And in time
Someone will act the age
In the chance
Fear, love and hope will rage

When you wake next year
I'll be lying here
Round you

Sweet Jesus I'm on fire
She has the sweetest, darkest eyes
And when it comes into her eyes
I know iron and steel couldn't hold me
But god I'm easy bruised
But so often a moth to her flame
And the things that she's asked me to do
Would see a senior saint

What's got into me? Can't believe myself!
Must be someone else. Must be someone else. Must be,

Any day now hows about getting out of this place. Any ways.
Got a lot of spare time. Some of my youth and all of my senses on overdrive

What's got into me? Can't believe myself!
Lately,

Were you crushed
Did I rush you
All my time is yours
My twisted heart is yours
The faithless shit is yours
The shameless fits of love that only smother you for moments
Until I fold them up and leave
All yours

Suddenly last summer
I started going out of my head
In a tiny hotel room
Lying naked on a bed
I knew what you were doing, and I knew what you'd done
Your life with me was ending, your new life had begun
But I was cursing your name, and I was cursing that room
And I was praying for the strength to stop loving you

You wont stop the rain
Here's what I suggest
Keep in mind a face
Like a flower pressed
Pick it and hold it as holy in the corner of your mind
The face wont grow older if you can see behind the eyes
I never thought I'd find my feet
You left and I knew every second heartbeat is for you

You're a girl in this vicinity
I'm a dog without a collar on
This cattle-market cabaret
Is the Sabbath every Saturday
I'm full of wit and chivalry
Until you've given in to me
I'm a dog without a collar on
You're a girl in this vicinity

Low bright February shadows
And I can hear a school
A woman humming to the radio (wireless)
That never didn't improve the tune
Margaret Saddleworth
DNA of those dark and bitter days
No, it never came my way
Titania in corduroy and Marigolds

Can't stop thinking
I won't stop drinking
I need that comfort
I don't need discipline
Twilights tailing
I had self belief (They don't compromise)
This has battered me
That's my history

Found the hole and slipped on through
Kissed the stones and learnt the lines
Jump the cue all the time forgetting you
Best disheveled lover three years running
Coming second to a picket fence
White, nine to five who's just alive

Beyond repair, there is nothing to say

It's crawling with idiot
I'm itching to leave
I'm soft with fatigue I need something

I've never seen anything quite like you
In here

Come on it's not serious

Don't mix your drinks
Don't mix with him
It will kill you one day

Good advice, sound advice
Why can't you be more like him
Like me
Look what you could achieve

Baby
Empires crumble all the time
Pay it no mind
You just happened to witness mine
Don't let all the light fall from your eyes
Come come
Empires crumble all the time
How can a dismally typical Tuesday

Lyrics to Fallen Angel :
All the fallen angels
Roostin’ in this place
Count back the weeks on worried fingers
Virgin mother whats’erface

Chorus
You don’t need to sleep alone

Flying dream one
Dead of the night when the prayer group was gone
Mum and my sisters all blissful and feathered
Candlewick swaddled my golden wee brother
Dad's across town tonight fixing the mirror
Shaking his head at a richer man's grammar
Swerving the creek as I slide to the steps
Tighten my dressing gown, mutter and merry

They're pacing Piccadilly in packs again
And moaning for the mercy of a never come rain
The sun's had enough and the simmering sky
Has the heave and the hue of a woman on fire

Shop shutters rattle down and I'm cutting the crowd
All scented and descending from the satellite towns
The neon is graffiti singing make a new start

Lost in a lullaby
Side of the road
Melt in a memory
Slide in a solitude
Not 'til I can read by the moon
Am I going anywhere
Not 'til I can read by the moon

The borrowed air a baby breathes
A falling helicopter seed
I forget which tree

Advice from friends less drunk than me
A falling helicopter seed
I forget which tree

[Verse 1]
I will fly swift and true straight to you, like an arrow
Just to be where you lie
Meet my quest, do my shambling best to be near you
Where you lie
I've found peace in your arms

[Chorus]

What's to do?
Didn't they want to play?
Not to fret
Wait a while
Do it again
Glory be
I died and went to France
Now I'm climbing carpet walls

And if it rains all day
Call on you I'll call on you
Like I used to
Slide down beside and wrap you in stories
Tailored entirely for you
I'll remind you
We exchanged a vow
I love you I always will

[Intro]
Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid

[Verse 1]
I’ve been working on a cocktail called “Grounds For Divorce”
Polishing a compass that I hold in my sleep
Doubt comes in on sticks, but then he kicks like a horse
There’s a Chinese cigarette case and the rest you can keep

Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid
I've been working on a cocktail called "Grounds For Divorce"
Whoah
Polishing a compass that I hold in my sleeve
Whoah
Down comes him on sticks but then he kicks like a horse
Whoah
There's a Chinese cigarette case and the rest you can keep

There's a laddered tear in my high ideals
Like I took a chair on the battle field
And any noble fire that was burning in my chest
Is acid in my belly at the very best

There's a bayonet in my family things
It was made in the USA to defend the king
And though the sinew, that thrust

lay down your cross
cross off your day
lady lady

turn off your phone
lie where you lay
lady lady
please please

I'm sick of working for a living
I'm just ticking off the days till I die
Oh, I miss you Louise, yeah...
And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth

Oh periscope up
I've been looking for a ladder
I need to see the commander in chief

Lippy kids on the corner again
Lippy kids on the corner begin
Settling like crows
Though I never perfected the simian stroll
The cigarettes and it was everything then

Do they know those days are golden?
Build a rocket boys

The whole towns slippin down a hill.
Like the spine of something dead.
Slide in shadow cobble-creep.
Burn your mark and leave.

The trench conventions yellow eyes
Follow her the local flower
The girls a priest (to me at least)

See you standing in the door against the dark
Fireflies around you like a crown of sparks
You blow me a kiss that blurs my vision
Blurs the human condition

It's your eyes I want to see
Looking into mine
Got you live on my mind

Loss took human form
He sits at every table and he doesn't eat a thing
Stands at the piano and he never sings
He must be 6' tall
I'd have recognised his footsteps anywhere at all
He used to throw me round the room

Roads lead to roads lead to

fell like a crippled crow spinning through and breaking branches
i'm in a bad way
call my friends they'll know what to do
i'm a better friend than i've ever been a lover
and that's not saying much
but i'm not saying much today

in this cellular age phone sex is too expensive

Shifting my weight now from foot to foot
What did she see in this man
I'm not superstitious but if I can get
This ball in the basket
Then he'll wake up dead

Your sweet reassurances don't change the fact
That he's better looking than me

I plant the kind of kiss
That wouldn't wake a baby
On the self same face
The lie wouldn't let me sleep
And the street is singing with my feet
And dawn gives me a shadow I know to be taller
All down to you, dear
Everything has changed

My senses arise like the dark desert skies on the counties
And all things collide when the blacks of her eyes hit my soul
The blackbird he cries to the ghosts of the night to be faithful
And we all stand in line cos we think it's polite to be bored

And you say that it's not what you say
And it's always the same like the memory's slain on the day

Any mist on the common ground
Will lift with a kiss
Our love is these days' piano
Oh, there's oceans of tea
And years of TV
But I miss you
My trouble is
I miss you, my trouble

The first to pour a simple truth in words
Binds the world in a feeling all familiar
'Cause everybody owns the great ideas
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner

A tenner, up and out into New York
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
And oh, my giddy aunt, New York can talk

I'll be the corpse in your bathtub
Useless
I'll be as deaf as a post
If you hold me like a newborn
Whisper what you feel
My badly strung declaration
To You
You'll spend the end of your days

Pull the final splinters
Of missing picture winters
You have to give yourself a break
What's the fascination
With lovers at the station
You have to tear yourself away

Chorus

This day is made of hope and space
And home like I have never known
I found it in your perfect face
When we were on Deronda Road
(Home like I have never known)
(Home like I have never known)
(Home like I have never known)
(Home like I have never known)

Drinking in the morning sun
Blinking in the morning sun
Shaking off the heavy one
Heavy like a loaded gun

What made me behave that way?
Using words I never say
I can only think it must be love

Nazi's and Morris dancers
Cookery and home improvement shows
All mysteries to me
All mysteries to me
Oh yeah

Gymnasiums amaze me
And building schemes confuse you

You're a law unto yourself
And we don't suffer dreamers
But neither should you walk the earth alone
So with finger rolls and folding chairs
And a volley of streamers
We can be there for tweaks and repairs
Should you come back home
We got open arms for broken hearts

Drinking
In order to feel
Thinking
Reinventing the wheel
Kicking up mischief and feeding the fire
Kicking up mischief and walking the wire

Little fish you count for nothing

Your eyes are just like black spiders
Your hair and dress in ribbons
Babycakes
In despair or incoherent, nothing in between
China white, my bride tonight
Smiling on the tiles

Bring that minute back

I leaned on you today
I regularly hurt but never say
I nearly wore the window through
Where was air sea rescue?
The cavalry with tea and sympathy
You were there
Puncture repair
I leaned on you today

Come as you are sweetheart, come as you are.
You know you've got nothing to prove
I'll put you to bed you can let it all go
You've been playing too rough lately

You burn too bright
You live too fast
This can't go on too long

We blew the doors didn't we?
Pissed in their champagne
And did a real thing didn't we?
Gave ourselves a name
And peeled away the shame
I wanted to explode
To pull my ribs apart
And let the sun inside

And so she woke up, she woke up
From where she was lying still
Said, I gotta do something
About where we're going

Step on a fast train
Step out of the driving rain
Maybe run from the darkness

Been climbing trees I've skinned my knees
My hands are black the sun is going down
She scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam
She's listening to the dream I weaved today
Crosswords through the bathroom door
While someone sings the theme-tune to the news
And my sister buzzes through the room leaving perfume in the air
And that's what triggered this.

I see ahead by a hundred moves
And I saw you, but I let you saw me in two
'Cause that's what illusionists do
The way you kissed me when you lost another valentine
The way you kissed me when you lost another valentine
The way you kissed me when you lost another valentine
There's no roses in this garden
No sun melting in the sea

I'm falling in love with you
I'm falling in love with you
Six words released like pearls
Into the brightening ether
And oh, to read those words returned
I'm fuzzy, I've stumbled onto
Some heavenly escalator

Stuff was started, things had ends
Stuff regarding all my friends
Some were married all were fine
These are good friends these are mine

I got deep warm drunk
And I lost my words
And it does not hurt

tied this letter to a red balloon
flew this letter off across the rooves
along with all the plans i made

over crippled cranes and twisted steel
deadlines overgrown and missing wheels
a 'told you so' communique

How dare the Premier
Ignore my invitations?
He'll have to go
So, too, the bunch
He luncheons with
It's second
On my list
Of things to do

Phone sex delirium
Leads me into town
Love over here and there
Blessed while dressed and down

Out at the edge, touching madly
Watching them all being so fierce
Stealing the dregs, flailing wildly

Last of the men in hats hops off the coil
And a final scene unfolds inside
Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow
Is a part replayed from a perfect day
Teaching her how to whistle like a boy
Love's first blush

Is this making sense?

The birds are the keepers of our secret as they saw us where we lay
In the deepest grass of springtime in a reckless guilty haze
And they wove a sweet indifference and it settled on our skin
Till the eyes that I remembered for the last time drew me in

The birds
Though I wore you glacial patience to a smudge of bitter dust
On the last day you embraced me with a glistening sapling trust

Paper cup of the boat
Heaving chest of the sea
Carry both of us
Carry her, carry me

From the place we were born
To the land of the free
Carry both of us

So I'm there
Charging around with a juggernaut brow
Overdraft, speeches and deadlines to make
Cramming commitments like cats in a sack
Telephone burn and a purposeful gait

When out of a doorway the tentacles stretch
Of a song that I know

All my saints have taken bribes
Singing, "Going, going, gone."
All the angels taken dives
Leaving you the only one

If I loose a sequin here and there
More salt than pepper in my hair
Can I rely on you when all the songs are through

The fix is in,
There's a nag gonna dance home at Epsom.
The fix is in,
Can't wait to see how it upsets 'em.

Too many times we've been postally pipped,
We've loaded the saddles, the mickeys are slipped.
We're swapping the turf for the sand and the surf and the sin,

The fix is in
There's a nag gonna dance home at Epsom

The fix is in
Can't wait to see how it upsets 'em

Too many times we've been postally pipped
We've loaded the saddles, the mickeys are slipped

Did you feel did you feel a little brighter today
Come along now you've come along way
Ooh a good day could keep you sparkling awhile
And I'd lose the use of my legs just to see you smile

Oh a good day
Is what we have here

The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver

Gotta get out of TV
Just pick a point and go
The ticker-tape tangles my feet
As I search for a face that I know

Come on, tower crane driver

the times they are a-changing back
and oh the heat is rising
i heard a million knuckles crack
is it so surprising

i'm so sick of waiting
and i know you feel the same
i'm not getting any younger

I throw this to the wind
But what if I was right
Well, did you trust your noble dreams
And gentle expectations to the mercy of the night?
The night will always win
The night has darkness on its side
I'll throw this to the wind

The open road unrolling
And you in reach beside me
And a very chatty monkey
Fast asleep behind me
And the mountains rose before us
Noble brass for the chorus
And we talk of country kindness
As we put some miles behind us

Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid

I've been working on a cocktail called Grounds for Divorce
Whoah
Polishing a compass that I hold in my sleeve
Whoah
Down comes him on sticks but then he kicks like a horse
Whoah

I can't undo the day
It won't go, won't go under the rug
I pull out the stops
And you, you pull the plug

These are sober days and I know it can't be
But I'll miss you the way you miss the sea

The headlines drip with horror
Beware, beware, beware!
The news says no tomorrow
But how can I be scared...

...In her arms?
World do your worst
She and I have closed our eyes

Are we having the time of our lives?
Are we having the time of our lives?
Are we coming across clear?
Are we coming across fine?
Are we part of the plan here?
Are we having the time of our lives?
Are we coming across clear?
Are we coming across fine?

Hey
You look like me
So we
We look like him
When the time came
Just like you are
He was weightless
In my arms

The universe keeps singing this song
Your eyes are diabolical blue
Ooh
I've been watching you walk on the water lately
My arms outstretched when you do
What am I?
What am I on the earth for
If not to put you to bed

a frieze of you
is with me now
a frieze of you
with knitted brow
a frieze of you
asking how i could

a fury climb

Best intentions bring joyless droughts
Pack your hacksaw come push me out
When your dentures prevent your smile
These adventures will fill your eyes

With love
With love

Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid
I've been working on a cocktail called "Grounds For Divorce"
Whoah
Polishing a compass that I hold in my sleeve
Whoah
Down comes him on sticks but then he kicks like a horse
Whoah
There's a Chinese cigarette case and the rest you can keep
