there's da lying at the end of the street, ribs done broken by that bottle discreet, oh broken da, I wonder where you are.
there's da playing that broken guitar, fog of smoke strumming that guitar.
ohhhhhh hank williams smokin n wine and that cracked guitar.
oh oh oh no sweet wine oh oh oh no sweet wine
raging at the law when Anna got jailed, minor drugs bust, still got jailed
ohhhh you screamed and wailed, you knew a rich man's kid would, never got jailed.
oh oh oh no sweet wine, oh oh oh no sweet wine
there's da cursin the queen on the tv
no ma fkn queen, says he
there's da lying on his dying bed
got the 'tic game score and then... he's dead.
oh oh oh no sweet wine oh oh oh no sweet wine
that father of mine.

Colour my life in those happiness hues
fallout the sketch of my life that was blue
black and grey all fade away, yellows and greens come to stay.
Telephone calls in the heat of the night
render me new in the heat of the night
crackling airways of texts, nobody said middle - sex.
So if you come, if you come will you come here to stay
So if you come, if you come will you never go away
we'll lie in bed with the papers
we'll lie in bed with red wine.
Amsterdam man said I'd no happy songs
I guess he was right, my life sad songs
its easy to write when you're down, self pity is fertile ground.
So if you come, if you come will you come here to stay
So if you come, if you come will you never go away
we'll lie in bed with the papers
we'll lie in bed with red wine.
but stop... no more.

Dance With You

Plain speak plain song its ok, to tell this story any other way
its unnecessary anyway.
Mixed metaphor, a rose is a rose, phatic emphatic stinks my nose
its unnecessary anyway.
I just want to dance with you,
hitch your body close to mine the way that you do.
I just want to dance with you... and love you love you true.
In the empire of signs I'll think of you, in a meta langue I'll see you through
that cotton dress my hair is a mess its true.
Inn the deconstruction of myself, I see your hyperreality self
Guess we'll have to meet real time its true.
I just want to dance with you,
hitch your body close to mine the way that you do.
I just want to dance with you... and love you love you true.
"jaques derrida jaques lacan roland barthes did you ever dance
vladimir props did you ever bop, I'm thinking not, in your life.
All I want to do is,,,,, dance with you.

One Last Waltzing

Photographs they're on fire, can't remember the things that I said or did,
come closer you won't... there's a knife in the wall now and glass on the floor.
And nothing to say works well, surveying the wreckage I wonder aloud
what the fk have I done here... least the blood on the wall it comes off easily.
so where do we go from here when we open the door in the morning
the sky looks bigger somehow... one last waltzing.

I'm curious to ask 'bout your minor depression the boots that you wore as your mark of despair,
could be I've stumbled on some dysfunctional family psycho trait of yours.
I cracked... you're better now.
Family pictures family stories
we exchanged in the sun where we lay,
curiouser curiouser foto's and stories
into your darkness and darkness we lay.
But I cracked...you're better now.
Now you don't have me to blame
but your darkness still remains
an in those photographs
your story there is mapped.
I cracked...you're better now. I cracked...you're better now.

Come rest your head, see I'm not dead.
Its just a wicked rumour, just some girls a wishing.
yes it'll be alright, you know it'll be alright, yes it'll be alright, you know it'll be alright
Don't mind me drinking, its just the way I'm thinking
I don't want to worry you, guess I need the drinking.
yes it'll be alright, you know it'll be alright,yes it'll be alright, you know it'll be alright...........
