How can nothing ever mean something?
It goes from white to grey so fast.
A new pool on a strange mattress.
Helps me catch up with my past.

Pass me something to wipe with.
We're so easy to please.
Do you worry that it's loaded?
Laced with a million littles me's.

So are you up for the hat-trick
Or are you down for a rest?
Is the whitest light between our legs
Or hidden in my chest?

And if they see us on the stairs
Or if they catch us on the sink.
Move quickly and brush it off
With a giggle and a wink.

At least we know we're fuckable,
At least we're sated and we're tired.
At least the bedroom stinks,
And we know we're desired.

Screaming in the trees

We met on mutual ground
But you avoided my gaze
Until i lost your face
In the next morning's haze.

You're shoes could've woken up the whole street.
They drowned out the birds screaming in the trees.
We sat down on the stone stairs
And i watched the scars on your knees.

We met on mutual ground.
You fell out of your dress.
This bar's not open late enough,
So let's go home and make a mess.

They smiled and left the room
To leave us with more space
But we stayed where we were
And just had a drink to the chase.

A good night kiss equals a quick reaction
But it's hard to believe i'm fully grown.
So as usual, we parted on vague terms,
So you could climb back on your thrown.

Haunt me

Haunt me.
I know
You'll keep me
In tow.

No laugh,
No guide,
No limp
Beside.

So haunt me
'cause i know
You'll keep me
In tow.

If she's all
I need
To love
And breed.

Then haunt me
'cause i'll know
You'll keep me
In tow.

Turbulence

You always jump and quiver
When you're coming in to land
With no runway, no guidance
No nails dug into my hand.

We could have whoever we want.
We could go back to school
And see the dead laugh again.
Let's get dressed up and pull.

The only benefit of drinking.
The downside of what we take.
Some weekends i feel
Like i could always be awake.

A party in a strangers house.
Have we ever met the host?
Just smile and keep talking
And get your can for a toast.

We won't always be safe here
But this is where we reign.
Pull it tight to protect us.
We might never sleep again.

Packs Of Three "It was the biggest ever cock you'd ever seen, but you've no idea where that cock has been. You said you were careful - you never were with me.

Here We Go "How am i supposed to walk you home when you're at least fifty feet ahead? Cause you walked off in a huff and i'm that pissed i can't even remember what it was i said.

And if you ever really wanted two men at once, all i'm saying is i better be one of the guys you've got in mind...."	New Birds "You just have to be sure you're doing the right thing. I mean it's very easy to forget - she's just sitting there in the pub with her new friends and her new life and her new hair, and it's been five years but you'd know just to look at her. I wasn't even sure it were her at first, i was ready to walk away but she smiled and called me over and we said hello for a bit. when we back to our tables we were trying not to look over at eac Er and told our firneds to stop staring. i didn't see her for the rest of the night, but by closing time the beer's kicked in so i go up and speak to her and we end up talking about our new home..."
One Day, After School "I said with me around she'd never come to harm. And then she took a fork and stabbed herself in the arm. She used to wank me off but i could never heat her up.

But we couldn't quite decide if the moon was full, but i thought, well, tonight it's full enough. And this morning i was casually trying to sniff my fingers on the way back home. I could smell you and i felt like a little boy...."
The Night Before The Funeral "The night before the funeral, i got some - i sneaked a young girl up the stairs and past my mum.
