THIS IS A ROAD
Cut glass symmetry
Concrete cemetery
No more sunny days
Take me away from it all
Black tar, acetate
White lines, silver plates
Motorway, interstate
It makes no difference at all
This is a road, so where we headed
I do not know, I don’t regret it
Heavy load, forget about it
Far away from it all
This is a road with no direction
Nowhere to go, no destination
Let me go, no hesitation,
Far away from it all
Green fields, summer haze
Silver light, shiny lake
No more holidays
Take me away from it all
Blue light, TV set
Traffic noise, silhouette
Photographs, cigarettes
So far away from it all
This is a road, so where we headed
I do not know, i don’t regret it
Heavy load, forget about it
Far away from it all
This is a road with no direction
Nowhere to go, no destination
Let me go, no hesitation,
Far away from it all

Speak No More

SPEAK NO MORE
Speak no more, tell no lies
I can see the disappointment
In your eyes, in your smile
Speak no more, hold your tongue
You’ve been living like a landslide
since ‘91, and it’s no fun anymore
No more shadows on the lawn
No more staring down the sun
waiting for something
to come along
Speak no more, tell no lies
You can never get the time back
Though I’ve tried, since ‘95
Speak no more, unfold your hands
You can say it’s now or never
From where I am
I could never understand
No more shadows on the lawn
No more staring down the sun
waiting for something
No more shadows on the lawn
No more staring down the sun
waiting for something/nothing
to come along

Rolling In The Ashes

ROLLING IN THE ASHES
Have you been lighting fires in the park?
Another burning effigy of a memory
That I‘d sooner leave in the dark
Another little thing to pull apart
Another roman candle that you handle
To vandalise my heart
Let me roll around in the ashes with you
Let me roll around until you’re grey and I am blue
O let me roll around
Or bury me in the ground and let me go
O you set me off, every time
I am burning bright, and then I’m gone
Have you been taking pictures in your sleep?
The kind to mount an alibi
To make a grown man weep
Have you been holding secrets you can’t keep?
Smothered like a campfire
On a cold July, that won’t admit defeat
Let me roll around in the ashes with you
Let me roll around until you’re grey and I am blue
O let me roll around
Or bury me in the ground and let me go

Young & Useless

YOUNG & USELESS
When you were young and useless
Skin and bone and bruises
Brass tacks and biblical tracts
Were your sweet sullen music
When you were young and useless
Shining a light so ruthless
Like pouring salt in the wound
Like some magnetic Judas
When you hear me crying out
Time and time again
When you hear me crying out
Don’t forget...
To throw me a bone I need it
To carry it home defeated
Bury my face in the ground
Until your face has retreated
When you hear me crying out
Time and time again
Don’t forget what your mother said:
Hang on to your mystique
And your patent gloves
And your magazines
And your teenage loves
And your Vaseline
And your black leather boots
And take me dancing
