Repeat Yacht Traveller

Mellow ridin’
Down to the sea
Think I’m findin’
A new way to be
Mellow ridin’
Down to the bay
Think I’m findin’
A new thing to say
Repeat yacht traveller
Let the world keep unravelling
I’ll go repeat yacht travelling
Far from everything/all things
Sinful city
Offers no redemption
So many sirens
You stop payin’ attention
I was ungratefully Dead
In my neon fed head
But why can’t there be
California sunshine everywhere?
Repeat yacht traveller…
Other people
Other hells…
I know how it begins
I know how it ends
But a moment on the wind
And I’ll be born again
Repeat yacht traveller…
Other people
Other hells…

Ego Echo
02:44
|
|||
|
I met a man who was
walking on Misery Mile
As if he’d been programmed
to follow that path
Since he was a child
I said “Well since I have met you here,
I must be here too...
In fact I strongly suspect
That I am you”
My ego echo
It never ever lets go
Between mortal and ghost
Sunbeam and moonglow
With my fearless little wolf beside me
And my haywire compass to guide me
En route to the place
where I can never arrive...
Both undead and unalive,
I can never arrive...

Love Lives In Hope
04:41
|
|||
|
She tells me that she’s hard to reach
But I keep trying
Promising her happiness even as I’m crying
Love lives in hope
Even if its chances are remote
Recalling everything that we once shared
Crawling to find the way to get us back there
Love lives in hope
Hopefully ever after
or hopelessly after ever
Living a love that lives in hope
of our one day being together
Love lives in hope
She’s told me that she’s hard to reach
But I keep trying
To make love return
Even if it’s spurned
Even back from dying
Love lives in hope
Even if its chances are remote
Recalling everything that we once shared
Refalling in love’s the way to get us back there
Love lives in hope…
For magic days ever yearning…
Old magic ways returning…
Love lives in hope
Love lives in hope...

I feel it’s me that’s to blame for
Losing you and finding you and losing you again
I whip myself with these chains for
Losing you and finding you and losing you again…
Joyous sorrow sorrowful joy
Unrestrained…
My sorrows and joys share the same name…
Losing you and finding you and losing you…
I had it I lost it do you know where it is?
It’s with you and your elusive kiss...
So Kiss this
Kiss this fool
Who keeps…

Loving you through
Each day into night
In that deepest blue
There’s a longing for light
A wish for a whole
Instead of half life
A sigh from the soul
For things that went wrong to be right
Strange to be sad
About all that joy
Sad to go mad
At the edge of the void
Here is my hand
Here is the heart
Where everything stands
Especially the loving part
But if you can’t feel it
I can’t make you feel it
But if you could feel it
I’d feel it too
But if you can’t feel it
I can’t make you feel it
But if you could feel it
I’d feel it too
It’s painful to lose
All that you have
I didn’t choose
Good to turn bad
But when I let go
Of that balloon
It didn’t fly to the sun
It crash landed on the moon
It didn’t quite make it
But it almost made it
Let’s re-try to make it
Let’s say we just haven’t made it yet
It didn’t quite make it
But it almost made it
Let’s re-try to make it
Let’s say we just haven’t made it yet

Empty Hands
04:21
|
|||
|
I’ve been trapped beneath the glass
An ornament of my own madness
A crystal ego to be shattered
Crazy diamonds to be scattered
Maybe I’ll bring on the sadness
Maybe I’ll turn more to less
Clothes and dreams
And flags are tattered
Maybe none of it has mattered
If I stepped over the barrier
If I fled across the border
Running to a self-promised land
Holding out my ever empty hands
Seeing more than I could ever reach
Seeing more than I could ever be
Who turned love into a tragedy?
It’s me that makes it so hard for me
Once I felt us
In another time
Once I knew us
As one design
We shared a sky
It was pure sunshine
Forgive me angel
The fall was mine

No more fleeting joy
No more
No more lasting grief
No more
This old human body of mine
Please it says no more
This old human voice is crying
Please… no more
No more…
Home is just a place to go
In all its windows
The curtains are closed
Your garden thirsts
From lack of rain
Empty clouds that you can’t change
No more…
This old human body of mine
Please it says no more
This old human voice is crying
Please… no more
No more…
The air of despair
Is everywhere
Gives oxygen to all your cares
Your bitter days
Dissolve away
The corrosive pain is unrestrained
No more…

The wind was breathing in her hair
The sand kissed her feet
The Pacific whispered in her ear
As she held her baby on the beach…
The photograph faces
Hung on a nail on a wall in the hall
Looked out at everyone that came to call
You knew you were here
But you wished you were there
When the wind was breathing in her hair…

Moon Eyed Mistress
02:45
|
|||
|
The only Bob Dylan album you had
Was ‘Nashville Skyline’
Some Ray Conniff and
Some Percy Faith
You were MOR before your time
Could a spotty greasy haired English Boy
Ever make you become his moon eyed mistress
You were my California Mystic
You were my Lexington Priestess
John Lennon glasses
Joni Michell blonde
You were all my dreams in one
Would be toy boys and their
unwitting MILFs get older
50 years on
Thousands of days
And thousands of ways
From who we were
To who we’ve become
But did you ever get a copy
of ‘Time Out Of Mind’
My darling old one

Orchard
05:13
|

|
Walking through the orchard
With you
Flame trees
Hung heavy with drug like fruit
I’ll get high with you
A burning world of
Autumn fire yearning for the
Apples of desire
Yes!
Let’s get higher
Bite it - I must
Taste it - I will
Remind me not of the bitter hills
This unforgettable fall
This unforgettable thrill
I’m no Adam
You’re no Eve
But this is an Eden
For you and me
And it’s serpent free
The most beautiful place we’ll ever be

Dead Sea
05:10
|

|
Come and float
On my Dead Sea
Make it come alive for me
But will you still be kind
If certain things don’t rise
Will I still be a man
In your eyes?
Many laugh
At men like me
At such a little tragedy
Such a little tragedy
But will you still be kind
If certain things don’t rise
Will I still be a man
In your eyes?
In your eyes?
Exile on Ecstasy Street
I can’t please and can’t be pleased
I can’t please and can’t be pleased
But will you still be kind
If certain things don’t rise
Will I still be a man
In your eyes?
In your eyes?

The Hilarious Fable
07:52
|
|||
|
The mike is your friend
Or your enemy
The things that you say
Could ricochet
If bouncing off the walls
Is your destiny
Make sure they pay
To watch you give it away
And just remember
Some drugs are better than others
But there’s no drug that’s better than a hug from your mother
Lay your tragi-comic hilarious fables on the masses
Amuse ‘em and move ‘em
And slap ‘em on their asses
And just remember…
Things go better with Coke for you
But Mr Snowman might say something blue
Things flow better with dope for you
Shoot, smoke, snort n’ swallow to get you through
And just remember…
Sad downer clown
Your life is so unforgiving
Chanting misery
And chewing scenery for a living
And just remember…
You sit down to do your stand up routine
With faked canned laughter
What a disaster
So turn off that unfunny joke machine
Unhappy ever after
Just another cracked up actor
But just remember…
Idiot son
Your time to shine has faded
But at least your old mamma
Lived to see that you made it
So just remember…
Mother
Mother
Mother
Mouthmother

Liv Ullmann Day
03:15

Phoenix
Leicester
Held a Liv Ullmann Day
Cinema Hours
I cast my male gaze
On that most saddest eyed of film stars
Oh to be her Ingmar
I saw what Bergman saw
On Liv Ullmann Day
Muse and lover
Her story told his way
The camera traced
The journey of the light upon her face
Direction
Projection
Voyeuristic
Visionary
Song of Sweden
Song of Norway
Looking on from a sad old England
On Liv Ullmann Day
Song of Denmark
Song of Finland
Looking on from the sad old Midlands
On Liv Ullmann Day
Song of Scandinavia
On Liv Ullman Day

While I'm Still Warm
04:21
|

|
Whitey take a sip from your flask of gin
Before you bring that glow back to my skin
Make me look my best
For my final scene
In the chapel of unrest
As my lovers weep
While I’m still warm
Whitey
While I’m still warm
Whitey dear…
Trace my brows
Make my lips “Kiss Kiss” red
Paint my perfectly flawless mask of death
Just as lovely as when I drew breath…
Transformed into an American Goddess
While I’m Still Warm Whitey
While I’m Still Warm Whitey Dear
Call me an icon
Call me a dumb blonde
They’re seeing an illusion
The real me is gone
This movie has to end
Its shining star has died
Prepare me for my Hollywood afterlife
While I’m still warm Whitey
While I’m still warm Whitey dear

In the Now
03:03
|
|||
|
Your thing was making people feel better about themselves
To show that happiness was in the now
In the now with you
But it’s hard to smile our sadness away
Though surely you’ve gone to a higher plane
And you’d want us all to celebrate
In the now today
Someone beautiful has gone
But brand new beauty must press on
Our hearts must learn how foolish it is
Not to live
Not to give
We’ll all talk about the light within
But when does the real shining begin?
It’s pouring out of your radiant skin
And in the now we’ll share it
Share it in the now

Monsell Skyline
08:22
|
|||
|
Walking on the edge of a sunset
My fallen star hasn’t been caught yet
And you, you know my mind
I’m just thinking about that Monsell skyline
I’m just thinking about that Monsell skyline
We’ve got a shortage of rainbows
No sooner one appears
It goes...
And you...
Underneath clouds of stone
Monsell rain is all I’ve ever known
And you...
The sky above I see is grey
Grey as the sky could ever be
Grey days
Grey nights
Go fly your grey kite
The horizon holds a line
I don’t think it’s my line
I don’t think it’s your line
I don’t think it’s our line
Grey sky woman don’t you know my mind
I know your mind
(And I know yours…)
Grey sky woman
Grey sky man
Grey sky blues
