Been climbing trees I’ve skinned my knees My hands are black the sun is going down She scruffs my hair in the kitchen steam She’s listening to the dream I weaved today Crosswords through the bathroom door While someone sings the theme-tune to the news And my sister buzzes through the room leaving perfume in […]
Can’t Stop - Asleep in the Back
Can’t stop thinking I won’t stop drinking I need that comfort I don’t need discipline Twilights tailing I had self belief (They don’t compromise) This has battered me That’s my history Hold this shaking frame Pull this back together What’s your story? I want to listen. I can’t fake pity. I may not sympathize Twilights […]
Found a hole and slipped on through Kissed the stone and learnt the lines Jumped the cue all the time forgetting you Best dishevelled lover 3yrs running Coming second to A picket fence white 9-5 whos Just alive Beyond repair, there is nothing to say Save some fading regrets Yet I can’t be without this […]
My brother fear is only natural You need to chill your fucking bones You will feel Christ-like When it’s breathing in and out Right there on the pillow

You’re a girl in this vicinity I’m a dog without a collar on This cattle-market cabaret Is the Sabbath every Saturday I’m full of wit and chivalry Until you’ve given in to me I’m a dog without a collar on You’re a girl in this vicinity Bitten by the tail-fly Too many times to change […]
Your eyes are just like black spiders Your hair and dress in ribbons. Babycakes In despair or incoherent. Nothing in between China white, my bride tonight Smiling on the tiles Bring that minute back We never get so close as when the sunward flight begins I share it all with you Powder blue Stumble through […]
The whole towns slippin down a hill. Like the spine of something dead. Slide in shadow cobble-creep. Burn your mark and leave. The trench conventions yellow eyes Follow her the local flower The girls a priest (to me at least) Since baptism peroxide. And fear is not respect. Correct. But it’s the best you’re gonna […]
