my youth in a chokehold
when i picture us settling down
i'll be the red paint with which you paint this town
i'm caught in the net you cast like a thought
i'm your court jester, i'm your clown to court
i'll quell the embers when your fuse gets short
i'll be your filing index when you've things to sort

that's what's funny
that's why i'm lucky
you don't win the lottery just because you spent on it
that's what's funny
that's why i'm lucky
i don't feel your body just because i dreamt of it

you're the charming knight, i'm your dragon slain
you're the pure and dirty thoughts that rattle my brain
you're worth the debt and all that remains
of every denim-scented pence of my pocket change
autumn dew settles on your window pain
and you awake to a little rain
you open your eyes to this dope
who looks at you like a kaleidoscope

that's what's funny
that's why i'm lucky
you don't win the lottery just because you spent on it
that's what's funny
that's why i'm lucky
i don't feel your body just because i dreamt of it
but here i am 
and i do
i move a little closer 
and i feel you
i feel your silhouette undress on me
love like a bayonet
impressed
on me

Pocket Change (2025)

like a nun on wash day
i am slipping into old habits
i'd once wished they wash away
but sometimes it's good to be one of the bad kids
i sure think of how our furrowed brows met
i'll think of the softness of her neck
but i'd sooner be dead than i'd sooner forget
the vision of her position
as i left her in bed

there's things left unsaid 
but i wish those things were heard
as i had pictured us in bed and 
there we were
my identity set the pace
a major change into a minor stop
am i lion uncaged?
or a bull in a china shop?

is it tumult in my wake?
or rose petals?
we know we were passing ships
but i'd have moored and settled

and there was no way we'd last
no way we'd persevere
but as you left my grasp
all i want is you right here

Passing Ships (2024)

i'm static but you're on the move
coz you had it being my ingenue
like someone out of a vaudeville revue
by the ear, fate led you
our tendons stretching thin
like sweet taffy in the making
you were a fruit bowl i was sketching
but never got to finish

i wish wish wish
on wishing well, on a shooting star
i wish wish wish
i hope to die as i cross my heart
i wish for you as you can guess
i wish for you and nothing less
i wish for you and all the rest
best wishes to your new conquest

the devil was in the details
but he put his resignation in an email
and aphrodite took his post
coz i overlooked her when i needed her most
through my clammy hands
you slipped by like time's sand
with hindsight i stand
on the sideline to your better man

i wish wish wish
on wishing well, on a shooting star
i wish wish wish
i hope to die as i cross my heart
i wish for you as you can guess
i wish for you and nothing less
i wish for you and all the rest
best wishes to your new complex

i'd like to be back on your side
i'd like to fight inyour corner
i can feel these feelings rise
like steam in a sauna
i know we just climbed out of the deep end
but i'd like to build a better defense
i know you just wanna be friends
but don't you wanna be more?


ALSO FINALLY ABRAMS THEME TUNE INNIT

Venus in the Details (2025)

in the break room
at lunch time
you can feel your
wondering mind
who was that guy 
i met last night?
will he be there again 
at the same time?
and you go back
to the same bar
your mind races
like a race car
but you can't find him
it's just you and your thoughts 
love at first sight
is at second lost
dancing alone
that's when you saw
that he's on his own
on the dancefloor
will he remember?
should i say
how we flirted
last tuesday?
oh yeah

when your lips meet
after you flirt more
you can feel it
what you've searched for
his body heat
is all yours
and your body's his
to explore

in the break room
next lunch time
you'll be smiling 
coz you're on his mind
you're on his mind
you're on his mind
you're on his mind
you're on his mind

BREAK ROOM

Watch the days go by, watch the people follow
See the burning flame is scared of its shadow
Watch the days go by, asking where was I
Asking is this me, and asking so polite

Of all fates mysteries
This one was a shock
The hands of the clock don't move a lot
But you make time stop

Search for a thrill
Searching highways and skyways and sewers and still
Tell me, baby, how would you feel
If all you got was your man and his guilt

Watch the days go by, watch the people follow
See the burning flame is scared of its shadow
Watch the days go by, asking where was I
Asking is this me, and asking so polite

Deep in your eyes
I found some truth you were looking to hide
For why?
Why would hide?

Deep in your arms
I found the love I'd always want
Tell me, baby, has loving me
Even been that hard?

Deep in your bed
I found the lust I'd never forget
It even goes without being said
That I can't think of one regret

Deep in your dreams
I can enter your love letter and we're both relieved
Deep in my heart
You're the reason there's a beating part

Watch the days go by, watch the people follow
See the burning flame is scared of its shadow
Watch the days go by, asking where was I
Asking is this me, and asking so polite
