Passing Through
passing through the station
I saw things made you cry
no luggage on no carousel
‘til it showed up in your eyes
passing through the station
I saw things made you cry
no luggage on no carousel
‘til it showed up in your eyes
when she had found some calm
she said she would return
but she did not return
maybe in sickness they’d get a guitar
and tell me to wish upon stars
don’t get out of bed
don’t bother your head
there's a boy at the lost and found
wandering round
he cussed the man he looked up to
there's a boy at the lost and found
this world will not come to your doorstep
the world will not bow down before you
the world is just there
and it mostly don’t care
in these skewed and twisted times
in this world we build on stilts
stilted me seeks perfect you
fair notion in my head
The Soldier Addresses the King
O King, take heed, take heed
My people, let them be
Cast anchor from our shores
don’t build me a road
to walk where you lead
don’t offer salvation
that first makes me bleed
as I dream of Eden scenes
and wake with unseen bounty
Spirit’s calling me
to raise these un-cogged bones
There once was a barman called Duggan
Who was always afraid of a muggin’
He was so paranoid
About tough lookin’ boys
