she’s nowhere to roost
though friends clamour near
but love ain’t got nothin’ on fear

bumps and bruises fade away
blessing lessons always stay

now deeds I do can really screw

I think I know which way to go
though there are snakes and ladders
so pray the dice will be quite nice
though it’s not six that matters

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
