It may come in the middle of the night
Dream the sky, the morning will be bright
You may find, all you thought you’d left behind
Catching the light between the galaxies that bind
Kick off your shoes, there’s no gravity inside time
Sing your song, there is beauty in the rhyme
No-one left behind to sing your song in downtown bars
There are no Kings, there are no Kings among the stars
Only love, only love among the stars
No Kings, only love, only love among the stars

The Isle Of Bob
04:46

She took a fast boat out on a slow day
Hocked nine loogies into the bay
Tried to fish and caught two eels
Fell asleep behind the wheel
The ship zoomed out into the fog
To the Isle of Bob
To the Isle of Bob
Her dream was interrupted when
The shore bit into the bow and then
It threw her like a psychotropic drug
She took a bag with a change of clothes
Watched the boat in grim repose
And sat herself right down upon a log
In the Isle of Bob
It's been 30 years since that fateful night
Her piss turned dark, her hair turned white
She preys upon the seagulls and the squabs
She's naked and alert to me
She knows my name and everything
She showers me with kisses like a flood
On the Isle of Bob
The Isle of Bob
The Isle of Bob

Wild Mountains Blue

Comes a time, the end of years
Don’t you fear, don’t you ever fear
It’s only time, the time that’s gone
To sing forever the forever song
There is no dark, and no velvet black
No turning around the broken tide
And you might die a little bit inside
To see the moon turning back
There’s a pain you cannot feel
But still, still it must be real
There’s blood in the swimming pool
You say it never happened
You feel such a fool, such a fool
You thought this day would never come
But here it is, and there she goes
Everybody knows, everybody knows
You are sinking with the sun
Wild mountains blue
Wild mountains blue
Where all of time runs free
Where always will be
For you, for you, for you, for you

The idiot talks out of his brilliant mind
He doesn't have friends because he leaves them all behind
He whines and he moans
Complains and never attends
To the meaning of the moment
Oh no no no!
The lion surfs among the stars
Crashing parties, getting flung out of bars
And he sharpens his claws
Never leaving his cage
He doesn't engage
He doesn't engage
"Ho ho, it's a bit of a shame
You can't grow up
And learn to play this game
Go chase your stupid dream
You're just a child"
The candle-maker draws the moth to the flame
He doesn't really know his mind, or his name
But he still carries on with the flame until dawn
And his mind is gone
His mind is gone

Hunting with a tear in my eye
The psychopaths cry
The psychopaths cry
The world is getting hotter
But I can't be bothered
To die
Die
Please never say that I did it my way
Without due regard to the consequences
I thought it through
How about you?
Did you spend your life building miles
And miles
And miles
And miles
And miles
And miles
Of fences?
The wild prairie dogs are gone
No-one sings that song
The moon is a silent messenger for everyone
Friends gather 'round the fire
The stars above these guns for hire
The night comes around
We sleep on the ground
We go hunting with tears in our eyes
The psychopath cries
The psychopath cries
The world is getting taller
But I could not be smaller
So why don't I start building fences
Like you?

Time Travellers Missing
03:26
|
|||
|
So much we've lost
Ought to be found
We know to our cost
We've covered that ground
The words just don't Linger
In the mind of a sinner
Battle still rages
There's never a winner
We peeled away layers
Said all our prayers
Was anyone listening?
Time travellers missing
Where do we go when they put us to sleep
Under the knife and then back from the deep
A new world is coming
If you don't think so
Just wait and see and remember
I told you so
Everything you are
Lost in the infinite light
Of love
Where you wait your turn
To come back again

Bane Of Twilight
05:43
|
|||
|
You covered ground with your head down
The dark shone bright in your half-life
Now it's another round, and the silence is profound
The day leaks joy which is not yours to deploy
Not yours to deploy
Sleep my only angel
The bane of twilight's calling
Life and this triangle
Deserve no words at all
A vindictive grin can pierce your silken skin
Your own soft voice laments this lack of choice
Now it's evening, and the pale moon is breathing
The pale moon is seething
The pale moon is bleeding
The forgotten bride of a promise made inside
A promise made inside
Sleep my only angel
The bane of twilight's calling
Life and this triangle
Deserve no words at all
You look around with your heart down
This mortal coil is a black and viscous oil
Still, in the streets, a dozen footfalls playing
And for what they've found you'd give up all this ground
You'd give up all this ground
Sleep my only angel
The bane of twilight's calling
Life and this triangle
Deserve no words at all
Sleep my only angel
Sleep my lonely angel
Sleep, our only angel
The bane of twilight's calling
Sleep our only angel

Amy And Her Sister
03:21
|
|||
|
Amy, I don't know
How your mind can grow
If your heart is slow
Doesn't flow with love
Sometimes
The trick of knowing
Is showing how you can
Say goodbye
And in letting go
But Amy,
What do I know?
Amy, what your sister did
Just another kid
Who moved too fast for the curve
Now you observe
How love don't always serve
We are immortalised
In someone else's eyes

Two Lonely Seasons
03:01

Two lonely seasons, so filled with drought
The dingoes fight for cattle bones the sullen moon has shown
The water, like love, runs out
Two lovers came here but only one got out alive
They spiral into nothing and wonder why they're falling
Their props, like divers, dive
Two hearts abandoned out in the harvest rain
The monsoon season sets in. They won't see home again
They cling to nothing but pain
Two lovers came here but only one got out alive
The shipwreck of their union was more than they could live in
Their hopes, like rainbows, hide
Two lonely seasons, so filled with sudden drought
The dingoes fight for cattle bones the sullen moon has shown
The water, like love, runs out

It's All Around You
03:14

I heard the news from Mars
Used the fuel of a billion fast cars
And all that's there is broken sand and fractured air
And a tiny scum of life
Under the surface it was hiding
So, come on home
Why don't you come on home?
The thing you're looking for is here
It's all around you
Your can hold it in your hand
You can breathe in it and think of it
And eat of it and sleep with it
You can love it to death
I heard the news from your broken heart
I can sing your song again from the start
Do you think it would help if the stars came down
And the moon hit the ground?

My heart will always be down by the sea
Songs will echo with the tide
All my friends will be there
Beside me
I couldn't make it on my own
Still I ended up alone
I dove too deep
The moon will catch my mind
In the end I know I'll find
The perfect wave
A perfect day
The tide will take me

Peri Urban UK
Like all musicians I wished I had the same number of limbs as an octopus. My wish was granted, but not in the way I had hoped for. My cephalopod partner is an enthusiastic volunteer from the worldwide animal charity Save Humans From Themselves. We share a special kind of love. ... more
