i think you like the idea of a reader
you're dreaming about all the words you can teach her
you talk about books
like you've read all of them
i think you should look
round the table
what's happening
i know you like to explain to me who i am
see i'm a good listener
to you, this is good conversation
leave within the hour
before the weather turns dour
when i talk about things
you just hear the names of them
your mind creates links
between symbols and everything

Glencoe

you used to be funny
like kids who make their own fun
bothered by noone
held on to your money
and passed the time
not really
eager to be mine
i dream of a day when
i rule the seas again
but honestly
do i think you miss me
no
or that you care what this means
no
no use hanging on here
where we'll never go
goodbye glencoe
parked at neist point
to see the same sea you saw
but no
only rivulets
and windshield wipers
someday i might try again
to command waves to crash
and backs to bend
i had such high hopes for you
but really you were only number two
well i'm not sure now but you were then
and as for me
it's still true now what was true then
i'm just not, will never be
who you think i am
i dream of the gloaming
of people under cloudy city skies a-roaming
but after all
do i think you miss me
no
or that you care how this feels
no
magical colours
where we'll never go
goodbye glencoe

No agency

nobody knows it like i do
the appeal and the pull of the 1-2-3
look at me, invisible at school
but a bender of the autocratic rule
you've got a lot to take credit for
unfinished business, unopened doors
me staring at the phone as it rings
my head full of half-happened things
i bet you hear all the time
an undivided attention's all for the best
and i need to make up my mind
whether or not to put these images to the test
but none of them are me
money like nothing you'd believe
it's beauty you think you'll never see
and it can't be unseen
straight-faced they tell me i'm funny
i check on my blood, it's still running
i wonder if love is in the air
as you move to rearrange your hair
i'm aware that there's somebody next to me
i've got the storyboard and the lines but no agency
tears roll like credits, shut me down
i chew these things that i can never seem to talk about
and i bet you hear all the time
an undivided attention's all for the best
and i need to make up my mind
whether or not to put these charms of yours to the test
but none of it's for me
money like nothing you'd believe
it's beauty you think you'll never see
and it can't be unseen
