Pick Axe

woke up in clouds
morning dragged by
its collar and beaten
train shoots itself through
stuck under this
fucking thumb
the pit opens
you’ve got eyes no brain
pick axes
boots needled
so i get out of it
forced to fight my own
all doors shut in the end
kids playing on swings
over here all drowning
roundabout breaks down
radiator’s burst
hurt to heat someone else
why this fight?
look in the files
look in the speeches
they’re trying to force it
into the streets
trying to divide me

East German Athletes

shoot up by tv light
you lie out of spite
vain for a ratings spike
i will not take your pills
and it all gets twisted
‘till i’m seeing east german athletes
plastered over the screen
to here they delayed the screams
rot the planet to powder
then cut it into borders
all a slave to what you grab
you make us high jump
and it all gets twisted
‘till i’m seeing east german athletes
plastered over the screen
to here they delayed the screams
round the track they ran
no cares and no cash
left to bleach in circles
then injected backwards
and it all gets twisted
‘till i’m seeing east german athletes
plastered over the screen
to here they delayed the screams

Teatime

|
we are all built from bricks and coal
and about this we are lied to
there are still prizes
in the name of what we stole
get off your fucking perch
everyone is guilty
we are all made of free syringes
that some would tear in minutes
flags burning in the breeze
then i might breathe
get off your fucking perch
everyone is guilty

Thomas' Day Out
03:19
|

|
not too early, not too late
think to keep warm
school out over the back
i was singing then, fuck them
i waited all day
tea, toast, flying
radio talking shit, laughing
start singing the chorus
you can’t know
you’ve got too much bread
half hour to get dressed
might rain, don’t wear those
look out, still sunny
that’s where i was learning words
can’t work when you’re buzzing
shout at the walls
universal fucking truth
gang chant hooks
voice hurts
never goes away
head nod stops the words
from coming out
sudden resurrection
then someone resigns
more grand schemes
i’ll be late in a minute
played it 3 times
walk fast to the station
sun breaking into heaven
float like butterflies
sweet like lemons
outside for ideas, look like
old photos, new walls
spare minute, look back
it’s a beautiful thing
