Wished you'd run away with me
could've taken each day made it burn
it could burn for all we care
wished you'd run away with me
could've turned each day inside out
no matter what chance has to say
up to us in how we play
you could even hurt me and
i would take it all in my stride
Circumnavigate the dust
and a faulty lock that never turns
we could be trapped here all night
shouldn't redecorate
we should leave all these posters torn
they can fall for all we care
as we end up with walls bare
and we could leave all this buzz
we could leave all this buzz plugged in

Fingers on the fret - lighty not too tight
and a pitted floor
another night another stage
from the amp a hum - a shimmer from the drums
and the curtains drawn
and in places torn
edge a little left - then edge a little right
i feel fevered pitched
with my B.C Rich
don't care when we start
don't care when curtains part
but can't wait till we start
Curtains part - curtains part
band is tight - never light
into the light - into the light
the band is tight - band is tight ...
Blink away the sweat - blink away the light
up and down the scale
each notes a wail
maybe break a string - then quickly change a string
see my slight of hand
band keeps up the jam
close my eye's again - start another song
with my frets so grooved
woods warm and smoothed
people up the front
people up the back
play for ever more
Blink away more sweat - blink away more sweat
hear me shred - and hear me shred
up and down a scale - shred another scale
with my B.C Rich - with my B.C Rich

Yellow Dead Curtains

Everything begins with a door
this one being a car door
make sure the buttons are up
to escape your never caught sitting down
the cold's kinda cutting some more
surely you can see all that gravel?
We've come to another door
this one being a front door
whatever you do don't cough
there are other way's to use up ya breath
look at all those yellow dead curtains
no thought's been put in at all
watch he'll try it - bite it
let's try and keep it down
when it's business - its business
please try and keep it down
yea we know that - we know that
above us .............
so be quiet - ride it
it's business that we're at ya door
Used up a fair bit of my breath
but the cold has left my bones
when we walk back to the car
gotta keep avoiding that gravel
i know that i keep going on and on
but those yellow dead curtains ..
deader than dead

Crashland safely or so i thought
but look at my poor body
its so broken and distraught
Landed on my shoulder
and i think i tore my knee
with RSI creeping in
there's just no dignity
Day's are numbered so we should colour
them as best as we can
Pushed from a moving car
accidents from archery
if there's a faulty parachute
it'll get passed onto me
Hope
the definite cure
for all that we think and we can
if this is the hand that i'm dealt
i'm gonna cheat as much as i can

So all i gotta do is let my hear down and breath
you know it's easier than said
than its done
ain't putting two and two together anymore
you think that i'm always the difficult one
i'm not around when your around
If i was outside my self
and if i was watching me
if i was outside my self
i would laugh at watching me
your the prick in predicament
you certianly have a way
never simplify the means or the ends
i'm not around when your around
You say that i'm a battering ram
and your a broken door
but i say your the battering ram
and its me that's out the door
i feel like something sticky
that has finally come undone
i've fallen and i've faded
from too long in the sun
So all we gotta do is let our hair down and breath
we can make this easier and it's done
putting two and two together once more
there are times we're both the difficult one's
but i'm around if your around

Everything's so difficult
my oh my
who says life's a piece of cake?
raise your hand
a thousand words or more
proceed to the back of the room
Painted with the broadest strokes
(then) scratch your head
brush hair away from ya face
whoops its a daddy long legs!
i bet now that i've been bitten
anymore predicaments?
raise a few more hands
Why bother with a diet coke
for me a strong black coffee
if i wanted something sweet
is it wrong to turn to you

Could i say the wrong thing any better?
could i lite a fuse that's any shorter?
but i got a vest and i got armour
where's there's fire i cant help but poke around
ashes glow from me and from mine
none of us are good at this above ground shit
so let the day go on
Itty bitty doors lead to big decisions
time will tell with what went well
then another door with a corridor
and a hall that's marked
"it's here you start"
like that you don't slow down but
wish that you'd slow down
Every word that's uttered
can become alive
my tongue has twisted points of view
keeping secrets from each other's such a kick
So many days on a calender
might have a piece of the puzzle missing
just be happy when you can
let time go on ...

Let's Stay Half Hidden

Lets stay half hidden
lets stay in the dark
snigger when the bad men pass
lets stay half hidden
lets stay in the dark
pitch em with our body heat
Let's make friends with the ghosts of the dark
Let us stay hidden
let us own the dark
it's comic but it carries us
only time can carry us
lets not lay a plan
lets not plot a course
but hit em when their most alone
continually half hidden
continue in the dark
never give our selves away
we never gave ourselves away
lets not look at any
bright side of things
let's pitch em with our body heat
Let's cut holes in the dark with our dark

It's any number out of any old hat
assigned a tast and that's that
i'm a spotter for the stone fruit forkie
zip up me jackaroo and start
let's have a nectarine before we start
Like any job gotta start it from scratch
like any job....
8 bay's and 8 unloaded trucks
weather's holding up lets not be slack
let's have some briskness in the menial of tasks
Know what's missing
FM radio and classic rock!
find me a radio
find me a radio and turn that dial!
Here comes the foreman look as busy as you can
here comes the forman
"hey Theo good to see ya here on time

Too much coffee need to take another leak
water the trough and .... ahhhhh

Both Sitting on My Bed

Both Sitting on my bed
your a little sad with what i said
both sitting on my bed
you cried a little but .. i'm sure i cried more than you
both of our faces are red
red the colour of passion or pain but
both of our faces are red
you said dumb things .. but i said more dumb things than you
Techinally weight can weight nothing at all
it takes a few careless words to crush someone
make em feel so small
sometimes hard ain"t hard at all
and i wish i could crawl under a rock

Obscure

Well i'm trying not to be purposely obscure
and i'm trying to make sense then you hit me with more
I loved you a little bit too much
didn't know that i had a heavy touch
didn't realise anything as such
You Know there's a saying that comes to mind
keep one room dark just to sneak around

Are we done .. are we done?
what the fuck should i be thinking
well its right .. to be right
so put the flowers in that bottle
out the vase and in that fucken bottle
Well (strike) never get thorns when that (.....)
hits the vase
what am i thinking right now
next time i'll get daffodils
this one's so tall
what am i thinking right now
Like a can opener
tore a big chunk out of my hand now
half the kitchen's covered in red now
your so sharp .. i'm not so sharp
up to me this wouldn't have happened
wouldn't have happened to happen
(strike) allow me to blink at the cast
lights so bright
what am i'm blinking at now
(right) opened my eyes and now this
kinda like the blues
what am i thinking right now

Dead on my feet i act
hint of a cough attack
now over to you
what would you have me do
waited so i can pretend
be somewhat awake again
awake again
corner of my eye i catch
if you've caught my little act
what would you have me do
Is that really necessary
accusation of contrary
is that really necessary
acting so pointlessassry
holding up your phone
you bare your dark walnutty teeth
all that bile and all that reek
while holding up your phone
Don't like my story much
but how bout my act?
don't like the way i act
at times your hard to like
scathing walnutty bite
that's not the kindest bite
You've got a little opption app
such a little faulty app
stuck on button two
a faulty little app at that
nothing i can say to that
or say to you too

Song for Mum

Lets soften the blow and try to remind us
why your not here
lets open those blinds and let the light in
lets try and be strong and be together
and put her here
PUT HER HERE
i can see the one that gave me all this
she put me here
SHE PUT ME HERE
lets open our hearts and put her inside us
