Cultural conventions in many different directions alienating me.
Quick to cut collectives, wolfpacks of soul detectives saying we are free.
Go your own way, be your fucking self, don't eat your face off in spite of your health, babe.
Pick a fight with the old oak tree by the eternal river's bank. You might as well you have nothing to sell except the clothes on your back.
I cross inspected and dissected the chess board of life.
Hey there Bishop, what's your game? Are you black or are you white?
I'll set sail beyond the pale and forget the shackles of old.
I'll lay my hat on your chimney stack, I have the sky to hold. I have the sky to hold.

Words I Never Said

WORDS I NEVER SAID
As flowers grow back into the ground
Incertitude condenses into sound
As I wait, my voice echos of words I never said
And the law have put a price upon my head
(Chorus) The walls echo of words I never said
You can't rest until your demons have been fed
What can you do with yesterday?
Whistle too hard and you'll blow it away
Running from tomorrow wont get you much today
Your choice you can leave or you can stay
The year is fourteen ninety two
Columbus is sailing the ocean blue
He didn't fancy taking an aeroplane at all
He's playing bass guitar on tour with The Fall
They get paid to lie, they get paid to croak
A vote's a plea, we're guilty! Says an 'average bloke'.
Guilty of validity, guilty of consciousness
Eldritch order posing as a mess
But what about little Domino Jo?
She ain't seen her sister since a quarter to 4
But then again she ain't seen anything else
They say she just got lost within herself
Tomorrow's papers existed yesterday
Everything's already here
Don't preach to me about livin' out your dreams
Unless you preach into the other ear...
(Outro chorus) Don't give me that diplomatic look
My dreams are made of absense and futuristic blues
Don't give me that diplomatic look
My dreams are made of nothing you can use

Hum

On a winter's day in a soft breeze beneath centuries in the leaves, there is no reason, there's no pleasing for your heart.
But who am I to sing songs to wallpaper, to trees fallen, to heartbreaker who will rattle his bones while I hum.
I feel okay, can't wait for yesterday, only yesterday's too far away. Send me luck please in the soft breeze i've run out.

Signpost Holder

Discarded life in the local graveyard.
Litterbug's last words in a birthday card.
People know i'm no lemon squeezer.
But i'll squeeze a few lemons in the name of art.
Signpost holder in the field by the motorway.
Advertising things I don't need.
You're minds made up and so are you so I wrote this song for you.
Fish fingers in the convenience store
Now the poor fish can't text no more.
Synthetic food and body parts.
Eat what we're eating or you're being a bore.
Christina dreamed of being a tree in the woods.
Guess she's not like the other dudes.
Dug a hole for her feet and filled it in.
Carved on by lovers while she steals tweens booze.

I'm not, i'm not sorry.
I'm not sorry about your girlfriend she wanted a different shade of green, i'm not sorry about your girlfriend now she's on the movie screen, I'm not sorry about your girlfriend so climb back on top of the world, i'm not sorry about your girlfriend so get out of that sorry hole she left you in.

I'm sick of this and i'm sick of that I'm gonna eat myself thinner and get real fat, i'll turn my earphones loud and start smoking again dance to radio 4 and count up to ten cos i've run out of energy i've run out of will. I'm only still going cos it's all downhill from here.
So i'll steal your car and i'll steal your wifi i'll cry to Morrissey playing on your hifi i'll board a spacecraft and i'll wear a crown and i'll try and find meaning before the sun goes down but i've run out of energy i've run out of will. I'm only still going cos it's all downhill from here.
