I try hard to want you
I work like a mule
I'm trying hard to see
The good in you
But you keep blocking the view
I'm watching it burn
I watch the Hills Hoist turn
I'm watching the shovel
Dividing the worm
Both of my halves
Wish you'd return
Wish you'd return
I'm not even sure why I am calling
I sort of hope that you'll ignore it
I sort of hope that you'll ignore it
The storm's hanging low
Dragging its toes
The morning has floated
Off with the smoke
Both of my halves
Licked clean off the bone
Licked clean off the bone
I'm not even sure why I am calling
I sort of hope that you'll ignore it
I sort of hope that you'll ignore it
Horizon is lined
With iodine
Neighbour's gaze finds
Mine over the fence
Both of my halves wish you were different
I can't stop the spin
Long enough to bring the washing in
What did I say to make your lip curl ?
I watch the Hills Hoist turn
I try hard to want you
I work like a mule
I'm trying hard to see
The good in you
But you keep blocking the view.

Cement

Every now and then I check
I check if I forget you yet
Although I know you're the cement
That's poured into me and has set
And there's the back of your head
Every now and then I beg
I get down on the bitumen
I beg for you to find success
Let it get you a plane ticket
And there's the back of your head
Every now and then my breath
Threatens to not come again
The corner of my eye detects
The corners of your silhouette
And there's the back of your head.

When Will You

Thin air has given me so much
The line of your hair, your forefinger
Thin air listens when a good pup
Whimpers with its lip turned up,
When will you come around ?
Moth wings and the rain on the tin
That card each time I pass the fridge
A head that bobs like a dashboard dog
And ears that ring, from wondering,
When will you come around ?
My jaw didn't just drop
It swung right off,
When will you come around ?

Song Under Sink

This fridge needs filling and this bench needs wiping
Was meant to save my money up and go
This is making a living but I swear I'm dying
Nothing I didn't earn though
Look at your picture - pick my favourite features
Fingers stretch out for the phone
But fold them back up just before they reach it
Tongue so bit, it fills my throat
Made a list, wrote it out along my rib bones
The things I miss, the things I don't
Made a list, wrote it out along my rib bones
The things I'd say if we still spoke
I'm curled up on your porch as the sun is diving
Behind the house over the road
Taste of tobacco still reminds me -
That was back when you still smoked
Things I'd say if we still spoke
There's a stowaway in the lining
Of one of your oversized coats
