Lend me your ear,
Make me your Valentine
Forget your fear,
There's nothing left to hide behind.
But battle lines.
He spends his days
Under a kind Sun.
In the land of milk and honey
She knows her race is won.
All it took was a quiet word and her will was done.
All it took was a quiet word and their will was done.
Choose Battle lines.
You know they'd take,
The stars from your very eyes.
So keep your wits, and your hopes in a clenched fist.

The Russian Glasshouse

There's a man across the road,
Eyes are dry and his cheeks are wet.
He's got one hand in his pocket, and he's on his second cigarette.
There's a fire in his heart,
and the smoke trail leads back to your house...
There's a cuckoo in the nest,
There's a spider waiting on the wall.
There's a rat under the stair,
There's a woman whispering in the hall.
She wants us to throw stones
Even though we're living in a glasshouse.
Casual conversations, bout the fate of nations,
Threat of violence, leads to awkward silence...
And we're living in a glass house,
Oh oh!

He had his regrets
Bout telling his secrets
But they were quite beige-
He's young for his age.
Careworn and coarse,
My heart is a dead horse,
That they keep flogging
They say I should be out, snogging,
Some nice person in nice trousers.
But I'm singing your praises, under the overpass
Where they can't hear.
It's been a terrible year.
For high people
That live in low places
They take our details,
And then forget our faces.
And nice people in nice trousers,
Live in very different houses,
To ours.
