1.6am Corner
Sunlight blooms and
falls through your window
There's nothing wrong
with the day
I hear a creak,
of letting in shadows
Let's sit and hear
what they say
You and I can be quiet
Sat still in the corner
Let no one in here
but the dawn
I wish I was tired but
sleep has gone walking
And your talking has no aim
But just as you are
Lets just sit looking
I know we can see
things the same
Eyes in space coloured trace
No one to catch us
As the night slides away
I hear Daryl's voice
come through the wall
Sweet talk is under her head
To lie with a man might
keep me together
I hope I never
say that again
For my one is the one
Who'll never be found
Like some queens
crown in the sand
2.Innocent When You Dream
The bats are in the belfry
The dew is on the moor
Where are the arms
that held me
And pledged our love before
And pledged our love before
And it's such a
sad old feeling
The leaves are
soft and green
It's memories that
i'm stealing
But you're innocent
when you dream,
when you dream
You're innocent
when you dream
I made my love a promise
That we would never part
I gave to her a locket
And then I broke her heart
And then I broke her heart
And it's such a
sad old feeling
The leaves are
soft and green
It's memories that
I'm stealing
But you're innocent
when you dream,
when you dream
You're innocent
when you dream
Running through
the graveyard
We laughed my friends and i
We said we'd be together
Until the day we die
Until the day we die
And it's such a
sad old feeling
The leaves are
soft and green
It's memories that
I'm stealing
But you're innocent
when you dream,
when you dream
You're innocent
when you dream
3.Come With Me
Come with me darling
I'll show you something
We've waited
long enough till now
Let's do something about it
Come with me darling
There's no more talking
We've stayed up til
it's nearly dawn
Let's make ourselves warm
Taken by the tide way
out to sea
Past the friends that
we used to be
We've talked all evening
about being free
Now we're moving close
Come with me darling
I'll show you something
We've waited
long enough till now
Let's do something about it
People been leaving
in dribs and drabs
Leaving the sleeper
who's blocking the stairs
If we go any further
we can't go back
What do you want to do
Come with me darling
It's nearly morning
The birds are
waking up for us
They're singing for us
Come with me darling
Come with me darling
4.Before It Goes
Two of us laughing hard
on a chair
Tomorrow we're strangers
going nowhere
Let's capture this feeling
and drink it down
Before it goes
Doors just opened
without a push
What was our whole world
ran out with the rush
Might be the last time
I hold you tight
Before it goes
Before it goes
Two of us laughing hard
on a chair
I picture you always
with me there
Let's capture this feeling
and hold you hard
Before it goes
Before it goes
Before it goes
5.Blue Fields
Blue fields blue fields
Seeds that I've never seen
are growing
Leaves that I've never seen
are showing
In the blue fields
blue fields
Fish that I've never seen
are swimming
Selfish people are now
giving in the
Blue fields blue fields
Dandelion seeds are
flying up in the air
Birds are running
across the grass
Dandelion seeds are
showing us the time
While worms show their faces
at last
Blue fields blue fields
Seeds that I've never seen
are growing
Leaves that I've never seen
are showing in the
Blue fields
Fish that I've never seen
are swimming
Selfish people are now
giving in the
Blue fields
Blue fields
6.Frame
I used to be a picture
on your wall
You'd look at me everyday
with nowhere to go
You've taken me
out of your frame
A masterpiece rolled
under a bed
What are your hands
going to say
Do the walls shiver
now they're bare?
Do the brass hooks
ache for your weight?
Now I'm locked up
Get out your pens
and draw me again
You can make it up
Make me young
make me dance
Give me all that I want
What am I if I'm not
looked at by you?
Will I disappear?
Will the colours stay
brighter in the dark?
Is this just like
being preserved?
Look at that picture
on a hotel wall
Seen by lonely eyes
Don't go into hotels
looking for dreams
Don't go into them with
thoughts of your life
Get out your pens and
draw me again
You can make it up
Make me young make me dance
Give me all that I want
7.Grey Goes
With my big net
I'm catching colours
I've caught a red one
And trapped a deep blue
I found green hiding
behind a big bush
And a yellow has heard me
coming through
I've looked in shadows
and tapped on walls
Went to school to
find a uniform
But I can't see
where all the grey goes
I swallowed purple
When you left me
I threw orange back
into the sea
I used black and white
On how you hurt me
And buried pink
To stop reminding me
I've looked in shadows
and tapped on walls
Melted storm clouds to
find out where
they grey goes
All along
The grey was in me
The grey was in me
The grey was in me
Grey was in me...
8.Weather Forever
Today the weather stopped
Mixed up all the words
And people just made noise
To fill the sky and
hear their voice
Today the silence came
As thick as fog
It zipped the ground
The night came quicker
And we closed the back door
Locked it till
next summer time
Oh lover, oh lover
I wish forever
could be forever
Oh lover, oh lover
I wish forever
could be forever
Rugged as the rocks
that grow
Your face a precious stone
Kissed it cold to
watch it warm
Open and kind as if
you were just born
Oh lover, oh lover
I wish forever
could be forever
Oh lover, oh lover
I wish the weather
could be forever
Oh lover, oh lover
I wish forever
could be forever
Oh lover, oh lover
I wish the weather
could be forever
9.Shoulders
Shoulders lean on a wall
Shadow a doorway
To nowhere at all
The sky has no surface
So you look at the floor
Eyes tire out when
You're searching for more
The crook of your shoulder
is where I belong
The crook of your shoulder
is where I belong
The crook of your shoulder
Like a fancy domed clock
Moves the sky over time
Looking behind me when
you're only in my mind
Searching is endless
When there's nothing to find
Someone brushed past me
My name shouted out
The voice in my head when
I'm walking about
Endlessly searching
To figure it out
The crook of your shoulder
is where I belong
The crook of your shoulder
is where I belong
The crook of your shoulder
Like a fancy domed clock
Moves the sky over time
Looking behind me when
you're only in my mind
Searching is endless
When there's nothing to find
Like a fancy domed clock
The sky is a circle
Days are repeated
Around over time
Instead of beginnings
The clock ticks
on and through
And through and
through and through
And through and
through and through
10.Armchair
Love me like an armchair
Hang me up on your wall
Put me under your pillow
Put me up in the hall
Open me like a door
Like a window
you can see through
I'll sweeten you like sugar
When the world has been
fucking with you.
I'm not going anywhere
With your pepper at tea
Grow me bug in your garden
Sail me off on your sea
I'm the gold in your filling
I'm the glue on your shoe
I'll sweeten you like sugar
When the world has been
fucking with you
If I make myself small
You can take me with you
I'll sit quiet
in your pocket
fix the holes up for you
Be your street map
your bible
And your ticket
ride home too
I'll sweeten you like sugar
When the world has been
fucking with you
I'll sweeten you like sugar
When the world has been
fucking with you
11.Rolling Down
All the little tears
are rolling down
But they won't
make a river or a frown
Life's a string of
goodbye's and hello's
But when it's hanging
in mid air where can it go
When we turn around
who'll be walking
When we turn around
who'll be running
You closed the clasp
that finished a chain
And put the ring
around my neck again
It's not a sign
an answer or a promise
It's just hanging there
being honest
When we turn around
who'll be walking
When we turn around
who'll be running
When we turn around
who'll be walking
When we turn around
who'll be running
12.All
Books that are written
And books that are read
Do nothing to help
Just sit by a bed
You can switch on the news
Hear it twenty four hours
The world's at an end
Because people want power
When all of this
Sits heavy on you
Why is it life can come
Glistening through
Where did you get
All of the good things
in you
13.Holes In Your Life
One day I'll fit
all the pieces together
Then I can shut the box
back on the shelf
If only my life would
fit into the corners
I'd slot back the shapes
that make me myself
The holes in your life
Maybe it's the only way
the light gets in
The holes in your life
Maybe it's the only way
the light gets in
One day the days
and the nights
will have meaning
Then I can get my diary out
While I am writing
my beautiful sonnets
The sunlight and moonlight
will all scream out
The holes in your life
Maybe it's the only way
the light gets in
The holes in your life
Maybe it's the only way
the light gets in
The holes
The holes in your life
They could be the best bits
A mystery to me
and a wonder to you
A place for the future
for something that's new
One day I'll fit
all the pieces together
