Selected lyrics

I shouldn't be here
I'm going nowhere
Stay and sing a while
I'm busy writing into words
Your fallen king
Always be here for me singing
To the streetlights
Always casting limelight heavenwards
While I'm sleeping
Always ordering from Amazon

Comms and telephones and changing stations
On your stereo
Fell asleep on the pavement
Tired and happy
Loneliness had got a glow inside

And then I felt happy
I'm not singing all this f***ed upness inside

And slide down them
And paint pictures
And kiss strangers
And then shyly run away from
All this city life is draining
But there's freedom
In the streets and I can hide there
I can feel them
