At full tilt

(This is from the first time round with One More Windmill...)

Tilting into view
A galactic comet flew
Eyes spitting fire and flame
Burning into mine again
Meteoric rise
Across the skies
But the journey’s the same

One more windmill
And then it’ll be done
But the blades get sharper
And the nights get long
And out on the edge
Near the stars and the moon
Is the sad lilt of singular tune

One more windmill for these tired eyes
But the comet has stolen all of the skies
And out on the edge
Near the stars and the moon
Is the sad lilt of singular tune

Little Metal Letters

Little metal letters
How many have stopped to read
Those little metal letters
Beneath the chestnut trees
And the soft tread of time
Has worn away
What once was a better rhyme
As the conkers fall
Across the call
Of those cemetery lines

Standing testimonial for loves now long gone
We’ve read the prose and lord knows
How time just carries on

Supernaked

I don’t expect you know do you
How weird after all those signs
You’re just standing still
Wasting all my time
Supernaked

You see through me
Supernaked
And if it’s all I’ll ever be
Heart’s too raw
And feet too sore
To walk to some other rhyme
I hope you’ll still see
How you
Supernaked me

Ordering pizza at half past four
Look to the waitress, she looks to the floor
Look down what’s there to see
Hey it’s me
Supernaked

You see through me
Supernaked
And if it’s all I’ll ever be
Heart’s too raw
And feet too sore
To walk to some other rhyme
I hope you’ll still see
How you
Supernaked me

Wake up in a sweat, world's sleeping
And yet, through the curtains
I can see that big hand moon
Laying eyes on me
Supernaked

You see through me
Supernaked
And if it’s all I’ll ever be
Heart’s too raw
And feet too sore
To walk to some other rhyme
I’ll hope you’ll still see
How you
Supernaked me

Daze

Now the night’s clouding your eyes
With colours that daze my sighs
I can’t imagine
How we came to this
But let’s just stay
Let’s just stay
Because it’s bliss

Candlelight reflects on the walls
And far below a stereo calls
A tune down dark hallways
That echo with feet
As taxicabs mutter in the street

Outside the neon signs wink back at stars
And moonlight falls all over the cars
A cat screams for murder
And vengeance and pride
But here we are safe
Lying side by side
I can’t imagine
How we came to this
But let’s just stay
Let’s just stay
Because it’s bliss

Nothing but colours that daze my sighs

Serial Song Monogamy

Serial song monogamy
What you've done, you've done for me
Weird groove on the vinyl breathes
Strange emotions, can't you see
What you've done, you've done for me
Serial song monogamy

And I can’t get back
‘Cause it’s gone too far
Like swimming against the tide
To a distant shore
Eyes lost behind the scales
Lying shipwrecked on the floor
Drowning in your words
Caught up in your chords

Weird groove on the vinyl breathes
Strange emotions, can’t you see
What you’ve done, you’ve done for me
Serial song monogamy
