SUMMER OF MARVELLI
Verse
The sun under the umbrellas
Warm like your breasts.
The fun of jumping from the rocks,
The beach, the waves, the peace
I have never experienced
And that I always dreamed of.
The jokes from the friends I’ve never had
The gentle voice
of Nanette who’s now in heaven somewhere
Watching the old days
on the coast.
on the coast.
on the coast.
Chorus
‘Soon as you’ve become familiar with this script you’ll no longer be dependent
on the’ tape of her voice
Take yourself into a grave and invite your mind for a longer rest
Verse
The summer is full on, ice creams dripping along your wrist
The taste of your fingers
All the messages I’ve kept from you
Still we are loosely tied up Outro
together by a thin plait
of emails strings. The sky is all blue now, the stormy clouds spread
apart and washed away
the gentle voice The altitude seems high,
of Nanette who’s now in heaven somewhere a body lies down near the shores.
on the coast. Will I see when the sun
on the coast. kisses the horizon line and fall in fire
watching the old days Will you call in the dark
I’ll be so far and stiffenedAnd I’ll forgive you,
on the coast. forgive me, forgive you
on the coast. I’ll try
watching the old days
And I’ll forgive you, forgive me, forgive you
Chorus I’ll try
‘Soon as you’ve become familiar with this script And then
you’ll no longer be dependent on the’ tape of her voice the monsters and the ghosts
Take yourself into a grave and invite will appear and ask me
your mind for one of a longer rest why I always leave the doors
‘Soon as you’ve rested enough, opened despite my fears,
stand up and feel the blade remains stuck in the sorest the rumours of the dark,
pockets of your heart their faces stretched by
Well now take yourself wherever, you can keep walking forever, their smiles and their eyes bleeding
the tumour lives in you, in you. and ready to explode
AIRBOAT TICKET
Verse
Do
You know where the road goes after that
How far is your house, you could wear my hat
Love your shoes and your coat, don't worry you are clever
Hope we won’t miss the airboat this time, dig out your boarding pass
Oh please don’t cry anymore, nooooo
You might wanna answer the controller and pierce
little dots in my heart so the blood leaks
out, and take it for a sweater
Candy dagger you hands are waving
Candy dagger your lips are moving
Bridge
Can't you see?
I can feel you’re trying not to scream when we drove on that bridge
in the fog and I ask if you love me and you say “well maybe”
You will never cross the border in such desperate conditions
Chorus
You might not be the right one and I might not be the right one either
And they’ll all say you’ll see
see but all you’ll hear is just “me, me me”.
Verse
In uneducated hands you will find a fresh comfort but
You will also starve at last
The uncorrupted charm of some inexperienced hands
All airboats will leave before all saltiness points are reached
And us popular on the binge.
You might wanna answer the controller and pierce
Little dots in my heart so the blood leaks
Out and take it for a sweater
Candy dagger you hands are waving
Candy dagger your lips are moving
Bridge
Can't you see?
I can feel you’re trying not to scream when we drove on that bridge
In the fog and I ask if you love me and you say “well maybe”
You’ll never cross the border in such desperate conditions
Chorus
You might not be the right one and I might not be the right one either
And they’ll all say you’ll see
See But all you’ll hear is just “me, me me”.
End
Another journey that’s been and gone
Another night that’s been too long
Another sun set that’s been and gone
Another night that’s been too long to me
BUT WE BARELY KNOW EACH OTHER
Verse
We are going too fast
You know, the day in the cemetery was just too nice,
all this sun, and your shoulders trembling, and now i feel it’ll be over soon,
Back to the vodka box
Chorus
And the lady’s jeans
And the crumbs on your summer skirt
Left little dots on my cheek
Like chicken pox
On a baby’s dream, forgive me for all this
Verse
You know all secrets and surprises
Will have a butterfly life
All secrets and surprises like drawings in the sand
We just defend
And curl in ourselves
It’s a good a lie
Chorus
And the lady’s jeans again
And the numbers on your eyes
Left little dots on my lips
Like surgery plans
On a baby’s dream after his first death
Bridge
And tomorrow back to the cinema
And tomorrow back to the cinema
Outro
This kills the usual brutal loneliness frequently fed with artificial heavens
This kills the usual brutal loneliness frequently fed with artificial heave
WHEN THE DRESSING GOWN GOES DOWN
Verse
Tomorrow is Sunday, I’ll go to her place
Mary’s probably be covered in her cotton ca-coon
You see I’m wrong side of a hour early
Despite this she opens the door & lets me in with a smile
Still living back with her parents, but has to go to work in a while
& she didn’t sleep well last night at all.
We have a little laugh to stop the aging process,
Then we go outside for a cigarette
We talk about friends, who don’t want to explore
or maybe just don’t care too much anymore.
Chorus
When her dressing gown falls down
Her costume rises from the ground
Verse
on the train we laugh again
about the girls, the music & nights out
then we jump the tube and off to Soho we go.
Big Franks on the door at the club with a nod he lets us in,
he always makes me feel wafer thin.
But with me I have my dice & a map
In case I’ve had enough of this sex club dj crap
Man she is so beautiful
The best things in life are free
some sugars been added to sweeten these bitter limes.
Chorus
When her dressing gown falls down
Her costume costume rises from the ground
Outro
When she’s dancing her set
theres times I can’t forget
We used to be together
so I jump the ship and leave my deck
think big frank might break my neck
we’ve had enough that’s for sure
The tides going out on this badly kept shore
I grab her hand, “lets get out of here”
“lets get out of here”
“lets get out of here”
“lets get out of here”
AMBROISIA
Verse
Deep light, days, suitcase, and all these skirts that would blacken my curse
coming transfer all my life
and last time when i was on another deck i ended up dancing with that "bizarre
thing"
It was a tranny and he was a bit scared
I could not see through her make up
or his or hers oh well i don't really know
I could not see through the make up all the saaaame
Bridge
I have just gone home and watch tv
and there is nothing, nothing i would watch otherwise
and i'm on my own in my room
and I have got nowhere, and I have got nowhere, and I have got no got no got
nowhere
Chorus
Woooo the silicon will shine and their lipsticks taste like Ambroisia
and my head huuuuuurts
Woooo the silicon will shine and their lipsticks taste like Ambroisia
and my head hurts, and my head hurts, and my head hurts...
Verse
Two nights later I get some money and more girls
It's all about the suitecase you seeee
and I ended up dancing with this guy
he's got this strange job as a data entry clerk
woaaa woaaa woaaa
woaaawaaawooaaawoaaaa
Bridge
Why do you? Do you dododido dodoodidoooo?
I grab the cash and the sex and all it comes
I just cannot hold it because it scrubs on my head
It's all redefined, it's coming through
Coming through all the way
Chorus
Woooo the silicon will shine and their lipsticks taste like Ambroisia
and my head huuuuuurt
Woooo the silicon will shine and their lipsticks taste like ...
My head hurts, and my head hurts, and my head hurts, and my head hurst...
My head hurts, and my head hurts, and my head hurts...
Like Ambroisia,
(I like Someone like you, I have never loved before)
Like Ambroisia,
Well you never said, you never said
Like Ambroisia,
You should have come you should have come you should have come
Like fucking Ambroisia
Like You
DALSTON BLASTER
VERSE 1
SHE ALWAYS CALLS AT NIGHT
AND THREATENS TO COME HERE RIGHT AWAY
HER VOICE TREMBLES WITH PROMISES
HER ENVY, HER ENVY’S ALREADY HERE
NOT SURE YOU NEED ME ACTUALLY
IT’S ONLY YOU, IT’S ONLY YOU
CHORUS
IF ONLY I COULD SEIZE
A DALSTON BLASTER IN MY HAND,
GRAB ALL OF HACKNEY BY THE SLEEVES
AND SMASH THE CONCRETE
AGAINST THE WALLS
VERSE 2
THE MIND GOES CRAZY FIRST
AND THE BODY JUST CANT HANDLE IT
I CAN’T SEE A THING WITH ALL THOSE BALLOONS
IT’S NOT A QUESTION OF WANTING TO IMPRESS,
BUT YOU JUST
CAN’T SIT
THERE AND DO NOTHING
BRIDGE
SOMETHING IS HAPPENING
THE PROCESS WHEREBY GROWTH EMERGES
OUT OF PREDICTIVE DORMANCY
SHE SAYS
“ SORRY MY HEART IS AN AIRPORT YOU SEE”
CHORUS
IF ONLY I COULD SEIZE
A DALSTON BLASTER IN MY HAND,
GRAB ALL OF HACKNEY BY THE SLEEVES
AND SMASH THE CONCRETE
AGAINST THE WALLS
OUTRO
THERE IS A FLOW SPRINGING OUT
OF NOWHERE
SURPRISING THE ROCKS IN THEIR SILENCE
THE BIRTH OF GENERATIONS OF THOUGHTS
STROKE WITH CANCERS, TURNING INTO BLACK
AND THEIR SCREAMING CALLS
AND THEIR
