lyrics

Put pen to paper
Make each other laugh
Put a few aspirations
Into the paragraph
Close out the story
With some words
You’ve been carrying around
In hopes of a second draft

And when they stop you and ask
Did you inspire this
You can say yes and blow them a kiss

Put your hands in the soil
Make new things grow
Give a few moments to
Things that you don’t know
Try to match the colours
Try to please the birds
And carry some seeds
Wherever you go

And when they stop you and ask
Where do you find the time
You can say sorry, gotta go, I’m already behind

It’s funny what we’re afraid of
And what beauty drags us in
It’s neither one or the other
But a unique collection of things

Put yourself in the kitchen
Cook up a storm
You live somewhere between precision
And an abstract form
Whatever reveals itself
Cut it into thirds
Just assume they know by now
That they have been warned

And when they stop you and ask
Why even try
You can say because if you didn’t you’d die

The main thing I love to do is write songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first. ... more
