First Base Scenario

On a ride, I wonder where I'll get off
Dizzying but pleasant feeling of love
Ask her on a date
Think of things to say!
When she's yours hold on tight
Watch the ride
Don't you ever go astray from her
Left her top; inhaling her perfume scent
Butterflies, you'll speak to her on the phone
Insomnia grows
Need your beauty sleep
When she's yours hold on tight
Watch the ride
Don't you ever go astray from her
Take a breath, alighting in the fresh air
Overjoyed; your heart continues to pound
She's a vision

I'm sitting on a wall scared to get on down
Are you to be my judge if I slip or fall
I should have spoken first but I just missed out
Self-analysing bound in a human skull
Wake me up when it's over I'll make my own escape
Wrestling with the notion that we own our own mistakes
Simple things are oft obscured by feelings moored in being abhorred
We bottle up and bottle out; the subtle doubts of what is in store keeps us shored
I'm not ashamed to think, too ashamed to say
I'm gonna snap right out of this frame of mind
I cultivate 'ideas', you can keep 'ideal'
'Flawed' only makes our voice individual

Regular Night, Eddies Number Eight with the guys,
Swigging K and giving myself whiplash
banging to Slain By Elf, spy her singing
She wears black almost all the time
Eyes thrown wide!
Quenching the fog, dry ice!
Adrenaligned! Feel Spiked!
I wander off for a pint…
…Unrequited
She's crowded by such unworthy suitors
...as I dance by her side
'Big Mac And Fries…' PWEI
Part of me dies as they call time
She's dressed slack almost all the time
Plaid shirt and dyed hair, ripped jeans: flesh paradise
After they turn on the lights
Each to their own, and back to mine?
Ask… Her…. Out…………….
Self-satisfied,.homeward bound smile on the 5
'N' for the 'night', 'now's the time', 'never give up', 'name your prize'.
5N smiles!

Time Replacer Piece

Fevered, wandering too far and gone
Whispered expletives, pretend I'm young
These eyes are wild today
greet life
Feel like a final play
Chi bright
I wanna see it ALL tonight!
This is the vacant look I like
Can time replace a piece of me?
It can but even try!
Hammered vodka back in the day
No longer tolerant crunk off three ales

Just because your friends wanna go outside; so what?
You've got the spark of a song at the far end of your heart
And even when she begs for moments of your time - don't budge
You've got the spark of a song at the tip of your own tongue
the tip of your own tongue!
So pay a little bit of me in mind
pay a little bit of me in mind
pay a little bit of me in mind
If death is not the end then grieve in your own time - shut up!
We've got the spark of a drum makes me wanna tap my thumbs
And just like 2012 - come rain and fire and hell - What luck!
At least a two minute warning's enough to write some punk
enough to write some punk
So pay a little bit of me in mind
pay a little bit of me in mind
pay a little bit of me in mind
And talk to me in music please or don't bother talking at all

One Foot In Malais

Purposely make the brow a little high
People our age are very little fun
Exponential forever growing wide
The gulf between our types
Try for Pan but they settled for old eyes
Drain the colours out of us
Put away toys - and never realised
They'd forget how to dance
We'll stop yawning when you work it out
One foot in malaise
You're weighed down and you're struggling (weak)
The grey sound pouring in your ears (breathe)
You're spaced out - claustrophobic end (squeeze)
This beige house - you are haunting it (scream)
physical form - we eloquently lie
credit made everything real
build a world now for FREE
and nominal fees
Life's not boring: Are you bored enough?
One foot in malaise
