OH SOPHIE!:

You’re more powerful than industry

(K)

YOU’VE GOT A NICE HOUSE:

Next to the golf course,
You’ve got balls,
All over your grass,
The sun is shining,
The earth is moving fast,
Towards it’s rendezvous

(K)

BIRDS DON’T LET THE NIGHT GET THEM DOWN:

Not like I let you,
They sing before the sun comes up,
They got it sussed,
One day you’ll find me in a tree

(K)

SO THIS FACE TURNS TO LOOK:

A weathered blonde,
Looks for too long,
Mistletoe,
Silver birch,
Orange peel,
A long way from anywhere full-on

(K)

THE SCENERY SLIPS AWAY:

A voice intones the names of places we may never see again,
A heavy suitcase rolled between Blue velveteen

(K)

SILENCE:

Then,
Two voices,
Ask each other questions

(K)

TRAIN AGAIN:

Now I’m on that train,
Ticket’s punched,
Everyone is listening to somewhere else

(K)

THEY’RE PLAYING CARDS TONIGHT:

On the last night,
The first of all the others back on earth,
They’re collecting glasses in the bars,
And no one’s calling time,
Deal the cards,
I’ll watch your back

(K)

COUNTING THE STATIONS:

And the names of the places,
And the faces looking down,
Ignoring,
Getting out,
Walking

(K)

HOW DID I GET HERE?:

I woke up

(K)
