Put You're Fingers In Your Ears

I'm smiling but my blue eyes can't lie,
To love her,
To let her go,
However misleading a feeling,
Just hope for the best,
Swim for the stars,
Even if its just mini steps.

If I put my fingers in my ears,
Will you love me,
She says you're better than him,
But not better for her,
All the things I can't say,
Keep me awake,
To turn the other cheek,
But still just in and out of reach.

The rain soaks into my skin,
And drips from my brow,
As I sit and wonder,
About where I have been,
The when the here and now,
Faces that woken,
As I walked into a room,
The cruel words that been spoken,
And who we said them too.

Silences and cheers,
That have come and gone,
All memories linger of optimism,
On a backdrop of what may or might have gone wrong,
But a lesson learned is like money won,
As sweet as a kiss from a special one,
I bare my soul to you,
All my love and hate is been and gone,
We know we'll make it through,
Every right and wrong.

''All We Have Is These Pictures''

Now all we have is these pictures,
You're so busy,
You're forgiven,
I saw a picture of the future,
And the house we lived in,
With the flowers in the porch,
With the streetlight flickering,
From the reflection of the water.

Now we pass on by,
Sometime soon,
Let's go outside,
With our hands clasped tightly,
Just wander everywhere,
The twinkles in our eyes shining brightly,
Maybe sometime soon with no goodbyes,
Or passing bye,
No ripples in the reflections of the water.

Orchestra Of Starlings

Find somewhere for me when I'm crying,
Nowhere near a pedestal,
Search out an alcove while I'm dying,
Where the rains does not touch,
Where the dramas disintegrate into nothing much,
Speak to me softly,
It's so loud outside,
Find me a some solice, where I can spare two minutes to hide.

Talk me out from slumber,
Trick me into daylight,
Lets lay our fingerprints into the snow,
Where only we really know,
Before the cherry trees blossom,
Tell me jokes and stories my darling,
Slip away with any fairies,
Fall asleep to the orchestra of starlings.

''Everyone Your Best Friend''

Walking an adventure,
To no amends,
Just one full stop is certain,
Sat and watched the light descend,
Seen a prophet in each person,
Everyone your best friend.

Brought a change so inevitable,
And fell by the roadside,
Opened up the car doors,
For everyone worthwhile.

Everyone your best friend,
For only one night,
Even when the last bell rings,
And they're out for a fight.

Walking an adventure,
To no amends,
Just one full stop is certain,
Sat and watched the light descend,
Seen a prophet in each person,
Everyone your best friend.

Looking out on floating waves,
Hoping the rain will wash away any sin.
Getting the taste of hairspray
A cormorant flaps its wings into the wind.

Look away from the horror,
If its too much to bare and dream of a shangri-la,

Sit by my side,
And we'll gaze at the stars.

''Noone Else''

Whatever you wanted to know,
I always hoped that you'd ask,
The people I've known,
The stepping stones of my past,
They got me here with you,
Your attention gleamed towards something new.

As we are taught from such a young age,
There is no love like a love forbidden,
The one we keep hidden,
The same ancient routines,
Falling in and out the same loops,
We are damned to repeat,
One after another,
Perfecting lists of remnants of just an extra lover.

Noone else would just stand and stare,
There's noone else I want to take me there.

Kicks to the teeth,
Will stop you smiling,
What boiled up underneath,
An optimism still driving,
You didn't know,
But did you care,
Was the helping hand,
To much to bare.

''The Snake Age''

Astral silence,
On a baron saturday,
Formed to compliance,
A sour face stares back through a keyhole,
A default picture of a thing unknown,
What lies concocted behind the eyes,
Of a grimmace standing on the water and its current.
Doubt of the past trapped on a moment.

Compressed to a story,
Storyteller of tall tales,
Faces pressed up to window,
Hide behind a mist,
Bullertproof belief,
Conviction creeps up around you,
Running round fog ridden fields,
Aware of all mistakes.

''Party Scene''

Gregory's got his girl,
He in the corner,
Chewing at her ear,
Pete is in the queue,
Flatting down his bed hair,
Licking on his fingers and repeat.

Sandy took too much,
Noone will convince here,
To go home and blah, blah and such and such,
Veronica is asking everyone at bar,
If they saw Pete,
As her eyes gently flutterby and come to life.

This light flatters the demon inside,
That noone knows,
He's bowling up and down steps,
Grasping at the method of undue stares,
He claps his eyes twice at Victoria then inverts,
He looks up again when she's gone he had deflated.

Where were you?
In a circle singing to The Only Ones,
The post punks moved from their offices,
Onto a spinning dancefloor climbing aboard,
Where Sandy's travel sickness left her floor bound,
She's out their swimming hoping not to drown.

''Simplicity''

I saw a simple man, With simple pleasures, Looking within little treasures, A simple man, Fighting complex thoughts, Trying to unlock open doors.

Ideals and morals, Can leave you with sorrows, Can get in the way, Designed and constructed, Taught as conjunctive, Just human just destructive.

She went back to her life, But she was mine, I'd strive to accomadate you certainly, Like I'd never accomplished previously.

''So''

To fall near love,
So hopefully,
The experience of an increasing landscape,
To share and feel new breathes so listlessly,
New stories and smiles,
Exposing a warmth so blissfully.

Grudging and churning,
A stomach filled with knots,
Butterflies who fly so aimlessly,
New glimmers of growth,
Progression and hope,
To the sound on the breeze finding you wistfully.

Anticipation so new,
Such bold aching,
The days feel like months while we're waiting,
With each atom and fibre colliding,
Each hair on my body arising,
So I jump.

''Gleaming Dirt and Sun''

Flicked through the light, dark,
Dirt and scum,
Gauged the beaming smile,
By the dirt under the nail of your thumb,
Here's and invincible deceit,
It sticks around miles not just for weeks.

You breathe obscene,
Innocuous haze made me dream,
Around your curse,
We took the hearse,
Down to the beach,
The sand it glittered but shred your feet.

Held a raven innocent,
In the palm of my hand,
Everyone took a peak,
But it had no feathers, nor feet or beak.
A pokadot metaphor,
That fulfilled its cause.

''Blondie''

Playing with the foam in your light beer,
Gasping under your eyes,
Turned into a sneer,
Stationary wondering why,
Pale like lightning,
Blondie and her girls.

Blood red eyes,
On milky tones,
Tatty t-shirt,
Its twisted sleeves,
Reveal the stories,
Bracelets of pearls,
Blondie gets all the girls.

Cigarette butts in the sand,
Burnt to a crisp,
Yellow stains on her hand,
Scars in the twist,
Delicately unfurled,
Blondie and her girls.

All I Want To Do

Sit down and graze,
As they talk about you in reverse,
Still spinning plates,
Your aesthetics a curse.

Fill your face with due haste,
A replacement for food,
Don't gather a taste,
Just a colour of a look.

Seeing things periphally,
Little numbers hiding,
Simple misgivings,
Thrown in the deep end.

Counting on and off,
Just to settle,
Seeing the beauty of a rose,
With the wrong number of petals.

Sending out a kiss,
Floating cartoon lips,
Towards the chosen door,
And all I want to do.

''Blue Eyes Be My Bride''

Marry me,
Take my initial gesture,
This is no joke,
I'm not that appealing,
But I know this is now,
And this brings to me something daring.

Give me your hand,
This is us taking love back,
To its integral ingredients,
The meadow and its daisies,
I seen you with abundance,
And pondered new ages.

The fields and daisies,
Magestic behaviours,
This is our unity,
A blessing of purity,
I guess you are unsure,
But for me this is easy.

''Cry Yourself Clean''

Cry yourself clean,
Dream yourself thin,
No chances regained,
Impure not insane,
Keeping it together,
But granted its not forever.

Spending years on your own,
In a house of closed doors,
An expression turned to stone,
For the aid of pastures pure.

A disgrace on tradition,
That heart discerned,
Those close decisions turned down,
Crept in the memories initially burnt.

''Us Ugly Homosapiens''

The beauty staring back drawn the night away,
That flick of the hair that made everybody pray,
Like a tsunami gushing through the dancefloor,
The pristine kids hoping for evermore.

A recluse studies intracacies,
Within the paintings and theories,
The nights gleam where you almost felt real,
Retold twice and pulled you back in.

Summertime floosies,
Kept the wind in the their sails,
Drew out the winter,
For one season of tales.

Pocket's full of protection,
Might aswell lobotomise,
Us ugly homosapiens,
As we are the aliens.

''Desire and Sensibility''

Chancers fill up the street,
Pinstriped lapels and buffed up polished feet,
Swilling out in vodka streams,
The smell of gold perks up their nose,
Linguistic weasels with caffeine lined easels,
Concrete bones made the landscape surreal.

Muddied posture with the crack of dawn,
Closed down the lighthouse where posterity was born,
With a horn and a chimney,
The sun bursts through,
Seen out of x-ray specs,
Everything became brand new.

Subtle mauve earrings,
Overplaying drones out with cosmetics,
Enhanced heads with papier mache prostetics,
Handing back waste,
Bludgeoned love letters,
Tattooed on teeth in the name of taste.

'Ignore Bliss, Then Realise'

If I had the chance to be awake,
I'd take it,
I'd run through the streets,
Climb all over it,
Dance upon the towers,
Inhale all the flowers,
Never sleep again,
Cover every inch,
Get lost in the forest,
Climb up every tree,
Hurtle my way through,
Every town and city,
But would I stop, look up and down,
Wonder why there is no sound,
Why there is noone around,
Ignoring bliss I realise,
All the things I've missed,
Stretched out further than the blue skies.

''Dysfunctioning Straight Edge Blues''

Been reading in the dark,
And didn't learn a thing,
Been singing to the dog,
But he didn't here a thing,
Called out to the fool on hill,
I noticed she was crying.

Captured a book from its shelf,
It looked me up and down,
Told me to look at my health,
I peered around, there was noone else,
Taught me to look in the mirror,
Demanded I was thinner.

Sat next to a man in the American mall ,
He was dressed all in baby blue,
He told me I was dysfunctional,
And that he was too,
I gave him two compliments,
And blessed his lucky suit.

Captain Handsome Pt.1

Brush your tongue,
Captain handsome,
It's only tradition,
Not just insanity.

Captain handsome,
Placing metal on his face,
For a special occasion,
An interstellar invasion.

Come out to play,
It's been a hard day shifting shapes,
Come look at the stars,
That's where we were.

Word of mouth,
Spilled into a pour,
Captain handsome,
Strikes once more.

'She's Great'

She's perfection,
Ill run till I die,
Making out over cliffs,
I know I can fly.

Spread out our arm's,
As they're our own,
Make our way to mars,
Just to play with the stars.

She's lit from behind,
A beautiful silhouette, a dream,
A star on earth,
The most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

She carries spare sweets,
In her bag,
She spun me dreams,
The greatest gifts there's ever been.

Seen by every passing eye,
Beauty constructed,
Shared with every passer bye,
Never be destructive.
