Splintered Petal Fall
The petal of your youth
A spirit flaming call
The world is a fuse
So the splintered petal falls
Echoes far removed
In flights of wonder spun
The writings on the wall
Opaque in wonder sun
Carried in the wind
The splintered petal calls
But figures preaching yarns
Very rarely talk
Petal of your youth
A spirit flaming call
The world is a fuse
So the splintered petal falls

Aiming for a Never Saw

Aiming for a Never Saw
Up on your up on your feet balmy army
And go into the valley of death
As the world wonders at this frontal delusion
Where honour lies amidst the glorious blunders
Aiming for a never saw
Go on drop night bombs
For this is an evening with the creator force
But sometimes creation needs annihilation
And you were marked down for a breaking
Aiming for a never saw
Rejoice in chiming songs of gore
That elbow over rolling hills
Baton down the hatches
So pariahs can't wander
In dissonance
Meanwhile on the farm
The pressing gang are drinking planks
While their clobbering feet
Drag to the beat
Of the ugly elite
Head up head up keep babbling on
With Mrs Half who was such a laugh
As she shot herself in the foot
While driving and cleaning and wiping the arses
What a palaver said her father

Painting Rooms by Numbers
She's got the beating of the day
But her mind just goes astray
It's not easy I know
They turned the loving down low
You’re feeling to be tied down
Is borrowed unfound
It won't let you bare
Put your head up let them stare
Don't take the back seat once again
Don't let them drive you off the bend
You're marvellous and rare
Don't fit in no-one cares
Remember all that you were gifted
Write it bold up high and be it
Yes you painted your room
Your colour you choose
Just walk right on out
It's only wet paint on your shoes
Don't take the back seat once again
Don't let them drive you off the bend

Mother Nature's True

Mother Nature's True
Blank page on a mindless blur
It's the rage to be
Out of anger
And you fellow proud whistling man
Did you not ever kick a can
Pressed around in competition
A spying glance shows inhibition
Filling the lull
And father on his telephone
Is dragged around by kid alone
It's telling you so
Bought into something
Long ago
That's filling us up
So we couldn't say no
And all all or nothing
Just the measure of your truth
Embarrassing maybe
Doing nothing alone
And fair undertakings
Show the makings of your part
And socialisation doing body
In the dark
Glad mother nature is true

Compare & Be Free?
As I turn the old rusty tap
Hearing its screeching
I'm reminded of the fleeting past
and its quiescent like essence
That hovers freely above
But I can't save today or any day
It's winding itself away
Forever sanguine
Sallying on down
To somewhere larger than life itself
The more I yearn to capture it
Adorn it
Wrap it
Stop it
The more I see the beating machine
With its tick-tock feats
Information elites
Its summons of no repent
Billboard banality
Of shiny Impostor catch-phrases
Compare and be free
Then go depart capricious one
You lay to dormant
Not striving
Clinging
Needy
Too grey in tinsel our town
And poor in status

Private Jokes
All of my instincts say it is rigid
Moving addictions behold a witness
Exhausting fixations
Nagging persistence
Believe everything it wants
And everything you read
You always on your mind
Listening to it
So go dissolve goodbye old soul
Miss your so private jokes
I can know
Method or madness happy or sadness
Contorted emotions convey the notions
All of my instincts say I have business
Go dissolve goodbye old soul
Miss your so private jokes
I can know oh

Stoop
There is a nice path that does lead
From my hidden mountain retreat
It's secretly not by the sea
On a far away island
Won't stoop to those woolly kind of after-thoughts
Idealism go take a walk
I made it here all alone
Crowned king of the castle
Mop the passage and polish the plaque
I've never heard of it come meet the wife
Wipe the hard-drive and bury the spoils
And meet the natives at my door
I've got an army of lawyers now
Working on loopholes at the back
Mixing it up and giving it out
It's all above board
Mop the passage and polish the plaque
I've never heard of it come meet the wife
Wipe the hard-drive and bury the spoils
And meet the natives at my door
The sun doth shine over this missed time
That's moored to the banks with no sign
We keep our fingers in everyone's pie
On our far away islands

Oh Whatever

Oh Whatever
Picking up the pieces of the past
Before it gets too dark
And we cant hear the larks
So lets go higher
What I say is worthy for a listen
But not quite formulated
Lost in translation
I'll go higher
Oh look what I've become
Never thought it could be done
Was it a game I played
And oh whatever
Look out to the sea
They’re making whoopee
It's alright to say
Oh whatever
Everywhere is full of half baked nations
And governments print brochures
Full of hocus-pocus
Let's get higher
Come along with me to the park
We’ll feel a little lighter
It all becomes brighter
Let's get higher
Oh look what I've become
Never thought it could be done
Was it a game I played
And oh whatever
Look out to the sea
There making whoopee
It's alright to say
And oh whatever
Oh look what I've become
Never thought it could be done
Was it a game I played
And oh whatever
