A Lapse of Concentration

Look here’s a hummingbird
As she hovers into view
The trees catch the breeze
And shakes off all of the dew
I put the shampoo bottle down
Make my way down the aisle
I’m sure my mind’s not right
It hasn’t been for a while
It’s such a silly thing
What am I supposed to do?
I exit on to the high street
I see something on the floor
It looks like a bullet shell
I’ve just stepped into a war
Imagination running wild
You just can make it up
Synapses firing away
Every waking step
My concentration is lapsing

Getting Away With It
03:40
|
|||
|
I made a visit
To the old town
The people there
Looked tired and
Beaten down
You never cared
About them anyway
Moving on and out
Along a shiny highway
I can’t believe
After all this time you’re still
Getting away with it
I should’ve known
All along that you’d be
Getting away with it
This is the way
The trickle down flows
It’s never money
You know it’s just a pose

The Kiss of Morning
03:20
|
|||
|
The strip lights are on
in the hi rise
The sky has an orange
fluorescent hue
A city
of lost invitations
Shadows that walk
alongside of you
Wait for the kiss of morning
and then you’ll be gone
Don’t forget to remember
See the sun rise & salute another day
Look to the sky & wonder
A dog barks
a train rumbles by
The blue hour is
Drawing near
Our eyes meet but they’re distant
I can’t bring you any closer
to what’s here
Wait for the kiss of morning
and then I’ll be gone
Don’t forget to remember
See the sun rise & salute another day
Look to the sky & wonder

Ruin
04:16
|
|||
|
Please take me far away
I’ll sit on a mountain top
And I’ll shout all day
I’m lucky with what I’ve got
I really can’t complain
Mountain air I breathe easy
To come down, such a shame
Sea level makes me queasy
It's all about a ruin
But what went wrong
These things that have been brewing
For so long

Press Send

I’m trying to shake some words to fall out of my head
Been trying so long I think my brain is dead
Then all of a sudden it all becomes clear
And now my fingers are frantically typing...
Do you get it that it's so very tough
To try to speak to you and say enough
Can I make myself clear?
This distance between is much more than the sea
You just can’t find your way to sail back to me
And look up, there’s goes another distress flare
It seems the storm clouds are gathering
I guess I’m trying to say I’m sorry my dear
For missing deadlines and never being near
I only hope that this message I write
Finds you well and not too lonely

Everything
02:48
|
|||
|
Half the time
You looked fine
But you knew everything
Don't shut me down
I need to know
You can tell me anything
The secret's out
We'll deal with the fall out
But please tell me everything

Babel
03:28
|
|||
|
They carpet bomb with their ideas
It does nothing to sway your fears
Sit in the corner little man
Count yourself lucky while you can
We wish the very best for you
but please will you just join the queue
Distract, disturb, disorganise
Let’s find out what you can despise
In this tower of babel
who speaks the language of you
We’ll speak to you while we can
But don’t expect you'll understand
In a blink of an eye it all comes clear
It’s down to them and their ideas

You Versus the World
02:44
|
|||
|
I know, you said
But say it again
Millions didn’t hear it the first time when..
Everyone’s shouting
No one is listening
Oh yeah, your view
Never seen it before
A million other versions not seen I’m sure
Let’s breathe deeply
Drink your coffee
It’s you…
...that thinks only you should be listened to
You’re angry, I know
You can’t let it lie
But sometimes let the storm pass by
The sun is shining
Whilst you’re whining
No one,
Can focus
It just all noise
Throw away the pram, throw away the toys
Pressure rising
With all that typing

Abandoned Textile Mill

|
|||
|
....the former silent majority......watch the latest terror alerts...........
............in small cities and communities.......there's a new kind of toilet paper....
....their fuelling the political rise.....in flyover country....fine tuning the message for the wolverine state.....
...in an abandoned textile mill....
...."We're sick and tired of what you people do"....
......with typical vague bombastic bluster.......not just scapegoats but solutions.....
