Gatsby

Her eyes were as blue
As the cornflowers in the summer
And her lips oh so sweet
Sweeter than the sweetest honey
Her smile wide and bright haunted him at night
But her heart – once so warm
Was now as cold as ice
Well he worked, he worked so hard
To build his castle on the hill
And he filled it with such things
Just to give her heart a thrill
He threw parties so sublime they were the talk of the town
But when he finally came to claim her
She had turned her heart around
Each night he stared across the lake
Beckoning her to him
How long would he have to wait
For her to come back to him
How could the promises she made
Be broken so completely
How could she suddenly forget
The words she spoke so sweetly
Well the ending to this tale
Is sad and far too much to bear
For though he’d loved her endlessly
She never showed she really cared
So he died all alone with no-body by his side
And his heart once a fire
Was now as cold as ice

Bathsheba's Lament

Two careless words, but how absurd
That she should care for him
Her laughter light, rings through the night
She’s everything to him
Holding his heart in the palm of her hand
It trickles through her fingers like sand
Careless words careless words
She paid the price
He cannot eat, he cannot sleep
You know still waters run so deep
Her thoughts are free, no cares has she
The ways of love still a mystery
Holding his heart in the palm of her hand
It trickles through her fingers like sand
Careless words careless words
She paid the price
For love can be so fickle
Be careful of the games that you play
You might reap tomorrow
What you’ve sewn today
He dares to hope, the words she wrote
Will mean a love eternally
How could she know that what she’d sewn
Would reap a darker destiny
Holding his heart in the palm of her hand
It trickles through her fingers like sand
Careless words careless words
She paid the price
For love can be so fickle
Be careful of the games that you play
You might reap tomorrow
What you’ve sewn today
You might reap tomorrow
What you’ve sewn today
(Marry me, marry me, marry me ………..

Ode to Carolina
03:09
|

|
Carolina fills her window box
With pretty colours and hues
She’s smiling at the street now
But something’s clouding her view
Well the voices in her head
Change the colours to grey
She’s slamming down the window now
As visions get in her way
Carolina pounds the pavement
Her fists in the air
She thinks no-body loves her
She thinks no-one cares
There is light in her life
But she’s starting to drown
As we go about our business
Her acid words rain down
Plant a flower
Prune the trees
Then she’s brought to her knees
Her mind is her prison
And only she has the key
Carolina wants the passers by
To feel her despair
She slicing up the flowers now
And she’s cutting her hair
Well the voices in her head
Change the colours to grey
She’s slamming down the window now
As visions get in her way

Stories and Lies
04:32
|

You and the things that you do
I’m going out of my mind
With what you’re putting me through
Lies, you think you tell a good lie
Deceit is written in your eyes
Do you think I’m hypnotised
You’ve got me doubting everything I see
Do you really think you’re fooling me
With all your stories and lies
With all your stories and lies
Soft and black as night is her hair
Her dark eyes haunt me everywhere
Yet you deny she was there
I’ve tried, but can’t erase it from my mind
The clues that I can’t help but find
How could you think I’d be so blind
You’ve got me doubting everything I see
Do you really think you’re fooling me
With all your stories and lies
With all your stories and lies
So you think you’ve found the man of your dreams
But maybe he’s just not what he seems
Should you waste your time believing all that you see
Or do you open your eyes
To all the stories and lies
To all the stories and lies
So….. pack your things and go
Drop the keys off as you leave
I won’t be tugging at your sleeve
Don’t come back…. Ok I’ll keep the cat
You can tell your ma to call
I’ll be telling her all
So you think you’ve found the man of your dreams
But maybe he’s just not what he seems
Should you waste your time believing all that you see
Or do you open your eyes
To all the stories and lies
To all the stories and lies
Well you can tell me all those stories
Yes you can weave me all those lies
But what you really need to see love
Is that I can read between the lines
