lyrics

You gotta keep warm and be kind
was a lawyer now a shoeshine
living in a foreign land
playing in a rubber band
I'm holding court and avoiding the fine
give the cannibals a piece of my mind
never clean and never tanned
gotta get myself a hat stand

it is limitless to limit us
pull the reigns and drag the bus
spelling mistakes fill the air
they are writhing on the walls out there
I needing space and time to adjust
it's all so small for such a fuss
the only light from a dying flare
moving men forgot to handle with care

can't get used
to your suits
can't get high
on your lie
I keep it down
around town
can't take
your poison cake
can't get by
on a sigh
do you hear the sound?
they're selling my flesh by the pound

the corner store's an empty box
a new landlord but the same old locks
this still feels like the place to be
comfort in the surrounding sea
please keep my boat from off the rocks
hold your horses and stop the clocks
someone could drown in this debris
I should like to give the world a cup of tea

can't get used
to the sound of boots
I'd rather die than
convince you to buy
I'll take a step back
from the widening crack
can't sign
on your line
can't fly
and can't be bothered to try
there's no more slack
on this rack

Songwriting and banging your instruments together

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
