I tried
I was scared, but knew
You were asking because you loved me
I wanted to be a child
But didn’t fit to plan
Through the window I will go
Turn my back unto the night
What can’t be seen won’t scare me
Sunflowers my alibi
If I don’t come back, know I tried
What’ll you, what’ll you remember me by?
Little girl, little girl, couldn’t look her sister in the eye
All of these days are nights
These days are nights
Through the window I will go
Turn my back unto the night
What can’t be seen won’t scare me
Sunflowers my alibi
If I don’t come back, know I tried

The Scientist
Rings on each finger
Hair as bright as a blow pop tongue
Ida would drag her feet into the lab
And talk to no one
Needles rags and chloroform
Here she was at home
Giving mice their death wish
She could do it alone
Science is based on evidence
You can’t count on love
Equations she can prove
but find the right words to use and..
no, nothing comes
When she wants to get away
She goes on holiday alone
And always keeps her headphones on
On a cliff above the sea
She knows she’s out of reach of everyone
who needs someone to love them
Who can love them all?
Science is based on evidence
You can’t count on love
Equations she can prove
But find the right words to use and…
No, nothing comes
They whisper words of sad existence
One can’t live on only science
Therein lies the source of excitement
It’s a matter of self-reliance
It’s all in Science.

these arms are mermaids

these arms are mermaids
These arms are mermaids for you
So take my hand, and walk through time
Somewhere in this blood there’s a seed
And with that drop, we’ll build Empires
Oh, mercy ,mercy, me
This magic must be a trick of circuitry
Your sweet smelling perfumes are the rage of my desire
This lonely road ends with the touch from your silken skin
And wading ‘round the red wet bursts of your lips
These arms are mermaids for you
They’ll find you wherever your heart drums
These arms are mermaids for you
So take my hand, and walk through time

Oranges for Alcohol

Oranges for Alcohol
In the daylight it would never last
colours pale, oranges for alcohol
Eyeliner smudged under your eyes
Morning brings another vice
You’d look at me the wrong way and the spell would break
I’d say something so mean you couldn’t speak
You’d tell me you wrote a song for me
I’d find you say that to everybody
Do you say that to everybody?
But now it’s you and I under these lights
And a straight shot to the bar
You’ll have to get closer and put your lips to my ear
Don’t say a thing just stay there
Don’t say a thing just stay there
When the room’s full and the band is loud
It never lasts but somehow
It could be so good….
It could be so good….
It could be so good….

mess, yes

Mess, yes
Baby, I’m a mess, yes
So what if I have been drinking tonight
And from the bottle of this bottle I sing
This is still love, love, love, love, love
Baby, don’t be embarrassed for me
So what if it’s 3am and I’m screaming
Somewhere in this world there are whole cities awake
Maybe we can go there someday
And as the city flickered in the night
And all the lights shown, in spite of me
Failed attempts fell at the wayside
To reveal it’s always you I’m missing
Baby, I’m a mess, yes
So what if I have been drinking tonight
And from the bottom of this bottle I sing
This is still love, love, love, love, love
