Obstacles

When you used to pass me on the wrong side of the road
I used to say it was because you simply didn’t know
The things that was I planning
To make our paths cross
That would bring us together
And make you feel the loss
When you used to run away when I entered the room
I knew your shyness would go away quite soon
Because I had a vision
In which you were the star
And we would come together then
And then we’d go far
For I knew we were meant to
I see it aint easy
The obstacles put in our way
Were just for us to push away
When you used to ask who was leaving you the gift
I kept silent thought I knew my hints weren’t missed
I knew what you needed
And spent all of spare change
But didn’t say it was me
So you wouldn’t think I’m strange
When you realised it had been me all along
I waited for you to ask me to write for you a song
Maybe you don’t like music
Or haven’t got a voice –
But don’t worry I will write you one
You haven’t got a choice
For I knew we were meant to
I see it aint easy
The obstacles put in our way
Were just for us to push away
When I look back and think of you at all
I can’t believe I loved a girl who didn’t care at all
I was young and stupid
And fell for a lie
Wherever you are now
At least I can say I tried
For I knew we were meant to
I see it aint easy
The obstacles put in our way
Were just for us to push away

Gilded Youth

In decadence we sought purity
fill the river with a million flowers
When at dawn you came back with me
we watched the sun come up for hours
The nights are long though our youth is brief
we made a circle of our promises
When the moon lit up the distant beach
and we all know what it is

Helicopters

Read in the news Japan is arming
Put my parent’s money in organic farming
On a plane surrounded by the army
She looked like she’d stepped from a Murakami
When the acid rain came down
Knew it was time to skip this town
Last thing I saw/ that girl was grooving
I am generation Why?
So don’t feed me your llies…
Next time I looked there was nothing moving
Water in the bowl needs constant stirring
And the helicopters keep on whirring
This is not my idea of progress
I don’t understand your diagnosis
I’m still a Chernobyl child –
That means I’m not on your side –
Fukushima could have been predicted
By the time you scream out loud
Beijing’s under a mushroom cloud
Because we are cheap oil addicted
Water in the bowl needs constant stirring
And the helicopters keep on whirring
The black cat stops her purring
And the helicopters keep on whirring

Foxgloves

The summer of my triumph
ended in disaster
reminded me of seasons
long gone by
We took in the hay
and I drove the green tractor –
beating back the rain
that threatened from the sky
I went with dad out shooting
early in the morning
came across a shelter
but no-one was there….
Heard a foxes bark
that came without warning
for a moment I saw you
then noone was there
Love is as brief
as you on that morning
were you a mirage
or a figment of my mind?
The memory returns
to me without warning…
they took you from the
hanging branch
and left the trap behind
Did our romance
Have to end quite as violently?
Escaping from the chicken run
With a dog upon your heel
Run past the foxgloves
to where the water was
The scent of you returning
Across the ancient fields

Make Room for Love

Claim back your heart
There will be a return
Don’t be afraid
That’s what I’ve learned
Make room for love
Let love break in
Make room for love
And feel it win
Downplay the past
Stay off those pills
Don’t regret what’s passed
Embrace new thrills
Make room for love
Let love break in
Make room for love
And feel it win
