Floral Tie
02:51
|
|
||
here comes the man
with the floral tie
oh my god
what a beautiful tie
oh how the colours combine
rose, lily, lilac and heather
brilliant pink and shady blue
intertwining all together
bottle green and yellow too
tulips, daisies, morning glories
tropics, deserts and the sky
blossoms from the territories
and the chords that make you
cry

From Afar A Faucet
02:07
|
|
||
happy as a clam within
shadows of the currant patch
summer sun on glowing skin
yellow jackets circling trash
ever since the railway gates came down
to pass and further distant trains
the girls could tell that coming sound
was calling for inevitable change
from afar a faucet splashed
pulling you back into it
|

here they come in droves
they will take pictures of the flowers
leaning down on the rails
enjoy and wait
and all is when
will i have mine?
floating through say summer
silver sunshine on the surf
slipping out of my sandals
even now i wait for when
will i have mine?
pink turtle on purple grass
and cherries in the trees
i will wait forever
only every now and then
when will i have mine?

Banana Moon
01:29
|
|
||
we're sitting pretty
on a bench outside
the night is warm yeah
under a banana moon
plants look good
in electric light
another bottle
of white
underneath a banana moon
banana moon
up in the rafters
banana ballon
banana moon
shaped like a melon
bananana moon
the thing of ours
is not to reason why
while the world is quiet
underneath a banana moon
mars and venus
make up and cry
right up there
in the sky
underneath a banana moon

The Pelican Grief
02:13
|
|
||
we burned out and faded away
to that mountain dew sound
now you can hear me sing
original songs
about the moon and the stars
and the sun
came down on solid squares
for no one but you to see
i tried to pull it out of
the air
it wasn't there
it never appeared

Naked Man
02:28
|
|
||
naked man snacks at midnight
maybe there never was a promise
to be fulfilled
the half-empty glass has been spilled
over and under, above
some you see and some you won't
there is something going on
the languidness left with the sun
naked man swoons alone
over softly strummed doo-wop tunes
playing on the radio
the harmonies falling so low
left and right, in between
the moon, the palm trees
the calming sea
and underneath
the joy, the sorrow, the grief
flowing
falling
floating

Frugal Days To End
02:07
|
|
||
a cocktail napkin line
"don't be crabby, it's
cocktail time"
are we better off
in the garden of a madhouse?
cracks in the armor
attracted to laughs
are your obsessions
adjacent to mine?
lazy jazz and jealous greens
and
frugal days to end
to mend your
soul cherry

Almost Always
03:23
|
|
||
the fury and the sound
mix up accordingly
does it shadow you around
what you neither hear
nor see?
sadness drips like rain
upon old hairless heads
time and time again
distorting all your stats
where it's at
it was almost
always there
the jury and the clowns
tread water evenly
does it puzzle and astound you
however frequently?
do you see?
it was almost
always there

Meshes Of The Afternoon
01:58
|
|
||
within the august structure while
girl on a bench in the park with the feel
planes are painting in the sky
stepping out, hide, open up or conceal
putting it all down into where it belongs
most of it all will slip though soon
later on spambots will like your songs
through meshes of the afternoon
you're old enough to be glad when you're wrong
rain bubbles form and burst at your feet
you will always amble along
up to a golden margarite
putting it all into where it belongs
most of it all will slip though soon
later on spambots will write your songs
through meshes of the afternoon

Stop Quoting Albert
02:41
|
|
||
please stop quoting albert again
he's nice and all
but you're different from him
please stop quoting albert again
to cease to quote old albert again
coin a phrase or two
and be happy with them
please stop quoting albert again

An Island Full Of Fun
01:11
|
|
||
a beeline through delays
my love forever low
upon our virtual grave
your flowers never grow
and all beneath a wave
and all and ever slow
upon our virtual grave
your flowers never show
through aisles in a haze
agree on everyone
an island full of waste
an island full of fun
and all beneath the day
and all and ever some
an island full of waste
an island full of fun
|
||||
12. |
|
|||
three times
from way back then
up until now
a trusted friend
a sad clown
a fat ghost
now roaming free
nowhere to be seen
i have moved to the margins
away from the screen
