I was the first match struck at the first cremation, you are my shallow grave, I'll tend you as a sexton
If you're the casket door that's being slammed upon me, I'll be a plague cross painted on your naked body
Well summer sighed and summoned up hail. Dirty in dish rack drips the holy grail
May be heartslob but I want 'em to know, cut and shut us like a portmanteau 
We sit around jus' spitballin', all the witches cackle round my cauldron
Recognise the lies from my poker tongue (is it true...?)

They say you and me are tautology
What grows from the seeds, 
can you quite believe? 
through cracks come the weeds, 
Long time listener, first time caller, 
no need to remind me
What death leaves behind me

Why must I lie awake, from dusk until the morning, through fear of bein' impaled upon errant mattress spring?
Within a waking dream I finally made my heel turn, lived life as Super 8 when you were promised Hilton
Propose me as a pardon for sins, led on barbecue I'm burnt offerings
I proof-read the Book of Job for the Lord: edit one, League Cup 2004
We, delicate as a filigree, cleared a place for us in the chicory
Colosseum blood will dry in the sun (is it true...?)

We tread it carefully, we feel around in kid-gloves
What death will leave behind, death will leave behind love
We will flower again, I have surely seen it
WE WILL FLOWER AGAIN

Avocado, Baby
There's no box to tick for red, so I put down blue instead cos it's closest there's to grey in the categories.
And the veins within the whites are a statement of demise, Doe Eyes you should stay at home licking batteries.
I feel like I'm the host of a terrible game-show and the guests on today's quiz are celebrities.
Won't respond to any clues they're just cracking jokes for views but the answers to these questions mean everything.

I had a friend who, had made a flag day
blood on their hands from shards of a heartbreak 
I have known friends to, crack from love's weight
blossom in ribcage, until their backs break 
Oh it won't get better, that doesn't mean it's gonna get any worse.
You're final draft'a life-long love letter, signed to the man who will be driving your hearse

Salacia's in the depths, and if I avoid the nets, threaten "I'll cuckold you Neptune" for definite
Meet between the dog and wolf, with the hoar frost underfoot and I'll show you every fire in Delphinus.
May she who casts the first fist of dirt across the casket have mourners lick the mud from her fingernails
'tween the breadth'a your arms span I was a renaissance man, books of lies stacked either side you were my carrell
 
(A heart of stone, rind so tough it's crazy, that's why they call me the avocado, baby)

If You Like It Or Not - The Brobecks

My Smile Is Extinct

Show Me How You Want It to Be

Happy Together

my mouth tastes like blood
i've got a canker sore
goddamn it really hurts
grew from one to more

so pour a cup of water, add some salt
and swish it through my mouth

(swish swish swish swish swish swish swish)

YOU'RE LIKE A CANKER SORE
YOU NEVER REALLY LEAVE
JUST WHEN I THINK YOU'RE GONE
YOU COME RIGHT BACK AND ATTACK ME

SO I'LL MAKE YOUR POISON, SWALLOW IT DOWN
AND HOPEFULLY THAT KEEPS YOU AWAY FOR NOW

BECAUSE WITH EVERY WORD I SPEAK
YOU MAKE ME CRY OUT IN PAIN
MY FRIENDS ALL KNOW THAT I CAN'T EAT
AND I'VE GOTTA TRY AND EXPLAIN
THAT IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU
YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE ME WILL YOU?

i've got a canker sore
underneath my tongue
it's always judging me
been here for months

but one day i'll beat it
one day i'll defeat it
because i don't need it
i don't fucking need it

The Boredom Keeps Me Up At Night

Canker Sore
