FLUMMOXED MORE THAN JEALOUS
The lion meets with the greasy man, for coffee every morning on platform 4, an unlikely match, she gold and glorious. And he's greasy and sleazy like a Parisian from the movies, desperately in need of a haircut and general spruce up. And i'm flummoxed more than jealous, honestly. Legs crossed seaweed dangle, limp wristed, oh so nonchalant in your flannel and i'm flummoxed. The Lion, bold as brass towers over shabby cheap shoes and suit, as she hangs on his every word, for fuck sake have a wash mate you're killing me, your killing me.

RIDE IT OUT
Don't reach for the pills, tomorrow's gonna be another day, and if it aint, the day after will be. You're run down, but you won't always feel this way but picking up aint gonna help you mate. It it works for you then go to sleep my beauty, don't feel guilty, don't feel guilty.
Don't reach for the pills, tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day and if it aint, the day after will be, or the day after that, or the day after that. You just gotta ride this out. Yeah you're run down but you won't always feel this way but picking up aint gonna help you mate. If it works for you then go to sleep my beauty, don't feel guilty, you just gotta ride this out…

THANK YOU
Today i woke up to a what the fuck, not that time, not that time, the dark room, wife slumbering sound beside, god give me one more hour coz it was blue skies last week. It has begun, the dark days, that unnatural time when us zombies rise, and to say goodbye to you. Day after day after glorious day and to think that we started to take you for granted, day after day after glorious day and to think that we took you for granted makes the sudden change to Autumn more horrifying coz we expected nothing and you gave us day after

AS THE REST OF THE WORLD SLEEPS
Run to the hills, the refugees are coming.To eat your dogs and steal your women.
3am as we lay in the black and our minds tick over, as the rest of the world sleeps a war rages. Rushing waters, rusty ships, groaning fog horn and hulk wrecks, looming from the mist, your conscientiousness, that tortured place behind closed eyes. As the rest of the world sleeps a war rages in me. At 3 am tonight, that still secret time of regret and ear ringing silence.Screaming bloody silence tick tock tick tock. That 6am alarm so far away and you know that you'll be broken by them, broken and finally snoozing. As the rest of the world sleeps a war rages in me…

MY NEW SAFE PLACE
Come here sugar pie. Across the sand, the sun and wind and sea, rise up to hail my princess facing me. Your freckles new and eyes a greeny blue, my new safe place, my wedding day. A pledge to the heavens, a promise to your dad, that i will keep his girl safe as we stand there holding hands. Travelling through space finds him a happy man, my new safe place, my wedding day. Honey are you ok? Repeat.
Look at me in the eyes honey, bye princess.Sun bright on ya face and ocean spray salutes true joy, my wedding day. I love you princess.

JUDUS BETRAYERS
We could have changed the world, kept pushing the snowball but where were you, what did you do when we had the momentum. Did you fight against us? You said you were punk but you just milked our scene and at the first change of genuine revolution you were silent, you betrayed us and at the first chance of genuine revolution where were you? We could've changed the world.

FAITH
Now that i am brave i can dance at parties, now look who's the gooseberry, not me, not me. I used to sit out on the benches, miserable at weddings, wishing i could take that leap of faith and let yourself go coz no one worth their pinch of salt gives a fuck.Have faith… You don't have to be the best, you don't have to be anything, don't have to dance or sing. Like hymns in a church, how you sposed to sing those awful dreary hymns but who cares anyway have faith … Seriously, take a step back and see the wood from the trees coz life's too short to miss these opportunities i'm serious, there's nothing worse than being too cool for school coz you look like a dick and you're wearing sunglasses indoors. You're wearing sunglasses indoors, you're wearing sunglasses indoors and you look like an idiot ….. nobody gives a fuck about you anyway so chill out mate. Have faith…

SHE KNOWS IT
So her best friend's a boy best friend, i'm sorry. Don't kid yourself your instincts tell the truth. He's in love with her i'm telling ya unless he's an ex boyfriend and history's already run it's course. But she already knows this, regardless of the arguments it causes, she knows it, she knows it. She already know….
But your victorious i told you so will be short lived, his confession fell on ears that weren't so keen. In retaliation she armits to fucking Sunny Jim before you rocked up on the scene. And she already knows this….
But your victorious i told you so will be short lived, your smug gloating smashed in it's face when in retaliation she tells you that she fucked the bastard before you arrived on the scene, oh fucking wonderful, i weep just writing this. I'm not paranoid and it isn't plutonic, that geezer aint no friend, he's a sniffer.That geezer aint no friend, he's in love with her. And she already knows it…..
