The Fawn

All the good rhymes all the bad times
Embedded within the wall
Hilary wakes to find she makes no sense of it at all
Oooo recent pain
Mmmm runs to her again
For she's a warm girl
She's the fawn girl
Getting caught again
The face is on the traces gone
And the wheels are rolling
Bells are ringing Sunday singing
The strangers are strolling
Ooooo You don't feel so good
Mmmmm you did the best you could
For she's a warm girl
She's the fawn girl
Getting caught again
So Hilary writes and the words alight
With a tumbling motion
She dreams of cliffs and the wild gull riffs
To the rumbling ocean
Oooooo it's taking her
Mmmm that city's breaking her
For she's a warm girl
She's the fawn girl
Getting caught again

Kent Lullaby
They showed me moving pictures
On the news today
People had come to Washington
From far away
Incense and the smell of anger
Hung like a shroud across the lawn
America
They’ve finally come to find you
The arguments they flew like arrows
The words thy came from head and heart
Those that mourned the fallen warriors
And those the victims of the National Guard
CS and M15s
And the Panthers in amongst the flowers
America
They’ve finally come to find you
What side you’re on, what class or colour
Everybody says they’re doing their job
So whether you’re a student or
A member of the Teamsters mob
There’s only one god, there’s only one truth
Thou shalt not kill
America’s youth
They’ve finally come to find you
America’s youth
They’ve finally come to find you

Fable of the Wings
He wore a suit of morning grey, not a thought did he betray
And he moved inside the human tide at the end of his working day
Off the train and up the road, stepping through the door
To find his wife staring at him from across the floor
She said a stranger came today, opened up a silver tray
And he gave me pills to cure all ills, said I’d see things a different way
Now my throat is tight, my heart’s a pounding and my limbs are weak
Voices come from so far away that I can barely speak
Well that night she dreamed strange things as her thoughts they turned in rings
And to the dawn’s sky she gave a cry to discover she had grown wings
Shocked she stared into the mirror in the morning gloom
Stretched and watched the white wonder fill the tiny room
Well she got up from her bed raised her wings above her head
And red with shame she cried in vain “Oh I wish that I was dead”
What will all the neighbours say the gossip that they speak
And what will my children think when they see I am a freak
And so soon there came the day for the last act of the play
And the surgeon’s eyes still held some surprise at the job that before him lay
Behind a mask someone looked at them and they gave sigh
Wondered what it must be like to have the power to fly
He wore a suit of morning grey not a thought did he betray
And he moved inside the human tide at the end of his working day
But for those trip and those who have to fall
They find however many walls they build they offer no shelter at all
