We buy and sell down at Sharkey’s Parade
Paracetamol and cheap cherryade
Sometimes the difference
Is so hard to tell
Heaven can be Hell with Jesus and Jezebel
Snapchat romance and instant affairs
Vodka and comedy, thoughts and prayers
Its a kind of suicide
Slowly killing time
Heaven can be Hell with Jesus and Jezebel
It’s all right here on real TV
Phoney is the new reality
Gossip and opinion
This week’s lucky million
Heaven can Hell with Jesus and Jezebel

Difficult Girl

Oh such a pretty dress
Barbed wire and flowers
The fabric of your success
And your ivory towers
Waving your heart shaped flag
Artful distraction
Pity is such a drag
Such an overreaction
Even the truth is absurd
Life is a beautiful curse
You’re such a difficult girl
Such a difficult girl
Why do you still neglect
Your own affliction
The principal architect
Of your own crucifixion
You say you never retreat
But you always welcome defeat
You’re such a difficult girl
Such a difficult girl
There is no fruit that’s been forbidden
The song you’ve always heard
Is still waiting to be written
You’re such a difficult girl
Such a difficult girl

Hey Batman

Hey there Batman
Haven’t seen you in a while
Looks like you’re type of crime
Is going out of style
Hey there Batman
Nothing’s going down
Just some big mouthed kid
Thinking he’s profound
How the dark night fades away
In the light of a brand new day
Hey there Batman
I think that bird has flown
Now you’re working for the man
And Robin’s run away from home
Hey there Batman
Has it come to this
The good ones are killing time
The bad ones are taking the piss
How the dark night fades away…
There’s no telling where you’ve been in that disguise
But there’s a kid round here who’s really got your eyes
Hey Batman
Have you heard the news
Some joker on the street
Is walking in your shoes
How the dark night fades away

Stars

We are such stuff as stars are made of
We are the hopes on which dreams depend
So much better than we think we are
When all is said and done
And but a shadow
Of what we might become
We are the latest ones in line
One hundred thousand years in time
We are other
Strangers by name
Ninety-nine point nine
Percent the same
Born in space and time
On some distant star
We are castaways
So good so far
We are blood and dust and wind
We are the stories that we tell
We are the conscious light
That lingers on
A hope that will remain when we have gone
We are such stuff as stars are made of

Nobody Gets Hurt

You can take the decorations down
Bring the chairs in off the lawn
This party’s good as over now
Everybody’s going home
You can trust me every inch on this one darling
You can have my word
Just put the dream down darling
And nobody gets hurt
We’ve done everything we could here
Gone right out on the wire
You sang just like a nightingale
But they still won’t have you in the choir
We could stick around forever darling
But it’s never gonna work
So put the dream down darling
And nobody gets hurt
The sky is turning
The sky is turning red
So leave the silent to the almost being said
The rain falls on the living and the dead
And the stranger sleeping in your bed
It’s not what you hold onto
Doesn’t matter what you lose
You can give it all away
It only matters what you choose
You can trust me every inch on this one darling
You can have my word
Just put the dream down darling
And nobody gets hurt
