lyrics

8.
so full of life
more than you know full

walking through
people passing
orange road
sway crowd lurch past

dead to the world

it's later home time
ducking aside
from the one step in front of the other
where are all these people going
together, are they together?

evening entertainment (read alcohol) over
beds are calling
lie flat then stand up
and it's monday again

this rhythm of a not life
and always moving to someone
else's stare
never your own swing
this waste

9.
stop hovering to the right of me
stop hovering right behind me
stop hovering to the right of me
and look up

social ettiquette
says sit like a lady
hold silenced barred a self defence
not tongue tied or foot bound
still scratch at the dictate
and sing out

stop hovering to the right of me
stop hovering right behind me
you occupy too much space here
you occupy far too much space

move inside, outside, outside, among

there is a context
this context

need to move in dark spaces
out from under the radius of a lamp
and look up from what has
neither song nor story
to find the plough and the pole star

i'll open my voice, open my voice
and say you're standing
too close to me
open my voice, my voice and say
you're too close to me

need to move in dark spaces
out from under the radius of a lamp
and look up this that has
neither song nor story
look up to find the
plough and the pole star
