Diagonals 04:34
The moon was high its diagonals entwined Its fullness confirmed adrift long sighs We spoke of tomorrows we spoke of todays We spoke of the things that we both left behind What comes forth uneasy will Tarred breath and kingdoms rebuilt Sit with me oh beautiful creature Your movements penetrate the language of dreams Come with me and my golden armour Deep in tides where the waves are free Run with me and my golden karma Keeping time to life’s melody Run with me For that which you wait disdain hours Humid collisions, a bank of bouquets Concussions of bounces Desires to weep Let all thunder sway in pleats
2.
I would like to take you out tonight But I haven’t got a penny to my name All I can give you is my time And you bet that all my loving is for free You won’t forget what’s been said Deep soils of innocence The coils of thread have not been spent Although now there’s nothing left Heaven knows how I’ve tried oh so many times To get my act together but there’s more to life than looking back Joyful cries in the wind, who cares for the devil’s sting Some call it insanity but there’s more to life than vanity Clouds of memories sailing in cold sweat There is charisma in a life that’s made out of mess Folding time in envelopes never helped anyone There is no real charm in tiptoeing a cyclone So why don’t you hold my hands and just be glad We found happiness in a dream that’s made out of ash
3.
Slow wave of tragic fantasy is your perpetual fight against gravity Ghost rides of echoes of failed yesterdays is what taints every shallow step you will take In this arena called integrity I had to save any ounce of what was left of me Only risks around here I almost took was to fall into the trap of your hypocrisy Should I be angry or should I be sad Should I wear that paper mask you hold in your hand Maybe I am glad now I understand what truly makes you human Hierarchy of clocks of waves creating a crowd Is when oceans of the past begin to tie you down Your lamp post sunrise took me by surprise but it’s only in your nature to deny your own lies Still I am shaking this tambourine of hope with my shiny boat of leather streaming up the slope In this arena called integrity I had to save any ounce of what was left of me

Canigou 03:06
There are paint strokes in her hair There’s a painting left on the stairs There’s a cold wind blowing us out of care The reasons for her blank stare beckoning me to be near I’ll take one step at a time my dear Canigou! I heard you changed your ways Is it easier now you have changed your name Canigou, you know, I still love you and I’ll be coming home soon Each day became a task as you tried on all your masks Screaming you don’t know who you are As you put your fists through the glass With no resistance to what you’re asked And the candles burnt way too fast There are coffee stains on the wall There are smashed up chords on the floor You’re always lit babe with nothing to say The circumference of desire and all you resolve with your fire Is a hidden telegram of disgrace
5.
I’d like to take you down to Dericote Street Where all the beautiful people meet And the cocktails between our feet they taste so sweet Oh! The kangaroos are hopping and I’d like to stroke your teeth Oh! Say what you mean and do what you say ‘Cos I’m getting so sick of you turning me away Oh! Say what you mean and do what you say ‘Cos I’m getting so sick of myself turning you away I got through another day with cigarettes and a nice bouquet A cherry made of filter tips swimming in between your lovely lips There are no tops, there are no sides There are only splinters in our mind I feel like I am sailing back into life Oh! Rolling over London Fields with a mind that's over styled I saw yoga mats for the understood I put the truth into a hidden file Oh! Rolling over London Fields just like a Fellini film I read the subtitles written on your skin So I stuck my head into a bin The kangaroos keep running away and all that fast food is gonna decay So say what you mean and do what you…
