News today
A young man killed by a street light
no one could stare
because it was in broad daytime
so the clock ticks by
and you pay for your time
and that's all you'll ever be
never a bird or bee
don't lead on
just because you can'
all I have
are my two hands
don't lead on
don't lead on
because of the rain
that washes her away
but when she comes back
she's never the same
she's never the same
young man
who never had a chance
that did all he can
but never made a stance
so the question remains
why was he strange
that was from the rain
he was never the same
don't lead on
just because you can'
all I have
are my two hands
don't lead on
don't lead on
because of the rain
that washes her away
but when she comes back
she's never the same
she's never the same

Once Upon

walking by a dream I should of said hi to
she tripped into the stream I said to soon
A thought was not to far but my hands were all tied up
my words are more than charm I guess I can shut it
I think their gone but it's just another
I think their gone but it's just another
once upon
A ghost ran and said your going the wrong way
as she slept her bed she began fading away
all the doves are dead as she tried to break the mirror
as the voices said in her head he missed her
I think their gone but it's just another
I think their gone but it's just another
once upon

All Signs are Blank

Lover flew away
with a broken wing
and something her brain
please police
your here to save me
not to leave me be
oh people just walking by
like a switch without a light
and when the street lights shut their eyes
and when the shops say goodnight
and when you find no one else to thank
all signs are blank
don't look away
you've got bills to pay and the news
is just like the gum you chew
oh brick walls
they lie to tell the truth
and their just a glass your looking through
oh you youths the damage is done
and when all the poets are gone
you'll be writing for eternity
and when the street lights shut their eyes
and when the shops say goodnight
and when you find no one else to thank
all signs are blank

No Knowing

I saw you
just standing there
with eyes so blue
it's hard not to stare
so I waited for a while
through the tears and crooked smiles
I never could say hi
it was a blessing in disguise
I was waiting
I was waiting for the right time
but there's no knowing
there's no knowing
cause time never keeps to itself
I guess I was living in a dream
you were there but you never could see me
I wish that the film would end
or at least pretend
I wish my heart could skip a beat
in the lonely park or down the street
visions of you everywhere
I honestly couldn't care
I was waiting
I was waiting for the right time
but there's no knowing
there's no knowing
cause time never keeps to itself

Mr tongue twister won't you come and see
what you waiting for you know it's me
so say your words before you sleep
Mr tongue twister come home
Mr tongue twister come home
I thought you said you were alright
but now I know that's a lie
you were happy for a while
before you threw away that smile
Mrs tongue twister please change his mind
you and him are the only of your kind
so turn a blind eye and say on your behalf
Mr tongue twister come home
Mr tongue twister come home
I thought you said you were alright
but now I know that's a lie
so when your back by her side
don't ever throw away that smile

Just to Bent

Only fools would fall in love with you
so I told myself I's never ask for two
the other day I saw a reflection of what might have been
now wrappers in the bin
and if our eyes ever met again
I'm sorry love I'm just to bent
tales of a girl knocking door to door
looking for boy she could not see no more
as repetition turned to bore
she was a block from the boy she once saw
and if our eyes ever met again
I'm sorry love I'm just to bent
