The tide is high on Island Street
I'm marooned in my home
My warning fire my
Telephone
Waiting in my hand
There was an elephant in the room
But I didn't think his tusks were worth much
Guess I tried to ignore
Couldn't try, hard enough
Now that zoo's closed down
Look at where we find ourselves today
Nothing, except everything
Ever changes
And running back into you
I know tomorrow, will come far too soon
Your eyes are changing colour again
Just like last time
"So just save it for tomorrow, son"
I hear the people say
But I'm afraid I just can't settle
For the way
Things are today
I know it was only last week
And I'm sorry to be so blunt
I hate this town it's full of cunts
And a cynicism
I'd never hear from you
Look at where we find ourselves today
Nothing, except everything
Ever changes
And running back into you
I know tomorrow, will come far too soon
Your eyes are changing colour again
Just like last time
Had enough of this town, last time
Had enough of this town, last time
Had enough of this town, last time
Had enough of this town, last time

Requiem

Emily Jane lays lipstick stains on her face
As she closes her eyes one last time
Because when they found her the world swam around her
And fathers will murder their sons
As you search through your wardrobe
You search for your soul
As you search through your wallets
As it finally takes hold
We were all, taken so young
Dragged away from our homes
A prostituted reminder of the light that blinds her
That takes, the children away
Your Sunday best, rope round your neck
With half of your body on show
Your mother's tears, have nowhere near
The flavour, of years ago

Catherine Wheel

Do you sit and think like I do?
Do you sit and wonder why?
You always say that I should be sober
But always seem to spend more time
On the low than the high
Says "you keep on moving"
But I'm already bored of this town
But I always know where you are
Like a catherine wheel you're spinning round and round
Another streetside romance
walks past my bus window
And there's still that glint in their eyes
There's still that glint cause they don't know
Because they don't they are lucky
Because what they don't know can't hurt them
And I'd rather be fag-stained and 40
Than know the future for certain
So keep your eyes shut
Oh make your mind up
You supposedly can only make the same mistake twice but
Round and round and round again
You know there's more to the world than me

Omnibus

The writing, if you're looking
Is on the wall
I guess I walked straight past a few times before
It's good to see you
Even if I don't smile
You've been waiting?
I've been waiting
Quite a while
When I've finished deciding
I'm no longer fighting
That waking up to something new inside was just you breezing after all
It's not so exciting
When I know, you're reciting
But you
You just love an omnibus
Can't put my finger
Quite on when the release is
But then you're back, so you say
To pick up the pieces
But I'm not that weak willed anymore
I'm gonna show you
Wish I could show you
The door
When I've finished deciding
I'm no longer fighting
That waking up to something new inside was just you breezing after all
It's not so exciting
When I know, you're reciting
But you
You just love an omnibus
So don't you give me that face
I know good things only come to those who take
And I'm certainly not one of those
Yet here I am just expecting you to know
When I've finished deciding
I'm no longer fighting
That waking up to something new inside was just you breezing after all
It's not so exciting
When I know, you're reciting
But you
You just love an omnibus

Smile

Another afternoon rises
Have you lost count of the months?
I know for certain I have
Enjoying this freedom
And everyone is so concerned
'Til you feed them all a lie
'Cause it's just too fucking easy
When you're that way inclined
And I don't have to justify
It's a Wednesday, after all
Diving into Friday
Or as some might say "fall"
And now the only photos I smile in
Are taken when I'm drunk
And these days one night too many
Is never enough
So where would we be last year?
I'm sure you'll tell me enough
Such an angry cup of coffee
And something, some might call love
And you wake up so healthy
Not sure, which need to engage
Smile but I want it
I want it, again
So tell me, who would blame me?
If maybe I ran away
The sea is empty
Round here anyway
