Blood

I wish it was someone else's blood on the johnnie. It's in my mouth and under my nails. I wish I'd woken up in someone else's bed. I wish I was the wind in someone else's sails. I've no-one in particular in mind right now. It was inevitable we'd end up in the sack. I should have known you'd want to try again. But I'm looking forward now, I'm not stepping back. And my last lover's playing with a new man now. It's only three weeks we've been apart. They sat together and he sent her flowers. Well he can fucking keep that fickle disco tart. 'cause I've had it up to here with little girls. She looked ugly today day, smoking a fag. Just like a schoolgirl trying to look grown-up..

Cherubs

I see cherubs swarm around the bed and swooping down to kiss your head.. Only when you're wrecked do you agree with all my plans for you and me.. The walls breathe we're locked tight.

Autumnal

If you learn to drive, I can use the train and the bus.. When you're mobile, we'll go, take my toys and your cat with us.. We'll leave the violence, we'll hve something to do..

Aries The Ram

When we were last here we named our offspring. But we never even did it, we never really did anything.. We shared a birthday so we we shared a do. And they cooked my/your clothes when I was upstairs with you..

Act Of War

If your hair was a call to arms and your legs were what skirts are for then your mouth was a red alert but your eyes were an act of war.. I needed a nurse and a mother, I needed an open-minded whore..

Who Named The Days?

(afternoon) Soaps

Sit by me silently and brush my beard. No mess to mop up from the bed today. Will we sit next door and watch the soaps?. We've nothing to do and we've nothing to say.

Wasting

Half nine I'm glued to you,. Then I'll disappear.. And come at your other side,. It lasted three year.. . Fuck love, fight love,. Fuck love, fight.. Fuck love and chuck love 'til tomorrow night..

Turbulence

You always jump and quiver. When you're coming in to land. With no runway, no guidance. No nails dug into my hand. . We could ask whoever we want. We could go back to school.

The Shy Retirer

The Long Sea

You've always thought the first time was that night on the boat. Cramped up in the bottom bunk while she slept above. I suppose it's more glamorous out at sea under the moon.

The First Big Weekend

So that was the first big weekend of the summer... Starts Thursday as usual with a canteen quiz and again no-one wins the big cash prize. Later I do my sound bloke routine by approaching Gina's new boyfriend to say that he shouldn't feel that there's any animosity between us and then I even go and make peace with her. I shouldn't have bothered. Then on Friday night we went through to the Arches....

The Drinking Eye

It doesn't matter how hard you try to deny What I can see clearly with my drinking eye. You know I'd never stop until I see you cry, Make you insist through snot and tears that you'd never lie. Now my Friday nights have many uses..

The Clearing

Soaps

Sit by me silently and brush my beard. No mess to mop up from the bed today. Will we sit next door and watch the soaps?. We've nothing to do and we've nothing to say.

Tanned

The Greek sun made you lovely. But attacked me with its rays.. I feel asleep and burned so badly. I could barely move for the first few days.. . The girls in front all lay topless.

Serenade

Scenery

You used to be part of the scenery. But now I know your name. And my mind wonders what my hands would do. To make sure that you came. . She hardly said a word again tonight.

Screaming In The Trees

We met on mutual ground. But you avoided my gaze. Until I lost your face. In the next morning's haze. . You're shoes could've woken up the whole street.
