Sudden Movements

Isn’t it funny?
How hard we fall
How much we break.
Everything’s manic -
An overdosed asthmatic
Who went too far.
Now the pump won’t work
And he’s 12 puffs in
All he wants is sleep,
And what he needs
Is an ambulance
To rescue him.
Sudden movements make us break.
The more you fight
The worse it gets.
One moment you’re fine
You’re doing alright
Then you’re in a state
And you’re breaking plates
Behind the neighbour’s wall
And scribbling notes in your journal –
Any chance you could STOP?!
But you can’t.
And it aches.
And you thought
That’s just what people say, but
Sudden movements make us break.

City Song

This city is mine
We’ve come far together
I’ve seen its many faces
Its moods and its changes
I once was a stranger
Now it feels like home
This city is mine –
It’s here I have grown.
She comes in waves
Time knows her name.
This city is mine
Heaving and heavy
There’s cracks in her red-brick walls
She guards her soul
But sometimes when the sun shines
Her true colours show
Her soul is her music –
It’s vivid and it’s bold.
She comes in waves
Time knows her name
Like a river after floods
White water rushes,
She sings her gallant songs.
And though I don’t know what the future holds
This place becomes another piece of home.
This city is mine
We’ve come far together
I’ve seen her many faces
Her moods and her changes.

Magpie

All the world wants her heart
They have learned from the stars
In a twist of irony
This great tragedy –
That a star is lonely.
Lonely.
Oh magpie, lead me to my love.
So they gaze down at mortal lovers
They yearn to love like them
And time passes so slowly when you’re in one place
Oh, mixed signals and silence ‘coz talking is hard when you’re light-years apart.
Lonely, lonely.
Oh magpie, lead me to my love.
Magpie lead me to my love
Magpie lead me to my love.
Bridge across the Milky Way
That I may see my love again.

Wanted
04:38
|
|||
|
Kiss me like you mean it, then stop and take it back.
Tell me that you feel it, just to see if I’ll react.
Tell me that you love me, keep me caught up in the act
And so it goes, to have and to hold -
Until she comes home.
I know you’re dying to feel wanted
But I won’t give it to you just because you want it.
You say that it matters, that you don’t want me to hurt
You play snakes and ladders till I’m lying in the dirt
Well I know what I want, and what I need, and it ain’t you
These twists and turns, they’re followed by burns that you can’t undo.
I know you’re dying to feel wanted
But I won’t give it to you just because you want it.

Moments
05:25
|

|
Days with you are like endless sunlight
The golden hour that lasts
I’m day-riding east to west
Here the sun never sets
And I think of you fondly, darling.
Time can’t break what I’m holding
All these hours they’re unfolding
All these words that are spoken
But Beautiful are these moments.
One morning might be all we’ve got
One afternoon in a coffee shop
An evening watching the fireworks drop
Burning embers of the August rush.
It’s all still love after all
No matter how fast you fall
No matter how long it’s for
These moments are
Yours.
These moments are yours.
