Subway Ride Home

Subway ride home
She clutches crumpled paper, her prized possession in her hand,
The number of another man's phone

Subway ride home
She touches this lovelorn lover, discounts a mild flirtation, makes it clear
I won't be going anywhere alone

   Eyes of envy fall upon me
   What could she be doing with a man like me?
   But eyes of envy cannot see
   It's a case of co-dependency

Anywhere alone?
The phrase repeats with a question mark, can't imagine what it means
So together on this subway ride home

Anywhere alone?
The phrase repeats with a question mark, can't imagine what it means
So together on this subway ride home

   Eyes of envy fall upon me
   What she could be doing with a man like me?
   But eyes of envy cannot see
   It's a case of co-dependency
   A simple case of co-dependency

Doing Time On Earth

In the story of my life there is a clerical error
It reads loser instead of lover so I must live my life in terror
I must live my life in terror
If it means I will forever be losing never loving you

Up the staircase to desire there's just one step that's final
In taking it there's danger because there can be no more denial
There can be no more denial
And I'm sure that I would never turn away from loving you

   How can I explain this to of all people you?
   Should I shout it from the rooftop where I fell for you?
   How can I convince you with words that don't exist?
   On your lips in silence I'll press the softest kiss.

You are one in how ever many earthlings there are
To see you in soft focus I have no choice in the matter
I have no choice in the matter
In a way I am held captive doing a little time on earth

You are one in how ever many earthlings there are
The balance of my life I would to you so gladly give
To you so gladly give
The balance of my life I'm doing a little time on earth

   How can I convince you with words that don't exist?
   On your lips in silence I'll press the softest kiss.
   How can I explain this to of all people you?
   Should I shout it from the rooftop where I fell for you?

Maybe Perhapsman

Today
Could be
The day
For Maybe Perhapsman
Not a-matter-of-fact man
That's Maybe Perhapsman
Well, maybe, perhaps, man

Hip hip
Pip pip
Hooray!
For Maybe Perhapsman
He's never a slack man
That's Maybe Perhapsman
Well, maybe, perhaps, man

  It's raining rainbows
  From clouds with a saffron lining
  It's meteor-illogical
  The way his mid-life sun is shining
  Shining... shining... shining... shining... shining... shining

Each day
Could be
The day
For Maybe Perhapsman
Not a-matter-of-fact man
That's Maybe Perhapsman
Well, maybe, perhaps, man

   It's showering kisses
   From a mouth so heavenly scented
   Cosmetic or idealistic
   The way his outlook has been reinvented
   Reinvented... reinvented... reinvented...
   reinvented... reinvented... reinvented...
   Reinvented... reinvented

Could this
Be me
Today?

I Shot A Deer

Is this really where I live
So alone?
Is this really the way I live
Homeless at home?

   I shot a deer
   And I fear... I lost your mind
   I shot a deer
   And I fear... and I fear

This is really where I live
So alone
This is really the way I live
Homeless at home

   I shot a deer
   And I fear... I lost your mind
   I shot a deer
   And I fear... and I fear

   I lost such a giggle of a girl
   I shot such a giggle of a girl

Cryptic Clue: Shotgun Ends My Life On Happiest Day

Sometimes when
I look at you
It seems too good    to be true
Sometimes when
I look at you
It seems too good    to be true

And sometimes when
I look at you two
It seems too good    too good to be true
Is it true is it too good to be true
Is it too good to be true
To be true?

Sometimes when
I look at you
It seems too good    to be true
Sometimes when
I look at you
It seems too good    to be true

And sometimes when
I look at you two
It seems too good    too good to be true
Is it true - is it too good to be true
Is it too good to be true
To be true?

   Should you ever make another change in direction
   Spare a penny on a thought about me if you can spare
   If you ever look inside yourself and see my reflection
   We'll catch the next unmanned flight to anywhere
   Anywhere

That would be too good to be true - too good to be true
That would be too good to be true - too good to be true
That would be too good to be true - too good to be true
To be true

So Soon

That ancient therapy
We can put it together
Soon
When I break out
And you come
Soon.... so soon

We.... we....
I'm lost for words
When
When you break out
And I come
Soon.... soon

We can put it together

The Walls Are Soft

This is the house of "love"
And "we don't care"
The place our sexes merge
We both know where

   This is our home - our home from home
   Our timeless machine maybe just on loan

Into the valley of life
And we ride bare
A spark from that basic urge
Lights my fire there

   This is our home - our home from home
   Our timeless machine maybe just on loan
   The walls are soft not walls at all
   Come kiss the rod let curtains fall
   The walls are soft not walls at all

Turn the clock back to an uncluttered time
Our bread and better time
Push the hands back to an unfettered time
Our bed and butter time

   Summer sharp shadows
   Obscured by the hedgerow
   We picnicked on clamcherry jam
   The oyster our fresh home
   We'd go with the tide flow
   Erotic in exotic sands

Deep in your forest where first I made you mine
A wood so dense I couldn't see
Immersed in your lake you tossed out a line
Your waters runneth over me

   Fountainhead watershed come back to bed
   Watertight pillow-fight easier said

Unhappy Hour

Come and join me for the unhappy hour
Haven't we wet somewhere before?
I want more than you can give me
Can you ever forgive me for telling you now
In this unhappy hour?

   She left me sleeping on her couch
   I dreamt of jumping in her pouch
   I know that dreaming doesn't count
   I know what's in and I know what's out

So come and join me for the unhappy hour
Didn't we pet down on all fours?
I want more than you can give me
Can you ever forgive me for telling you now
In this unhappy hour?

   She left me sleeping on her couch
   I dreamt of jumping in her pouch
   I know that dreaming doesn't count
   I know what's in and I know what's out

Tea Leaves

Let's avoid the hue and cry
You and I
I've decided to live the rest of my life
You know why

My life so far has been a joke
About a fairly decent bloke
And here's the punch line
I never made you mine
I'm still going to make you mine

Yellow hand points out stars in the sky
As our guide
I'll show you yours if you show me mine
Open wide

Seems I under reacted
To the way some say you never acted
And here's the punch line
The dumb led the blind
I'm still going to make you mine

   We are internationally wealthy
   Happy campers when your pantry is full
   I am insufficiently healthy
   Broke 'n' broken and empty without you

Side by side till the day we die
You and I
In each other’s arms on the day we die
You know why

I'm still going to make you mine
I'm still going to make you mine
