Kept clandestine
In young gloomy minds
So better act out, than be held down/ jejune schoolyard games
Get lost in the wild it's summertime
Would be such a shame
But why go outside, when in my dreams I can fly?
No stronger winds have struck this house before
The constant kind was easier to ignore
White noise mixed with memories I adored
But now this house it makes no home
And rings behave like stones
They're bound to decompose
My feline flesh and bones
On country roads
It's shandies and raincoats
The darker the night the brighter the stars
that shine/ a mirror to your eyes
Let's bundle up
It's miles from the station to the club
Her sharp tongue belies a porcelain heart
A shaky end that fits the solid start
And lovers of the night comes day must part
But still it's hours until dawn
And our favourite tune is on
Let's dance and sing along
Till everyone is gone
While you and I remain
Perhaps another day
But who can really say
When love becomes disdain

All the places we used to roam they don't look the same
And the doorbell panel now bears a different name
I spend my afternoons
Inside the evening rooms
Still hungover from yesterday's news
Believe me if only I could find you again, find you again
Afrasiab, my love, if I could find you again, find you again
May my love's salty tears never dry, tears never dry
There are thorns on the flowers that grow
On the street that paves my only way back home
Well time's flying by there's no delay
And I can't expect anyone to stay
Still why do I feel betrayed
Fool me
Then soothe me
Cold drinks for my feverish dreams
The owl calls the hour
Through spiderwebed curtains
Afrasiab, my love
All the days and all of the nights
All my faith into all of those lies
May my love's salty tears never dry

All at sea (Acoustic)

My friend's all at sea
Says he finally arrived somewhere
Found his remedy
Strolling round calmly unaware
A bunch of forlorn dreams
Strewn across the shore by their tides.
So don't you mind; He'll be alright
There are times when I'm all afraid I'll never get to
where everyone wants me to go
it's a steep, it's a beaten track
Dare them/ they'll change the course of your riverbed
then expect you to lie in it
stay on course never mind the gap
They bottle up all their grief
then serve it to their progeny
stone-cold
so bold
Their picture's grey and humdrum
a dead straight line for years to come
no pause
no applause
There's a time and a place for everything to unfold
Just wait for the sea to get hold
of your heart and your racing mind
Tear up your schemes and let the tide's greedy hands
erode all lines in the sand
Leave the shore/ leave it all behind
My friend's all at sea
Says he's finally at peace
