I heard from my friend in the south
Of Jezebels and Dark Grass-darts
And tigers striped upon the bed
By sunlight come and soon play dead
She teaches me these wondrous things
In letters that the postman brings
And under corrugated skies
Her hair is bright and shields her eyes
From distance between
The things we’ve both seen
Her voice is clear inside my head
And helps me when I’m feeling bad
She tells me of a man she kept
Inside a locket round her neck
Until the day he came to grief
Upon a simple salad leaf
So she replaced him with a guy
As dear to me as windy skies
I sail on a sea
That she builds for me
In kind

The Hedonist

In the whole time wasted of our radical descent
Did you take a look around at all the last minute repent
Their fingernails were dirty but their eyes were shining white
And the feathers in your cap still kept you grounded
You met her in a bar the likes of which you'd never seen
The locks were pulled and inside you lived out a mystery
And no one knows society when they get out at ten
And their faces have the look of being hounded
What's that sound?
Is it labour from above?
They're tryin' to lift the lid
They're tryin' to show you how to love
But you don't need it now it's all come crashing down around
And all you got's relief for being alone
Your spirit's in the attic but your head is resting soft
Upon the girl who once awake will smile and take off
The day unfolds like innocence if innocence is grey
And guilt's a reddy storm upon which innocence will play
The phone call comes in shrilling all the promise of a king
But quickly turns to solid black as cutting off it's ring
You hark to hear the voice of him who joined you on this ride
And now their teeth are bared and white and shining
What's that sound?
Is it labour from above?
They're tryin' to lift the lid
They're tryin' to show you how to love
But you don't need it now it's all come crashing down around
And all you got's relief for being alone
So awkward now you head on back to find the door is closed
And she who gave you shelter for that night has hit the road
And you are all alone, there is no sign of your old mate
And you start to think he wasn't even listening
And as you lie losing your breath down at the bottom of this well
It comes to you that maybe this ain't after all a hell
The leaves are soft and cool to touch, they hold you in their arms
And one last time you see the sky a-glistening
What's that sound?
Is it labour from above?
They're tryin' to lift the lid
They're tryin' to show you how to love
But you don't need it now it's all come crashing down around
And all you got's relief for being alone

How To Change A City
05:54

You're gonna have to walk a little differently down that street
Oh man you'll see some things you might have never seen
Look out the other side of that train you're moving on
Otherwise you're staring at all the places she has gone
When everything reminds you of the impossible you tried
Think about something different, forget about the day she cried
Careful on the stones of your new direction found...
The sympathy of lovers isn’t always real, isn’t always sound
That path that rose to meet two pairs of feet
That bridge across the highway where you meet
Shift these monuments around like sand
The memory is more powerful than the hand
Every angle changes
Every sky is new
How can this be hers
When this is all from you
That star she drew upon your wall is just another star
She’s left those damn things everywhere you know...
You're gonna have to walk a little differently down that street
Oh man you'll see some things you might have never seen
Look out the other side of that train you're moving on
Otherwise you're staring at all the places she has gone
That time you ran the stairs one floor to high
To find you were alone but closer to the sky
Now to wind your way back to the ground
The sympathy of lovers isn’t always real, isn’t always sound
That road it doesn't lead to her, it leads to something past
And anyway it's just a road and these things never last
Tear it up, destroy this place you've built up beam by beam
You'll see when things are built again how easy it all seems
That bus goes to a suburb
Not towards her heart
That light comes from a tower
Not from golden hair
The wind blows same as ever
Now you are apart
And in this city filled with light, still the people stare

The Decision

You said you’d follow anywhere but it was only a one-time deal
How could I infer such things from gestures so unreal
Now you cry rejection by that I didn’t take that chance
But how was I to see that through your impossible dance
And now you tell me not to dwell
So much on times gone past
But how can I avoid it
When this pain is holding fast
You said it was the proper thing
That we went the way we did
But all my doubts are playing out
Now that they're not so well hid
Now the hardness of it is still brightly lit
By the light of one lost day
And the pursuing furies want for fiery dust
And so must I take solace
In the steady path I chose
When once I would have simply sated lust
So for all these things I sit and stare across the foggy way
And though we are divided now I know somehow we will stay
Bound together through the weather cold and dark and clear
And maybe when it warms again we’ll have just disappeared

I'm running so fast but I'm never alone
I want my happy heart alone
I'm running so fast to be on my own
I want my happy heart alone
But you are like pure gold in snow
And that is just too cold

Hey fair and lonely world, where have you been?
To come so mysterious - what lights have you seen?
Hey fair and lonely girl, alight in the blue
Your arms bring me happiness, and bear me anew
Hey fair and lonely world, where have you been?
To come so mysterious - what lights have you seen?
