I'm an Artist
I'm an Artist
See, I'm late
But I'm an Artist
Biting my arm to feel
Head hurts
So scream
I'm a fucking Artist!
I'm allowed below the waist
So sensitive
I can do that with you
I'm an Artist
Yeah, we're both Artists

Come back, solitude
All is forgiven
I leave her with household chores
For a million
To change the way we care
We have to be there
Mindful of which way the stream flows
I used to be fundamental
Consequential
With my TV and my 4 walls
Just realised how much growth
Made my life closed
Now it's time
To open my eyes for a second time
In a different place
To learn stuff and be fair
We have to go there
Mindful of print on on paper
I used to be judgemental
Still am
But go back
Embrace the sad girl
She said it's only a door
I said
I'm a bit ill
I make my stand
In uncomfortable brown wedge boots
And a defiant smile
She stood corrected
While everyone around her sat down
And had a cappuccino
Without enough stimulation
Bred delusion
Mindless and watching the window
I used to be faithless
Am now faithful
Soon with a mind and all!
She said it's only a door
I said
I'm a bit ill
Ignoring the world's pain
Will not make it go away
To live life today
We have to see it happen on a wider scale

Clarity
02:23
|
|

|
Clarity, clarity
Take her away
From the dreams that are making her
Stay in this place
Fasten her hands
Around her own throat
Make her heart tremble
At the things that she wrote
Blame all the men
For her weakness in them
Delve in the sadness
Pick up a pen
(Gather me in
Gather me in
Civilisations in Babylon's dream)
Broaden her shoulders
And scrub her back clean
Feed her all the fat in the house
Break this chain
Without losing her person, emotion or face
Use money to maker her happy
Encapsulate everything she wants to say
In a look
A sexy, sexy look
Blame all the men
For her weakness in them
Delve in the sadness
Pick up a pen

Tone Your Thighs
03:49
|
|

|
For so long
Been sinking into things
And out of things
And under him
Keeping strong
As a woman who
Reminded you
Of everything you’re not
Even if it’s two steps forward
And one step back
We’ll get there soon
Be sure you will
And tone your thighs in the process
Just keep on the track
Fifty years ago
Ladies who fulfilled their mission
Were making babies
And in the kitchen
Right now you’d think we’d grown
But I see parallels left right and centre
Still in our hearts
Too many men to mention
Even if it’s two steps forward
And one step back
We’ll get there soon
Be sure you will
And tone your thighs in the process
Just keep on the track
If she is struggling
If she is struggling
Then all this resolve
Fell by the wayside
When he didn’t call
You’re outgrown
Yes I’m hurt that you feel able to
Delete the connection
I have with you
But you’re wrong
Yet completely right
Be firm and strong
And trust in us to make the right choice alone
Even if it’s two steps forward
And one step back
We’ll get there soon
Be sure you will
And tone your thighs in the process
Just keep on the track

Oh Sir!
01:48
|
|
||
|
All that time
Flowering the deflower
Carefully choosing words
Not to hurt you
So after you
I went the other way
It takes time
To get to the middle
Oh Sir!
Yeah, I could do ya
Oh, I could do ya
But I wouldn't know what I was doing it for

Wearing Thin
02:05
|
|
||
|
This dog/boat thing
Oh gosh, it's wearing thin
It's wearing thin
I wanted you in me
Everybody signs you off
Sunken ship in the sea
But high life has turned to me
And whispered:
Take me in thee
My smile in my sleeve
Half shut them up but it's all happy
I know more than you, you see
Which pleases me

Stand Strong
03:25
|
|

|
Look to your left
Look to your right
Look to the person behind you
Look to the ones who aren't in sight
They're the ones you affect
When we say fight
It's not them it's the other side of you
It's not them it's the other side of you
It's an internal battle
Let's not get despondent
Let's not just sit and watch
First let's find peace in our hearts
Nothing is outside you
It's all there
It's all in you
You need to
Stand strong
'Cause you have the power
Believe
You have the power for peace
When you sit and look at your reflection
What do you see?
For me
I see beauty
Sing with me
For me
I see beauty
It's an internal battle
Let's not be despondent
Let's not just sit and watch
First we find peace in our heart
Nothing is outside you
It's all there
It's all in you

Angry Clouds

These angry clouds
To the north
Frozen in time
Like Friday
Sweet
Feel
Speed
Why so scared?
Who
Food
Make
Fill
I drove today
Daddy, I drove on the M25
And went past 70
Are you proud?
Voodoo
Feels like you and them and
You choosed
Oh you didn't tell me
Why I am a victim all the time
Blame you - I don't
Blame you - why?
So it takes time
To discover why
You fell into
Well over you
Now over
It's not about you
It's about filial
I want to be filial
Now
At one point we make a choice
Between
It going right
Or it going wrong
And we make that choice
At every single moment
Every single millisecond
Of every single second
Of every single minute
Of every single... blah blah blah
You understand what I mean
And you taught me that
And I forgot
That I already knew
Until now
So thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you all
Now I'm gonna have a bath

Best Friend (Tiny Drop)
03:06
|
|

These dreams are falling out my mouth
Can you say to me
These dreams are falling out my mouth
These feelings leaked into my house
Can you say to me
These feelings leaked into my house
It's like a tiny drop of water
Splashing on my foot like pins and needles
It's like a tiny drop of water
Splashing on my foot like pins and needles
How can he say to me
You were my best friend
How can he say to me?
This freedom's watching by the bar
Can you say to me
This freedom's watching by the bar
He's had to many beers by far
(He's had too many drinks by far)
What will he do with his car?
(What will he do?)
It's like a tiny drop of water
Splashing on my foot like pins and needles
How can he say to me
You were my best friend
How can he say to me?

That's Amazing
01:53
|
|

|
See this song is the way it is
Not more adept
Because I can't be arsed
Right now I don't believe in myself
Fortunately
It's fleeting
But I'll say to her
I'm late
Sorry I was writing a song
And she'll say
That's amazing
It's what I admire about you
And I predicted

Bow Road
02:48
|
|
||
|
I dreamed
You walked past me
Then did a full circle
And I followed you
To a cafe
On Bow Road
When I got there
She was there
I asked her
Are you that 16 year old?
Bow Road
She gave me a knowing smile
And you came out
And you were
Doing us both
And I woke up
Feeling played like a fool
But I played you
Haemorrhaging
All the way to
The bathroom
|
||||
12. |
|
|||
|
I want to tell you
How I'm going to do cocaine
To make you disgusted
To make you horny
To make you come
I'll be the best lover ever
Nothing more
Despite whimsical needs
for safe home journey
I was fine
Protection
Of all sorts
Didn't need you
How it should be
Lover
Made me bleed
But
Still this thing
|

Pretty Face
02:19
|
|
||
|
I will not follow you
My constant disregard for you
Does not allow me to
That said my insides grew
Like they were outside seeking fame
So I showed them to you
I gave you little I know
And now I withdraw more
But give you
A great little light show
Pretty face I adore
But the battle I wage to create space between us
reigns
I love the fact I tell you straight
How much I hate you
But you're great
An inspiration
Late every time
'Cause I know your weight
And your pull in these circles
Why do I create this rivalry?
Stop torturing me
He said
And I left
Of course
Knowing best
Bless you
I said
Thank you
Didn't mean it
Sorry for that
I disrespect
'Cause you remind me
Of someone I hate heavily
Oh it's me
What a folly
Still I realise
That you are
At my mercy
Seemingly
You won't have it
I see
I see
I'm not giving myself freely
Then I wonder why I don't get through

This Ego
01:46
|
|
||
|
Oh you made me
Bawl like a child
Again
But is this ego so big
To think that
Someone by another name
Is me?
Could be referenced
But not me
I was so cruel
Over and over and over again
With this
And made me think
About you again
Again
Again

Jeff Buckley
04:35

|

This is my peace song
Maybe by the time it's finished
It'll manifest in the heart
And I'll believe it
Friendly, you left me
Holding the baby
Baby it is you
Drown in a pool
Oh re-leave this
Where's the joy?
I asked innocently
'Anyone for
Jeff Buckley'
What the barmaid said
So I asked
'In what context?'
This doggie
Left doggie
Holding the bladder
For selfish and untidy
Self exploration and expression
You daddy
Sounds like you daddy
Feel so loved
Feel so alone
Feel like you in my comfortable home
Signs, flies
Thunderous skies
Think of a donkey being 'swooshed' by a tiger
Cold eyes
Government buys
Bring your mettle
I'll show you mine's larger
Ring... Is it him?
Bleep... Is it him?
Boy... Is it him?
Touched on the arm
Is it him?
Gosh boy
You're thin
Don't lose any more
Think of your mother dear
Medusa... Madonna
The whore

If You Were To Come Here
01:30
|
|
||
|
Withhold it all
Was a step at least
To prize something open
Gently
So if you were to come here
If you were to come here
Right now
I'd crumble
But I'd be open
Would you like that?
I don't know
So if you were to come here
If you were to come here

Picked up
Guitar
It was
Broken
I remember
I used to
Leave it
In a case
He said
He said
He said
Why don't
You use
His
Wonder
What would happen
If I had left it there
Safe
I wouldn't have bruised it
I wouldn't have battered it
I wouldn't have ruined it
I wouldn't have destroyed it
I wouldn't have broken it
I wouldn't have beaten it
I wouldn't have ruined it
I wouldn't have ruined it
The source of destruction
Is unhappiness
And I'm challenging it
But I want it to end
I'm challenging it
But I want it to end

Tula's New Song
03:33
|
|

She told me (we ate Chinese)
Tomorrow
She'll go over sea
To a land
Beautiful
And to find her love
Doesn't know if he'll want her
I said no doubt he'll always love her
A grace to me
To finally
Be free of envy
And encourage one
A treasure tower
Like me
She told me (we walked in the sun)
How unpatriotic she was
Of the country she came from
And she's leaving this city of fools
To find her home
Doesn't know if it'll welcome her
I said I'm proud of the courage in her
A grace for me
To finally
Not patronise the girl
And feel it from the heart
What she deserves
Greedily I asked for her words
Did he talk about me to her?
Couldn't hide my defeat
When she said no
And felt embarrassed to even ask
In the small time we had
I lapsed
Don't know if she accepts me
As a person now
If she even likes me
A quick defeat, though
Is easily released
And I hope after all
She will be patient with me
And I will grow beyond belief

Kindly
03:27
|
|
||
|
And I know
I didn't break your heart
But the least you can do
Is kindly not break mine
I need a man
To show me what to do
I need a man to have me in his hands
I need you
And do you know
That I found you
In the depths of solitude
Do you know
That I liked you
Even though I never knew you
And do you have the right
To blow me out?
Do you have the right to fall off that pedestal
I needed you
And do you know
That I found you
In the depths of solitude
Do you know
That I liked you
Even though I never knew you
I know
I didn't break your heart
But the least you can do
Is kindly not break mine

Girl up a Mountain
03:38
|
|
||
|
Chosen the throes
In the forest
She hated you
And your dream
She knows and she goes
Autumnal
Basking light
Through the trees
Soldier on my saviour
Girl, you have a journey ahead
But go, you will
Up the mountain
Alone
Fortune favours the brave
No horse, no hand
To pull you up
When your knees go weak
No chivalrous, impervious, superhuman
Make-believe
Your strength is within
Sounds cliche
All the truth is in these
Simple words and guidances
It's enough to learn from
Enough to please
Lay your armour down
Grasp this solemn point
All these people-things
Beings are Expedient Means
She shared
Ensnared by a bastard
With a conscience
Traps all around
Make her not want to
Stick to the ground
But climb she will
There is nothing to keep her
In the towns of fools, friends, foes and follies
She loved them all
|

Fear
Breaks the strongest man
But I am a woman
I can't see beyond
Right now
Wipe your nose on my sleeve
It doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not one for hygiene
And I'd like to have a piece of you
On my sleeve
Just in case
I have evidence
That you were close to me
Cause I'm sure you'll leave
|

This Goes Deep
01:59
|
|

This push me pull you game
Can last a while
Maybe we're thinking the same
And won't bother lying
So no smile
What I expect from you
May not be what you expect from me
And Honey if you scream
I'll be strong
And I know you'll
Clean
This goes deep
For both you and me

This story's getting old
Lines around the eyes are a dead give away
One should be self-reliant
But...
Surely there's space for a Jessica Grace
I'm only small
I don't make too much mess
On the ivory rug
What carcass?
Not mine or my canine
Surely there's space...

I'm an Artist

But I'm an Artist

I'm allowed below the waist
So sensitive
I can do that with you
I'm an Artist
Yeah, we're both Artists
