Forward Unto Armies

FORWARD UNTO ARMIES
Forward unto armies,
crash guest upon the seaways
Smiling chastity that reaches out, beneath her crimson shutter
Lying half asleep in bed at night
Drank maudlin and German wine
Upon the rusty doorway bleeding, halfway to the hell of needing
Pleasure me your eyes deceit, decrepit as the seat you sit
Below her moistened shutters beats a heart as hot as lightning
As i thrust the arrow forward in the dark and crazy circle
Passed the meshing of the moonlight as it breaks upon the mantle
of her dark forbidding entrance
Swallowed whole a fallow warning
From the grey dusk of the morning,
see it seep as though were running
In the ruin of the day, your eyes are blindly thrashing wildly
Then your shutters close forever and you find yourself in heaven
But the air there smells of bodies as they rot upon the carpet
In a thousand different coffins, lie the dreams you had forgotten
And when you feel your flesh go rotten, think of me upon the seaways
A man without a conscience, stripping bark to see the trees defeat
In bags, bring out the sorrow
Wasting time with stupid living
Giving out but not believing
Painful through the soft, relieving masterpiece.
I’m at peace.
So I cease

The Weather

THE WEATHER
Sitting on the outside looking outside at the weather
See you standing side by side so we’ll all go down together
Running up the mountainside I see the clouds below me
Selling off the daily grind I start to die more slowly
Just talking about the weather

Afloat

Afloat
There’s something in the water
Something in my bloodstream
Tearing at my cortex
Vibrating like the sunset
There’s something trapped inside me
There’s someone at the door now
My dog can see the future
But he don’t know how to tell me
Her body was beautiful
As i sat on my chair in a haze
My head was as hard as the airport floor
I could tell it was one of those days
There’s demons on the highway
Devils at the crossroads
There’s no-one here beside me
No-one to look up to
The sunlight’s free for tenants
But i don’t think i belong here

Hovering

HOVERING
Two paths
Several acres of forgotten dreams
Safe lanes
People roaming on unwoven seams
Lying on the edge of a raft
Waiting for the signalling craft
No door
Whitewashed windows and unlucky loves
Dark stars
Silent birds hovering far above
Waiting for the fire to begin
Watch the people learning to swim
Brick red
Colours that blind us when we look away
Clock ticks
Eyes as wild as the wild at play
Sitting by a tree in the park
Hanging by a rope in the dark
Lying on the edge of a raft
Waiting for the signalling craft

The Deep Breath

The Deep Breath
To take you to that party we never been to.
To take you to that island I can’t swim to.
The river will not stop to watch you
And it breathes in once more for the body
And then once more for the soul
One big breath for you
As together we will stay ‘til we’re not old.
Anymore
Not two
Anymore
Just one
As good and bad as I am
I am as good and bad as you are
I know deep down that you believe me
I always want you to be near me
So I know that you can see me
So I know I do exist
So I know I can persist
Past the turning of the day
I have to say that
I wouldn’t have it any other way

How Long Was I Away?

How Long Was I Away?
Who’s to say I was away
All the day is an amazing way to say that it’s amazing way to say or just to stay
Way to play or to unwind it
Ways to tie it tight and bind it
How long was I away?
Give me something for the pain
Give me something I can really care for something so exciting
Waiting for you in the rain
Gun in hand in case there’s much more fighting
So the world is frightening

Rollover
Take your places
This side next time
You’re much too sweet
And far too cheap for me
Rollover
Making headway
Speeding backwards
You’re much too sweet
And far too cheap for me
Rollover
Foreign passtime
Wake up dreaming
You’re much too sweet
And far too cheap for me
Rollover
Institution
Rest in armour
You’re much too sweet
But far too cheap for me
Rollover

Last Year's Thing

Last Year’s Thing
Put down the knife
I’ll close my eyes
As if in a dream
I’ll be alright
A being unseen and the queen of an empire
A type of a thing unknown to me now but that once was awake and with hate took redemption upon all of those who spoke of inception
A cause
Of course
Did plot
A course
For seas
To seize
The unease in me
Unable to see the being unseen
Hammer the nail for me
Hammer the nail in me
Hammer the nail makes three
It’s never so easy a thing as it seems to be certain to be
Being you
Being me
Down on the earth we’re searching for money
Passing the hours in the park when it’s sunny
Everyone laughs at the things that are funny
Come and I’ll know that it’s you
The fight is alright if the light can bring sight to the night
I’ll be your invented white knight
I’ll be alright
As if in a dream
I’ll close my eyes
Please put down the knife

Co-operate

Cooperate
Things eat things..crack their shells
Things eat things..break their wings
Some drink from the veins of others
Some drink from their mothers
Feeding on the air
Feasting everywhere
Turn petrol into paper pastel ambers
Banquet on the seeds
Reach down into the rocks and stones
We burn our homes
Whalebone pale, our faces fall
This show's too short for lives of sand
Hold up your hands and respirate
Things, catch the sun..things drink rain
Things, catch the sun..some things run
Some crawl on their hands and knees
Some crawl on beds of seas
Everything eats something
As much as is real
The orbit turns to eat itself
The pious fall and kneel
Does god eat gods for dinner
Or save him for desert
Everyone eats something
I gourge myself on dirt

Head
Get down
As soon as he comes
Say his name
As soon as he comes
Take aim
As soon as he runs
They’ll need the dogs to find him
She lights
The light in his eye
She fights
She knows she can’t die
She’s right
We’re judged from on high
We’re not from last time’s history
She was an angel now she’s just a burning tree
She starts to wail and spiral right in front of me
It takes a lifetime just to count to 23
The smoke disperses
Door it closes, Silently
We watch, the bodies that fly
We see the dead people die
All those who cry are all high
It must be something special
We scratch a line in the sand
Hand in hand with torches blazing
We kill. It is amazing
The doctor’s wife is crazy
When I saw her she just took my breath away
My heart’s dissolving as she throws her dress away
She reaches out for me and asks me what to say
I know the answer, but i don’t know how to play
But we’re ok
Get down
As soon as he comes
Say his name
As soon as he comes
Take aim
As soon as he runs
Those boots were made for walking
The last inclusion
Sees just one man sat to pray
Cross legs his eyes are closed he seems to be away
There’s nothing outside not a trace of night or day
No gods no monsters no-one to show him the way
But he’s ok
