Can I take you up / on that offer of a ride into town
I got a puncture on my way home last night
Gonna make it up to you / Gonna help you if you're in a jam
It's not a debt it's just what we do
Promises we make are not backed up by the state, it's mutual aid
You can't sell it on
You can call in a favour
It could happen to any one of us
You've seen me through these ups and downs
So down be afraid to ask for help when you need it most
The shame wizard knows me well
So he comes when I'm alone

Night Owl

Night owl
Fleeting concentration / Darkness like the wind
The picture dances in and out of focus
A rucksack full of dirty clothes and notebooks
All of lifes' lessons to be learned
Night owl
Passes by in the daylight / Shuffles down the avenue
Each and every one
Hypnotised by bright lights, well oiled machinery
The age of wonder is dead and gone
Imaginations caked in rust
Night owl
Heed my warning:
There's snakes in the grass, the likes of which you've never known
The prison's getting full of petty criminals
Thank god you have a choice of anything but meaning
It's a war that rages on and on,
Of more than two sides
To what am I opposed?

Slow Dance
Raise a cup
To all the songs we love
The ones we don't know the words of
Slow Drive
All through the night
When they bring the lights back up, and there's nowhere else to go
I don't want to ask too much of you, you're already thinking of me
But you got me on the edge of my seat
I'm wondering when you'll check in
Slow Dance
Cause the best of friendships
Are always an easy kill
It's the postcards and little things
Always keeping them alive
It only took a year
And suddenly we're strangers
You don't write or call me up
I don't either and it's sure been deafening the two of us
The station crackles with your voice
Brings me comfort to begin with, then it chills me to the bone
Next time don't leave it so long
If you want to be alone why don't you so?
Next time don't leave it so long
To cut cut cut me out
Cause you cut cut cut me now

Let You Down

Trying hard is relative
There's more than one way to avoid a question
Setting the bar so low
I close my eyes rather than watch you go
Nothing's just too good to name
When the words run out there's nothing in between
The nihilist in both of us
Was looking for the beauty in all that we fucked up
I let you down, I'm sorry
Trying hard is relative
There's more than one way to say "I miss you"
But nothing just works itself out
You run out of road and there's only one thing left to talk about
So let's talk about it.
When anywhere but home feels better
Hourly reminders of a poorly veiled truth
And that's a classic cancer move
I still want all your attention
When I was never generous enough with my time to give it up
The blame falls mostly on me
I let you down
I guess it's over now
