Arabica
When the light of all experience
Throws shadows on the wall
And the physical expedition runs aground again
And best of all my Turkish garden borders on the sea
I'm killing time to walk in circles and risk uncertainty
And the sound of burned up riverbeds
Echoes down the hall
While the jesus boys in danger run away again
And as this blazing sun begins to blind me in my sleep
A sudden flash of inspiration drags me screaming to my feet
Relics on the table
And letters on the floor
A broken band of perfect madmen
Diagnose your problems like before

How On Earth?

HOW ON EARTH?
How on earth can I explain
The moments of you that remain
Inside of me?
For years they lay quite undisturbed
Waiting for the perfect word
To say to me
And still I'm amazed to realise these years
That we've spent apart have disappeared
And all it took to start this blaze
A photograph - a moment saved
To look at you
And I can still remember this
We shared our dreams
And yet we just
Forgot to be
And still I'm amazed to realise these years
That we've spent apart have disappeared
Yes still I'm amazed to realise these years
That we've spent apart have disappeared

A MUTUAL SILENCE
Well lesson number one
is followed by
Indecision
A mark of my imprecision
And lesson number two
This incendiary device I give to you
The lesson that we're learning from this zone
It's all I have to realise that
So many days are lost in
Mutual silence of the most unfriendly kind
Unkindly
Untimely way to pass the time of day
Who can do pain better than you?
It's like a wreck of art
And where does the landscape end?
Oh tell me now
Well here's another moment from your past
And I'm haunted by the fact
That the last thing on my mind was retribution
Well here's another kick in the face for reason
Or you'll never understand
Without your love
I'm nothing
And here's another word in your ear for freedom
It's not all it's meant to be
So many days are lost in
Mutual silence of the most unfriendly kind
Unkindly
Untimely way to pass the time of day
Who can do pain better than you?
It's like a wreck of art
And where does the landscape end
And life begin?
And when does the real world
Play a part in being true
And when does the silence end?
Oh tell me now

WALLS
How shall I find you?
In a sea of changing faces
Can we avoid
making the same mistake?
Who put so many years
between us
Where shall we meet?
Somewhere south of past and future
Shall we be wise?
Or drown in a sea of love
Who put so many loves
between us
Who put so many years
between us

BED OF NAILS
There's no point in thinking someone's to blame
I see the faces and I start to complain
They ask me questions I say you're just insane
I write a letter to my local complaint DJ
I ask you questions, you say nothing at all
enough kerblazzers to fill up in the hall
There's no sense in acting forty feet tall
Easy to recognise they're already falling down
Yeah down
I might as well end the day
I may as well in the same way save my soul
No second chances when you play in the rain
You're sick and tired your eyes are burning with pain
Tears come out of the water time and time and again
I ask you something you say nothing has changed my way
I won't be round
I must have made a mistake
I must admit I can make my bed of nails
Bed of nails
I must have made a mistake don't say it
I must admit I can make my bed of nails
Bed of nails
Bed of nails
