Say you want to rule,
riding on a high tide,
sinking ships of fools,
think you are so great,
when others ask why,
do they know anything,
it does no good,
taking you to one side,
such a face you pull,
your eyes spin away,
dance like fireflies,
no issue what you say,
it’s a poor gruel,
for such fragrent lies,
is that all of you ,
here in this lane,
you only get one life,
who really holds sway,
before your demise ?

If they cook with gas,
turn the flame up,
make sure its a blast,
faces red as hot coals,
the men you love,
are longing for home,
silken ones trapped,
bewail their bad luck,
turn pale collapse,
'phone back the most,
roll in the muck,
want beaten at posts,
drink wine perhaps,
say will have no truck,
attend holy Mass,
their eyes on ropes,
consider them fluff,
you pick from your clothes,
not one of them lasts,
without some cluck,
some shout witch,
give them a shrug.

Nothing much relates,
a knife to the throat,
it’s not easy to escape,
but I'll beat them down,
blood on their boat,
they'll sing my tunes,
if they survive the wait,
feel it in my bones,
stealth is my pilot,
never mind their hooks,
they won’t reach home,
suffer my revenge on fools,
the sea's a brass plate,
where they remain forlorn,
waiting for my gaze,
I'll escape the rope,
no one makes me stoop,
know what is their fate,
bullies are all show,
not at all my taste,
do you want to roam,
Davy Jones grave ?

She won't have you,
even in a picure frame,
specially if you booze
eyes scrubbed by fire,
how to keep the flame,
she's holding the wire,
doesn’t do feuds,
says fools bathe in haste,
know how they lose,
anything you desire,
makes it hard to disdain,
when sung in a choir,
what she's been through,
can’t be wished away,
c'mon tell the truth,
her lips won't ask why,
you live with the strain,
forget about the line,
her heart seeks good news,
the oxygen of aerospace,
put on your dancing shoes,
Spring’s here again ?

Not burning with hope,
if he gets in again,
sails that slippery slope,
never stop to choose,
sanctify his blame,
suffer his fear of losing,
is it such a joke,
campaign speeches every day,
as if you didn't know,
you'll never get the truth,
others stand and gape,
see the enemy as you,
wonder if you'll cope,
will always have your say,
but there’a so many dopes,
to bathe in his spew,
shiny adverts jaundiced mail,
even love gets duped,
things you can’t condone,
are blown away by gales,
he'll dance on hot stones,
for those he hates.

It’s around this time,
my mother comes,
always with a different sigh,
asks why no one 'fones,
no matter what they’ve done,
would it cut their throats,
a fertile ring of chimes,
takes account of being glum,
she enjoys family crises,
never arrives alone,
wants to have some fun,
brings some beat or showman,
it’s me who has to shine,
pleading c’mon mum,
nerves before a climb,
it nourishes her bones,
to beat the little drum,
upset is all she knows,
cruel to be kind,
she won't waste a crumb,
a forever moaning child,'
now she's gone ?

You stretch our sunny days,
smile an absent dream,
now you're on your way,
don’t bring us bad news,
like a losing team,
say what we have to do,
we're listening in the rain,
down by the Slate quays,
want to see you again,
there’s a spirit in you,
that’s hard to please,
why play by broken rules,
we’ll work and save,
give whatever you need,
won't hear of your wails,
the lovers mistook,
on your mad schemes,
now you're all cool,
we're melting away,
a burned out empty feeling,
you sip tea and cakes,
is this how it seems ?
