LAID LOW IN LAY-BYS.
There's trees and fields, And dried, stoned walls, And cows behind fences. Tractors, farmhouses, Dungheaps, dead stumps, runners, Walkers hand in hand...
Prams and scooters, Horses on tight bends, Cars too fast, cars too slow. Pelotons. Jokes on bikes. "You don't like cherry pie, do you, love?".. .."No!".. ..Do you love?..
Youngsters, oldsters, thin and fat. Warm and cloudy. Buses lumber on, As pigeons swoop, And pylons stand as six-armed giants..
Copses hint at what might've been. Silage bags sit five rolls high. Fire engine passing by Telegraph poles. Crows criss-crossing...
DEBTS TO PAY.
Teenage girls with prams, on phones Arguing with lovers about payday loans. Beating out the boom box at half past three Walk on, there's nothing here to see.
'Cos we're so far away We're much better, but not much better. We've all got debts to pay Debts to pay.
Change the locks from blond to brown. Mend the socks, and darn it, put that needle down. Keep the light on near your bed, and in your head. Education was for someone else instead.
'Cos we're so far away We're much better, but not much better. We've all got debts to pay Debts to pay.
And if we've had enough, why can't we give it up? Too scarred to say for what we crave. If it's holding us and it's a crutch, Well that's enough, I've had too much.
'Cos we're so far away We're much better, but not much better. We've all got debts to pay 'Cos we're so far away We're much better, but not much better. We've all got debts to pay Debts to pay.
BOXES
I won't stray From any boundary that you Put my way I'm not going anywhere new.
We are letting up, we are getting out, Packing those boxes. We are moving on, we are setting out, Treading our own path.
Leave today If you look back you may crumble To dust, blown away, On an icy wind of trouble.
We are letting up, we are getting out, Packing those boxes. We are moving on, we are setting out, Treading our own path.
Had plenty of chances. All the good times can't outweigh all the bad things, But it hurts anyway - Not just emotionally, but also physically.
Look both ways. There are tracks that will need crossing. On some days There will be a need for something.
We are letting up, we are getting out, Packing those boxes. We are moving on, we are setting out, Treading our own path.
HOW FAR EIFFEL
I'm learning to be a good friend To the bear in the sheepskin. He's telling me all I need to know. If I could chase him out I'd be one really happy person. If I could clear my head I'd be one really happy boy.
This weaving, you're doing I know this moment well. Convinced that I've fallen. Is this how far I fell?
Circus-bred boy ain't making too much sense now. Can't understand his policies at all. Stop bugging me, stop fucking me about, You're sick in the head, son. You trespassed on my mind Like you trespassed all the times before.
This weaving, you're doing I know this moment well. Convinced that I've fallen. Is this how far I fell?
CNN, ITN, News At Ten, the why and when. Social media's lost its soul. Serge Aguero's scored a goal! Fashion's out and no one cares Age of vice of beards and flares. Charlie Chuck is now PM, The Woodentops and Bill and Ben Fuck ragged, And shoot heroin..
SIMPLE THINGS
Just like the dreams I can't forget All my friends I think I've met I don't want to have regrets Over words I may have said. Uneven contest this Parting glance versus parting kiss. My inhibitions I can't resist.
I could just be wrong, I just could be right, But it's the simple things I missed, 'Cos the simple things I miss. And if you take my strength away Will I give up this fight and say "Uneven contest this..".
And in my head, there's a space I can call my own. I can go there when I don't feel too strong. If I ever feel the need to get away There's a furnished room in my mind where I can stay. Playful now Feel this need to play.
I could just be wrong, I just could be right, But it's the simple things I missed, 'Cos the simple things I miss. And if you take my strength away Will I give up this fight and say "Uneven contest this..".
BUG
Feel like crawling under your stone I know how you feel now, 'cos you told me so. I'm falling into your web To be sucked dry. Cocooned, and I'm feeling about this high. So small that you could crush me with one step. One step and no more..
I've been breeding And now there's more than just one of us here now. So think twice before you come in here. You might not like what you will see here. Don't you smile, 'cos I know..
I know, I know. Don't you smile 'cos I know.
You've been thinking That the only way out is between us. That I spoiled all the plans you created. All the time you were looking straight at me. Under the sink is where you will find it. Under your nails the skin you scratched off me. Don't you smile 'cos I know..
I know, I know. Don't you smile 'cos I know.
Close your eyes and it'll all go away. Dream your dreams 'cos they won't be here today. Close your eyes.. Dream your dreams..
