AT PARADISE BORDER:

Today is not your future,
Today you’re still waiting at the lights,
Holding your mother’s hand,
Waiting to cross to the other side

(K)

AT LAUGHING HOLE:

Is that her in double denim?
Dressed for Summer in Winter,
Is that you?
Ten years before you’ll become notorious,
Twenty years before you’ll leave town and make your mark on the world

(K)

AT NEITHER BLACK OR WHITE:

Is that her pushing wheels?
A phone squeezed between her shoulder and her ear

(K)

AT PARADISE ROAD:

I was laughing without trying,
The radio was playing something soft and boring,
I was beginning to contemplate emigrating,
To somewhere with better music

(K)

AT EARTH WOUNDS:

I saw you at the traffic lights,
I was waiting to go straight,
You were dancing like a puppet

(K)

AT FOSSIL CLOTH:

Welcome to this season’s family,
The nuclear family,
The industrial family,
The Eco family,
Clinging to a ball of dirt

(K)

STRAWBERRY STAINS:

You walk in with your shiny trousers,
Your walk in with your fibreglass hair,
You walk in with your co-ordination,
You walk in and you look around,
You’re so perfect,
I bet you smell great

(K)

THE CLOAK OF INVISIBILITY:

I see nothing on a bed of velvet,
I see Black walls and a mirror reclining in a corner,
I see a Black rubber table,
Flowers of Purple and White,
I see clothes waiting for excitement hanging on a rail,
I see something hot waiting to make someone feel good,
I hear voices
