Sheffield Youth

no future is where we have come from
the blight of infinite choices
the height of severe disillusion
in rooms we plot different options

life is clear when we plug in our cables

sheffield youth
we changed the course

the sound of competing voices
the eyes roll up with the noses
we build protection on stages
to prove the future of noises


The Envelopes Brigade

skilled with a saw and pulse
but not with this ailing urge
you with your words and notes
too scared to try
are you paralyzed?

who’s afraid
of the soldiers of the envelopes brigade?

teased by the sound you’ve heard
you try, but it sounds like birds
back to the classifieds
too scared to try
are you paralyzed?


Mistook

lost in the dark of your youth
the pain of sinking down
you’re much too old for that

held by your own list of truths
you thought you never knew
when will you start to live?

Wireless, From London

all the letters you sent are all I've read
you're the author of memories
as the turn of the century has passed
so has our dreams
lost in the ether between
i remember before, the pleading eyes
as I reassured you again
you said someday I would live to regret
but I just forgot how to live
i lost more than I had to give

nothing here to protect from the cold
i left home without a hope
to the station through the winter snow
will my message get through?
distance has come between us
distance has threatened our love
distance won't tear us apart....
