Bring the Light

I can’t see what is happening to me
But I know that in the night you’ll be there
Inside my mind I’ve hidden away
So many secrets, so many lives
Pale blue light, I can hear you cry
But I’m too scared to ask what’s wrong
The pain that stays build the fear the frays
The thread that binds sweet love
Don’t give up
It’s a glorious life
Don’t throw it all away
Tomorrow will bring the light
Amber burns through a crack in the door
I know you might still be awake
I hesitate cause I don’t know what you’ll say
Stand in the frame and listen
Please come in she asks of me
But once again I walk away
I let you down, I didn’t turn around
Let you watch my ship wreck
Don’t give up
It’s a glorious life
Don’t throw it all away
Tomorrow will bring the light
Sweet love
It’s such a surprise
Caught in your eyes
I was hypnotised
But then the spell broke
Don’t give up
It’s a glorious life
Don’t throw it all away
Tomorrow will bring the light

Take your life in your own hands
Set yourself free
On the spectrum
Tall as the tree
No one sounds like you
Records that no one has heard of
Those are the ones
She plays for you
The fantasy come true
Her eyes cut right through
Gorgeous margins of masculinity
You’ve got to be kidding me
You’ve got to be
Teenage gypsy tells your fortune
Velvet romantic takes you down
Spinning records for the MC5
Hallucinating the desert drive
The killing floor is rising up
But pay it no mind
You’ve got nothing to lose
So take me to that place
By the bay
Watch the hips sway
Gorgeous margins of masculinity
You’ve got to be kidding me
You’ve got to be
I made a film that no one saw
Like thousands that came before
Then I came to see that no one but me cared about what I had to say
Gorgeous margins of masculinity
You’ve got to be kidding me
You’ve got to be

Sunday Afternoon

Sunday afternoon
All the dishes are done
Laundry hangs outside
Baking in the afternoon sun
The kids they play inside
The air con keeps them cool
Thought I’d take a ride in my mind
What a fool
Everyday is like the one that came before
Sunday afternoon
All the dishes are done
Laundry hangs back
Cooking in the midday sun
The kids are playing inside
The air con keeps them cool
Thought I’d take a ride in my mind
What a fool
Everyday is like the one that came before
Sunday night
Watching the A team before bed
Sunday night
Just waiting for those words to be said
It’s time for sleep
You’ve got school in the morning son
The tenderness of the weekend is undone
Sunday afternoon
All the damage is done
The laundry folded now
Return now the prodigal son
The kids are wild and free
The air con packed it in
That ride I thought I’d take
What a fool I’ve been
Everyday is like the one that came before

Dolphins

She’s Berlin
East and west to the best
She’s Berlin
Black hair, green eyes
Said one thing
To make her despise
In another life
I wouldn’t tell so many lies
We could sail away to that prison isle across the bay
She swam with the dolphins
What it could have been
Just a mid-age dream
No turning back from what you’ve done
This yearning won’t go away
Undone and left behind
There is nothing left to find
Could we sail away to that prison isle across the bay
She swam with the dolphins
What it could have been
Just a mid-age dream
She swam with the dolphins
What it could have been
Just a mid-age dream
Gonna knock down the wall
Gonna catch you if you fall
And if I’m not there
Don’t despair
Gonna knock down the wall
Gonna catch you if you fall
There’s a place for you
I see what you’ve bene through
Up above we begin
There’s no out and there’s no in
Sail away to that prison isle across the bay
She swam with the dolphins
What it could have been
Just a mid-age dream

Fabled Inbetween
03:42

Are you the camera person
The one who has come to shoot me down
Are you the information
Are you the regulation
The lack of inspiration
That causes the frown
Look in the mirror
And count the new lines
I’ll hold your finger
As you watch as drown
In the imagined never was
And the fabled in between
An acid flashback or was it a fever dream
An acid flashback or was it a fever dream
In silence we could rest
But the noise is always heard
Your English needs work
But I can’t speak a word
In silence we could rest
In silence we could rest
<instrumental bridge>
Are you the camera person
I’ve been waiting for over an hour
Where do you want me
In the light or shadow
The lack of inspiration
That causes the frown
Look in the mirror
And count the new lines on your face
In silence we could rest
But the noise is always heard
Your English needs work
But I can’t speak a word
In silence we could rest
In silence we could rest

Two Children
03:33

I met her on a Sunday
She was on her way to church
We met again three months later
And she knocked me off my perch
Time it is a mystery
Ten years and one day
Since we said I love you
And threw the fear away
Two children and a promise
Two children and a debt
Two children and a promise
A promise not to regret
She was searching for Jesus
Instead she found me
I've been living ten years long
In the shadow of the man from Galilee
I guess I could walk
But I’d never stop running
Stranded in a timeless sea
My choices made a misery of me
Two children and a promise
Two children and a debt
Two children and a promise
A promise not to regret
Five signs you should not engage
There was no wisdom from the mage
To get us out before it was too late
If only I had shut the gate
Two children and a promise
Two children and a debt
Two children and a promise
A promise not to regret

Affirmation

Sometimes, when the wind blows
I think the roof is going to come down
Nothing makes me feel more alone
Than a street full of show homes
No lights on
You tell me to keep happy
Turn my frown around
The car park is empty
In the town that promised plenty
White elephant waits in the room
It’s hard to see what you want to be
I could never read your personality
You tell me to keep happy
Turn my frown around
Look to the heavens
Look to the sun, the sun
Affirmation
Looking to feel good, feel real
Needing to know you love me so
Lipstick matches her finger shine
I daydream she wants me, her mine
The fantasy on the LCD
One flickering pixel at a time
You tell me to keep happy
Turn my frown around
You tell me to keep happy
Turn my frown around
