Submarines

You won’t catch the wave you wanted to
‘Cuz its not the way you’re made
To communicate is not so easy
You fly by now, what to do
Search for a week to make you believe
People move of their own free will
Collectively fine, individually damned
I planted seeds, expressed the sounds
The love you give is a love that you can’t lose
No closer now than before
We might be submarines
The more I know, the less I see
Wear your warpaint ’til it fades
Just thank god you don’t bruise easy
Wrap your arms around the world
And watch the people re-appear
The love you give is a love that you can’t lose
No closer now than before
We might be submarines
The more I know, the less I see

Unheard Cassettes

Your mind is a wasteland
Filled with dust and bones and metal wrecks
Your heart beats when you want it to
But you don’t seem to get much rest
There’s unread books and unheard cassettes
Of ideas you had at the time
Don’t you open those letters boy
This ain’t the place for regret
The words don’t flow like they used to
When they do they mean so much more
It’s hard to remain satisfied
When homogeneity opens the door
You used to have an inventive mind
Though you stole from the songs from before
Now there is nothing like thinking like
What’s given is not always right

Damaged Kids

Do you hide from all the things you know?
Under the endless waterfall
You can blame no-one but yourself
You’ve got to take control
We might be damaged kids
It’s in your face, your politic
Take a stand
‘Cuz there’s no better time
Don’t burn your flag too soon
This is no place to believe in
They look you in the eye but they’re not listening
One day we’ll own this place

Every Book

Every book I ever read
Was for the sister I never had
What does loss feel like
You don’t know what you know
Until you’ve been told
What does loss feel like
If you trip over your rope
Just don’t talk at all
What does loss feel like
Every book I ever read
Was for the sister I never had
What does loss feel like

Partizan

Believe in your people, they will keep you free
Y’can’t tell if you’re the problem or the curse
Is this the end game, are we over now
Sandanista slogans will take ya far
I’m gonna dig a graveyard for the homophobes
Racists, mysogynists and one per cent
It’s a violation, to have an opinion
When free speech is used as a weapon
There’s a partial kind of feeling
It’s the conscience of a better day
Don’t give up on the meaning
Stand until you fall
Now hear the good man, as he whispers in your ear
D’you take me for all I am?
You’ve got a problem, I see that you’re the cause
It’s just a case of forgetting who you are
Don’t be blindsided by illiberal misgivings
Take the right and burn them to the ground
This ain’t no freak show, it’s a 1930’s cartel
And they’re knocking down your door
