THE DAY I FELL FOR A GYPSY GIRL
NEVER THOUGHT MY HAIR WOULD CURL,
THE DAY I FELL FOR A GYPSY GIRL.
I LOST ALL SENSE OF CLARITY,
THE WORLD SPUN ALL AROUND ME.
SHE MENTIONED I WAS CYNICAL
AND THEY WROTE MY CASE OFF AS CLINICAL,
SLOWLY MY PSYCHE BECAME UNDONE
LIKE AN OLD POLAROID THAT GOT BURNT BY THE SUN.
SO FAREWELL THEN, I WAS WONDERING,
IF LIFE’S WHAT HAPPENS IN BETWEEN CAN I HAVE MORE OF IT?
AT FIRST EVERYTHING ELSE SEEMED SMALL
´TILL WHEN I RECEIEVED THAT LATE NIGHT CALL,
SHE TOLD ME OUR STORY WAS SINKING,
SO I PUT IT ALL DOWN TO MY DRINKING.
SPOKE TO A FRIEND WITH EXPERIENCE
WHO TOLD ME MY MIND WAS DELIRIOUS.
“DON´T GET LOST IN THOSE IN AND OUT´S
´CAUSE IN LIFE EVERY SECOND COUNTS.”
SO FAREWELL THEN, I WAS WONDERING, IF LIFE’S WHAT HAPPENS IN BETWEEN CAN I HAVE MORE OF IT?
BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW,
ANOTHER WAY TO CURE YOUR DYING HEART.
SOCIAL MEDIA ARRANGE EVEN THE IMPOSSIBLE.
FOLLOW THE MELODY FLOW
´CAUSE THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE BETTER OFF APART,
SO HERE’S ONE HAPPY END.
SO FAREWELL THEN, I WAS WONDERING, IF LIFE’S WHAT HAPPENS IN BETWEEN CAN I HAVE MORE OF IT?

CANDYFLOSS
CANDYFLOSS NO TEETH AT TWENTY, SUGAR SPUN WITH AIR. DEJA VU, A FEELING THAT YOU CAN´T IGNORE,
THE NIGHT YOU TOOK MY ARM DOWN AT THE FAIR.
CANDYFLOSS MY POCKETS EMPTY, I NEVER USED TO CARE.
A LITTLE TASTE IS WHAT IT TAKES AND IT ALL RUSHES BACK TO ME, SLEEPING IN THE WOODS DOWN AT THE FAIR.
AND YOU KNOW THE RING THAT WE FOUND ALONE
AND I SNUCK IT INTO YOUR ROOM BEFORE I TURNED TO GO.
THE LIGHT IN YOUR ROOM LATE SEPTEMBER GLOW,
AS I MADE MY WAY BACK HOME THE TOWN BELOW.
IF YOU’RE NOW MARRIED IS NOT MY BUSINESS
BUT I’LL BE COMING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS.
BOOZE WILL DULL THE MEMORY, PAINT THE TOWN. RED.
THE LIGHT IN YOUR ROOM LATE SEPTEMBER GLOW, AS I MADE MY WAY BACK HOME THE TOWN BELOW.

EVERYTHING FADES
IT’S GONE MIDDAY AND I CAN’T GET OUT OF BED,
A HUNDRED DIFFERENT VOICES IN MY HEAD.
THE LAST TIME WE WENT THROUGH THIS SAID IT WOULD BE THE LAST,
SO MUCH FOR A PROMISE WHEN YOUR SELF-BELIEF HAS CRASHED.
WE MAY BE LOSERS BUT THIS TIME WE MIGHT WIN,
AND SCREW THE STEREOTYPES THEY’RE FITTING US IN.
WE JUST DO IT IN THE NAME OF FUN
AND WE´RE NOT GONNA RUN.
WEARY OF THOSE THAT TRY TO PROVE THAT THEY’RE WELL-READ
AND COME ACROSS AS DELUSIONAL INSTEAD.
THE VERY SAME THAT JUDGE YOU BASED ON THE PAST
BUT IT’S HARDLY AMUSING WHEN IT’S SAME PLACE SAME TIME SMASHED.
WE MAY BE LOSERS BUT THIS TIME WE MIGHT WIN,
AND SCREW THE STEREOTYPES THEY’RE FITTING US IN.
WE JUST DO IT IN THE NAME OF FUN
AND ARE NOT GONNA RUN.
EVERYTHING FADES EXCEPT FOR THE SOUND
EVERYTHING FADES EXCEPT FOR THE SOUND
AND WHEN ALL DISAPPEARS I STILL HEAR YOUR VOICE IN STEREO.

POWER BALLAD PRINCE
WHEN YOU SAID I WAS YOUR PRINCE,
YOU GOT LOCKED INSIDE OF THIS.
PERHAPS YOUR BLOG’S MISLEADING
AND YOU’RE A FAKE ALL ALONG.
MAYBE THE WORDS DECEIVE ME
AND THAT’S WHAT YOU WANT.
SEVEN YEARS THAT HAVE PASSED SINCE
AND STILL THOSE MEMORIES MAKE ME WINCE.
OLD FRIEND’S WORDS SO DEMEANING,
A BRAVE FACE AND A HIT SONG.
LEFT STARING AT THE CEILING,
THAT’S WHAT I WANT.
´CAUSE WE STEAL AND WE LIE
´CAUSE WE KNOW WE WON’T BE MISTAKEN.
NOW THE NOOSE IS ALL IN PLACE
SO LET’S GO BURY OURSELVES.
OLD FRIEND’S WORDS SO DEMEANING,

´CAUSE WE STEAL AND WE LIE

NOW THE NOOSE IS ALL IN PLACE
SO LET’S GO BURY OURSELVES.

SECRET WORLD
LET’S GO AWAY FOR A WHILE
OR DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY.
TRANSCEND SPACE AND TIME,
A SECRET WORLD OF OUR OWN.
YOU COLLECT DINOSAURS
AND A CANINE LOVE THAT’S GROWING.
YOU CRACK ME UP LIKE “ANNIE HALL”
AND YOU EVEN HAVE A SIMILAR NAME.
THE GOOD THINGS THAT WE SHARED
DO FAR OUTWEIGH THE PROBLEMS.
THE DAY I WATCHED YOU BRUSH YOUR HAIR,
BARCELONA, MAY 2015.
A WEEK IN LONDON TOWN WILL PERVADE IN MY MEMORY
AND THOUGH I OFTEN MAKE YOU FROWN,
THERE’S A SECRET WORLD OF OUR OWN.
HOLLYWOOD ENDINGS,
LET’S FACE IT WE’RE NO DIFFERENT TO THE REST.
I’M DONE WITH PRETENDING
SO WHILE WE’RE HERE AT LEAST LET’S DO OUR BEST.

MEXICO 86
YOU PUSHED MY IN THE WATER TO THE LAUGHTER OF THE REST.
CHILDREN PAINT IN DIFFERENT COLOURS AND NOTHING REALLY MATTERS.
IN THE EYES OF EMILY I WAS ALWAYS SECOND BEST, FOOTBALL DREAMS AND DODGY SCHEMES
THAT’S WHEN LIFE SEEMED SO LIBERATING.
IMAGINATION TURNS TO FRUSTRATION.
TIME WAS A GOOD FRIEND AND THEN IT TURNED INTO SOMEONE I FEAR
BUT AT LEAST NOW WE’RE NOT AFRAID OF THE DARK.
NOW YOUR HEART’S GROWN COLDER,
COLDER THAN THE SNOW THAT HASN’T FALLEN FOR MANY A YEAR NOW.
I DON’T RECOGNIZE THE BOY I DID KNOW.
MY FIRST REAL CLEAR MEMORY, A HOLIDAY IN ’86,
CARRYING AROUND MY STICKER ALBUM.
I WISH I’D NEVER SOLD THE MILENNIUM FALCON.
IMAGINATION TURNS TO FRUSTRATION.
JADED AND WEARY, TIME MAKES YOU TEARY.

FAR FROM BLUE
RUNNING AWAY FROM THE GHOST NOW IT’S STARTED TO LOOK REAL.
REWIND THE DAYS TO THE TIME THAT YOU TRIED TO TAKE THE WHEEL.
I SEE YOU FAR FROM BLUE,
PETTY RUMOURS DON’T MEAN IT’S TRUE.
GIVE ME THREE WORDS OR DISAPPEAR I SEE YOUR PRIDE IS ACHING.
I STAND ACCUSED OF EXPOSING DOMESTIC BLISS YOU’RE FAKING.
I SEE YOU FAR FROM BLUE PACK OF LIES TELL ME IT IS TRUE.
FAMILIAR FACES IN DISTANT PLACES,
WE COULD’VE OWNED WHICHEVER SCENE WE WANTED.
GO INTO HIDING, I’LL BRING THE TIDE IN.
I SEE YOU FAR FROM BLUE,
DOESN’T ANYONE SEE IT.
I SEE YOU FAR FROM BLUE,
NERVOUS LAUGH TELLS ME IT IS TRUE.

THE MYSTERY OF AMY WU
I WASN’T FAMILIAR WITH HER NAME,
A RANDOM PHOTOGRAPH.
I ASSUMED I TO BE SOME KIND OF HOAX.
THEN SHE WROTE ME TO TELL ME I LOOKED FRIENDLY
AND WE SPOKE FOR AN HOUR.
SHE’D NEVER BEEN TO EUROPE BUT ONE THING I WAS SURE OF.
LIFE IS OVER YONDER, A FUTURE OVER YONDER.
SAID AMY “THE WORLD’S GONE CRAZY,
NO RESPECT FOR HUMAN LIFE.
ALL ANYONE CARES ABOUT’S THEIR OWN.”
SO YOU CAN CALL ME IDEALIST BUT I’M FEARLESS
AND JUST TO PROVE IT TONIGHT.
TAKING OFF ON THE NIGHT PLANE,
KISSING GOODBYE TO SPAIN.
I’LL TRAVEL HALF THE WORLD TONIGHT,
ANOTHER CHANCE TO DO THINGS RIGHT.
AND THEN SHE STARTED TO SHOW RESERVATIONS
AND I WAS NEVER KNOWN FOR PATIENCE.
AMY OH AMY YOU’RE NOT GOING CRAZY,
THE LAST TIME WE SPOKE THE WORLD SWALLOWED US WHOLE.

3 YEARS AND COUNTING
TOOK ME SOME TIME TO WRITE THESE WORDS
‘CAUSE SHE DOES SURPASS WHAT I DESERVE.
IF IT’S A GAME WE BOTH HAVE WON,
THOUGH AT TIMES IT APPEARED TO BE ALMOST DONE.
A BIRTHDAY CAKE, A PLASTIC KNIFE,
NOW THERE IS HOPE WHERE THERE WAS STRIFE.
SOMEONE WHO’S WILLING TO PULL ME
FROM THE DEPTHS OF MEDIOCRITY.
COULD THIS BE THE END THAT’S DRAWING NEAR
OR IS IT ONLY THE BEGINNING?
SOME NIGHTS THE BELLS CHIME IN THE WEST,
IN A WHITE ROOM WE LAY OUR BONES TO REST.
THE PICTURE DOESN’T FIT THE FRAME.
THEY CALL IT “THE HEARTBREAK CAMPAIGN”.
SAND CASTLES MELT INTO THE SEA ON A BEACH
THAT ALWAYS INSPIRES ME TO FIGHT THE URGE TO PROCRASTINATE.
SO ENJOY IT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
WHEN TOMORROW COMES WE SHOULDN’T FEAR,
IT COULD BE ONLY THE BEGINNING.
A DROP IN THE OCEAN, A FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN.
THE PLANET’S DON’T STOP SPINNING ROUND.
COULD YOU BE THE ONE THAT I LOVE AND GROW OLD WITH?
IT’S 3 YEARS AND COUNTING FROM NOW.

SOMEWHERE ON THE COSTA BRAVA
’84 WHEN BARELY FIVE.
MINUTEMEN “DOUBLE NICKELS ON THE DIME”.
HUSKER DU AND “ZEN ARCADE”
WHEN R.E.M. RELEASED “RECKONING”.
EVEN MAINSTREAM WASN’T SO LAME
“BORN IN THE U.S.A.” AND “PURPLE RAIN”.
BUT MY FAVOURITE HONESTLY
WAS THE REPLACEMENTS ALBUM “LET IT BE”.
