Candyman - J. Land
Oh he do what he can
He only come now and then
He mine
He my Candyman
Oh he only come now and then
but he always do just what he can
He mine
He my Candyman
Oh I live with myself
I have no need for no-one else
He mine
He my Candyman
And if I call him once a week
He still kiss me on the cheek
He mine
He my Candyman
And if I call him once a day
He never ask if he can stay
He mine
He my Candyman

Old Banjo Song
Although I wanted to stay
I had to go away
couldn’t stay, for another day
When I think of you, I pray
How’s our little boy?
There’s so much I wanna say
Lord I prayed
everyday. That I’d change
I still think I should pay
for having to leave. You both
There’s no time these days
Life has changed. You’re the same.
Dunno what to say.
When I think of you I cry.
How’s our little Boy?

Muckrake
Pace the length
Over & Over
Skin spiked to push the wall
That’s far too close
running it spits and snarls
in starts
muckrake & fuckers
see the edges curling
a lip bitten down
chewing
stupid blind edges into corners
and tired out angles
running out
slowly
and hollowed out
hills of breathe
that shudder
crumpled slumping
and holding
still

The City Song
I walk around the city
sounds
rainbeat all around
moon
dancing on the ground
When I walk at
Night
I can walk
I wonder if you feel the
blue
neon on your face
lights
sewn to your hem
Never felt so alone
never felt

Adeline
Adeline lost her earring in the snow
She lost her bearings and her shoes
and now her feet are missing
Oh lord I fear my gal’s lost in the snow
she might have lost her footing
Oh lord I fear my gal’s lost in the snow
The snow’s new fallen and I can’t see no printing
Adeline wrote a message in the snow
tread words in circles with a stick
until her hand lost feeling
Oh lord I fear my gal’s lost in the snow
I’m chasing time I’m running
Oh lord I fear my gal’s lost in the snow
Searching round and round, can’t she hear I’m calling
Adeline fell asleep in the snow
It took her breathe away and she forgot to breathe
dreamt she heard her lover calling
Oh lord I fear my gal’s lost in the snow
Oh lord I fear my gal’s lost
Oh lord I fear my gal’s lost in the snow

The Great Divide
there you are
here am I
I don’t know how I’m gonna cross
the great divide
this is you
that is me
now it’s all I can see
I see you
do you see me
is this the way it has to be
this great divide
can you see
the you in me
that we can be in company
where is you
where is I
if we let go and if we fly
no great divide
the hand you see
is only me
reaching out to you across
the great divide
