- Alaska
Well it chewed us up and spat us out
Stumbling into daylight
And we learned what dreams are all about
Let us not pretend
I swallowed everything you said
A constant stream of poison
And the blindest visions filled my head
Rejoicing in the dark
- Christmas on Easter Island
I run and I hide from something inside
It threatens every western lie in my heart
It’s the ghost of an ancient fear
That would surely bring our world to tears
Are we big enough are we strong enough to last forever?
Christmas on Easter Island
Like pagan gods you and I
- Clint
They're marching down the street
With heavy boots upon their feet
I saw you in a doorway
You turned and walked away from me
I thought it was surprising
For friends to say goodbye that way
You looked at me in silence
- Colourless Dream
I'm feeling in a shaky frame of mind
The look on my face, this is like a new beginning
Believing if I get it wrong this time
Floating in space I'll see the pieces spinning to the ground
When I dreamt a careless dream
There was nothing there to stop me
Now I see it on a screen
- Criminally Sane
Well you laughed out loud
Like a morning cloud
In a clear blue sky
But you climbed too high
Open your eyes
I’ve seen through your lies
I don’t believe in heroes anymore
I don’t know who cares
- I'm Not In Love
I’m not in love
I never was and never will be
And if I was
I tell myself I’d leave the country
When the wind blows through the cornfields
Summer will caress my mind
But seeds are for sowing maybe
This time is harvest time
- Imagination
Inside my own inner space
There’s not a soul in the whole place to see or ask me why
And with my senses in shreds
There I go to pick up the loose threads
Away from your hungry eyes
And in that infinite place
You’ll see a smile on my blank face
- in flux
Big talk and gunsmoke
Death plays the white man
Strutting on film again
Suffer the weak hearts
Faecal emotions
Feeding the flame for a change
In flux again
- Life Will Kill Us
The Martians have stolen my television
But they left my poetry
They're learning about our condition
By watching Coronation Street
Maybe they're working out the final cost
And maybe God is made of candyfloss
Life will kill us all one day
- Lope
Racing from my head forever
Staring wildly as in like a feather blowing
Take me through an open window
Maybe we could play a part and not know we played it
They're hanging like the hours
That move with hidden powers
Take me to a silken shadow
- Lost In A Moment
I worked my feelings out
I sing the words I'd like to shout
And it comes as no surprise
You've changed the rules again
We came here starry eyed
We went away dissatisfied
And it comes as no surprise
- On Another Day
She traces neat escapes
In night skylines
Bowing out with style
Daylight seeps into her darkness
She'll watch a new moon smile
Then crawl away
On another day
- Seven Kinds Of Sin
With golden wings of fire
He’s flown away across the fields
Nobody answers when he calls
I knew this time would come
Like winters hand of frozen steel
Riding a stallion down the hall
Seven times I’ve heard my conscience cry
- Summer And Smoke
Nursing my regrets
Two lives pulling different ways
Trading heartless innuendos
Worn out with neglect
Servants to the tyrant of fate
There is so much that you don’t know
I will see you again
- The Best Film He Ever Made
Like an empty church when the lights go out
It was dark inside his complex ego
Almost God but not in heaven
Saddest man that lived in legend
I can see his films and I know his fate
How the perfect screenplay came to light
I've read about his degradation
- Things We Never Did
We would be ashes
We would be silent and old
We would be wisdom
We would be left in the cold
When we were dancing
I saw the look in your eyes
Now we are strangers
- When I See You
I'm watching the surf fall
I'm wishing you near me
There's oceans between us
I'm packing my lifebelt
When I see you
I fall helplessly in love
When I see you
- your skin and mine
Will your skin and mine flake away like rust
If we in pure sin as natural lovers touch
Your skin and mine sister in crime
Your love and mine like a flower in a vase of alkaline
My control deserts me in this paradise
Your love and mine, no courtroom no crime
Your skin and mine, sister through time
