I should make my way down to Bristol To give you a good old fistful I’d play you like a bass guitar You know I’d follow the beat As your knees get weak Sneak my way into your memoir Scribbled my actions like I was Jason and the Argonauts Maybe you’re the elusive Golden Fleece Forever hoping I’m not just an afterthought ‘Cause to me you’re an epic poem from Greece The breakdown I’ll tell you what I’ve found We’ll both go underground And not make a ******* sound at all We’ll be covert lovers Forever purring blue sound bites into each other’s lugholes. Maybe the ambiguity of what I say Compliments how perplexed you behave Always a puzzle for me to crack I’ve never worked this hard for a go But this lust is something more I’d do anything to get you on your back Hold you down but in a way that’s caring You are a strong, beautiful, independent woman Baby I really try to not be so overbearing But without a little pressure how do you see yourself coming? The breakdown I’ll tell you what I’ve found We’ll both go underground And not make a ******* sound at all We’ll be covert lovers Forever purring blue sound bites into each other’s lugholes Undercover Just press the many buttons i have on my controls We’ll be covert lovers.

Covert Lovers
All the way past Westminster the Thames breathes rain & clouds                                                                               & the grim reaper beckons                                                                                  in the iron vein moonlight & I, I, an I is an Eye                                                                                open wide a thousand times                                                                               & the grim reaper beckoning Basho & the Dalai lama might help me find                                                                                              the restless gambler,                                                                                                     cards in hand or escape the ships that never sail past the horizon,                                                                                                             tribunals                                                                                                & looking out now from Cabot tower now past Bristol & beyond a homeless man sits waiting                                                                                                               paper cup                                                                                                          & styrofoam & Clocks do not tell the time                                                                                          they are merely told it                                                                                 yet in their vanity proclaim that they alone are it's keepers & our only friend & Nemesis

No tram just bus & train red dull of suburb & covert roses advertising nothing nothing could absolve this absence of thunder nor burn the heartstrings of a solitary clown whose make-up running down his face would have him rush into the storm
