Apple Plus Tree Plus Gravity

Apple plus tree plus gravity
Having their wicked way with me
Apple plus tree plus gravity
You never can beat biology

Apple plus tree plus gravity
Burning down this legacy
Apple plus tree plus gravity
You never can beat biology

Origins: "So what you telling me? You got Daddy issues, boy?"

A Child Acquires His First Knife

Launching toy rockets on the beach 
Crude postcards in rusty stands
Acting as magnets to schoolboys
Astronauts, mountains, jungle
He began to feel included 
An adult hears him swear
But there is no retribution 

A child acquires his first knife
When extracted from his bleak cocoon
Leaving behind a still-born life
He dreams of living on the moon

A child acquires his first knife
Whilst walking where the tides are weird
He doesn’t understand a word
But thinks that he will now be feared

Origins: Nobody does laissez-faire quite like the French, god bless them.

I Fight With Demons

I fight with demons, mostly their lithe queen
She is caged in glass but escapes with ease
When assisted by my worthless fingers
Her evil torture drives me to my knees

I fight with demons, others join the fray
We have a long and bitter history

Origins: Steer clear of the grape and grain for they are evil deceivers. 

French Girls In Italian Cars

Two-oh-eight clicks to Luxembourg
Razor-slashed leather bucket seats
Cum-stained Cosmo in the footwell
Racing through the Dusseldorf streets
French girls in Italian cars
Stealing Gitanes from hotel bars
French girls in Italian cars
Double crossing Dutch drug czars

Southward bound to the transmitter 
All gauges running in the red
Bullerei never far behind
Crazy thoughts bouncing through their head
French girls in Italian cars
Acceleration blurring scars
French girls in Italian cars
Needs fulfilled with no au revoirs

Origins: A BREXIT regret wrapped in a European Thelma and Louise veneer.

Spongebob Squarehead

He's like some cartoon character
No, he's like some kind of monster

Rectangular, two-dimensional
Blindfolds for children, essential
Spongebob
Spongebob
Spongebob
Squarehead

Origins: To be regarded a freak in Atherstone is quite an achievement.

The Clouds Stopped Moving

The clouds stopped moving
Frozen In one-hundred-degree heat
The sun’s reflection
Bouncing off tall mirrors all around
Cold perspiration
Streaming down nervous skin yet faith grows
So, in that instant
Pathways emerged so clear for a boy

Origins: Sometimes, true clarity can only be achieved poolside in Vegas. 

Chocolate Chipped

Chocolate chipped, honey dripped
Intros skipped, ouzo sipped
Balance tipped, insults quipped
Hitchcock script, Barbot-lipped
Family crypt, ghosts unzipped
Leather gripped, snakeskin hipped
Stockings ripped, pale skin stripped
Pistol whipped, body shipped

Origins: Oh, to have one's life scripted by Raymond Chandler.

Black Tinsel

With four stations exploding
His temper fast reloading
All power and water gone
Half-expecting a naked John

Fearful to reveal her wound
The TV precisely tuned
So desperate to keep the peace
By offering golden fleece

Black tinsel, black tinsel
Black tinsel, black tinsel
Should be draped from the banister where he hung her upside down

Origins: Christmas in a 1970s English farming village could be a fraught time. 

Soda Brücke

Soda Brücke, zu nichts fürhen
Soda Brücke, eine Leben ohne Sinn
Soda Brücke, isoliert und allein
Soda Brücke, eine traurichkeit auf den Feldern
Soda Brücke, ich hätte ein Anwärter sein können
Soda Brücke, ich möchte jetzt Teil einer Autobahn sein

Origins: Bridges are sometimes built but go nowhere. Ask any German.
