BLOOM

Open your mouth wide.
A universal sigh.
And while the ocean blooms
It’s what keeps me alive.
“So why does this still hurt?”
Don’t blow your mind with why.

Moving out of orbit.
Turning in somersaults.
A giant turtle’s eyes.
Jellyfish float by.

MORNING MR MAGPIE

You got some nerve coming here.
You got some nerve coming here.
You stole it off give it back.
You stole it off give it back.

Good morning Mr Magpie, how are we today?
Now you’ve stolen all the magic and took my memory?

You know you should but you don’t,
You know you should but you don’t…

Good morning Mr Magpie, how are we today?
Now you’ve stolen all the magic and took my melody?

LITTLE BY LITTLE

Don’t turn nasty now
the dusts of hell
the pillar of my soul
The last one out of the box
the one who broke the spell

Little by little,
by hook or by crook
I am such a tease
and you’re such a flirt
Once you’ve been around you’ve been around enough
Little by little,
by hook or by crook
Never in earnest,
never get judged
I’m no idiot, I should look

The glue won’t hold
The thread unpulls
Uncurling with my love
The last one out of the box
the one who broke the seal

Obligation
Complication
Routines and schedules
A job that’ll kill you
Kill you

Little by little,
by hook or by crook
Never in earnest,
never get judged

I don’t know where it is I should look

Little by little,
by hook or by crook
I am such a tease
and you’re such a flirt

LOTUS FLOWER

I will shape myself into your pocket,
Invisible.
Do what you want, do what you want.
I will shrink and I will disappear,
I will slip into the groove and cut me off.

There’s an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root and
Now I’ll set you free,
I’ll set you free.
There’s an empty space inside my heart,
Where the weeds take root and
Now I’ll set you free,
I’ll set you free.

Slowly we unfurl as lotus flowers.
Cause all I want is the moon upon a
stick.
Just to see what if.
Just to see what is.
I can’t kick the habit
‘Just to feed your fast ballooning
head.’
“Listen to your heart!”

We will shrink and then be as quiet as mice
And while the cat is away
Do what we want, do what we want.

There’s an empty space inside my heart,
Where the weeds take root and
Now I’ll set you free,
I’ll set you free.

Cause all I want is the moon upon a
stick.
Just to see what if.
Just to see what is.
I can’t kick the habit
‘Just to feed your fast ballooning
head.’

“Listen to your heart!”

CODEX

Sleight of hand.
Jump off the end.
Into a clear lake.
No-one around.
Just dragonflies fantasised.
No-one gets hurt.
Done nothing wrong.
Slide your hands.
Jump off the end.
The water’s clear and innocent.
The water’s clear and innocent.

GIVE UP THE GHOST

Gather up the lost & their souls
Into your arms
Gather up the pitiful
Into your arms
What seems impossible
Into your arms
Now I think I’ve had my fill
Into your arms
I think I should give up the ghost
Into your arms

SEPARATOR

It’s like I’ve fallen out of bed from a long and vivid dream.

The sweetest flowered fruits were hanging from the trees.
Falling off a giant bird that’s been carrying me.
It’s like I’ve fallen out bed from a long a vivid dream.
Just exactly as I remember.
Every word, every gesture.
I’ve my heart in my mouth.
Like I’ve fallen out of bed from a long and vivid dream.
Finally I’m free of all the weight I’ve been carrying.

And as the woman blows her cover,
In the eye of the beholder.
I’m a fish now out of water.

Falling off a giant bird that’s been carrying me.

I fell open, I lay under at the tip of
I lost your number.
I want to slip over and get back under.
And if you think this is over then you’re wrong.

Like I’ve fallen out of bed from a long and vivid dream.

Finally I’m free of all the weight I’ve been carrying…
When at last you will give in.
Wake me up and wake me.

THESE ARE MY TWISTED WORDS

These are my twisted words
Went off the roof still walking
I know I should not look down,
but I’m so sick of just talking.

When are you coming back?
I just can’t handle it

HARRY PATCH (IN MEMORY OF)

I am the only one that got through
The others died where ever they fell
It was an ambush
They came up from all sides
Give your leaders each a gun and then let them fight it out themselves
I’ve seen devils coming up from the ground
I’ve seen hell upon this earth
The next will be chemical but they will never learn

SUPERCOLLIDER

Supercollider
Dust in a moment
Particles scatter
Coming out from the soup
Swimming upstream
Before the heavens crack open
Thin pixelation
Coming up from the dust

In a blue light
In a green light
In a half-life
In an arc light

I’m a bass bin
Flip-flopping
I’m a pulse wave
Outstepping

I put the shadows back into their boxes

I am open
I am welcome
For a fraction of a second
I have jettisoned
My illusions
I have dislodged
My depressions

and put the shadows back into their boxes
I put the shadows back into their boxes

I see angels hanging over the balcony

THE BUTCHER

Beauty will destroy your mind
Spare the gory details
Give them gift wrapped for the man with everything
Though I lived a lonely life
I was confused
now butcher
I feel nothing

As it courses up my arms
The position of the worms
Up
Up through my heart
Into my brain

I’m a bit slack
The basic combination
Cut out
Chopped
Liver on the block
My heart’s still pumping
My heart’s still pumping

He’s a worrier, worrier
Here’s a little bitch coming outta him
He’s a worrier, worrier
Here’s a little bitch coming outta him
Coming outta him

THE DAILY MAIL

The moonies are up on a mountain
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Waiting on a rapture

Singing, “we’re here to keep your prices down,
feed you to the hounds
to the daily mail”
together.

You made a pig’s ear
You made a mistake
Paid off security and got through the gate
You got away with it
But we lie in wait

Where’s the truth?
What’s the use in hanging round?
Lost and found with your head in the sand
Fat chance
No plan
No regard for human life
Keep trying
You’ve no right
Fast and loose
Win or lose
Jumped the queue
Go back again
President for life
Lord of all that flies in the sky
The beasts of earth
The fish in the sea

You’ve lost command

STAIRCASE

I walk down the staircase
A magnetic pull
Back to the other place
That I cannot go.

I’m sending a chopper to steal you away

The pot is full
Let me take control
Let me take control
The pot is full
of secrets to be told
Secrets to be told

I have always
and always will.

The pot is full
Let me take control
Let me take control
The pot is full
of secrets to be told
Secrets to be told
