Souvenir
03:18
|
|||
|
woke shaken by you, you told me so
in sentences with hurried ends
my body is a souvenir
shake me and you’ll see snow…
there were reasons
but not the ones you tell
you can’t imagine missing
what you know so well
there may come a day
when i wont remember your name
there’s a new hand in your pocket
telling you you’re all right
he makes me feel like an idiot
but you look like i feel
my body is a souvenir
shake me and you’ll see snow
some people practise
putting their hard sides first
telling you things to make things worse
my body is a souvenir
shake me and you’ll see snow

Good Time
04:17
|
|||
|
going back there are days in a haze
and months in a back seat
and things that went pale
something was wrong and something was right
and it was like that every night
we had a good time together oh we had…
between the sheets the pages scatter
and they won’t come together again
was that meant to be your first novel or mine…
late in the park getting dark
we’re sharing some bad poetry:
i love you like a tree, i want to climb up you
and fall on my knees
bed is a stranger getting stranger…

The Fear
04:42
|
|||
|
have you ever had a doubt?
have you ever felt the fear?
have you ever liked someone
and left him all in tears.
It’s the same you with another me…
was there something left unsaid?
was there something left unclear?
have you ever liked someone
and left him all in tears…

Keep A Boy
04:21
|
|||
|
don’t try and keep a boy
because in the end
he’s going to get away
it’s better just to bed together
and do what he says
he’ll steal all your morning
and leave you with the night
coz you know you love at your own peril
and that’s the easiest part
when you lay down beside me
feels like i’m falling in water
and i still wonder how to keep a boy…
it was summer we were young
we wanted to get out of it and we did
now it seems like the whole city
has got sick at once
and has gone off in a huff…
you feel so light when
you’re dropped from a bough
it doesn’t matter from how high
or how hard you fall
and you’re blown along
by the slightest inclination
towards something else to adore…

Perfect Surface
03:50
|
|||
|
you’re surrounded by perfect surfaces
but none of them can touch you
you’ve kept a straight face for so long
you feel odd inside
come lay your heart closer to mine
we’ll have a meeting of minds
come lay your heart closer to mine
we’ll have a meeting of sighs
spending hours being picked
and never taken home
going around seeking affection
and never giving any back…

Phone Call

|
got a phone call got a phone call…
i got a phone call and the voice said:
i’ll be back soon when you’re in bed
tried to ring back got a machine instead
when you're not there there's a gap in the room
that should be you there's a stop on the end
of the walk to the bed
that should be a place of happy returns
it's been a long time waiting
for the together we're making
it’s been a long time thinking laying waking…
i got a phone call and the voice said:
i’ll be back soon when you’re in bed
tried to ring back no answer dead
so i went outside and things started moving…

Venice

|
take this ride it’s for free
sorry - say it once say it again
black boat face down enter the end
you hold your secrets and i’ll keep mine
from a purple long drink sky
and the mad saints above
are cultivating odd company
twosomes, threesomes, moresomes
and i hear the waves lap
while you rock me over
hear the waves lap black boat face down
this ride’s for free enter the end
now we’re here
there’s so much behind me
now we’re face to face entering the end
now we’re here there’s so much behind me
now we’re face to face is it so hard
for you to be my friend?
take this ride it’s for free
sorry - say it once say it again
black boat face down enter the end
now we’re here there’s so much behind me
now we’re face to face entering the end…

Randy
04:04
|
|||
|
randy are you bitter?
coz you’re out of kilter
and your balance is off
you’re standing sideways
and your stole’s falling down
And the boys with the clean chins
keep on coz they’re too hyped to head home
they’re caught up in their things
sweetie your smile is on crooked
and your freshness is off
the lighting is helping but not a lot…
tiger your new fringe is slanted on your face
you’re standing sideways
your feet are tapping the wrong pace…

Never
07:03
|
|||
|
New in the city, standing on a roof top
watching how bright a line can be
you take a picture of me and i put a smile on
but i don’t know if i'm pretty
or if that's how you will remember me
i am winter on a bridge
you're a chain of words offered to my wrist
your feelings might have many facets
but you only show one facade
and if you were looking for my continuity
in your ruptures, then forget me
i've given up vanity and i'll give up romance
you kept all the pictures as if by chance
vanity and romance vanity as if by chance
i've given up vanity and i'll give up romance
you kept all the pictures as if by chance
vanity and romance vanity and romance
vanity and i'll give up romance
you kept all the pictures as if by chance
