A suitcase and a cardigan (lyrics)
I remember what you said as you headed for the door
With a suitcase and a cardigan you had picked up from the floor
“What a night we had in Paris on the steps of the Sacré Coeur
The breeze on our backs and the city lights below.”
The memories come to play but you never graced that door again
A suitcase and a cardigan the last things I saw.
The seasons change, the years pass by, the silence no excuse
When everything is gone there’s nothing left to loose
Empty spaces hold no place for futile, last regrets
There’s not enough to remember and too much to forget
The sound of young laughter as we sheltered from the storm
All that’s left to linger of the times we knew before
I remember when we first met, that windy night in May
The leaves rustling under our feet, the clouds above the bay
But it had to come, every story has an end
One captive moment, the goodbye never said
A glance, uncertain as you turned towards the door
With a suitcase and a cardigan the last things I saw

Everybody got to choose

EVERYBODY GOT TO CHOOSE
It’s a simple complication
In the master plan
Requiring conversation
Between the master and the man
So many solutions, so easily confused
Chorus:
But everybody’s got to choose
Everybody’s got something to lose
Everybody’s got pride to bruise
But everybody’s got to choose
And the tightrope dancers
Who say they’ll never fall
Walking up on the razor edge
But their feet never leave the floor
It’s all a delusion and we’re easily amused
Chorus
In the politics of persuasion
It’s so hard to cast a vote
Like searching for the ocean’s end
In a leaking wooden boat
Call it collusion in a plan fools refuse
Chorus
And staring at the shadows
As they dance across the wall
A reflection of the twilight
Of the years we can’t recall
It’s so unimportant and how we like to accuse
Chorus

Crossing Lines
04:14
|

|
There’s a line drawn in the sand
On either side stands every man
Waiting for a moment, for their conscience to clear
But life has its little joke
And we get pushed back to the ropes
To bounce back and hope that time will let us be
Her eyes are green, her dress is blue
She waits for me and longs for you
Not everything works out, imagined in our dreams
It wasn’t always like it is
But lines are crossed and chances missed
Tomorrows come, faces become, flotsam in the stream
Chorus (2x)
Dissonance fades, crossing lines
Letting go, to best decide
What means we try to justify the ends
It’s a gamble only fools will take
A double bind, a test of fate
A burden for our backs to bear, or an ill to ease
The sun sinks low, the sky turns red
Between the lines the words are said
Meaning carried on a whim, twisted in the breeze

Dealer in lies

Verse 1
The axe has fallen so indiscreet
The children wake up from children’s sleep
Living proof of foolish lies
The politics of passion in their hungry eyes
Chorus
But there’s no love here ( 3 X )
Just the dealer, just the dealer in lies ( 3 X )
Verse 2
Scales of justice shed like skin
No more doubt as truth caves in
The answer floating across every street
Chaos in power while justice sleeps
Verse 3
A malady of gossip on every whim
Don’t think too long, click to begin
Held forever, one second wise
Misinformation in truth’s disguise
Verse 4
TV preacher, the church of self
Eternal tricks so freely dealt
Free from judgement, the righteous few
To claim their place where none is due

Not the one

NOT THE ONE
Sunshine, waterfall
Music in the trees
Gentle breeze blowing across the waves
In the clouds see the rain
But there’s time for a change
Chorus
You’re not the one
Who can say when the time is come
You’re not the one, not the one
Softly spoken words
Rumours echoed of empty walls
Like towering sentinels
Broken reason, captured spells
You name the time
But you’re wrong, so wrong
Chorus
