Now the sea burns,
Every day, she hears the same words
In streets and houses,
She sees only servants,
Cannot find the people.
Where are they now?

And he denies her mind
Turns to hide,
Behind his own lines
Her shape is on the wall,
Thats all that can remain
Now the grounds been moved away.
Where are they now.

A body full of nerves,
Will not reply,
Is it really hers?
Condition fuelled by
His speech,
His movement,
His lack of time.
Where are they now.

The present has been seen before,
Invaded by
The force of their lies,
She sees the Hyksos
In state, lover and object.
Her work may be safety yet.
They could be all around.

Invisible  Adversaries

Green tea and therapy
As the bullets hit her body,
Talk about anxiety,
It’s all me, me, me.
You need your mindfulness in a minefield.
 
Sourdough bread, civilians dead.
In the kitchen, you sprinkle the rocket,
In a kitchen destroyed by a rocket.
What’s that in your pocket?	
Call of Duty, call of BBC,
So many friends, but no community

There but for the grace of God go I
On this English morning

It was never my plan to be on this planet was never my plan
 
While you’re in your free speech bubble,
There’s children under rubble.
Facebook protest, that’s how much I invest (I’m so stressed).
In the sauna, you sweat out
Colonial hangover.
Torture victims are so pleased
You clicked while they’re on their knees

It Was Never My Plan to Be on This Planet

Nature means nothing to me
 
The air, I like it smoky

Pylons stride across the land 

Carry the load in their hands

There's a chain link fence over there, 

With a pattern that cuts the air

Into diamonds that stop me getting in there
 
And exploring like a little child

I love you and your teeth and knees

Concrete, I walk along the road

And Like my love, it never corrodes

Factory, instead of trees (factrees)

It's boring anything that breathes

There's plastic all over the sand,

Sculpture by public hand
 
In colours that never fade 

Just like my love, it never goes away

I love you and you’re teeth and knees

Teeth And Knees

Written as a requiem originally in 3 movements.

Try (Requiem for Polly)

You’ve got to Tell me now
coz I don’t understand
You see some trans people 
and you get out of hand
Our coloured brothers get 
shot by the cops 
and you don’t say a word
But your nose is out of joint 
when they say their lives matter

So who’s the snowflake here?
Who’s the snowflake here?
Who’s the snowflake here?
Who’s the snowflake here?

You’re Like a little spoilt child 
egotistical fool
You say that you don’t have a voice now 
its got to be all about you
Well what you got to say? 
That you miss having everything your way?
You want the right to discriminate
and act surprised 
when you cannot find no takers

So who’s the snowflake here?
Who’s the snowflake here?
Who’s the snowflake here?
Who’s the snowflake here

Putting kids in cages
And KKK Killers on the streets
You say its not the gun its people
So when you gonna ban the people?
Dont you know they’re not the problem 
No they are the solution

Who's The Snowflake Here?

Walking down the street
Hand in hand
I see the future
Of this happy land

Up in the air
Gleaming in the sun
Watching all the girls go by
Throwing down those things

They’ve built a balcony 
We act upon their stage
The wolf whistles’ silent now
It’s another age

Antlers

Well she’s been sharpening her teeth upon my antlers again,
And her breath, it sounds just like the air conditioning,
Well I was pulling out the chalk from under a tree
for years and years
Hey! Was that a scream from a gull or a girl?
I don’t know …

Oh the wind in the leaves
Could easily be 
supermarket bags in the trees
Will you change my world
Let the mountains die
Sunsets disappear
No the wine doesn’t take us anywhere
Anymore

Then she said did i like the day of the triffids?
And would you like to go to the pub with me?

There’s a butterfly upon your hat, 
And apparently, the world is flat, so that
You can lie upon it reading Vogue,
Yes we were riding on a wheel drinking Pernod.
With your hand in mine,
Our histories entwined.
But still I don’t know.

And then she said would I like to drink some whisky?
And go for a walk in the wind and rain with me?

Antlers

I’m going back to
The day I was born
Getting younger everyday
I can read the future 
From history
Yes I’m going back to find 
What you did to me.

I’m Turning back 
The hands that were never held
You gotta let them see your face
People always saying 
‘You look so young’
But I’m just going back to find
What went wrong.

The tears fall
You sent him away
He’s just a young boy 
With nothing to say.

Im going back in my Delorean
I will get them to apologise (and then what?)
Yes Im going back to find
There was nothing
I could say or do
I’m going forward now!

Back to the future
Was it you or me?

Back To The Future

Water

Tell of a story of creature   that gets what it wants
wants what it sees   and lives beyond its means

what of this creature that says what its says as a dream
what of this creature that lies    about    all that it means

(will never be   will never be    will never be      free)

divides all the sins and hatred    be ready at hand
crave’s out your heart and cast shadows across the land 

>>> Awake Fallen idols!
>>> Forsake - the son of man
>>> Awake Fallen idols!
>>> Forsake - the son of man

what of this creature that cries alone in the night
this creature aims its hate through gun and its sight
builds in a bubble and      fires the forests    for gain

chokes up the sea and lays waste to the fertile plains
what of this creature that plays with the history of time
what of this creature that kills all that it sees

>>> Awake Fallen idols!
>>> Forsake - the son of man

Being in the mo,
I'm not in the mo now,
But I might be in it later!
