Top Deck

I like the top deck when it’s empty
When there’s only outside and me
And every road a moment of possibility
The movement can be most diverting
The hairpin corners disconcerting
I like to think that one day soon maybe you will ride with me
I like the branches lashing into the top deck
I like the moisture misting over the top deck
I like the views and to rendezvous on the top deck
The sunlight splits through trees and railings
Producing stroboscopic patterns
I let my mind surrender to suggestion in the shapes
The music in my ears
The music in my ears
The music in my earphones is distorting

Technicolor Universe

You’re the only thing I feel sure about
And work can go to the wall
You’re technicolor in a grey, grey universe
You’re technicolor in a grey, grey universe
In peace here as I lay with you
The traffic’s distant and small
It’s all I long for, to stay in your universe
Yeah it’s all I long for, to stay in your universe

Box it up and seal it down
Take them all around
Take them all around
Faces meet you with a frown
They don’t like that sound
They say they don’t like that sound
Strip the tables take it down
Take it down right now
You’ll take it all down now
Nothing sold here in this town
Never sing aloud
They’ll never sing this aloud

Architecture Weekly

The futures spring up everywhere
Flattening failed thoroughfares and walks
Patterns of shaft modernity
There’s scaffolding around half the city
We are building for aspiration
We are building for luxury
Do you see yourself in here in eighteen months’ time?
Behind the most expensive windows devised
With a full view of the roundabout
Full view of some other flats
Filtered light through triple glazing
Filtered air through constant fans
Hey ho! Ring out the bells boys
Open the window and ring out the bells
Hey wow! If you look in the paper
Do you see what they say boys?
We’re all going to hell!
We are building for professions
We are building for careers
Can you see yourself round here in eighteen months’ time?
Beneath the most expensive rents devised
With a fully hiked-up overdraft
Full disclosure, full extent
Full quota of overworking
Home eleven, fully spent
Hey ho! Ring out the bells boys
Open the window and ring out the bells
Hey wow! If you look in the paper
Do you see what they say boys?
We’re all going to hell!
Hey ho! Reclaim the city
No don’t take it softly, but damn them to hell
Hey kids! Drink up we’re leaving
To replant a garden,
Dig a fishpond as well

Have you ever driven past me on the motorway?
Do you think about me during your busy day?
Does he do anything that reminds you of me?
Tell me please
Hug me please
See me please
Tell me please
Hug me please
See me please, oh
Have you ever passed me on the motorway
In your car?
Do you ever think about me wherever you are?
Oh, tell me please
Come on and squeeze me please
Just see me please
Just see me

A person is now a memory
And all that remains, fragmentary
I try to recover the words and the order
And piece them together anew
The train passed your town and I wished I could stop
The train passed your town
Cold pressed regrets and might’ve beens
Ghosts in the system, hauntology
The words and the order are set now for ever
I’m cut up, it’s all I can do
The blues are out of phase
The chroma dots a stain
Deep etching in the frame
Can’t clean it up again
Last signal from the shore
Can’t see you any more
Can’t hear you any more
No hope for any more
No hope for any more
