lyrics

"Isambard"

In the sphere of my sorrow
hung at my lung
is the black on bone lust
for the death of the young
The constant cold hangs
loose on pink necks
Their paws of soot
itch pores of soot
Cook in the soil
and wear down the skin
under the closed cloak of the grey man
His british bark burrows in
My splintered heart bleeds grey in sin.

A London hush lies
between the blinks
Its hard art to hear
but you can see it stink
between the milk and the sugar
Sadness shares a shudder
Stung and hung stiff on a thought
Behind white eyes
a london hush lies
between the lines
before a homeless man’s thinking time
is stolen in a flash

As the piss streaks down the pavement
Dodge wet dash
Trod in phoenix ash
Cash in your swan song
for last orders
Tredmil pavements
you’ll never reach the borders
So sit tight and write
cause that’s how nerds fight
asthma lungs like casper
Gassed by second hand pollution
from industrial revolution
Lotion to lips
Pursed to pollute
minds to twenty one gun salute

A London hush lies
between the blinks
Its hard art to hear
but you can see it stink
between the milk and the sugar
Sadness shares a shudder
Stung and hung stiff on a thought
Behind white eyes
a london hush lies
between the lines
before a homeless man’s thinking time
is stolen in a flash

The bitter litter picker
knows love is a bar of soap
The subway subtracts sublime
and everybody on it knows
hate is a length of rope
Anonymous opposites
like photos and funerals
Semantics
Call me romantic
My pedantic eyes are the colour of the thames
Sigh
So the devil may cry me a river of spilt milk
so white my face float ghost like
Token taking a toke on a stereotype

A London hush lies
between the blinks
Its hard art to hear
but you can see it stink
between the milk and the sugar
Sadness shares a shudder
Stung and hung stiff on a thought
Behind white eyes
a london hush lies
between the lines
before a homeless man’s thinking time
is stolen in a flash

A London hush lies
between the blinks

Its hard art to hear
but you can see it stink.
