Five Little Songs

by Poirot

/
1.
Oh I, oh I Oh I, oh I From birth to death I lied Forever by your side This is my skin This is my skin While flesh is fresh, come try Your blood will tell you why We shall walk again Chained Eyes dead Long-forgotten Pretty Bold In a story yet untold
2.
Love is a notion A heartless commotion A habit of failing to pay Promising potion You took my devotion And used it all up in one day Don't get ahead of yourself It's gonna be alright Love is a palace And I'm helpless Alice In false hope I'm washing my hair Scared of the next page Afraid to get on stage It's cold and dystopian there Love is a notion A stupid emotion I used it all up in one day
3.
I've been waiting for the bus Destined for the younger us I've been fighting for this honeymoon and June will soon be here so I'm not worried about the weather There's no present like the time And the timing is sublime Jumpin' in my comfy seat, I will determine what comes next in order to win back my Heather Leave your village on the moon Say goodbye to blue lagoon This piper hides a tune that can erase/rewrite the past Fix things and then make 'em last I'm sorry to disturb you but I'm feeling optimistic and refreshed If the plan is to go west I believe you pass the test I protest though 'cause I'm just a normal guy enjoying revenge and other perks of human nature I've been laughing in my sleep And my words became so deep In my dizzy trip you're welcome to assist me in declaring if I love you or I hate you Leave your village on the moon Smash the doors of your saloon I know you built this dune yet you used up your power Girl, I'm charging by the hour Curious and cheap Uneasy feeling of misjudgment and mistrust
4.
Somebody's leaving, how can I cope Somebody's waiting by the wrong side of the rope Somebody's wishing we had never started this fight Somebody's leaving, leaving tonight How could I forget what I'll always treasure In the back of my procrastinating mind Happy to find Raindrops never hurt my ongoing leisure But I don't expect your rainbow now to shine You've lost that feeling Somebody's leaving, what can I say Somebody's dreaming of another yesterday Somebody's tired of pretending that it's all right Somebody's leaving, leaving tonight
5.
That Train 03:30
Get on that train, she loves you Get on that train, she needs you Make some space in your mind Something very strange An adorable creature you found in the backyard Something very blue A prolific songwriter who's really tired of discussing Something very dull The equivalent of a geometric delusion Something very bright Like the brain of a horse grown so weary due to circumstances Saddle up now Get on that train, she wants you Get on that train, she kills you Make some space in your mind Something very wrong A banana split looking to hide in the oven Something very fair Like a Twilight Zone episode bottled up and sent to heaven Something very rare You've been warned naughty liver, your time is a-coming Something very new All the wisdom of ages so welcome to your sleepy nightmare Buckle up now
6.
The Force 04:35
You felt the force You clearly saw the signs Unlock the doors It's time A friend, a foe Or something in between It cannot go Unseen Taming the lions on your tongue Moving the rivers in your eyes Surprisingly You'll have another chance Accordingly, depends on how You'll dance To smile at will Whoever gains control Fool on the hill, where is your shield You fall Slippery soil arrests your feet Sending out shivers down your spine I remember
7.
This Guitar 04:24
There are times I feel like I'm king I can handle almost everything There are mornings I wake up and sing With a heart full of gold Seems like someone high up above Sends me regular buckets of love And you'd bet so much love is enough To keep me straight till I'm old But Some days comes this frown On my face, freezing me I get small and this guitar won't help me At all Mama told me I'm royalty With my luck I could possibly be Saints and sinners now packed on the tree Where I played as a child Teenage dreams I set out to achieve Gave away all that I had to give And you'd think there's a God to believe But I let him run wild
8.
Tonight 03:20
It hasn't rained for fifteen years The holy woods' "unholy" tears Are often ridiculed by folks Who turn their backs on all my jokes I was no pioneer at first But now I'm keen to quench my thirst tonight My girls are gone, my bets got void My demons carefully avoid The situations where I'm in I'm searching for my next of kin All this is past, my moves are fast tonight Tonight I'm gonna change my luck tonight I'm gonna wear my crown tonight I'm gonna catch a wave tonight I'm gonna thank nobody tonight
9.
My house in space The stars, the cats Good food, great films My friends, her looks Strange chords, nice weed Guitars and bass Beach boys, glad girls My phone, the sun Full moons, soft beds The road, the sea Dear mama thank You for my brain The night, the gigs My loyal fans My luck, your love Can't you see I'm happy I don't wanna change a thing Look at me, I'm happy! My football club Those tennis balls The cheese, the jam Old autographs The memories Will it end soon I'm special but I'll never know I haven't cried In many years 'Cause you and me Are nothing much So let's hold hands And keep the ugliness outside
10.
11.
I could be the safe in a fancy bank I could be behind the most clever prank i could be the gold hidden under the sea I could beat Goliath if she fucked me I could be the nail in her comfort zone I could be her fears when she's all alone I could be her coffee, I could be her tea I could live forever if she fucked me I could be the coolest kid in the park I could be the shadow when it gets dark I could be the treasure she can have for free I could handle daylight if she fucked me
12.
Winter arrived in disguise and Nestled in your hazy eyes and Winter means so much to me and These eyes of yours now help me see Forests with green beauty packed Feelings I previously lacked Show me a reason to be Freezing skin, imprison me Three months have passed, not a word You'll soon fly away like a bird Ice keeps me warm but this spring Will melt it all with its sting (But)
13.
Replaced 03:45
I'm not ready to leave here Do you think you can Replace me with no risk of Shit hitting your fan I just need some affection And a circle of friends Don't you try to revive me When I'm still alive Come meet me you know where For drinks today at five I just want to be near you And make amends I am a friendly shark But if you scratch under my skin I'll leave a nasty mark I am the brightest spark And you could use me as a torch When you're out in the dark Would I make it without you In a brand new life Of course I would In the good company of my knife I just need some protection And an elegant joint I'm withdrawing my suitcase 'Cause I lost my key One thousand rainy nights Would love to follow me They will soon reconsider There's no bloody point
14.
15.
Cheap perfume in the air Strange faces everywhere Accept my challenge Truth or dare In the drunk cabaret Matilda sings the blues Old Buster plays to lose You need to put on your dancing shoes Join the drunk cabaret Nothing's forbidden here All the regulars know no fear Just close your eyes Forget your size Disappear Get back to bein' alive Self-invite In to thrive All 9 to 5 plans get erased in the drunk cabaret I'm glad we had this talk Now take Elvis for a small walk Long overdue You'll find your cue On 3rd knock! Make sure it makes your list Hear how I do insist This is an offer you can't resist It's the drunk cabaret
16.
You knew all about life 'Cause you'd figured it out Precious trusted companion I was so damn proud So you didn't say n o You went and said y e s Always had to smell the flowers In your medieval dress But I never lost faith at hard times Deep inside I felt safe but sometimes All I needed was a place to shine They would never understand Why I had to be blind Casual talks about the weather Playing dumb all the time I forgot how to speak Got wrapped in your voice Turned a secondhand emotion Into a second best choice We were taken by the night, good times Wishin' I could make it right for old times All I needed was a place Some celestial city to shine Can you hear the angels sing? It's a universal thing I just wanna hear them sing Oh I wouldn't change a thing Can you hear them sing? Can you hear me sing? All I needed was a place Some celestial city to shine
