Jam On The Rhodes

Long road leading into the endless darkness
Five below, they say there’ll be snow the while
Heading home, down by the Channel
Before the morning light
I’m in a jam on the roads just trying to get home tonight
Said my farewells by the frozen roadside
No stars above when I left my love that night
Wishing she could be here beside me
Along for the ride
I’m in a jam in the roads just trying to get home tonight
Heavy traffic, fire on the road
Count the mileposts down, long way to go
(break)
Solitude no object to conversation
When you’re whiling six hundred miles away
Been talking to myself for so long
Sometimes I get a reply
I’m in a jam in the roads just trying to get home tonight
Brimstone and ice and suicidal drivers
If I survive I swear I’m never driving again
Got to get to sanctuary
Before the storm arrives
I’m in a jam in the roads just trying to get home tonight
Heavy traffic, fire on the road
Count the mileposts down, long way to go

VERSE 1:
Benches abuzz with gossip and hearsay
Who's friends with who?
Thumb collection contest winner
Well, look at you.
Pages of faces stare through the window
Picture enlarged.
Tried in the court of public opinion
Guilty as charged.
CHORUS:
I don't know how we
Ended up here
Caught in the spell of a world wide daydream
We should get out more
Conquer the fear
Quickly, my dear.
VERSE 2:
Paper is dead and pens are for oldies
Get with the times
Passive aggressive rant fixes problems
And perceived crimes
Wail at the wall and seek your redemption
Power discharged
Tried in the court of public opinion
Guilty as charged.
BRIDGE:
We've got nothing to say
We'll just sit here all day
We're just wasting away
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
Dock's got no lock and no burly bouncers
Door's open wide
Run past the judge and discharge the jury
Escape outside
Go find your friends, there's comfort in numbers
A lesson learned.
Tried in the court of public opinion
The court is adjourned.

Mr Hubble

I’m so dumb
I think I’m gonna tell her
Tell her for sure
That’ll burst her bubble
She’s got me
Spinnin’ all around
Got me in the air
Just like Mr Hubble
Gave her my love
Didn’t make her sweet
I’m an imbecile
An imbecee...li....ous
I gotta tell you
I’m hangin’ off the edge
I’ve gotta bounce right back
And stop seeing double
She don’t care
But now I’m caring less
Now I’m gonna burst
I’m gonna burst her bubble

Spartan Tartan

And if you, believe, there's nothing
Waiting at the other end
Wouldn't, you like to think you're
Wro-ong?
But if you've, conceived of something
I can't really comprehend
How can, I blame you when I
Find you're too far gone?
Just because you're ill-equipped
Doesn't mean you've been cut adrift
There's no reason to hang on but you can't quite quit
The spartan tartan's starting to itch
If you, concede there's one thing
Pass it on to me my friend
Can't quite, create the cause you
Sou-ought
And when you, proceed with hunting
Chasing that elusive blend
Don't come, to me when you cast
Out your last clear thought
Just because you're ill-equipped
Doesn't mean you've been cut adrift
There's no reason to hang on but you can't quite quit
The spartan tartan's starting to itch
With your indecision

Vicious Spiral

Trouble in the papers, well there’s trouble on the screen
But the real trouble’s brewing up behind the scenes
For the world is not as endless as it seems
While we’re living way beyond our means
Vicious spiral (x 3)
Keep on spinning down
Development, expansion, exploitation all around
Got to keep on growing, ain’t no time for slowing down
But the world is not as endless as it seems
While we’re living way beyond our means
Vicious spiral (x 3)
Keep on spinning down
Disregard the warnings while there’s profit to amass
Doctrine irrevocably embedded in the past
Tinker with the system when you know that it can’t last
Rearrange the deckchairs while the liner’s sinking fast
(break)
But the world is not as endless as it seems
While we’re living way beyond our means
Vicious spiral (x 3)
Keep on spinning down
