I've been with you for a fairly long time
May I call you, may I call you, may I call you mine? And you, unknown, have been with me May it always, may it always, may it always be Please don't leave my side, remember I love you None of what I have done wrong was really done against you If you love me, and I'm weak, then weaker you must love me more To re-enforce what's also strong and all the love we have in store By example you show me that living's alright Stay here with me, stay here with me, stay with me tonight And come with me when I go into the bedroom And we'll play bride, and we'll play bride, and we'll play bride and groom If you had not been born you know What would I, what would I be then? I would not have had strength to grow And be counted, and be counted among men Please don't leave my side, remember I love you None of what I have done wrong was really done against you If you love me, and I'm weak, then weaker you must love me more To re-enforce what's also strong and all the love we have in store In the morning we'll wrestle and ruin our stomachs with coffee Won't we be, won't we be, won't be happy And we will rise in anger, love and ardour Shining, shining, shimmering in love's armour |

I wrote a careless love
"Love me not for I'm above Above a cloud all flat and white And with another love tonight" And then a careless love By weighty cloud above Was ground into the floor To loving breathe no more Lady as I leave you Limp on the floor Distorting our voices Slamming the door I say sorry I say bye bye I say miss you I say cry cry |

There is grime on my face
There is crust in my eye There is no-one in the place But no-one said goodbye This is how I start another day in my kingdom There is hate in my heart This is how my day starts There is blood on my hands From the murder of a man This is how I start another day in my kingdom And where is my queen She's as gone as can be She was a fine looking lady And she liked to go down on me And I liked to go down on her too In Indya there's the taj On good times there was rog And here-ee look and see All there is is me This is how I start another day in my kingdom This is how I start another day in my kingdom There are good times to be had Only insane's really bad The lord and I agree It's not too off to be What we are As long as we're royalty You fuck and what's to do (you fuck!) It's not your kingdom too |

Just to see my holly home
Evil jack he walks alone Swings a club and stinks something awful We'll give him a painful jawful Sarah walks a slinky strut Very gorgeous and anxious slut Has a love scar on her wrist We'll give her our painful fist Just to see my holly home Just to see my holly home We will live just us alone Safely in our holly home In come babies one, two, three Like to bounce them on our knee Want to stay and grow up with us Baby stew will surely fill us Just to see my holly home Just to see my holly home We will live just us alone Safely in our holly home Pound them down and pound them out All the ladies scream and shout Hide their bodies in the reeds Shallow bed of soil and leaves Out will grow ideas and laughter Up will rise our earthly daughter Water floods and all upon it Up upon our bloody planet Now we've ended all who'd harm us No one left here to alarm us And we live just us alone Safely in our holly home Just to see my holly home Just to see my holly home We will live just us alone Safely in our holly home Just to see my holly home Just to see my holly home We will live just us alone Safely in our holly home |

Eloquent, I soon retire
To nothing else I may aspire After I've made love to you In the dark I see you glisten To your breath I lay and listen After I've made love to you In your arms I'm softly resting Memories of you undressing And your lips my final blessing I never knew The embrace that I'd been lacking Has been found with kisses smacking And two bodies there attacking I and you Baby why don't we feel guilty Why's it seem we're doing right When we're doing something filthy In a rented room tonight I think it's cause we love the now We love forever love, and how And my life's your love, anyway And your life's my love, everyday You are mine oh now forever Think of you always wherever After I've made love to you After I've made love to you |

I took her on a simple trip
To see her husband's family And on the way upon her hip Was laid my head down gently All due respect was meant and all The winds were in agreement That this was answering the call Of awkward and true feeling A fireman here husband was And so to give him duty I duly tried to light a fire Upon his rightful booty But beauty was my treasure then As through the hills I drove her And taught her that another man Could have made love to her Strange is good if it is kept A secret with the "lovers" Who love there mates and love themselves And need the love of others Through the window I could see The fields and clouds all passing As in the passenger position Eleanor was thrashing I stopped the car we got a beer And then eased down the road A little guilt, and some guilt spilt And added to our load |

I took road and said goodbye
Friends go one way I went mine I got lost then very quickly Started shaking feeling sickly In the lion lair, in the lion lair Watch your own self and take care I am outside, almost one with All the life in the lion lair All alone and all around Canyon clept above the ground There was treeless flat around me And no evil came and found me In the lion lair, in the lion lair Watch your own self and take care I am outside, almost one with All the life in the lion lair Stars came out in midday burning Earth grumbled stones were churning Colors red were rocks and sky And powered glint infused the eye Had himself in no time at all Hand on shaft and gripped his ball Wished your mouth would come down on it Feel your lips sink warm upon it In the lion lair, in the lion lair Watch your own self and take care I am outside, almost one with All the life in the lion lair Beast and bird they called me kin Bathed me and they tucked me in Laid down on the forest ground Stars above they shone on down In the lion lair, in the lion lair Watch your own self and take care I am outside, almost one with All the life in the lion lair In the lion lair, in the lion lair Watch your own self and take care I am outside, almost one with All the life in the lion lair |

Mrs. William, where is William?
Where has William go? You know you shouldn't Come into a place like this alone Now if you'd like to sit here at my table, I'll abide But it isn't usually my thing to do anothers bride I'll sell my heart, I'll sell my brain I'll sell my love and all my fame My mother maybe And my brother too To raise the stake to pay for you To get you from his side And then I'll watch, keep one eye open Halfway fearing, halfway hoping That blackguard boy with handsome muscle Disturb your sleep with tiny tussle And earn by stealing Mrs. William Mrs. William gone again But with your eyes and with your aura You'll never leave this place alone I have you always, the taste of us coming You'll make the beasties and the flora You're part of our eternal home Humble and bow down |

Born in sheep's blood plain and simple
Washed out of my mother's temple All around I heard them laughing As father sheep had stood there calving Black they were, with white eyes gleaming Right in heaven life was seeming Brittle wind blew snow upon me I got blanketed all white and frosty In my time I grew and killed them Or out of memory I willed them And willed in a greater history Out of massacre and mystery Was no longer wealthy, woolly Nor anything I could grasp fully Someone rush to re-inject me God of gods, won't you protect me? Fixed my face and marching onward Marching running ever forward Buildings were a bloody vessel Edging me below the trestle There in coal and whitened gravel I built a shield of wooden baffle Inside of which I raised a fire So I could tonight retire Everyone will tell you it's evil to be A free-thinking pecker like bonnie old me But I'll flex my armies and blow out my gut And prove I'll be loved by any old slut Look here in my wallet, it's loaded and true And now I can leave here and go and find you |

All and all is one thing today
One good effort made on its way To take in a love and pass on a feeling Of heart in chest slowly unpeeling Lilly can take it with a smile and not a frown In the room where she lives blessed I guess She wears my favor and shows it around And in doing so I too get blessed Rules explode and we call her mine And she has my baby and things are fine She can't hold her eyes still or her voice The way nooses hold necks still in excellent poise Lilly can take it with a smile and not a frown In the room where she lives blessed I guess She wears my favor and shows it around And in doing so I too get blessed Jug holds a gallon and you hold my arm And I hold a million in bottle and yarn And gem isn't sacred when mother has breathed You know - you told me that A shark and a dog - now you're laughing The dog licks the shark dry in your photographing And I lick you dry until you're laughing My finger is in your behind I woke up fat and almost unhappy But the bigger the laugh the bigger the belly And I bellow out and the whole bed it shakes And you smile at my laugh as it rocks you awake |
