,
what you sought,
blow flame across my fears,
bring me all the luck,
I hope before you disappear,
geese ride on the dusk.

Lit up at some ocean bar,
within the hurricane zones,
searching forgotten odds,
only dumbo's pay their dues,
make you drink alone,
leave you here to stew,
we can only go so far,
before the evening folds,
to bring out dodgy cards,
even without a feud,
on throwaway 'phones,
my ravaged face turns Blue,
your hair is like tar,
Saints reveal their bones,
we've so gone afar,
the trail is well used,
far away from home,
life circles around us,
ours is not a lucky star,
whenever we are smote,
hotels offer us a Spa,
journeys of love bespoke.

Don't break holy orders,
claim it’s all your mother,
stuff you swore,
lover's free to stash,
all the stuff you smother,
windows without a sash,
can you see my core,
a belly like an oven,
flames that will endure,
whenever there's no cash,
you curse your brother,
he says don't be flash,
hard words behind his door,
fools live with clutter,
hands held out fraught,
no book or deeds lashed,
must you lie like others,
ignore their crash,
they'll pay a heavy score,
always be in trouble,
love for you is raw,
have you got cover?

Wrong notes I throw away,
what else can you do,
session muso's look grave,
forget what's not fair,
life's not a pool,
we're not that square,
give the eye don't hesitate,
why try to act the fool,
show them our silky traits,
it's not my long hair,
plaided like Saskatoon,
that makes them scared,
we go against the grain,
out here in the blue,
engineers and delegates,
our songs make them care,
think we're full of virtue,
those inside the circle,
singing keeps us resonate,
their world's not of fools,
hands across my face,
they know I love you.

Bring me sparkling jewels,
let me laugh through tears,
never to be cruel,
my voice brings you grace,
what else can you hear,
there is no bad faith,
turn your head you fool,
meet this siren near,
don't ever act bemused,
my singing seals your fate,
perfume costs you dear,
listen before too late,
dreams bring other rules,
an ached for vision clear,
golden domes pursued,
along the shipping lanes,
whole lives move their gear,
some carry too much freight,
laugh at torrid news,
find a passage clear,
put aside your issues,
sail for better years.

I'll stay with you,
if I'm not too late,
stick to you like glue,
don't make me groan,
like a special case,
happiness is never forlorn,
I'll borrow the moon,
reach beyond church or state,
make you beat bad fortune,
we are never alone,
around corners or gates,
even a promenade of stones,
tell me the truth,
if your vision's so great,
why sleep in ruins,
maybe a broken home,
lets me stake my case,
dusty as a heavy tome,
please don't argue,
take me as your mate,
forget all the rumours,
love doesn’t age.
