Shave my beard
and i’ll wax your moustache
More or less
The law of elevation
A steady hush, you push
Flip side of your hindsight
Here’s generous
Paying close attention
Down traffic lights
Naysayers & believers
Another loudmouth
In a quiet room
Most nights
You put your arm around me
Feeling strange
Like the vampire
Alien of bloodlust
Hanging strange
Like the vampire
Vagabond of wanderlust
Shave my head
and i’ll paint on your eyebrows
We’ll go out
Call each other, 'Dear'
Bird flies with me
Directions in the detail
Get a new facade
Lie broken in the quiet
What is fear when fear is fear no more
Feeling strange
Like the vampire
Alien of bloodlust
Hanging strange
Like the vampire
Vagabond of wanderlust
Shave my head
Sing me off the night rails
We’ll go out
Raise our little hell.

Your Hollywood

Every night i dream she’s killing me
I wake and thank my flaming stars
When all she wanted was to mention
Old anger turned a serenade
Anteros waits with quiver & arrow
Choosing sides was way too shallow
Open city holds its shutters down
Silver orphans ride the midnight plough
Where Embankment meets the river
Every night amongst circus buildings
Awake beneath the bleeding heart
When all was needed was to question
The lie beyond a serenade
Sealed gates of suburbia
Weeping willows in the purple air
Open country pulls it’s shutters down
Silver orphans ride the midnight plough
Where Embankment meets the river
Why do you keep holding on
to a past you’ve surely forgotten?
Don’t be late for your Hollywood
Thought i heard your inner persuasion
Don’t be late for your Hollywood
Out the window of a fallen empire
We were the lights that simmered on
Why do you keep holding on
to a past you’ve surely forgotten?
Don’t be late for your Hollywood
Thought i heard your inner persuasion
Don’t be late for your Hollywood
Out the window of a fallen empire
Through the airwaves
Unmarked cabs
As for goodbyes..we never did them
We were the lights that simmered on.

Disorder and me
Were friends from the start
As i've got older
We've been growing apart
Keep lining things up and writing things down
It fooled me and phased me
As in a video game
Seems to get simpler
If you laugh at the pain
Keep chewing it down and spitting it out
I've waited to be a pardoned rogue
since i've left home
If that's the audition
I know that i've failed
Should've been over
Before it began
Change the colour
Of my passport?
Is it a comedy or tragedy
That you left me for her and a different life
No trajectory or philosophy
Can lead me up this road out of candle light
For nostalgia i don't care
Oh my friend here it is, goodbye
Sad to see you go
I won't forget you
I need to find a new supply
Is it a comedy or tragedy
That you left me for her and a different life
No prediction machine, science magazine
could lead me up this road of oversight
We were lost in a garden of dead hours
We were bound to fall under a taste that soured
Those intentions turn to rust
Fail to haunt me and i must
Cannonballs to burning bridges
Broken in pieces like..I don't know
Yea you told me
That i should be glad
Sister and sister
I think i've been had
Comedy or tragedy
That you left me for her and a different life
No trajectory or philosophy
Can lead me up this road out of candle light
Let me your bridesmaid please
When the two of you become wife and wife.
