Nobody ever bled?

They wrote in the papers what was not really said
I saw a yellow pigeon fly over our wall to catch on the floor was some bread
Idiots writing meaningless things on the wall just to get noticed by someone who'd not agreed with what he was thinking in his head
I sit here and watch the woman getting dressed without being noticed then I went home and had a massive ******* in bed
Fading quite slowly was an image I'm sure I must have seen or was it seemed to have been read
I dream't of a purple dolphin swimming in the sea far out were nobody could hear us and we talked about God and if he would please us if a big red balloon came to take us to a world were nobody ever had bled.

Butterfly Net


I flew as high as a man can get
I crashed down on the earth all soaking and wet
I thought flying was easy but don't ever forget
I never thought you'd leave me and your mind was set
Fickle how time catches you like a butterfly net
Now will never be again and the future is yet
Trust what is in your heart and everything else reject

Red neck Blues

Ride on ride on ride on
but don't ever come back to me
Find your little fiefdom
Then keep it under lock and key
You're just as poisonous as a snake
The snake is meant to be how it's meant to be
You wanted to know how life is
Just open your eyes and you get what you must see
I will go out of the back door
Leave you climbing up a tree
But before I go dear darling
Don't you love yourself and being free.

A flower

I dance around a ring of fire
Smoke plumes my desire
I am for hire
A high bird on a wire
Slender is she my maiden to inspire
I love her madly deeply molton lava
Throw away your hopes you need only her require
I watch you shower and I want to devour
Still running around her getting higher and higher
She has no heart only does she acquire
Strange affliction of the disturbed once beautiful flower.

My neck is black and my eyes are brown and I have seen all over this town
All over this town
My hair is grey and my toes are long but something inside keeps me singing this song
Singing this song
My pockets are empty and my belly is full and I keep myself warm from wearing this wool
wearing this wool
I see a door so I open that and I look upstairs but it's just my cats
just my cats
Yes my neck is black and my eyes are brown and I have seen all over this town
all over this town

Timeless etchings hang upon the wall
History is revealed
All the clocks never told us time as I run down the hall
My master calls me to his chambers and told me to guard it with my life a letter with the Royal Seal
I race my horse across the muddy plains as the ground breaks up I see darkness rising through the bloodied field
A thousand steel blades thrashing slashing meat from bone in a bargaining life for pain that's real
I arrive at the destination with the Kings Emblem on the Castle wall My lord I send word concealed
He reads with pain splintering from his eyes and knows the Demon Devil has conquered everything and all and now The King must do the deal.

Conditions have changed

I need love love love
In my heart heart heart
I feel I'm walking in the dark dark dark
need a hand to hold need a hand to hold I need a hand to hold
I feel so deep so deep so deep
I can hardly breathe breathe breathe
I wake and I see see see
It's not me not me not me
It will never be me me me
