Love, Life and A Fish Called Sydney

Slip and Slide

Piles of broken lollipop sticks

My blood soaked box of magic tricks

I smile even though I’m down

How fake is my smile? How true is my frown?

All the faces in my life circle around my head

All the broken promises crease up my bed

Silent whispers and empty ashtrays

Shattering me in many unique ways

Slip and slide

Like you got nothing to hide

Slip and slide

Break into your stride

Stubbed out cigarette on my skin

You wiped off your lipstick but not your sin

I can pick my head up

I can’t pick my feet up

Lies roll off your tongue and your eyes

I still don’t know why me you do despise

A blistering pain breaks my heart

A twist of fate will tear me apart

Slip and slide

Like you got nothing to hide

Slip and slide

Break into your stride

Slip and slide

Go on and pick a side

Me or you

Black and blue

Slip and slide

Love, Life and A Fish Called Sydney

If the Bell Tolls, Don’t Answer

Wires crossed and lights are blinding

My life on fi lm I’m rewinding

A perfect fi t for my casket

Floating down the dead river in a basket

A blow in the deep dark night

A fl ick of the wrist and I’m out of sight

You kiss your cross

Your empty faith because of your loss

The night of a thousand unheard screams

The night of a million broken dreams

And you’re still hiding

And I’m still fi nding

Your secrets

Tempers fl are like fi reworks

You’re a bitch and I’m like all the other jerks

It’s a love hate thing

I lied; I hate it when you sing

You hide me from your world and friends

Cos I’m not so cool and up with your trends

The night of a thousand unheard screams

The night of a million broken dreams
