The City That Swallowed The Stars
After the film had finished
We discussed it in the car
We both said that it was
So bad it made us laugh
And at the time it didn’t mean much to me
But now I believe
Runners dressed as superheroes
Fund raising for the children’s hospital
Waved as I walked my dog past
Where they were due to start
And at the time it didn’t mean much to me
But now I believe
That when I feel
Like I’m lost in the sea
Or that I’m a monkey stuck up
A prickly puzzling tree
Well that’s when these things
They come right back to me
And I’m pleased that you were standing with me
That night the sunset shimmered between
The tower block and boarded up shops
And made the traffic wardens
Forget that they had to ruin someone’s day
Now I’m inclined to think that everything will be fine
In good time
So if your days are heavy
And the city’s swallowed the stars
Reach and hold a friendly hand
I’m so proud that you’ve made it this far

Do the Los Alamos Bug Dance
The sunrise beat on
The nightmares and flung
Monsters right out of cupboards
Spiders back into corners
We’ve won
Do the Los Alamos bug dance sweetheart
We’re breathing and laughing
And hell that’s a good start
Willows are weeping while we’re
Sleeping but surely your hear
Springtime is near
The more I study
Your face I know that
Your smile lines will be the most
Beautiful cracks in the coast
As we float
Do the Los Alamos bug dance sweetheart
We’re breathing and laughing
And hell that’s a good start
There’s still a lighthouse burning
Through every stormy evening
Just keep looking
Do the Los Alamos bug dance sweetheart
We’re breathing and laughing
And hell that’s a good start
There’s not one part of you of
That I could not claim to love
Do you know that?
