seven unbound cliche's

(1)

i hope the autumn finds you in happiness
dear i wouldnt want for you to settle for less
youre happily wed and it makes me feel dead
i live thru the lives of heroes in books that i 've read
what shall i do
tonight gives no clue

honey i can't sleep
i can't do the things that used to keep
me going in a dreamscape sweetheart never this day

i don't wnat to be a pilgrim anymore
pilgrim
because pilgrims just get robbed
and i'm tired of the trail
war is not very cute- especially when it's not working
military intelligence is a contradiction in terms
i'm reverting to the underground as we get stronger and quieter
but i'll remember you who gave me a chance as my chances grew thinner
i remember your beautiful autumn face over dinner

i'm being ripped apart by harpy eagles
screaming and laughing
they save my heart for the end
they save the sky
they save my friend

a core of light
a speck of sight
then my eyes bring a solitary flash all their own
i call your name
i remember how few the shadows
that refracted light most heavenly to me

i leap and i feel the wind below me
but i lay my somber reflections in the sky above
in my lonely studio is where i part with all her best
putting the end of music to the test
we've all been dreaming/ me especially
the supernumeraries watch me but i wake up
stirring and betiding my subsequent o watch the sun watch
the coctail tables- peter framptom-
i'm dancing on your table
i think i am crying jenny

hello painful guitar
hello tearful piano
goodbye cheerful drums
marching on marching on
i miss my love o i believe
she will always b mine

the moon gives me plenitudinous light
to lay free reign giving way
to dearest fright
for flashbacks and wonderment
of what it could hav been like with her
a flashlight blinds me
her short auburn gamin's hair it finds thee
o how lucky and winsome and athletic you must be
o my lord
i am at your door on my knees
my fake plastic knees
her arms will swim me
to the islands by some forecasted shore
begging for more
forgetting the years
"ooh baby i love your way"

oh natale
who's baby do you have
when will the season change
why am i not deranged
why can't i be ---- where is my love at last ----

the turbulence of stars
the hiding clouds are ours
oh look at me once again with that sly look
then let me sleep on your couch again
sleep sleep sunrise
coffee and bailey's
the march 2003 war protest
one million people in the streets of barcelona
if grandpa can run with the milf then i can have a girlfriend
of a saturday

i thought i was crying because i said goodbye to jeff howie
killian bomstad vito heather
but it was you my only
your arms around me forever
i try to recall girls i felt in love with
in recent memory almost lying to myself and to my books
tempted to charge head first into the glass
sara reba kelda brandy (
though that was short lived and only lust driven
lust driven
cloyingly moistly forbidden) forbidden a beverly hills celebrity home
though i tried to scale the fence i ended in the sea
i ended at the playboy mansion
i will always have a friend in lawrence

(6)
fuck this place
except for the coasts
i'll take them both

(7)
it's sunday again
did you wake up with your boy
i'm resting in the sadness
of the day i avoid

i went my daddy's house
where his daddy died
i've never understood this place
but at least i tried
