Last summer you made a promise
To do the best you can
Now you're in recovery
and she's sitting her final exam
You walk the knife edge
Took it too far
Time to change
Before you lose it all
They try to avoid you
At all costs
As you do them
The neighbourhood watch
In morbid fascination
As you run into the wall
Its a vicious circle
Time to stop
Before you break her heart
Your daughter's cried
Too many nights

On the tiles

We've got, Old man Markley
Alcohol Licks
Dancing round the kitchen
Giving high kicks
Replacements, Ramones
Go Team, Twin Set
Stuck to the fridge
Magnetic alphabet
Flame hair
Shining in the sun
Spinning round
We're the only ones
Dancing round the kitchen in the morning
Some may see it as a waste of time
If you could see the smile
As she on the tiles
There's no way you could deny
That this is all worth while
Black Market, Pressure drop
Wind the bobbin up
Clap hands, stamp feet
Timmy turtle pop
Head down, spin around
Don't let go
Let it go...
Needle hits the record
She comes running in
Hands held high
With an irresistible grin
Dance!

March of time

Hey you!
You look so stupid
Dressed up like you were a baby
Time is ticking on
Don't you know that it's beginning to show?
Hey you!
Behind the mask
Do you think it covers all the signs?
Follow the fads
But you're getting older all the time
Where's the disgrace,
The coming of age?
Is it a crime
The marching of time?
It's no disease
Hey you!
Do you think it looks good?
That's half of it I suppose
Do you you not think it's time
To wipe your face
And put away those baby clothes?
Go on, put away those baby clothes
You might laugh at me
Think that I got stuck in time
That maybe true
But I'm watching the lines appear
Now here they come
We can't see through
The muck on your face
All your nips and tucks
You've changed your body shape
Till we don't recognise you
Why do you feel the need to hide?
You can't escape the march of time

Take my hand
And I'll lead you
As safely as I can
Down the street
Avoid the cracks
Keep a weather eye
There maybe buccaneers
On the horizon
But we'll sing
A cannonade
Hold your breath
Till Spitfire Bridge
If you can
Wrap your hands
Around my fingers
4, 5, 6, stand

At the station in the rain
Waiting for the south bound
Got leave this heap behind
Looking for something you just can't
Find your own way
Make your mark
Sick of feeling overlooked
Too much talk, nothing to say
Don't equate with the small minds
Words like static interference
Clogging up with white noise
You've got so much to offer
Please don't get
Shackled by this town
Get away from the bigoted
Small minds

I don't give a shit about you
And your racist, homophobic views
I've heard too much for far too long
And I'm finding it hard to bite my tongue
You say I've been brainwashed
Should think for myself
But your arcane views
Should be left on the shelf
Ever since I could walk and talk it's true
I've disliked stupid bigots like you

It may be rocking
And I'm holding on for dear life
I reckon I deserve
To be pushed out of this boat
Just another man overboard
I behave abominably
Although the tide
May be guiding us to the shore
I feel this vessel
Should be steered from safe harbour
Please don't think that highly
Not all is as it seems
Although I may try so hard
To convince you otherwise
Beneath the veneer you'll find
An attempt at disguise
I see you waving from the shore
A guiding light to lead me home
I'm afraid that I will burn
All the embers of your magnanimity
To cinders

Wob UK
Acoustic Country/folk Punk probably describes me best at the moment
"A spring heeled, iron lunged avalanche of energy and melody.
Wob's sound is a glorious and intelligent blend of punk, pop and folk."
