I still hear me Da,
laughing like a foghorn,
long time seems so far,
happy he's not scarred,
by what went before,
when he raised the bar,
he's like a newborn,
a fallen bright star,
I turn the car key off,
like he's left the ark
doesn't know what's gone,
he can’t find a chart,
his face looks war-torn,
worries about my Ma,
he’s not even sure,
so tell me the part',
where we get starved,
on trips to the park,
the new shirt scorned,
things fall apart,
life has no form,.
Love is the art.

Bellow at dreams betrayed,
conceal bitter holy things,
take them to your grave,
you cant afford the Blues,
where everthing just plinks,
heavy notes end on cue,
what a sound they make,
curdled bad to everything,
who cares about your fate,
smoke ciggies in a fugue,
call on those to berate,
all the bad luck u used,
it rolls around your days,
you really want to fling,
salt that stuff far away,
here's something for you,
a new toy that rings,
tells you what's true,
stop gambling and say,
love to me is everything,
if you can’t cheat age,
find a place to sing.

Please let me know,
how others might feel,
jelly in your bones,
my smile seems strange,
hang a mist on trees,
people lie every day,
take your time now,
forget all the screams,
river's always flow,
love the pouring rain,
pretend it's a stream,
bathe your sins away,
nothing to bestow,
free from lazy schemes,
life's a picture show,
strong to be a saint,
living with a dream,
beat dread uncertainty,
what you did was wrong,
can't be concealed,
rejoice now in song,
dance a reel.

Forget all these clowns,
who come to woo you,
so many with lousy plans,
as many as your woes,
ships blow their hooters,
let them sing and blow,
it's not your gowns,
that makes them swoon,
nor your faultless tan,
you don't need a throne,
in bars when shoeless,
to welcome them home,
nothing comes by chance,
your eyes transluscent,
everything's a balance,
barefoot rise alone,
shameless eyes on view,
exude radiant tones,
funny in ocean towns,
the old faded boozers,
places you wear a crown,
you the queen of losers.

You tread a heavy floor,
a face of savage blue,
yr pride swollen raw,
there's no sense of ease,
within this furious mood,
never one to say please,
point to some distant shore,
resting in the gloom,
where you want me to go,
when you want to meet,
is always on your purview,
to nail my itchy feet,
you walk on lonely stones,
a crumb of life anew,
sweat your angry bones,
why shout and swear deceit,
spilling out your spume,
only a fool takes heed,
as you rage and roar,
you'll never be my glue,
there are other boys,
well beyond you.

Wwater's in your blood,
in this house of whispers,
does it do you any good,
places you might claim,
don't need a chorus,
to May blossom again,
why be misunderstood,
give away your bonus,
always expect trouble,
hire a different brain,
take what life insists,
laughter follows pain,
maybe you need a tug,
sail without a ship,
dream more than dust,
search for love trains,
ride the far distance,
never bow to shame.
fight the tidal flood,
rise above the fuss,
go beyond the crumbs,
plenty in all of us.

Don't tell me to imitate,
your inventive best,
make you twist and quake,
open every spoor,
level off your fences,
help you off the horse,
fuelled by what you slake,
your time like the rest,
has nothing else to break,
spring up off the floor,
faith brings you a test,
how to count that score,
each night's cool probate,
wrestles with yr innocence,
desperate to emulate,
the love of restless poor,
who you regard worthless,
pleading at your door,
in your search for gain,
remember each act tended,
will come back again,
spirits contested.
