Is this really the place,
to ask the reason why,
if I'm so lover ashamed,
his haze of gloss and show,
he beats out his time,
has nowhere else to go,
soaked in an island way,
desolate in his cry,
he tries to use me again,
what I need righ now,
he rages at the sky,
is a woman who follows,
when he jumps bail,
boxcar rails safe to climb,
wants me help him sail,
I diss his lips and go,
banish this loser's ride,
let him plough his furrow,
no easy way to fake,
he's hurt me deep inside,
I'm leaving this jail,
eyes open wide.

Before my fame,
I only thought of you,
and what you craved,
shadows rest in blue smoke,
uncover an awful truth,
shocked again I'm broke,
why did you always waste,
my successful tunes,
used me as your purchase,
at dingy clubs alone,
ornate absent rooms,
stripped me to the bone,
then astride the cafe's,
I watched you bloom,
forget the lonely days,
prized holding forth,
flatulent men soothed,
faces like atone,
to begin over again,
it's hardly new,
this is a different age,
is it always you ?

Can you please signify,
through that back door,
between moon and sky,
why cash has been emptied,
and other parts floored,
by your high tide,
don't need an inquiry,
when truth is bought,
with what you hide,
witness the ferry ,
after you’re caught,
where rich men dine,
some drink Daiquiri,
laugh even bored,
what makes them happy,
each walk of life,
ends in a nought,
should see their wives,
by security heavies,
pooled on the porch,
in winter's crevisse,
do you keep score ?

Some mornings I ask why,
can we ever atone,
pale before children’s eyes,
could well be too far,
for all my crowing,
no answer's at the bar,
they eat within my sight,
wind runs black and cold,
you’re never here by rights,
if it's them or big cars,
you better lose the show,
rage while I stay calm,
looking for another fight,
am weary of your moans,
no love is withou light,
if there is another war,
and you are still at home,
see what you're taking on,
trugh is at home tonight,
it strains our yellow bones,
look upto the sky awhile,
hold the fire for now.

Wouldn't it be great,
to forget how much we owe,
celebrate what we gain,
kick the need for wrong,
let sunlight fill our bones,
bless us all with song,
I'm careful of the rain,
pound a weary slope,
gone are the missing drains,
can we just bumble along,
fly with what we know,
tell ourselves we're strong,
fling the watch away,
shiny in the fallen snow,
time will find us anyway,
I’ll never let you down,
won't worry about the loans,
you have no need to drown,
paint my lips red ornate,
seek where the places grow,
drink whiske chasers,
you'll never walk alone.

Ginny
Stood by an unlit lamp,
sees a tree, a hand shakes,
waiting like a tramp,
listens to some muted song,
inside a head that breaks,
any need to belong,
better take a chance,
if he plays this game,
let me measure distance,
hope that I'm not wrong,
looking at the rain,
perhaps he'll come along,
it streams the window bar,
what's the use of remains,
to shuffle to the tar,
many wounds are lanced,
a small whiskey for his say,
leant a hand in dance,
attempt to cheer and stamp,
Brother its my lucky day,
put something in his pocket,
brighten a sweet journey.

You don't like me well,
find other souls to dance,
in rooms of painted shell,
always play the fool,
waiting for faintness to pass,
no path to you runs smooth,
nothing works so you yell,
there's little of your prance,
when you drive cursing hell,
I rage against your feuds,
blue as at a lonely fast,
why do they get to you,
life is not some spell,
carrying you to France,
heroic as the bookk of Kells,
I’ll tell you what to do,
stand up take a stance,
sweep away the gruel,
whirl me 'round and tell,
take me as your ballast,
say you'll ring the bell,
chance baby chance,
