Annie Get Your GunShe goes for her medical
Shes passed, its a miracle
Shes up over the moon
She whistles nonsense tunes
She wants drinks for everyone
Shes found a chord that she can strum
Emotions leaking out Her paints all over town
Whats that shes playing? (annie get your gun)
Big BengThe liberator of sin
The giver of delight
I took the drug
And went out like a light
I giggled on the bed
As I stared at the wall
I was the one who felt ever so small
I couldn't take it
Black Coffee In BedThere's a stain on my notebook
Where your coffee cup was,
And there's ash in the pages.
Now I've got myself lost.
I was writing to tell you
That my feelings tonight
Are a stain on my notebook
That rings your goodbye.
Christmas DayMary and Joseph drove into town,
Searching for a place to stay.
The moon was up, and his foot was down
A miracle was on its way.
They tried the hotels, the motels, the bed-and-breakfast
Locals, but no one seemed to have any room.
Cool for CatsThe Indians send signals
From the rocks above the pass
The cowboys take position
In the bushes and the grass
The squaw is with the Corporal
She is tied against the tree
She doesn't mind the language
It's the beating she don't need
Crying In My SleepBreaking up
Is breaking my heart
Is showing me the door
And if I get it open
I'll discover that there's much more to life than this
As I hit the wall with the full force of my fist
I concede this time to defeat
I keep crying in my sleep
Heaven KnownsHackers (1995)
You're no Dame I'm no Duke
Somehow love is a fluke
We've survived thick and thin
Taking knocks on the chin
In the eyes of the sad
We may be barking mad
Heaven KnowsYou're no Dame I'm no Duke
Somehow love is a fluke
We've survived thick and thin
Taking knocks on the chin
In the eyes of the sad
We may be barking mad
But the truth has been ceased
We are like chalk and cheese
House Of LoveShe was full of lies and boredom
It came as no surprise that she would cheat
Her nails were long and sharp
But she didn't play the harp
She wasn't an angel I told her
But she wasn't able to understand my words
Rich pickings in reverse
I wasn't Shakespeare
It's So DirtyWell you'd better not tell I've had a good night
Me and this bird she's a bit of alright
Dancing to the sounds as the arches get searched
She is the business for a bit of old skirt
It's so dirty when it's in the right mood
Give it some brandy and some chinese food
Take her for a spin with your stereo jack
Tell her she's the best girl you've ever had
King George StreetShe left in the middle of the night with the kids
Wrapped in a blanket with a packet of crisps
Heading for her mothers on another estate
The kids looked up at the light and the rain
In the middle of the night such adventures made
For two little kids staying up late
It was rainy and windy as winter was bleak
At four in the morning on King George Street
Last Time ForeverDid you ever read the words
That said love would end I read them tonight
Mistakes I can't defend
I didn't stop to think
And I upset her
I've said good night tonight the last time forever
I've said good night tonight the last time
I think of her tonight
Loving You TonightThe full moon's glowing
Blood red in the sky
It hangs like fire
On this winter's night
I sit on feelings
That hang in suspense
Nothing in my life makes sense
A question mark hangs with the stars up above
MisadventureHitched a hiker
Up above the border
She'd spent some time
In Morocco and Gibraltar
And stole my wallet
With a picture of my misses
With fond remembrance
Of everything with kisses
Separate BedsTonight I take her from her parents
I came along to her rescue
Without a word about arrangements
She came along without a clue
So I said my love I want to take you
A place I have inside my head
And so it seemed I had to love you
With some cards and separate beds
TemptedI bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case.
I said to my reflection, Let's get out of this place.
Passed the church and the steeple, the laundry on the hill
Billboards and the buildings
Memories of it still keep calling
And calling
But forget it all I know I will
Tough LoveThere she sits in an empty room
The look on her face says it all
A bruise appears round a crying eye
As the tear drops sadly fall
He knocked her over he hit her
And told her she's stupid
He's high as a kite once again
She knows that tough love is needed
Up The JunctionI never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from Clapham
Out on a windy common
That night I ain't forgotten
When she dealt out the rations
With some or other passions
I said you are a lady
Perhaps she said I may be
Всей чёртовой вселеннойВо сне иль на яву все это? Мне один черт ни горячо, ни холодно,
На горизонте виднеется изумрудный город.
Странные мысли лезут в голову снова и снова,
И глаза устилает едкий дым от костров.
Здесь небо, будто бархат,
И люди поголовно одержимы неким животным страхом.
Они молчат и кивают в ответ,
Панически боясь сказать кому-то не то, что надо.
Между небом и морем перегорели все контакты с этим бренным миром,
прерван эфир. мы разбиваемся о рифы,
воздух сотрясая криком. и красиво тонем,
танцуя последний вальс под аккомпанемент солёных волн
между небом и морем.
устал метаться из крайности в крайность.
и вроде в жизни устаканилось всё как-то само по себе,
но от меня уже ничего не осталось.
Не быть похожимМы клялись быть другими. Били себя так отчаянно в грудь,
Что никогда не будем похожи на тех, кем стали мы.
Гордо носим усталый вид, глаза пусты, но в них
Сияет стимул хоть немного изменить бестактный мир.
Не хватит пальцев рук, чтоб сосчитать, сколько допущено ошибок глупых,
Зашить бы губы, чтобы не лгать себе,
Чтобы не лгать тому, кто искренне верит, что жизнь нас любит.
Опустошённые временемСнизив до шёпота свой нежно-пронзительный голос,
Опиши, каким ты видишь наше дурацкое чудо?
Переступая на носочках обиду и гордость,
Не зацепи хрустальный сгусток с названием "чувства".
Уткнувшись робко в теплоту обоюдных бесед,
Расскажи о чём-то, несомненно, действительно важном.
Пусть в атмосфере будут визги и хохот висеть,
Просто потому что хочет так исключительно каждый.
Среди обычных фразУтро покажется едва ли на свет из-за ширмы,
Бросив застенчиво лучи на фасады домов.
Сделав кому-то этот день напоследок паршивым
Вся безмятежность незаметно засядет на дно.
Люди, уткнувши укоризненно в землю носы,
Поковыляют неизменно с лицом недовольным
По столь замызганным просторам морей городских.
Добро пожаловать в мир тщетно-скупых монополий.
Шрамы вместо крыльевНаше сонное небо укатится волнами в ту невесомую даль,
Что без капли сомнений и значимых слов назовём "нарисованный рай".
И подальше от реплик наивного мира с тобою навечно уплыв,
Мы найдём ключевые скопления временем созданных мечт надувных.
***
Моя мечта, дай знак, где потерялась ты,
Став лишь блекло мерцать средь тайн.
