MURMURISED
We try to live a little lighter
Like featherdown
The love of life a little stronger,
We’re all rising now
And the new world ahead of you
Was hiding in the rolling of the road
It’s like with starlings
We are all often so lit up and taken - murmurised.
A loom that trails its threads behind you
A smooth steering wheel
A hand that holds from dusk till downtime
The rhythm of steel
When all the world beyond your hand
Was hiding in the rolling of the road
Like with starlings
We are so often all lit up and taken
Out of ourselves - murmurised.

THE SMELL OF TROUBLE
Forest fires follow you
Fast as the wind will carry them
I’ve burnt my fingers many times
But I can’t resist
Following you
’Tis the wind carries them
The smell of trouble

THE INNOCENT WIN
How will the innocent win?
When the blinds are always drawn and the eyes fall low
And the carnival goes like a praying, long 'bye'
I want a feel of whisky
Cool brow
I'd wrap a warm surprise with your lover boy hand
There is always someone
There is always someone who'll keep you down
And no longer can I see,
Even see the enemy.
They lurk below my radar
Too late, I'm afraid.
Who would have thought it was a thing?
Who would have thought it was a likely thing?
Too late I'm afraid
We never heard the warning bell
Just a tear
Just a moanin'
And the struggles of the lonely.

MICHAELA
All our lives we’ve waited for a chance to fly
Can you really wonder why
Why Michaela won’t, why Michaela won’t
Follow the rules any more?
We found the secret passage, ran and ran past clanging pipes
Learned the reason to be alive and
Why Michaela won’t follow the rules any more.
Life begins in the hallways
As it ends in the hallways
We get high in the hallways
Freedom cries in the hallways
How they sigh in the hallways
Let them lie in the hallways
Happy days.

Local Envy

LOCAL ENVY
They were diddling the till
Diddlin’
And everybody knows
Greying, playing, praying
Vile and lazy and wanting
The spicks and the specks of your meanderings
The shoes, the clues time leaves behind
And wherever you go
There’s a local envy.

The Mirror of the Other

THE MIRROR OF THE OTHER
The mirror of the other
Is where you find a mutual tongue
A gentle place to reach across the great divide
To an isle of innocence.
The mirror of the other
Is where to search for clues -
All is soon light
All is soon light
All is soon light
Islands, islands, islands.
In between the mourning
Reach across the great divide
To an isle of innocence.

CARAMELISED
Life just glitters in between
her lashes like a dream
She’s putting on her bravest face to
Caramelise it.
She sees across the chimney tops
Dark window, face, a hand waves
She turns the spoon between her lips to
Caramelise it.
The little things, the little things
Caramelise it.
Oh, and we will be free again
Oh, and we will be wild again

SILKY AND TAR
Harking back again we always
Threw ourselves into the bottom of it
Like there was no tomorrow or
Nobody else in the world.
The old days are gone, my love
Those mad old days are gone, my love.
And the crows were always circling
Hanging out for the dead
Silky and tar, silky and tar.
What a bitchy crowd
In the tops of the trees.
Right above our kissing heads.
Those mad old days are gone, my love.
Those mad old days are gone, my love.
