Lyrics:

Most nights
She watches herself cry
In his bureau mirror.
It’s never ‘pretty’ per se
But symmetrically framed
The contours of her face are
French New Wave grace
On a council estate budget.
She scrunches her eyes
Wrings them dry and
Calls her mother.
God loves a trier,
And it’s trying her patience
Trying to make this
Second rate sex
A relationship.
She’s yet to get to Paris
On his Butlins budget
But is trying
To make it
Work.
More fool her.
Innit.

In the cinematic adaptation
Of her bullshit existence
Night-time, red eyed reflections
Will be realised by indie directors and
Uplit with the neon glow of a mobile phone
It’ll be
So
Fucking
Art.
Though she knows
She tries too hard.
In years to come,
She imagines some young aficionados
Will compose love letters
To her flat chest against
Own brand bedding and attest
Her performance was
Wasted on him.

She is Godard’s complex feminine,
A Northern bedsit heroine, like
Wes Anderson did the narrative
But Shane Meadows picked the setting.
Hitchcock blonde
To a half-cocked lover
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up you boring...
Cut to morning

As it dawns on her
That sunlight looks better
With the curtains closed, and
This bed would feel less empty
If she were laid in it
Alone.

She goes home.

Happy heavenly birthday to the king of guitar solos and love of my life, Johnny Thunders! I was so excited to recreate the album cover art and do my own rendition of the title track. I love this song so much and hope I did it justice. 🖤

arrow to the sun

been a few years 
since those pictures of us
taken that summer of love
a teenaged girl 
smiled for the camera
didn't see storms as a warning
say you remember
amusement park laughter
in threes
all that came after
my whiskey, your cocaine disaster
i'll assume
when you're out with your new crew
that there's nothing to prove
don't object
in spite of the impasse
that's tragic between us
say we'll transcend
the obvious.
