- Dressmaker
Make it shorter and make it tight
In the ambiance by the fire
Should you ever come to ruin a hem, just take your time and try to make it whole again.
Look for anything that seems nice
- John Wilson
It’s hard to be creative with people around. It’s hard to stay focused when it’s all much too loud.
So I put on my shoes. No specific goal. I tighten the laces. I’m ready to go.
Olivia writes something. “Do you like these ideas?” I like to go places. She likes to stay here. My name is John Wilson, and I’m an architect. I’d like to go places, but I stay home instead.
It’s hard to stay sober with all these drinks around. It’s hard to build friendships in this part of town.
- Leviathan
I dreamed I spoke to a whale and she sang, and she sang to me.
And I kissed a long time friend and she swam, and she swam to me.
As I was a lonely diver in the middle of a cold, cold sea.
So I sang with my dear whale, and the bull sharks were staring at me.
- Lighthouse
Shed your light out onto the ocean
Saved or Saviour – it’s just the same
For a lighthouse in Nova Scotia
With a doorbell that carries your name
There’s a whaler outside, hoping someday to get home
He’s been away for far too long
There’s a whaler outside, hoping someday to get home
- On The Couch
I slept in the train on the day I left home
I slept on the couch at her place all alone
We took silly pictures with unselfish smiles;
embraced for too long and then muttered “Good Night”
- The Great Pacific Northwest
The calluses on the trees around you
It’s frightening and intimate as well
The quiet and the fir trees they have found you
You’re shivering behind me I can tell
- The Lion Tamer
Girl, you’re not a lion tamer
so leave the lions well alone.
When you realize the danger
a lion poses kept at home…
