Frame It

Home saw me down, saw me broke, saw me lay without a voice
I could steer but with ears I could hear.
Couldn’t see ahead only the present that was fighting, fighting just because.
Don’t wanna ever go back to the sinking feeling, don’t wanna ever go back to the sinking feeling
Distractions came, let them in, trash the place so I’ll recall all the lessons, ever new, ever present.
Frame it is the part is distance step back, that’s what art is, always knew it was.
Don’t list the faults, list the pro’s, list the things you never knew that were golden till you thought they’d been stolen. Fighting for a reason, ever moment every season, every new found cause.
Don’t wanna ever go back to the sinking feeling, don’t wanna ever go back to the sinking feeling
Home saw me down, sow me broke, saw me lay without a voice I could steer but with ears I could hear. Couldn’t see ahead only the present that was fighting, fighting just because

The Waters Edge

I won’t go where the waters angry flowing.
I won’t wade, fight against, where the current is strong
I’ll just drift; carry on, as I move ever close to the water’s edge.
Drop my hand feel the depth as I float above it,
watch the clouds, laying back on a liquid mass
Tide so soft and slow, imperceptible here by the water’s edge.
Always had, all that’s good, soothing
See that drop, ripple on, moving
Don’t forget waters confusing.
I won’t go where the waters angry flowing.
I won’t wade, fight against, where the current is strong
I’ll just drift; carry on, as I move ever close to the water’s edge

Hipsters

Hipsters all the same you're where its at, fixed gear bike chained out the back, in your 1940s hat, look like a fucking twat. Well groomed beard and posing tache, you've got a fender roadworn strat and you're a fucking twat.
Guys in tweed in the summer looking out for girls wearing clothes their grandma once threw out, acting like a little geeky bettie paige fan, rocking a bowtie with a head band.
You say you skateboard but your board is squeaky clean
and all those canisters are just for whipping cream
when its minus 5 degrees
you'll still be wearing sandals and a flat cap
Hipsters all the same you're where its at,
you only use an apple mac and plan your life around and app
and you're fucking twat
Hipsters all the same you're where its at,
you've re-watched all of breaking bad but now your way too cool for that and you're fucking twat
Everything about you is boutique artisan
you shop when the pop-up marktet's on
you hate technology and tweet to tell your friends
(you're being ironic though everyone knows you and your sarcasm)
cold brewed coffee, retro vinyl loving man
an ironic tattoo done on your hand,
from the NQ to camden locks, you like mathrock
Hipsters all the same you're where its at,
you've got a vintage french cravat
your dog is small than a cat
and you're a fucking twat
Hipsters all the same you're where its at,
the pulled pork now contains no fat
a chalkboard menu taught your that
and you're a fucking twat

Nothing's New

sometimes we all forget to try
and think its over complex as the years go by
don't get too hung up on the grudges you've amassed
it isn’t possible to change the things that passed
noting new its just the way you see it
and what you see's not always going on
nothings new its just the you who think it is
you study mirrors far too long
one pupils slightly larger than the other
coz wonder about things gets you pretty far
but never gets you further than right where you are

All Of The Time

Time made good, ride this glow,
secure of self you know. And eyes open too wide to miss.
A calculated risk is suddenly the only way to live
Study this it’s what you caught, the positive projected onto thought.
We shouldn’t forget, the stupor that surrounds all this.
It’s now revealed to see for all of you who said it don’t exist.
Concentrate, firmer grip and can we drop the subject now.
It’s simple to see, it’s as your guess assures,
and praying’s well and good as long as the thoughts are yours.
Half-forgotten is the way that we lose the sublime.
Ever wondered how we weigh what is gone?
And it isn’t hippy crap that we all should give more,
just give more.
And I’ll give it my all,
all of the time
