Silhouette

What if we both went far far away?
Found that place we use to stay
Let the lack of passion play
We tell ourselves it just our skies that are grey
Leaving for a holiday
Living for our yesterdays
Can’t arrest our exponential decay
It’s something that we underplay
And let ourselves get led astray
Fool ourselves through conspicuous display
Leaving for a holiday
Why did I say yes today?

What you fear is what you get – so you do nothing
Can’t accept, you can’t forget – there could be something
Live your life in silhouette – a shadow’s plaything
I’ll get you that last cigarette – and you sigh

What if we both went far far away?
Found that place we use to stay
Sip a glass of cabernet
We tell ourselves that we can just hit replay
Leaving for a holiday
Living for our yesterdays
Can’t accept the state of our disarray
Think we can just go away
And save whatever’s left to save
Fool ourselves through conspicuous display
Leaving for a holiday
Why did I say yes today?

What you fear is what you get – so you do nothing
You can’t accept, you can’t forget – there could be something
Live your life in silhouette – a shadow’s plaything
A peculiar etiquette – no more lies
What you fear is what you get – so you do nothing
You can’t accept, you can’t forget – there could be something
Live your life in silhouette – a shadow’s plaything
I’ll get you that last cigarette – and you sigh

Stray

They say we're so indecisive
What they say we're not so sure        
We stand accused of being divisive
‘Cause we won't run with the herd any more 
They only show when we’re not invited
They make their plans at unsuitable times
They make us feel unrequited 
But they won't change or change our minds
Used to hope I’d be enlightened
Now I know that that’s all talk
A disorder we can thrive in
We love to run where the random walk
The first time I ever felt alive was
When I heard ‘You Made Me Realise’
And we know that ‘the man’ is frightened
When we dot our ‘T’s and cross our ‘I’s
 
Chorus:We don't claim to have the answers
You won't shame us. We're this way
Don’t hedge our bets, we'll take our chances
Don't blame us. We're not afraid
You can't tell what we're thinking 
Our thoughts won't betray us, they're here to stay
We're not planning a revolution 
But you can't tame us ‘cause we're so stray
 
They say we're so indecisive
What they say we're not so sure        
We stand accused of being divisive
‘Cause we won't run with the herd any more 
They only show when we’re not invited
They make their plans at unsuitable times
They make us feel unrequited 
But they won't change or change our minds
I say that we're quite decisive 
We'll lead each other in a another way 
Ain’t got no time to be derisive
We'll make it together for a better day 
We can thrive through our imagination
Life is for living. Don't let it pass you by
And we all know that the load is lightened
When we stop colouring inside the lines
 
We don't claim to have the answers
You won't shame us. We're this way
Don’t hedge your bets, we'll take our chances
Don't blame us, we're not afraid
You can't tell what the hell we're thinking 
Our thoughts won't betray us, they're here to stay
We're not planning a revolution 
But you can't tame us because we're so stray

No, you can't tame us because we're so stray
No, you can't tame us because we're so stray
No, you can't tame us because we're so stray

Recorded in Chicago - April 2017

The first time that we met, I know I can’t forget, everything was splendid
You stirred something up in me, your shine shines back on me, we reflect when we’re together
I saw you dancing there, your honeysuckle hair, your body made for leather
You don’t seem oblivious to me, you grab every chance you see,  but I’ll always wonder whether

If ever your dreams come true, for you and your motley crue  
If ever your dreams come true, for you and your motley crue
If ever your dreams come true, for you and your motley crue
If ever your dreams come true

The first time that we met, I know I can’t forget, everything was splendid
We behave mischievously, an altruistic tendency, always smiling when we’re mega
I saw you dancing there, your honeysuckle hair, your body made for leather
You don’t seem oblivious, you grab every chance you see, but I’ll always wonder whether

If ever your dreams come true, for you and your motley crue  
If ever your dreams come true, for you and your motley crue
If ever your dreams come true, for you and your motley crue
If ever your dreams come true

Five word birthday song challenge

NO, CORPUSCULAR, OFFAL, BEAST, MANATEE

While you’ve been studying insanity
I’ve been floating like a MANATEE, only smaller
A tiny BEAST, NO no – you can’t see me
In microscopic suspension – CORPUSCULAR

If I let you regulate my vanity
I’ll be floating without gravity, only taller
You can be OFFAL, in times of meat
Don’t get offended, it’s who we are
