Steam Punk

Tick tock, whirl of a cog,
A prosthetic limb is a beautiful thing.
Steam Punk!
She’s a cyberpunk, she’s my fantasy,
Built me a time machine.
Tailcoat, lace, ring in her nose, suspenders, panty hose
As she left me for dead.
The words spin in my head. Steam Punk!
H G Wells, Mervyn Peake, 20,000 leagues under the sea
Conquer the west in a hot air balloon, the acrid smoke,
Hear the cannons boom!
I scavenge, I protect, I seek, I resurrect.
I’m a gentleman, don’t you know.
She’s in the eye of the storm.
Where those bad feelings start to form.
This ain’t gonna turn out well.
No it ain’t gonna turn out well. Steam Punk!
She came at me, flashing her thigh, my god what a way to die.
Take it from me. Oh yes I will, but this day, I choose not to kill.
I finally lost my mind.
Deaf, dumb and blind.
Steam punk!

Postcard From Biarritz

Plastic beads clean the beach, sow the seeds of what we eat.
Darkening, lightening show, hurricane strikes another blow.
Searing sand burns the sole, mercury rising at the poles.
Diesel fumes been replaced, electric travel, road rage.
Sun rise, let the madness begin, oil slick glistens on the skin.
The glamour, the glitz, my postcard from Biarritz.
Vespa leaves a vapour trail, shark fin for a tail.
The glamour, the glitz, my postcard from Biarritz.
Surf chase that son of a gun, zebra’s cross coz car’s the boss.
Stiff breeze, but the boat never moves, nothing more to prove.
Snog in the smog, acid rain, making the case for climate change.
Ecology, has done the sums, this heat’s here to stay.
This heat’s here to stay.
Sun rise..
Crop blight, insects, disease, market swells with trinkets & treats.
The glamour, the glitz, my postcard from Biarritz.
50 degrees, we’re having a blast, ice age a thing of the past.
The glamour, the glitz, my postcard from Biarritz.
Sun rise, let the madness begin, oil slick glistens on the skin.
The glamour, the glitz, my postcard from Biarritz.
Cool chic, umbra soleil, humanity massing in the waves.
The glamour, the glitz, my postcard from Biarritz

Shy Love Serenade

He pretends to read in his lonely bubble.
Blankly staring at the rain stained world.
His mind's eye catches her reflection.
He knows she's the one, but will she be his girl?
Summon up the courage if he could.
Day turns to night without a word.
She sips her coffee, taking furtive glances,
At the lonely young man with downcast eyes.
Was that a smile, only so many chances.
She knows he's the one, but will she be his girl?
Summon up the courage if she could.
Day turns to night without a word.
In the pale moonlight, he sang to her,
The dawn of a dream.
Hands held, dancing so enchanting,
Their love shines bright.
Love letters passing in the mist, never to meet, never to kiss.
Love letters passing in the mist, never to meet, never to kiss.
As the old man closes the cafe door,
Shy love serenades no more

Good Times or Bust

Given the opportunity, lady luck gonna shine on me,
In this god forsaken vegas town.
Patronising positivity, really don't do it for me,
yeah I can take another round.
Coz I'm in the mood, to shake off the blues,
Let the good times roll in.
Let the good times roll in, my fortune will grow before too long.
Let the good times roll in, the fates are smiling kindly today.
Triumph over adversity, but she don't seem so keen,
With every spin of the roulette wheel.
Live life forever or die in the attempt, par o the course for a
Gambling gent, it's a catch 22 and I've got it for real.
Yeah, I'm in the mood, to do some damage soon,
Let the good times roll in.
Let the good times roll in…
Now, I've got nothing left, just an empty treasure chest,
Bouncer grinning like a cheshire cat.
Down on my hands and knees, dumped unceremoniously,
This little bird has just flown the nest.
But I'm still in the mood, to shake off the blues,
Let the good times roll in.
