Don't Get Up

One day it rained so hard the roads turned to rivers
We had to stop the car and walk home uphill backwards
You came unraveled like an oily tape ribbon
Got tangled up in sodden golden leaves what we would have given
to be generous, we’re not giving musicians
Always looking in mirrors and we are once shy not bitten
You won’t get up
You look so fed up, oh baby
There are marks on my arms where you clung
Before you fell down or were flung
You won’t get up
You look so fed up, oh baby
And should I take your whole life and
wrap it up in good light and tell you not
to cry
One day it rained so hard the roads turned to rivers
We had to stop the car and walk home uphill backwards

I have a map of you
So full of holes it’s so over-folded
And I’ve traipsed all over you
While you are sleeping you’re only
sleeping
And how I fear you you cruel bacteria
She has her own map too
They have it stretched out across her chest now
And they fill her veins with blue
trying to find you
They cut a mine for you
And how we fear you with calm hysteria
We fall apart we’re built to fall apart
We all take part in this relentless
beating of the heart
We all get sick
Everyone is sick
Patience comes patience goes
Patients come patients go
And we’ve never been so scared never been
so doomed never been so sad
But we will get well soon
We all have a map of you
When you are ready we are all ready
We’ve traipsed all over you
When you are sleeping you’re only sleeping
And it is so close this fight between flesh and bone
We fall apart we’re built to fall apart
We all take part in this relentless beating of the heart
we all get sick

Take me to the waterside splash water in my eyes
Hilda take me to the rhine
and I won’t writhe I won’t fight ‘til your vision is mine
Take me to the waterside splash water in my eyes
Hilda take me to the mine and I won’t rest I won’t tire down that
heady incline
Tell me all shall be well
All shall be well
Say all manner of things shall be well
You see too much I see not enough
Hilda we will reconcile
and I’ll retire to your side and your vision will be mine
Tell me all shall be well
All shall be well
All manner of things shall be well
Take me to the waterside splash water in my eyes
Hilda take me to the grave
and I won’t rest i wont tire til you come back again
and tell me all

Loyal

They’re not speaking his language
In fact they’re yelling in some foreign horrid tongue
And they’re not his generation
Every word sounds like spitting dirt on his street
On history
And all his time is spare and all the blame is theirs
So he’s working on a secret secret in the
back shed
And the fumes go to his head
And he’s thinking about retreating south
just to stay ahead
You’ve got to stay ahead
And he says he’s Loyal
Shiver down my spine
Such a dangerous word in these times
But he lives by an eye for an eye and he’s living so sadly
And he’s amassing an army from the inside
And he’s biding time ‘til you fall out of line
Stay on his good side
It’s all fun and games 'til you lose an eye
And on the busses and in the public spaces he feels them moving in
Tapes things to his body to keep them away from him
And they’re alien with a thicker skin
and they do not love their children
And he says he’s Loyal
Shit I don’t know why
Such a dangerous word to be using in these times
But he lives by an eye for an eye and
he’s living so sadly
And he’s amassing an army from the inside
And he’s biding time ‘til you fall out of line
Stay on his good side
It’s all fun and games 'til you lose an eye

There have been moments of glory
I just couldn’t hold them I'm sorry
And the lightness of letting go
is heavier than you’d know
But I just let them go
And it’s harder than you’d think
just letting yourself sink
But I’m knee deep then I’m gone
Like Artex in the swamp
You must let me go
