Loves Loose Ends.
.
The unforgiving sun
Has yielded to the moon
And all the neon signs
Are in stunning bloom,
But I have no inclination
To accept the invitation
And join my madcap friends,
I dread to think
Beyond the labyrinth
Of loves loose ends.
.
chorus
I said things and she said things
We severed the strings
That played our song,
But as silence descends
On loves loose ends
Our melody lingers on.
,
With unchallenged ease
The friction grew intense
Words became weapons
Dreams lay in fragments,
Numb with spiteful confusion
The only valid solution
Held  a somber tone,
Our harmony
Ended in acrimony
With hearts of stone.
.
chorus
,
bridge
In this corridor of lonelyness
And vast arena of emptiness
Her voice rings sweet and clear,
Nothing I can drink or burn
Can make me turn
A deaf ear.
.
chorus.

Twenty Grand A Year.
.
I don't want to be a rich man
And drive a sleek new car
Don't want my name in lights
Or on a Hollywood star,
I just want to quit working
And being told what to do
And give up worrying
When my bills are due.
.
chorus
Twenty grand a year
Would suit me fine
Twenty grand a year
I'd be on cloud nine,
I'd launch my buzzer
From a very very long pier
Yeah all my blues would be gone
If I was on
Twenty grand a year.
.
I'd get into my garden again
My cabbages were the best
But now it's weed city
Cause I lost all interest,
I come home shattered
And aching everywhere
Devour my dinner
Then sleep in the chair.
.
but
chorus
Twenty grand a year
Would suit me fine
Twenty grand a year
I'd be on cloud nine,
I'd wake up at noon
Sip a very very cool beer
Yeah all my blues would be gone
If I was on
Twenty grand a year.
.
bridge
Some people dream about millions
Those numbers mean nothing to me
But twenty grand has a ring to it
When it's cash and tax free.
.
Yeah
Twenty grand a year
Would suit me fine
Twenty grand a year
I'd be on cloud nine.
I'd say shove it boss
With a very very loud cheer
Yeah all my blues would be gone
If I was on
Twenty grand a year,

No Easy Way To Leave You.
.
chorus
Baby there's no easy way to leave you
And I've thought of a few
Yeah baby there's no easy way to leave you
So I wont ever try to.
.
I wouldn't hitch a ride to another town
There's too many maniacs driving around
Busses are too claustrophobic
Ships and boats make me sea sick
I'd need drugged to board a plane,
My car wouldn't make the state line
Trains never run on time
And my bike needs a new chain.
.
chorus
.
My folks would welcome me home again
But mom would insist I'm in by ten
My kid brother would put me up
But he's got a vicious mutt
And his kids would sell all my gear,
My big sister would take me in
But when she's on the gin
I get paralysed with fear.
.
chorus
.
bridge
I could sneak out and run down the street
But I'd be crawling back in less than week,
And baby even if I won the lottery
I'd want you to spend it with me.
.
chorus

I Want Him Back.
.
Hey officer I'm here to report a theft
My baby took off and here's the note she left,
It was in the kitchen near the frying pan
Says she's gone south with another man.
.
chorus
She broke my heart
But I don't care about that
She stole my dog
And I want him back.
.
He's a cross breed terrier called Deadlock
He's brown and black and his tail is docked
I house trained him when he was just a pup
For seven years he's been my faithful mutt.
.
chorus
.
I dug up this bone he had stashed away
Should be easy to extract his DNA.
And here's a picture of his cute furry face
I want the CIA and FBI on the case
.
bridge
She's entitled to half the house
And I'll get a loan to pay her
But stealing my best friend
That's a no brainer.
.
chorus.
