AMBER GREEN:

What makes you happy?
It’s about time I knew,
Stick your hand in a paper bag,
And call it a glove puppet
(K)

A LINGERING DELAY:

Loose the nonsense,
It doesn’t work,
That’s the whole other story,
Who’s got control?
Who’s phone is ringing?
Don’t sneeze on me!
I need to breath!
To tired to sleep,
Until I sit behind the wheel

(K)

LONE RANGER:

There’s a woman laughing into the palm of her hand,
As two beards discuss a sunken boat,
A dazed & fragile man walks in with a powdered complexion,
And a haircut you could land a helicopter on,
The room fills with young men who have become old men,
Returning to relive past memories,
Their t-shirts have gone from ’S’ to ‘XL’,
But they still know how to swagger,
You should have seen them back when,
They were magnificent

(K)

FALLEN HORSE:

Mr Guttural emerges from his hotel room,
“Mornin’”,
The muscle twins exit the lift,
In tattoos & polka-dot bows,
Wrong floor,
The waitress tells me all the names of all the things on offer,
Like she’s retelling the legend of the making of a nation,
But she’s never heard of Darjeeling,
Smiling sweet,
Asks my name & number,
The last name I’ll every use,
The first name I was given

(K)

BEHIND IN FRONT OF THE POLE:

Make believe you’re thinking something great,
Get taller for the opposite sex,
Smile for camera,
Arrive,

Fishtail shadow,
In a sunset sky,
I’d like to read your mail,
But I haven’t got time

(K)

CLEAN BOUQUET:

The noise in here is deafening!
I’m going to go,
But I’ll be back,
Clear a space for something great to happen,

Streetlight through a plastic wall,
Cool guy with a broken leg,
One hour into the future makes all the girls laugh

(K)

BETWEEN COLUMNS:

It’s off the scale,
You don’t have to ask me anything,
Go ahead,
Do it all yourself,
I’ll do my own thing somewhere else,
Start again,

Look,
Here comes an amazing thing,
A message

(K)

SNARLING SAILOR BIRD CHAIR:

Are you good?
Yeah I’m good,
Have you been away?
Yeah I just got back,
Where have you been?
Don’t ask

(K)

CARTOON SKY:

When I was a ploughman,
I knew how to plough a straight furrow,
And how to straighten a crooked one

(K)

WHEN CLEANERS CALLED ‘MY DARLING’:

I was born in a small town,
Where there were no White suits,
Suits only came out on Sundays,
Chicken was in the basket
