On the knick 

a smile from the heart
we don't know the same words
we don't need to

there's so much more to you
you don't even hate me for being
with the pioneers within

the beatles on the wall
and the insects you eat
are not the matter
the rules i live by only apply
to the pioneers within

they're here to shove
you and take your place
and i'm with them
they're here to stay and leave again
leaving only their own traces
the pioneers within

 

Let Me Pry

the bear went over the mountain
there was no-one there then but we know
when i left your sight again
you must have thought it meant something, but no

sometimes i have to be somewhere
there's stuff that i do
you had to act like you didn't care
which says so much about you

It says so much about you

years and years pretending
make your head hard
there doesn't need to be an ending
it was only in my old book that you starred

if doubts arise within your mind
don't pay attention but don't deny
if you have worries of any kind
tell me or let me pry

 

Not that big A Story

to your right: a spotlight making you look pretty
to your left: what was left of an afternoon party

did you see that movie
where the extras pointed at the camera and shouted

i know it cause i saw it
and i even thought something clever about it

square your shoulders
untie your hair
give me a picture
the rest i don't care

what's the world to a bird? what is it for you and me?
frankly, my lovely, not that big a story

 

Metal Mash

it all comes down to this:
a fragment, a piece
whatever you do or say
it only makes a difference today

Won't you be a doll and open a jar of pickles
if i were you i'd take off your shirt and use it
i'm afraid i've torn both my ankles
but i've something to say before i totally lose it

she waters her eyelashes often enough
to make them grow dark and salty
now she's smooth, groovy and tough
but we'd all be home if it wasn't for the party

and when i die i wanna die in plane crash
i know they don't happen so often
but dying quickly in the fire and the metal mash
sounds like destiny and almost fun

 

Taking taxi in Winter Clothes

goodnight my love,
sleep tight
we'll both dream of
the same night

steam rising
like an oath
squirrels flying
and us both

taking taxis
in winter clothes

all strangers,
a human floss
of brothers
in loss

a checked piece of fabric
and two big rivers
unbelievable music
and two thin figures
