Lellani
Stand by an unlit lamp,
a tree, a bridge, lakes,
folded clothes in a pram,
hear some muted song,
you'd never ever say,
I used to belong,
better take a chance,
seek to play this game,
maybe do a dance,
hope I’m not wrong,
looking at the rain,
stream on a lonely bar,
wonder at the cost,
shuffled hands contain,
other wounds to lance,
who will come along,
say girl come this way,
maybe get a pound,
cigarettes a few laughs,
drink cheap champagne,
my life chances,
blaze each new day.

You won't see me pale,
spit upon the dance,
wait for someone's mail,
play at being unusual,
ask for kindness to pass,
claim to be uncool,
lift my voice to state,
life's a game of chance,
now you've come my way,
I rage against the blues,
sputter at a lonely past,
make everything a feud,
cry like a fighter,
toughen my elan,
push on down the highway,
I know what to do,
now create a stand,
don't treat me as a fool,
roll me over again,
test your eyes for balance,
say what you want to say,
get another chance.

I toss away the years,
every age has its dust,
laughs and happy tears,
no life is too short,
believe in those you trust,
within our toil of waters,
you run like the deer,
with a smell of musk,
crowded bars draw you near,
I knew you’d be caught,
spinning dollars for a crust,
nothing makes you overawed,
what brought me here,
bathed in a bridal flood,
for you to be sincere,
no book or district Court,
hides the fact you're bust,
it's not what I sought,
you flame across my fears,
transfer me some luck,
hope before you disappear,
in the lilac dusk.

Lit up like some ocean bar,
within a hurricane zone,
why lose forgotten laws,
only fools pay their dues,
let you drink alone,
leave you here to stew,
you can only go so far,
before the lining shows,
the suit falls apart,
even without a feud,
on throwaway 'phones,
you turn the air Blue,
hair matted like tar,
luck reveal its bones,
do you know how far,
this trail you abused,
so far away from home,
now circles around you,
yours' not a lucky star,
to hit the right note,
the reckoning of Karma,
my tale of love jokes.

Can't hide holy orders,
claim it’s too much bother,
idle things sworn upon,
love is free from cash,
all the stuff I smothered,
a window without a sash,
can you see my core,
a belly like an oven,
alive to all your flaws,
whenever money's on tap,
you curse my brothers,
say work is a trap,
bottles hidden beneath floors,
fools live with clutter,
then run away fraught,
house and deeds get lashed,
I won’t lie like others,
ignore all their trash,
pay a heavy score,
I’ll always be forever,
life for me is raw,
you better take cover.

Lucky I pass this way,
each evening conjugate,
why no one here is brave,
fly like the deer,
silent on the paths I take,
can’t tell what is fear,
by broken laws pray,
define myself as great,
swift in all such crazes,
will take a glass of beer,
even laugh too late,
an innocent musketeer,
bells ring out by day,
hope must not turn grey,
wait on those to delegate,
other stuff brings tears,
why scream or hesitate,
let other souls come near,
my yellow hair is waved,
summer's joy and forays,
lovers are plaster Saints,
don't hide in the shade.
Freya
Cold blue slate,
like veins through your bones,
let's you make the case,
you give money to fools,
have no phone,
but smile like a jewel,
why try to engage,
with someone who's gone,
just leave all that baggage,
you don't need proof,
when I sit and moan,
say I'll show you,
there are few reprobates,
come in on weather zones,
who understand your faith,
they say I swooned,
made a real show,
when they locked this room,
I’ll blow that safe,
put on summer clothes,
find gold in the grate,
honour your soul.
