Beau
Since you've been away,
there’s nothing left to do,
but each night pray,
gone on your fishing boat,
see your face in whirlpools,
act like a dreary one,
spooked by each new day,
surrounded by the blue,
why can't you stay,
always provide the hope,
even when no need to,
help me with the loans,
the sea is turning grey,
waves are rife with spume,
please help me to say,
I'm not good alone,
you were never cruel,
heave your lobster cones,
come back soon.

Can't get ‘round the news,
now you’ve ditched the car,
why no one tells of truth,
say you take the Metro,
speak of broken parts,
leave me with the loans,
I haven't got a clue,
where your savings are,
don't know what to do ,
everything we call home,
lies rusting on the tar,
kids stare out the window,
I sing some hopeless tune,
trapped within my heart,
have to find an avenue.
you're gone from us Joe,
am I just a tart,
to put jelly on our bones,
can only go so far.

We share jokes and push,
hopes on those who can,
geese rise in the dusk,
no one wears a crown,
they take me as I am,
don't put friends down,
those who make a fuss,
are always on the lam,
check out who they cross,
in our Ocean town,
there are no busy trams,
only ships make sounds,
find someone to trust,
you won't need a mask,
wear a hint of musk,
winters I get brown,
laugh before the dust,
am never on my own,
look at my tan.

Oh go to France,
you expect me to say,
Oh have another chance,
I won’t go mute,
your life’s not famed,
to treat me as a dupe ,
in fact you're banned,
once again nailed,
taking me for granted,
laugh if you want to,
your lies mere details,
still make you a fool,
don’t look askance,
when I start to rail,
passion does not last,
shame is but a fugue,
nothing more to say,
not within a curlicue,
to give you my name.

Please don't identify,
one lonely drunken fool,
lolling between me and sky,
nor ask me to suffer,
his lies like broken sewers,
do I look a duffer,
an angel on my wedding night,
where no one is uncouth,
now switches off the light,
why must I consider,
all his bad dreams too,
act like he's a winner,
let sweetness shine bright,
like a few friends do,
buttered dreams candlelight,
keep up with my promises,
an advent of this Cruise,
I’ll just step on it,
wear red spiky shoes.

Sing songs in my car,
put water in my tank,
nothing else goes too far,
thrown about by change,
a banging from the crank,
get ready for your play,
a smile within the dark,
makes my mind go blank,
you drive wild on tar,
what is there to say,
no one knows I'm a bank,
clinging to your forays,
Oh, you are a dog,
no dollars left to stack,
you roll me like a log,
we never know what part,
love lies down the track,
to see what's going on,
who asks for thanks ?

Sometimes I ask why,
can we ever atone,
your eyes on fire,
it's just a shame,
lights burn better alone,
turn on each new day,
not the same at night,
where the wind runs cold,
aches for another time,
kidsndogs bear our name,
we no longer get stoned,
just try to keep sane,
when you hear me cry,
please put down the phone,
it's not enough to sigh,
buy some shiny nails,
help out with the loans,
a house is not a jail,
brighten up our home.
