It starts with an echo
A meditation in time
Slowly it awakens
Tolerate the shifting line
While the wind is cool and the water is warm
Sit here contemplating
A pen in my hand
Not in the streets protesting
A slave to no-ones command.
Readjust the measures, so no-one is alarmed
Advancement for our pleasure, keeps us all calm
Each breath a little shorter in the footsteps of change
There’ll be no morning after, a long sequence of days
With no idea from where it came
If this were a fiction it’s here I’d tell
The colour of their eyes, of their hair as well
Still I drive to work, when I know there are trains,
Do you feel the autumn heat? Do you feel that it’s strange?
Pay an extra dollar, the echo will remain...

Tried to be kinder, kept my room intact
Between desire and the hour that won’t come back
And a stripped light sounds forever, in the slow eddies of time
While the renovations stop in the weather, heart to heart in hand
Come on by (if you get it together, if you get it together)
Come on by (forget it forget i, forget it, forget it)
Sleep behind the fences piles of aluminium,
I watch the scene it plays out twice, alone and wasted in the sun
And a small memory by chance, that you know won’t satisfy
Til we hold the morning light in our hands let the love that loves to love
Come on by (if you get it together, if you get it together)
Come on by (forget it forget i, forget it, forget it)

Between the Hemispheres

I smiled dreams they run away away
Hot air floats I’m in a steady state
Laced my words with a new found tact
We all felt quite the same way infact
Put my 2 cents between (so I go down on one knee)
I question the deliverance machine
The players kneel they’re thankful for what they’ve got
Don’t start me talking or I’ll never stop
All the ways that you could do better
And how you don’t want to upset her
All this will pass
Just as it should
Though it’s not bad
It won’t do much good
So down with the system and all of that
Spun myself into a web of caveats
I get so lonely when I start to think
She smiled at me I never took the hint
Split my time between the hemispheres
Both dirty, out of date and never here
And I know exactly what not to say
Don’t doubt it, I’m all about it babe
I love to talk about the coming weather,
And all the ways we could live better
All this will pass
Just as it should
Though it’s not bad
It won’t do much good

Saw it in the distance
See it yourself
Plain and simple
There’s nothing else coming there’s no help
So it comes, it’s so much easier now
Now that you’ve seen it for yourself
Now that you have no doubt
And I want you to tell and I want you to say
Can you measure the forgiveness and I don’t get my
And I don’t think time will tell
So comes again, are you sure? You have nothing else
Wasn’t it hard, wasn’t it as simple, wasn’t there anybody else that could break the cycle
And I don’t think time will tell

Control rewind, body is a mess
I’m attracted to all the emptiness
Fragments set into a page, the brain wants to talk, the mind wants to stay
So embrace, the collections the corrections the inner beauty of this new estate
Ambition
A softer touch
Are you tired, are you tired enough
Cold cold music, in the prime of your life
You can get what you want but you just might need some advice
Confined to stand on my feet
They’ds say hello to the dog and not to me
It’s a comedy, it’s a loving embrace
It’s the things out on the street as the night starts to break
It’s the cold cold music, in the prime of your life
You can get what you want, but you just might need some advice,
The carnival is over, all the people all the tears they run away
You can get what you want but it just might all be a waste

New Way In

Oh new horizons hold me back til I am where I belong
Tried working on weekdays, spare me the chance to learn how I’ve grown
Every muscle was shaking, stripped down, there’s not way out it’s just a new way in
Thoughts, these thoughts entwining, sometimes I feel the riches trickling down from above
Hesitation, in time, borne out of all the things you thought you know,
Every affirmation, blends in, I die on the love I can’t own
Come in on a wednesday, she cries - there’s no way out so come on in
Board up the house, we can begin, don’t mistake
I wouldn’t win, Soft soft rain collapsing
Loose change, in my hand
Plastic coffee tokens and the time you owe
Every muscle that I own
Routine
There’s no way out but we’ll try
Find a way home

Into My Bones

Emily calls me at night, tells me just as she should
Take it from me porcelain doll, you’d better go get a look
Good morning to ya
The cities wave as they go
You’ve got a new haircut and a few quick bucks that might get you along
No hesitation could break the smile if you know then you know and you know you can
Cut it out into the masses
Into my bones
Like the feeling that you’re not just alone
Emily calls me at night, tells me I’m on my own
I read lips for pleasure in a language that I do not know
Take it from me porcelain doll a chance to find out again
The curtain raiser to your life at home is hanging far away
The same thoughts cannot be distinguished from the ache inside my bones
Old man I just don’t know, if I could do it again
Could do it again…

When the places come and go as they please
People talk and put themselves at ease
Here no-one would know your name
Looks so nervous as he turns away
From this day let it pass
Let it linger, it won’t last
If I were me and you were you, I’d just let it all continue
Because it takes much more than a passing whim
To find somewhere to settle in
You’ve got nothing to
Change into
You don’t want to stop so continue
Change your taste while you still can
Are you alone, what are you thinking?
And it takes a moment to decide, if what you want is worth your while
So you find someone to take control
With your head dropped down you can let it roll
If what you say three times is true
Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the view
There are no parked cars in the streets of your desire
There are no parked cars in the streets of your desire
If they’re here it must be worth their while
And it takes a moment to decide
