HOLD YOUR HORSES

hold your horses, stop to think, the thing to do is wait
the thing to do is wait, roll with the punches when they land
stay on the ropes, don’t go down
hold your horses the thing to do is wait, hold your horses roll with the punches
observations in unfamiliar places, dark locations - finding interesting spaces
receiving signals, sending them back, working for answers, stop to think
the grass is not greener on the other side of the fence
colours are not brighter across the river, hold your horses, stop to think
the thing to do is wait, the thing to do is wait
I walked around the city for hours, I didn’t know whether to leave or
stay
I couldn’t clear my head or make a decision, so I just kept walking, for
hours, around the city.
It was a beautiful day so I sat in a park for a while, had a coffee
and watched the kids playing. I didn’t speak to anyone, just tried to
think – leave or stay, stay or leave – then continued walking, around
the city

HALLOWEEN VAMPIRES

got away from the grind, wanting a good time, halloween nights racing around
falling out of Spit Club looking for the next buzz
speed up the ride, don’t want it to end -
halloween vampires
here’s the witch from the wrecked house, not dressed up that’s how she looks !
don’t look into her eyes ! why is she out tonight ?
monsters walking the streets, can’t sleep can’t eat
can’t slow down, still racing around -
halloween vampires

see you making your way down Geary walking Kato in the early evening
September sun
Taking the plunge getting off, not just saying it, making it up as you
go along, that’s where you find your fun
Sleep overnight in the car at Lake Tahoe painting the basement white The Cramps are on the radio
Seduced by the beauty of ‘Hot Water Music’ play the guitar with Scott wish there were some tapes of those nights
Approaching something like perfection
The bus drops you off too early to start work, looking out at the bay, at the bridge, at the island
Standing alone thinking and watching your heart is free, your mind is clear, there is no plan
Finding your way in the Ford in the city, undecided there are endless possibilities
Here comes the weekend head away from the crowd, driving and driving into the unknown
Approaching something like perfection.

DESIRE
03:58
|

|
you were just there looking and sounding impressive
effortless charm, something about you
waves of happiness, flowing from you, confident yet fragile
want to know about you
confident yet fragile want to know about you
you were standing there sometimes talking, mainly listening
playful with everyday things, something about you
waves of happiness, flowing from you, confident yet fragile
want to know about you
confident yet fragile want to know about you

TOWN
03:14
|

in the streets of another town lose your way when you walk around
in the squares, in the parks, between the buildings
days go on they don’t ever end, lose your way in another town
find a bar drink it down, drink it all the way down
walk around in the black blue night, looking up at the neon lights
make your way to the underground, here’s the place !
lose yourself in distorted sound, a spinning room the band are loud
at the bar drink it down, drink it all the way down
nights turn into days, days become your haunted nights
everyone wants to make sense of it, crashing in without brakes where
to next ?

VANISHING FIGURES
03:46
|
|||
|
what you did, what you thought or said,
all that time ago, all that time ago
it all falls away, it all falls away
faces and names lose their shape, they are vanishing figures
walking between winter trees, it all falls away, there is only today
some will see you the same, merely a brief connection
can you untangle the wires ? make something work again ?
it all falls away, it all falls away
wipe the dirt away from your eye, cut the ties, simplify
departure and arrival, never to return, it all falls away, there is only
today
