Majorette
Imitation red carnation
Nothing is new
And neither are you
It’s what you say you don’t do
Bottom of your well
That’s where you fell
Majorette like there’s nothing left
If there was nothing left to lose
Then you’d have
Something to prove
And you would never tip your hat
Has it come to that
Watch it spin like that
Watch you spin like that
Watch it spin like that
She’s So Lovely
She’s so lovely
Everything about her
Mannerisms of another
Castles in the sand
Money in your hand
And all I have to do
Is everything for you
From the way that her eyes are
Shaped like the skies
Making me sick
With her head on my shoulder
Waking up barely just to believe
For her dinner
Baby pink lavender
Leather white umbrella sinner
She’s so lovely
Everything about her
Mannerisms of another
Castles in the sand
Money in your hand
And all I have to do
Is stay away from you
All Your Yeahs
Hush don’t you cry
In the next life
She takes me to the water
Don’t say a word
And when I ask her
Is she doing alright
She’s a rollercoaster
And yeah, she’s a fire in the night
Lay your dead flowers
All in a row
Sooner or later
We’re gonna let them go
And when she asks me
Are we doing it right
Come a little closer
You’ve got nothing left to hide
Hush don’t you cry
In the next life
And when they ask us
Are we happy inside
We’re a rollercoaster
And yeah, we’re a fire
In the night
What can you say
All your yeahs
It’s your life
Do you right
Give them love
All your yeahs
What can you say
All your yeahs
It’s your life
Do you right
Give them love and give it away
One Thing
One thing yeah about you
You always yeah you always know
What’s happening
Perfect in the morning
And you ruin it in the evening
Remarkable
When a likeness comes
You’re lucky just to meet
Come down the hill
And up the stairs
She never really sleeps
Closer now
In the mirror
Your reflection, my reflection
Growing nearer
Pressure oh the pressure
In confession
Hallelujah
Remarkable
When a likness comes
You’re always out of reach
The faces in the secondhand
A little fuck off kiss
Remarkable
That you’re lucky just to meet
Come down the hill cuz she never really sleeps
Common Girl
You used to live in this part of town
Until you hit the ground
She makes movies where she cries on cue
She still lives downtown
But it’s okay
Cuz she’s common anyway
And the streets are all filled
With the strangers, who pay the bills
She’s the one with the lazy eye
Promises never come filled
Takes the pills and hides the notices
Cartoon rings of ill will
But it’s okay cuz she’s common
In every way
And the streets are all filled
With the strangers, pay the bills
Nobody special
Done a good thing
For somebody else
Taking advantage
Of that good thing
For nobody else
The Traveller
When I come home
You’re just lying there
Face against the wall
Never had a care
I am just a traveller
There’s no light in this room
And the body’s aching at night
Would I be acting up
If I said
It’s not enough
Who knows who else who is with
No one is with the traveller
There’s a light in my eyes
And a future invisible now
Heard it’s your birthday
Candles in a row
Better blow them quick
Before they’re melting on the floor
You were never a traveller
There’s no light in your room
And the bodies don’t ache in the night
Would I be acting up
If I said
Not that much
Who else would do
Anything for the traveller
There’s a light in her eyes
And a future visible touch
I was looking out of the window at the sky
Starless vigil of a life that has gone by
Saturn turning and I feel there’s not much more
For a vision of the night turn off your light
Elegy To The Void
To your sons and daughters
Bending at the altar
Disappearing in the mirror
Watch it as it burns out
It is just a flame
Freckle face young virgin
It is just a game
Platinum vision
Bringing you down again
And again
Again and again
Black clock looming distant
You’re a great white
They were never listening
Waiting for the light
To come again
Deep beneath the waves
Lillies of the day
Garden of remains
Diamond maiden chained
To your sons and daughters
Bending at the altar
Don’t you disappear
In the mirror again and again
Again and again
Deep beneath the waves
White-winged birds of may
Run from hollow hills
Walk into the night
Deep beneath the waves
Lillies of the day
Run from hollow hills
Walk into the night
Deep beneath the waves
White-winged birds of may
Run from hollow hills
Walk into the night
Rough Song
In the middle of the party
Found a hole to be sorry
Through the glass
Drank a memory
Of her face
All the charm in the evening
Peridot television
Loveless another
Daughter and mother
Shut the door she’ll have no more another vodka cocktail party
Her story unravels like a ribbon in the windy distance
Schoolgirls were prayin’
Lace curtains fading
Fern of the forest
Dearly beloved
Hard to hear she spit on you and made your bloody nose more bloody
Shut the door she’ll have no more another vodka cocktail party
Totems in the night
I want to forget
All that wasn’t right
I need to leave
totems in the night
I want to forget
all that wasn’t right
I need to leave it
totems in the night
I want to forget
All that wasn’t right
She needs to leave it
Somewhere Tonight
Pink and blue
Were dancing
Empty floor
Shadows lancing
Somewhere in a ballroom tonight
Red and blue
Combination
Old man
Finds elation
Somewhere in a ballroom tonight
Love me see what I see tonight
Let us find elation
Somewhere in a ballroom tonight
Nowhere on an ordinary night
