Children

They woke at dawn wide eyed and speechless

The distant cat calls were diregarded

Such haste and such pitiful waste

Step up, bow, take the reward and applause

Killer Queen

You won't let those robots eat me?

Straplines

Medusa is in here, Medusa is in here

You know her name

She is in here



I am the library book repairer, touch my face

We've got a war to fight

Trip Hop Duets

Befriended

Relinquished dreams, southern state cremation

Polish away the layers, remain determined

Rainbow shine, scratched sleeve notes

Bold as brass, cold as steel, pickled

Double Decker

That tiniest of spaces, that wandering fool

The voidable delusional bliss state, memory evokes passion

Momentum, forward thrust, ejector seat rush

Reach for the stars, find the grass

Carpet burnt, scalped and groped

Majestic revision flower, the endless lime

Grip hook, graphic, cranial bleed

The air in here is dead.......

Is it Broken........?

Crisp packet crumpled, sticking plaster hypnotism

We are repaired with super glue and magic dust

The miracle cure was a poisoned chalice

Great minds, wired plugs, earthbound

Billy, I knew you were telling the truth



It's all in the lies, don't you know

Better not

The Shadow of Our Bones

The promenade queen was a junkie after all

The sprained wrist, shuffled the pack

Amusement arcade odour, balloon shooter

Clinical compression unit, staple gun armour

Sock holes, tent poles, deep defender

It would be the seven of us again, happiness
