When you read
The Soft Machine
You will scratch through this with red felt tips
That's you and me
Falling out
Because you've no idea what I'm on about
Well, it's crass but honest too
And we both know it's true
For what you say and what you do
Outside, there's a black dog
Coming after you
For all that you say and what you do
Outside, there's a black dog
Coming after you
Through the trees
It bares its teeth
With a knowing grin
It pulls you in
And I am sure it's pleased
By what you dream
All those crass friendships
And women's hips.

In the quiet of the night, there are monsters trying the handle of your door, and I am sorry I had to expose you to the things that you can easily ignore
If you want, you can end it slowly
Spare yourself from the pain you might endure
And all those ghosts that would dance Macabre
To the lights of your GameCube on the floor
It's a solitary life in your bedroom; behind the curtains, you'll see a world that has found you out
And those people you love will forget you; they are staring at you it's a reason to stop indoors

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told - Traditional song / Nursery Rhyme

You laugh like a haunted house
You don't let other people talk
Bad thoughts that creep into you
Like sex on sertraline
And all the posh lads are in punk bands
All the posh girls can play guitar
As they come watch them go because at this point in your life
You're better off unknown
You dream of a tortured past
but you've got somewhere to fall

Don't leave....please
Is what I want said.
Tell them I once was ... A warrior, a Poet, and now I'm dead
Rescue me but don't let them see, tell them I rescued you and when they call my name it'll be such a shame if we don't see fireworks too
Leave it out/Pack it in my love
As below then so above
I'm in love with you
and there's nowt that you can do

Lewis Paul Marrow Hull, UK
Rough-hewn heavy set muso with a talent for writing exposing heartfelt lyrics and gut-churning one-liners. Lewis combines the lyrical and musical nuance of modern alternative singer songwriters with the Punk/DIY sensibilities of the best working class performance poets to deliver a performance that is both too aggressive and sad at the same time. ... more
