Tracing absence
Trace it back to him
To her
To you
Met with a rumour at a party
You’re back again and going soon
There you go again
In the blue of the night
Out of sight
Out of mind
But my mind’s making grand gestures
I guess this is it now
I live in a strange town now
I guess this is it now
I live in a strange town now
I went to the house of the rising sun
Perfect people
Perfect love
Perfect fun
But I couldn’t help but think about this costume for a simple man
Dressed in colourful clothing
Chain smoking
I see it all now
You’re sorry I feel this way
Some kinda power play
I didn’t ask to be muted
I didn’t speak to be erased
I guess I’ll see you on the billboards
I guess I’ll see you on the TV
I guess I’ll see you on the billboards
I guess I’ll see you on the TV
I guess I’ll see you on the billboards
I guess I’ll see you
I guess this is it now
I live in strange town now

Everyman

You’ve become my everyman
I look for you in every man
You’ve become my everyman
I look for you in every man
I thought I saw you
He’s missing out on autumn down in San Francisco
Scott McKenzie on repeat
It scored the board at Heathrow
My sister she’s in Edinburgh
New life
New plan
New man
In this grief tainted mess
We radiate strength
Absent mind
Absent friends are they watching?
Ha ha aaah
You’ve become my everyman
I look for you in every man
You’ve become my everyman
I look for you in every man
I thought I saw you
Devoted to the orchestra and new romances
He went away
Not far he’d say
Come over it’s an easy plane
But Luxembourg have closed their borders
He’s missing out on day to day
In this grief
In this mess
We radiate strength
Absent mind
Absent friends are they watching?
Ha ha aaah
You’ve become my everyman
I look for you in every man
You’ve become my everyman
I look for you in every man
I thought I saw you
Outside
Nearby (x2)
Oh no
I thought I saw you
Outside
Nearby
Oh no
I thought I saw you (x4)

Little do they know of Loophole liberation
In silent limbo
I should feel bad
I don’t feel bad
Obliged to walk the line
Attempting conversation
He’s looking down
He’s hard to read
Embarrassed by my fumbling
Perhaps he doesn’t mind it
Perhaps he’s scared to delve too deep
in case he can’t resurface
And he’s an older brother
And I’ve never felt younger
Burning with desire
Ferociously obsessive
The thrill of what’s not meant to be
I act upon my fantasy
I should feel bad
I don’t feel bad
Perhaps he doesn’t mind it
Perhaps he’s scared to delve too deep
in case he can’t resurface
And he’s an older brother
And I’ve never felt younger
An affair manifested
Thriving in freedom
Holding the power
Living off attraction
He asked for my kiss and it was sweetly intended
Commanding the stage
In the morning he’s knitting
He said “I won’t stop knitting this scarf until your return”
I regret my resisting
Handy craft is the truest form of rock and roll
It’s taken its toll
This rock and roll
It’s taken its toll
At Loophole
Little do they know

Babies

You’re in season so I’ll let you grow
I’m wholeheartedly myself
With you I’m someone else
I’m still thinking of our babies
Our babies
Our babies
I’m still thinking of our babies
Our babies
Our babies
In pursuit of love
I look up wide with child’s eyes
A feline like
tongue on your cheek on your lips
I’m regurgitating our simple pleasures
Pleading modestly without words
Save your glorious skin for mine
Your hands for mine
Your good mornings and goodbyes
We are only lovers now
You’re in season so I’ll let you grow
From committed conjoinment
we detangle in soil
This new dawn is yet to follow through
I’m over you
I’m under you
And I’m still thinking of our babies
Our babies
Our babies
This new dawn is yet to follow through
I’m over you
I’m under you
And I’m still thinking of our babies
Our babies
Our babies
You’re in season so I’ll let you grow
