Askew

Even though it seemed that I'd picked her up
She put me on her list of just another beat up storey
And even though I said no too an affair
I wasn't really thinking that at all
Driving around in her old French car
Longing to belong to the chosen crowd
Staring in my talent of bluff show
Blinkered as hell and ready to go
The night wore on and it was really something
As I starred into her big brown eyes
And complimented her far to early
She forced a smile
Having heard every line a thousand times
All I could think of was glory
We trundled into the dimly lit club
That was full of statue like lonely wolves
Lining the edge of the dance floor
With their bulging eyes and razor tongues
Their aching torsos swelling up
Dancing under big glass balls
Mixing up the alcohol
Fooling around
Pruning
Choosing
Counting
Invading
Waiting
Impregnating
Having fun
Voyeurs at large
Desire and lust
As we spoke I heard nothing
My mind was askew
Only a long empty note
Sounding the capture call
So she left with a poor excuse
As he waited out of view
Guess it was just the male gaze
That's all I ever knew

17 Lives

17 lives I got over a line
17 eyes can you follow my line
Make hi 5 for the bottle
At your side
I am into the signs that come deep from fire
Help me make me love
Into the thoughts all so naked today
Can't feel it that way
Stirred
Dreamt of wings and a fur like skin
So hunting time it can begin
Make high 5 for the bottle
At your side
I don't need to walk you home
In the evening time
I don't need to understand you
Or let go
Or let go
I can smell them all so wash and scrubbed
With their bellies full
with their bellies full
Feels so good when the sun comes out to warm
My skin
My skin
my skin
Mother nature went away
To the other side
And all notions to the key of all emotions
She hide

Compare & be Free
02:32

As I turned the old rusty tap
Hearing its screeching
I could almost feel a quiescent like essence
That was hovering freely above
The fleeting past
I can't save today
Or any day
It's winding it's winding itself away
Forever sanguine
Sallying on down
To somewhere larger
Than life itself
The more I yearn to capture it
Adorn it
Wrap it
Stop it
The more I see the beating machine
With its tick-tock feats
Information elites
Its summons of no repent
Billboard banality of shiny
Impostor
Inane catch-phrases
Compare and be free
Then go depart capricious one
You lay to dormant
Not striving
Clinging
Needy
Too grey in tinsel our town
And poor in status

Enigma
05:20

Sorting him out in the dead of the night
in the palm of his hand
In shadows of dark alpha play masquerade
Borrowed a mask and jewels from the past
with a thick face
His hazel green eyes framed by thick lines
Chose how to gaze
He got what it takes and took what he could
He took what he got and got what he took
A denizen of the mystic in drag
Taking his hand he did lay down some facts
You're
trapped in a body of a hooligan
But an artist man
Swayed and obeyed terribly vague
Swayed and obeyed terribly vague
Enigma man he took his chance
Enigma man you got your last dance
He’s informed by his way and not by hearsay
and views of the ones
Who never say boo
And fall on their arse
in the god-ridden past
You're all so sentimental
You're all so sentimental
You are
He's half like a man
Half like a witch
Half like a stranger
Groomed for a heightened
Sense of course
Pin upt and clear
And he talks up his face
cheers when he makes
This sage in a cage
He got what it takes and took what he could
He took what he got and got what he took
A denizen of the mystic in drag
He wore it well
Handbags and gladrags
Enigma man he took his chance
Enigma man you got your last dance
Swayed and obeyed terribly vague
Swayed and obeyed terribly vague
You're all so sentimental

We Came From The stars
02:26
|

Are we spiteful are we vain
Or never really thought that way
Are we taken are loved
Making out we're not alone
We might be fragile some of the time
Or and indestructible kind
Never wanting to speak your mind
Call it what
You like
Mesmerise born to do
Or hide behind a trauma or two
Making it up as you go along
Then realising so does everyone
Pencil it in for another day
Or get some sleep or take a break
Save the planet by flying to Mars
It's all the same we came from the stars.

Dead leaves not wanting yesterdays meanings
Pathways
Illusions
Nostalgia
Only destined to live and die
No meaning to closure
Struggle invents random help
Hapless in grandeur
Chanced glitches occupying control
Clever in diligence
Recognised
Salvation deemed brings the preacher man
By chance
As guilt surrounds absured and profound
To the folly of the falling fools
In niceness aloud
Happiness hitting faces
It's not about to be obvious

Albert's Song
04:10

Get scared it will do you good and smoke
And write
Beat your head against some walls refuse
Refuse to see people
Refuse to see people
Allow your mind
To do
I don't care what you do
Stay scared
Function
I don't care what you do
But stay as scared as hell
You're never be able to experience
Everything
Experience everything
Get scared it will do you good and smoke
Stare blankly at some ceilings
Beat your head against some walls refuse
Refuse to see people
To see people
He had been bored that's
All bored like most people
Hence he had made himself
Out of whole cloth
A life full of complications
A life full of complications
A life full of complications
A life full of complications
Something must happen and that explains
Something must happen and that explains
Drama in your
Something must happen and that explains
Drama in your
Something must happen and that explains
Drama in your
Drama in your
Life
Most humans
Commitments
Something must happen
Even
Loveless slavery
Even war or death hurrah
Even war or death hurrah
Then for funerals
Then for funerals
Poetical justice
Experience yourself
I don't care what you do but stay
As scared as hell
Experience yourself
I don't care what you do but stay
As scared as hell
Experience yourself

Take care you don't push me and yourself
over the edge
As you're scrolling down enough to read
Just about what every idiot says
Tell me about your deep and meaningful
Understanding of it all
I'm intrigued
About how it never really happened
Never really happened at all
I felt like a catalyst for a bit of that break through
But then it got unpleasant for me
When you questioned the staring truth
We all can keep our points of view
I'm not one to judge
If you don't believe
Me you don't believe much
I felt like a catalyst for a bit of that break through
But then it got unpleasant for me
When you questioned the staring truth
We all can keep our points of view 'I'm not one to judge
If you don't believe me
you don't believe much
You shaved all your hair off and marched along with em
It's funny that happened on the same day
As you showed me a book about Neanderthals
You should have seen us on youtube
Us shouting and kicking aloud
It never really happened
It wasn't really allowed
You said don't take things so seriously and lighten up
I think to much with all my psycho books stuff
Its not about the facts
'Cause you cant prove them
Go rest your case
'Cause it never really happened
Never really happened at all
I wont go on to much to muck out all your dodgy theories
Social intelligence is not your thing
You have other qualities
At the end of the day its a game of two halves
It's about keeping control
And that's sort of alright
And it never really happened
It never really happened at all

Deft in Gloria Headlines
03:17

A fixed batch of assorted folk
Come fleeting in the midst of the sum
Some stay some leave
As the going gets tough
Time ticks and we're stunned into a mess and it's randomness
Ultimately fitting then falling surprised
In pursuing establishment
It's full of security
It's full of security
Going aground and copying reacting to reactions
Something we couldn't control
Something we couldn't control
Threadbare home issues pulled taught and stretched
For our god made simple a smear of faith
One flag is not enough
Then claim partial withdrawal
To a twilight made simple
To a twilight made simple
And all leaders in the game
We pick 'cause we feel the same
Their unstoppable Likeness
The external in their eyes
That is optimised
Filled sacks of new values
Rant then crave congenial meanings
And exact incursions
So deft in glories headlines
Transitioning to glitter
Made tingly
Thrusting
Claiming
So deft in glories headlines
Quality is the official behind the wall
Dominate
That's what he'll do
And love seeps through
Love seeps through

Born out of wisdom
Slummed in the shadows
Squalor lived on
A roller coaster
Raised by the belt in joyless sorrow
Learnt by himself
There was no act to follow
To work culprit condemned
Those of towns and fields
Go make the steal
cut at the face
know your face
You made the blades
So now go plunge them
Grey clouds on the horizon drew in
And the bugle sounds the call
For bonafide patriots-the papers headlines
Glory for all
Go parade in scarlet fever
Through the streets in pomp and valour
Go to war you might as well
There’s nothing left to fight here for
Fear not young ones
Preached the man in black
Brave hearts can always meet their maker
That's a fact
He likes the sons that fight others battles
And it's never a disgrace to die in hast
And with youthful hands you're be remembered
Ragged trouser brigade
So out of the smog filled streets
Stepped a young man
Who said he' d keep his head down
An exotic war he'd rather fight
It-ment a go away
Not a prison stay
He wasn’t brave he wasn’t strong
Didn’t know what the fighting was for
But had a quick mind
A savvy one
He would never lift a gun
They left Southampton for the fields
That you could never have dreamt of
But the winds of glory quickly paled
As slaughtered lambs
Sailed back through the fog
Fresh off the boat hoarded like cattle
Into the bullring they did go
They got the shit scared out of them
Unlawful mental abuse unlawful mental abuse
Unlawful mental abuse unlawful mental abuse
They kept their lines did the best
With Blanket cover human flesh
Over the top
An ordained suicide
Over to the other side
And mercy went and hid all day
Was never there
For the ones that slipped away
And all for one and one for all
Became an inevitable
None at all
And thousands fell like sitting ducks
A stale mate stuck in blood stained mud
And a private who saw the madness unfold
Devised a plan tall and bold
He called upon a mutiny
To end the fruitless pain
He said our rivals over no-mans land
Were hyped up foe
It's all insane
Word got out and news spread fast
And Parades were suspended in hast
And local towns were taken over
By so called rebels who'd lost faith
And 20,000 escaped to the forest
A sanctuary
Men from both sides living in harmony
They lived in hollows on their wits
With berries and hope
Not hero's
The ruling classes promised much
An amnesty was spoken of
The tricked worked well
Rebels downed their arms
But no one lived past the firing squad
The search was on for the degenerate one
The corporal in wolves clothes
Who changed his name a treason act
Became the most wanted man
Nowhere to turn but to run
Now Percy Topless was hunted down
From high to low from north to south
And finally killed without trial by an illegal shot
Percy's storey will live on
So men in the corridors of power
Denied all happened and wiped the records clean
You can blurt out history all you like
That's how the state works this machine
