And Morley
02:07

And Morley looked down
On a valley of stone men
Wealthy conquered
Rebuilding now
Not heights
But warm fragility
Old father Thames
Old lessons shared
Who’s statue remains
In the corner of our route
Pioneers, from spotlights to traffic islands
Library doors, student glass
Daffodils at Morley’s feet

Ruins
02:48

ruins in the rain
that some old ancestor built
keeping your heart open
is deceptively difficult
continuing your superstitious
walk around the block
do you think you will improve?
does it matter if you cannot?
feeling like a failure
what's failure anyway?
no more chores
orange light
walking to town
shaped to suit our world
what do we look like
on the inside?
on the deep inside?
shaped to suit that world
that common invisible world
i learn nothing
i grow backwards

Invader!
02:39
|

|
Pull up bundles of
Broken sage and curry plant
The smell lingers as the invader invades
Our home haven
An open door
Dog police
Defend with foolish object
As the invader invades
Our home haven

Keeping me up
03:14
|
|||
|
in a house you cannot leave
in your house you cannot move
keeping me up at night
lights on over the cooker
washing vegetables in soapy water
this is every day
this is not a special occasion
keeping me up at night
sunlight knocks at my door
afraid to let it in
healthy people on the tv
people meeting out in the street
when will i see you again?
exercise and vitamins
burn off in summer
did you have enough oranges?
keeping me up at night

Footprint pictures

Up on the tops
Sky turned orange
Snow promised
Leave the city
Leave completely
You can draw a picture from the water from our footprints
Sugar burnt underpass
Berlin Wall in the fragment park
You can draw a picture from...

Economics
01:29
|
|||
|
i don't care what you think
or i wish i din't care
i'm shaped by outer space
and particles in the air
a house above the clouds
a bed beneath the eaves
night trains shake your possessions
rocking you to sleep
it's easy to trick yourself
it's easy not to feel
it's easier not to exist
than to be really real
my phone comes back to life
and i send you a reply
by the flickering firelight
the forest heaves a sigh
pulled by the planets
pulled by the tides
the economics
leave me behind
