The Affectionate Punch

I'm here, you're there
I'm here, here's your share
Take your share
I'm here, you're there

Just in case... just in case

When I say I
I mean, many, I mean many
When I say I
I mean, many, I mean many
Just in case... just in case

Amused As Always

Praise be to chance
For meeting us here
We cannot dance
We dance by ear
Feet tap in time
Out in the streets
We walk in straight lines
Like some naval fleet

And still we're trying
To find some interesting things to say
Let's talk of a manor or the affluent way
For what its worth amused as always,
Amused as always, amused.

Don't be so sure of days in advance
They might never come
Praise be to chance
Praise be to chance
For setting no rules
The chance it might take
May never be cruel.

And still we're trying
To find some interesting things to say
Let's talk of a manor or the affluent way
For what its worth amused as always,
Amused as always, amused.

Praise be to chance
For meeting us here
We cannot.

Logan Time

I know your heartbeat inside out
I hear a voice within its shout
To a blank silhouette,
Stenciled doubts spin the spine
Logan time, Logan time.

I caught me looking at myself
I caught me looking at myself
Now my voice deep with age
Talks in tongues of younger days
Logan time, Logan time.

Logan time, Logan time, Logan time.
I talk such nonsense while asleep
I lie for hours without your heat
Now the cough, nervous cough
Twitches on and twitches off
Logan time.

Logan time, Logan time,
Logan time, Logan time.

Logan time, Logan time,
Logan time, Logan time.

Logan time, Logan time,
Logan time, Logan time.

Paper House

I built a house high on a hill,
I built a house, built it quite still
Use it on days when you feel need
Paper house stay paper house stay.

This gift exists if you accept
This gift exists will it be kept
Daughter I'm yours, flesh blood and still
I can't show warmth paper house will.

You give me great comfort
Although your not born
She'll sing and dance
And he'll be a surgeon
You'll give me great comfort
Although your not born
She'll sing and dance
And he'll be a surgeon
And I'll spend my last days alone
And abroad
Oh! Independence

There's a garden at the bottom.

There's a garden at the bottom.

There's a garden at the bottom.

Transport To Central

Transport to central
We need more like him,
Do all in your power
To keep him alive
His jawline's not perfect
but that can be altered
We've waited so long
For this one, to arrive.

Care and attention
Is all that is needed
The rest we can leave
Till some progress begins
We want some answers
To some of our questions
Till then we must wait
For the man from Peking.

The man from Peking
We first found a hand
The hand that pointed west
There the rest lay in sand.

Transport to central
We need more like him,
His jawline's not perfect
But that can be altered
His jawline's not perfect
But still interesting
Enough, enough.

Transport to central, We need more like him,
His jawline's not perfect but that can be altered
His jawline's not perfect but still interesting
Transport to central, we need more like him.

Transport to central, We need more like him,
His jawline's not perfect but that can be altered
His jawline's not perfect but still interesting
Transport to central, we need more like him.

Transport to central, We need more like him,

A Matter Of Gender

I will admit it
That you're something special
I'm now convinced
Marguaritte.

The flame may be hot
But you can't resist it.
To know is to touch
Marguaritte
Mama mama, Marguaritte
Marguaritte, Marguaritte.

I don't know whether
To over or under estimate you
Whether to over or under estimate you
For when I come over
You then put me under
Personal taste is a matter of gender
Marguaritte.

Don't let slip my name
While you're making love
Say you were dreaming
Marguaritte.

Thou shalt not commit
The seventh commandment
Most precious of all
Marguaritte.
Mama mama, Marguaritte.
Marguaritte, Marguaritte.

I don't know whether
To over or under estimate you
Whether to over or under estimate you
For when I come over
You then put me under
Personal taste is a matter of gender
Marguaritte.

Even Dogs In The Wild

Somewhere deep in the night
There's a child on his own
And his pulse isn't there
And the house is aglow
With the light from outside
Well the house is aglow.

There's a mattress downstairs
Full of brown peppered holes
And the horse hair is coarse
Not as coarse and as rough
As the rash thoughts that never heal sores.

Even dogs in the wild,
Even dogs in the wild,
Even dogs in the wild,
Even dogs in the wild,
Even dogs in the wild,
Even dogs in the wild.

Dogs in the wild in the wild
Dogs in the wild in the wild
Dogs in the wild.

Even dogs in the wild
Could do better than this
Even dogs in the wild
Will protect and will care for
Whatever means most to them.

Even dogs in the wild
Could do better than this
Even dogs in the wild

Whatever means most to them.

Even dogs in the wild,
Even dogs in the wild,
Even dogs in the wild,
Even dogs in the wild,
Even dogs in the wild,
Even dogs in the wild.

Dogs in the wild in the wild
Dogs in the wild in the wild
Dogs in the wild.

Even dogs in the wild,
Even dogs in the wild,
Even dogs in the wild,
Even dogs in the wild.

Would I... Bounce Back

Picked it up, looked at it
Then pondered for a moment
Picked it up looked at it
Then threw it as far as I could
I threw it as far as I could
It bounced back.
Bounce back, bounce back, bounce back.

Looked at it, picked it up
For a moment I pondered
Looked at it, picked it up
I couldn't get through to it then
I couldn't get through to it then
Bounce back,
Bounce back,
Bounce back,
Bounce back,
Bounce back,
Bounce back.

You always take offence so easily
You always take offence so easily
But my defence will overwhelm you
When it bounced back
Bounce back, bounce back, bounce back.

If I threw myself from the ninth storey
Would I levitate back to three
Well would I?

Deeply Concerned

Janis came took your clothes
Took your clothes
Janis came took your clothes
No one knows
Where she went to where she went to
Last time we heard that she went to

In the time it took to call you
In the time it took to call you
Which was seconds, merely seconds
Last time we heard she was crying... crying

We feel for you deeply concerned
If you need us, We'll be helpful
Hopefully.
