Bellwether
Last night, I couldn’t get to sleep I was stuck on the Clapham Omnibus Measuring the space between us all The city is a bellwether And the light is changing And the rain is falling And the world revolves around… Last night I circled like a shark I was starved for things I shouldn’t want City perversion city life And tonight, I’m going to die And the light is changing And the rain is falling And the world revolves around… Last night, I didn’t want to leave I was caught in the locks of her hair She’s so pretty in her pretty little dress And tonight, it’s coming off And the light is changing And the rain is falling And the world revolves around… (London Town) |
Swallows and Amazons
And when this oh so solid world Crumbles at her feet Tell me there’s no light Children never stay Forever She’s somewhere out there lost at sea So cut away the sheets And tell her how it ends Words are so secure Forever And she moves Like a little bud And she moves As she does And she moves Like a little bud And she moves Away She said It’s something I want (no surprises) It’s something I need (no surprises) All the bullets and the barbs Couldn’t hurt her now Sleeping through the days Lying in her arms Forever And she moves Like a little bud And she moves As she does And she moves Like a little bud And she moves Away And she moves Like a little bud (lying in her arms) And she moves (Forever) As she does (lying in her arms) And she moves (Forever) Like a little bud (lying in her arms) And she moves (Forever) |
Cherry Blossom Girl
Hey Sakura baby Remember that time We were hotel room explorers Mapping our designs Empire dreams and borderlines Kept us up all night Nothing else exists outside Until nothing else Remains Hey my little darling The way the light fell down I could almost see right through you As you crawled into my arms We went so far but never left And conquered every state And when you slowly closed your eyes I died inside Again (Cherry Blossom Girl) Cherry blossom lover Opened like a book My fingers trace the contours Down the curve of your spine When I see you dancing Underneath my hands I followed all those maps we made And lose myself Again (Cherry Blossom Girl) |
Shanghai Lights
Shanghai lights reflected in your eyes We were waiting By the station And down below the traffic never moves We were dreaming Of destinations Distance lends enchantment to all lovers We were thinking Of our journeys But the ties that bind will keep us far apart We are sleeping And never leaving No one wants to circle round forever We are moving Ever closer Coast to coast and over foaming seas I am yours But you will never be mine I am yours But you will never be mine Shanghai lights reflected in your eyes We were waiting By the station And down below the traffic starts to move I am yours But you’ll never be mine |
