Through clear skies tracking lightly from far down the line. no fanfare, just a blip on the screen.. no quick conclusions now everything will be fine,.
From a dead beat to an old greaser, here's thinking of you.. You won't remember the long nights;. coffee bars; black tights and white thighs. in shop windows where blonde assistants fully-fashioned a world made.
Watery eyes of the last sighing seconds,. blue reflections mute and dim. beckon tearful child of wonder. to repentance of the sin.. And the blind and lusty lovers.
Did you hear mother --. Saying I'm wrong but I know I'm right.. Did you hear father?. Calling my name into the night.. Saying I'll never be what I am now..
Shout if you will, but that just won't do.. I, for one, would rather follow softer options.. I'll take the easy line; another sip of wine,. and if I ignore the face you wore it's just a way of.
Old lady with a barrow; life near ending. Standing by the harbour wall; warm wishes sending. children on the cold sea swell ---. not fishers of men ---.
I flew in on the evening plane. Is it such a good idea that I am here again?. And I could cut my cold breath with a knife. And taste the winter of another life.
I believe in fires at midnight ---. when the dogs have all been fed.. A golden toddy on the mantle ---. a broken gun beneath the bed.. Silken mist outside the window..
Don't want to be a fat man. People would think that I was just good fun, man. Would rather be a thin man. I am so glad to go on being one, man. . Too much to carry around with you.
Nine miles of two-strand topped with barbed wire. laid by the father for the son.. Good shelter down there on the valley floor,. down by where the sweet stream run..
Placing people in their dreamscape. with fantasies of foreign fields. Lofty spires all well appointed. In off-season special deals.. . To far Alaska: down to Rio in the Carnival.
Fallen on hard times, but it feels good to know. That milk and honey's just around the bend. Running on bad lines we'd better run as we go. Tear up, tear up the overdraft again.
