Like your ship at sea,
I swear to the night,
you will hear from me,
yours is a rotten core,
riddled with lies,
hung on your cabin door,
your lost imdemnity,
between moon and sky,
won't fall upon me
from the earth's floor,
I utter a terrible cry,
you are cursed forever more,
I’ll see you in weeds,
my lips pursed,
now the caged birds sing,
here on the shore,
I’ll prepare a delight,
there’ll be no furore,
just rock you gently,
go slow with the knife,
call you Baby,
look into my eyes.

Clouds cross the sky,
life brings no easy dues,
even when you die,
who cares what’s fake,
something's always new,
shines brightly in the grate,
feelings deep inside,
kept within a curfew,
makes me want to cry,
barriers you create,
ahake me like a fool,
they should shape,
dreams we sail into night,
love is not immune,
shall we have a try,
fail when you castigate,
another cause to rue,
then walk away,
fly on troubled flights,
rise and sink a few,
no more questions why,
what's eating you ?

Don't look at me askance,
why expect me to stay
give you another chance
I won't turn cute,
make a life true fake,
you're not that stupid,
fact it's your Clan,
once again nailed,
any love to the caravan,
plead all you want to,
your lies are mere details,
who are you to smooze,'
lay blame on your parents,
when I start to rail,
don't hold me like that,
shame doesn’t bother you,
leave me some space,
you won’t need a tune,
to slide down the scale,
let go of my hand,
don’t whisper my name,
ship out to France.

We share jokes and spit,
with those who reappear,
shadows rise in the mist,
no one owns a crown,
to be anchored here,
we're like upside down,
those of us who trust,
always hold her dear,
rivers she has crossed,
in our Ocean town,
not only light is clear,
you know who is around,
someone you can kid,
who walks without fear,
carries a hint of musk,
everywhere she goes,
she banishes tears,
fights for her own,
dispels failing years,
singing songs a crust,
voice sweet as a seer,
seeps into dust.

Please don't ask me why,
this lonely swimming pool,
sits between me and sky,
tell me it’s nothing,
our days getting fewer,
make me a better offer,
songs on our wedding night,
I believed uncouth,
stuff you said you'd right,
do you want me to suffer,
with your bad dreams too,
always acting the winner,
sweetness calms evening light,
our cabin's become a curfew,
buttered dreams candlelight,
don't act like your father,
buying us with his cruise,
treat me with some honour,
why seek for my thighs,
am i just a dude,
won't dance at twilight,
I’ve paid my dues.

Sometimes I ask why,
can we ever be alone,
our eyes on fire,
my Ma says its shame,
lights our sordid home,
each sorry night and day,
such rare foresight,
the wind blows cold,
stay here by my side,
kids bear your name,
you've let them roam,
need to change lanes,
when you hear me cry,
hand me a hanging phone,
it's not enough to sigh,
buy some shiny nails,
help me with the loans,
let's fix up this place,
no matter how we fight,
bruise our yelloww bones,
we can do this right,
better than going.

Unhappy songs on my barque,
funds still in the bank,
vapour trails leave no mark,
blown in on the Bay,
a ticking of the crank,
I might even stay,
a peek inside the bars,
blue air smells dank,
won't be looking very far,
what is there to say,
my mind's already blank,
maybe it's best this way,
Oh you are a dog,
no one else to thank,
rolled me like a log,
brought me to this state,
left me a ham shank
sailing out's my getaway,
you’ll never know La,
how hard a hammer can crack,
won't see no door ajar,
gas still in my tank.
