Dandelions & Daisies

Tenor sounds from the bandstand as the warden wipes the winter off the wall.
Children hand to their fathers, bits of Dandelions and Daisies from their finds.
Oh what's your favourite time of day? Mine is evening.
Sat on the Horniman Green with our shades, just believing.
All is ours from what I see, the beating sun will brighten up our climb, we lay amongst the hills.
I'll be here when summer comes, but you'll be gone and I'll be left with Dandelions and Daisies on my mind.
Slowly close up the garden, as the warden rings his bell for one last time.
Holding hands, we walk past him, knowing we will be returning soon it's fine.
Oh what's your favourite time of day? Mine is evening.

French Martini

So it's not a case of words, there's a burning ear striding into here like a satellite, there's an elephant in this room tell me have I gone too far 'cause I missed every sign that you tried to write for the last fortnight;
from the silent stares to the warning flares but
All you said, you're feeling all the wars you fought have made it made it kind of awkward.
All I read, you're feeling all the cures you sought, the seven signs of failing.
So let me get this rule book right, when I see my phone with a call from home it's a sign to swipe, 'cause I'm obviously, gonna consciously switch to silent right? Well, there's of sense of fatigue that's exhausting me and I don't feel bright; from a unknown sin to an anxious grin and
All you said, you're feeling all the wars you fought have made it made it kind of awkward.
All I read, you're feeling all the cures you sought, the seven signs of failing.
So when the penny finally falls, I'll be left with a hole in a once full world that we made our own, looking back to a time when we mostly smiled and we made good plans, like a evening leading with a French martini and a game in hand; from dancing nights to the morning light and
All you said, you're feeling all the wars you fought have made it made it kind of awkward.
All I read, you're feeling all the cures you sought, the seven signs of failing.

Worry

Penny for your thoughts dear.
Tell you what let's park here.
We can grab a coffee.
Just tell me if I'm waffling.
There is an old saying.
A problem shared will half it.
Well I can take the whole thing.
If you let me hold it.
Just tell him not to worry.
He can run or risk it.
Take him to a movie.
No he cannot resist it.
You can be a worrier, or you can be a warrior.
Don't grow old with grace dear.
There's no such thing as lost years.
Generally I'm happy.
But some days I forget still.
Fill your years with secrets.
Memories and cheap tricks.
Don't give into riches.
They only make you depressed.
Just tell him not to worry.
He can run or risk it.
Take him to a movie.
No he cannot resist it.
Just tell him not to worry.
He can run or risk it.
Take him to a movie.
No he cannot resist it.

Disagree

We started high, a pedal stall of lies cloaked the chance to fall
Until one day, a contract to be signed took away my view
Who am I to disagree,
I was never one for being mean
I'm not bored, I'm just tired of being told just what to do
and so we fought
this fighting turns to war, a disarray of sorts
and you declare
'It's time to be a man!!', I'm not sure I can but
Who am I to disagree,
I was never one for being mean
I'm not bored, I'm just tired of being told just what to do
and who am I to say when I'll be free
I'll renounce the day you let me leave
I'm not bored, I'm just tired of being told just what to do
There was a look in your eye that was almost black and white, it was almost black and white, won't you tell me if you're alright!
Who am I to disagree,
I was never one for being mean
I'm not bored, I'm just tired of being told just what to do
and who am I to say when I'll be free
I'll renounce the day you let me leave
I'm not bored, I'm just tired of being told just what to do

Reverie
02:50

Oh Lucinda, there's a hope for you and me
Born to outcasts, we were lost in reverie
In time
The passing
The never
The lasting
Dream that we bathed in, spun from a fishing line
I'll try sitting, I'm getting visions, I'm soaked in this stale state of mind
tried teetotal, well, it didn't float well, I'm more a whisky guy
and you were the one who walked
yes you were the one who walked
Oh Lucinda, there's a hope for you and me
Born to outcasts, we were lost in reverie
In time
The passing
The never
The lasting
dream that we bathed in, spun from a fishing line
Here's a thought now, if you'd not walked out then where would we be right now
and you liked fantasy, you used to fancy me, but now you've been left with out doubt
and you were the one who walked
you were the one who walked
Oh Lucinda, there's a hope for you and me
Born to outcasts, we were lost in reverie
In time
The passing
The never
The lasting

David wears all the fanciest clothing, he's head to toe in jewellery and glowing, but he's not the one for you.
Jimmy hangs with rich friends in high places, spends time in Dubai and attends all the races, but he's not the one for you, no they're not the ones for you.
Peter makes the best jokes of this century and
Jack has good teeth and can fight any enemy but they're not the ones for you.
Joseph cooks every meal to perfection and
Stephen has manners and world class attention but they're not the ones for you, no they're not the ones for you.
I'll take you to an island, we can be titans, get away
A ticket to fly on, it can be Friday every day.
Patrick's loyal he will not betray you, Karl is so handsome that he looks like a statue but they're not the ones for you.
Richard's cultured and merry as any, Nigel's clever and he's not short of pennies but they're not the ones for you, no they're not the ones for
You may wear your heart on your sleeve
but you waste every chance to get out of this, leave
all your troubles at the door, they won't reach you anymore
as they slowly fade to grey
I'll take you to an island, we can be titans, get away
A ticket to fly on, it can be Friday every day.
