Would it be right
To fight with a lover’s venom
Down a snakin’ road
And down blood vessels

Mark a cross to suck the poison out

Slipping into skin 
Of solo hiss survival

Following a path 
to instinct’s heart and cradle

Mark a cross
mark a cross to find the centre ground

Hazy as
horizons in the desert
If you dream today
Then call tomorrow

Mark a  cross
Mark a  cross
Mark a  cross to find your way back home.


Naught & Cross

You’re either sitting on top of the world
Or you’re under it
All this time
All my life
And I climb and I fall

Standing still won’t still time
Neither will I
I can’t be 
What I see 
So I fly, fly, fly

CH: 		tide on tide
		under and over 
		from the inside 
		a light

I call
all my friends for a reminisce
How did we 
come to be
what we took and what we missed?

Is the heart a universe
Or something like earth
Microworld 
1/2 controlled by you
but worlds can burn


CH: wind on fire
Under and over 
From the outside
A sign


Wear your scars like trophies
They’re what you are 
Wear your scars like trophies
They’re everything 
that you’ve survived

CH:  tide on tide
under and over 
from the bright side
a light
a sign 
a fire


Ups & Downs

the sea is wild
and that’s appropriate
the tide going out
your sly invitation

the shore pulls me in a little more
the shore pulls me in a little more
the shore pulls me in a little more
you sure pull me in

your cold water 
islapping my senses
ice burning so ..
i can’t breathe i can’t breathe i can’t breathe

Underwater it could be night or day
i want to be swept up 
and swept away

but nothing ever changes
til everything changes
no nothing ever changes
til everything changes

soaked up to my neck
wet all over my mouth
my body in flight
which way is up

your cold water 
is lapping my senses
ice burning so 
i can’t breathe
i can’t breathe
i can’t.
Breathe.


My Love You Sea

01 My Love You Sea (past tense)

02 I Think I Think 1

03 Going Gone 1

UFO (live and solo)

I wrote this for the gorgeous Abe and Rose for their first wedded dance.

Wedding Waltz

All sorts of trouble 
Click your fingers 
All sorts of trouble

Talk, talk of pollen
The way it explodes
And get a girl thinking
She’s one of those

Just because you can 
Doesn’t mean you should

I’ll walk away
Raise your voice
I’ll walk away

Turn, turn a corner
Another city
The battleground’s long gone
And so am I

Just because you can
Doesn’t mean you should
One more drink to remember 
I’m just trying to be good

We are in a bar 
This is not a fight
We’re just trying to sort between 
Good and right

Whoa, one more drink to remember
Oh, one more drink to remember
Whoa, one more drink to remember
Oh, one more drink to remember


One More Drink

warm sun withdraws
shadows are growing
a little like love
this just got dangerous

turn the night on
back to the scene of one of your crimes
better yours than one of mine
but i'm driving this time

you ought to know it  
that's for the best
no, you ought to / wouldn't know it 
that's for the best

I got a parking fine,
a speeding fine,
I’m doing fine fine fine
Oh so stable
Capable of more than expected this time
I've got a car and I've got an urgent need to go
Into the desert 
Alone 

you ought to know it 
that's for the best
you ought to / wouldn't know it 
and that's for the best

I’m coming down 
With whatever’s going around
Yeah I'm coming down
With whatever's going around, yeah.

you ought to know it 
that's for the best
you ought to / wouldn't know it 
that's for the best

I’m coming down 
With whatever’s going around
Yeah I'm coming down 
With whatever's going around

you ought to know it 
that's for the best
you ought to / wouldn't know it 
that's for the best
