The words...

for Noah

you've got hands 
to make potato print paintings
of your Dad
fingers to pick flowers 
for your Mum
feet to push the pedals 
on getaways when you've been bad
and toes to wriggle in the sun

I love you more than I can say...

...my blue eyed boy

you've got lips to blow kisses
to the girl in your class
and teeth to chew the days 
the postman brings
a smile all smudged with summer
and bicycle stuck on 'fast'
and a heart 
where you can keep everything

I love you more than I can say...

...my blue eyed boy...

...my brown eyed girl


blue dress

blue dress
mirror the sky 
you're the sweetest 
the best day of my life
forever used to scare me
now it's not enough
to hold this love
blue dress 
mirror the sky

even if we lived longer than the world
and watched the street where we met
exploding into stars
it's still not enough time to show
the beating of a heart

blue dress
mirror the sky
you bring nothingless
the best day of my life
forever used to scare me
now it's not enough
to hold this love
blue dress
mirror the sky

promise me you'll stay 'til all the clocks wear down
and in the street where we met 
we'll dance to sad guitars
and I will do my best to show
you, you are all my heart

blue dress
mirror the sea
you're the sweetest
only one for me...


sucker kisses

this is your day
I made it for you
I fitted all the pieces 
sucker kisses for glue

the time you cried when trumpets played
swept the sorrow from dawn parades 
and the stars spun like catherine wheels
the way you are, the way I feel

I wish I had a four leaf clover
everytime you knock me over
I wish I had a storybook
for everytime the planets shook

this is your day
I made it for you
you've waited too long
my love is true

"you can't say that" you said to me
as I melted on the chiming quay
in a circle of marigolds
the way you are, the heart you hold

I wish I had a four leaf clover
everytime you knock me over
wish I had a wishing well
for everytime I tripped and fell

this is your day
I made it for you
I caught all the fishes
sucker kisses
so blue


eurostar  

"it's a weird and wonderful place"
were the first words from your lips
confetti fell from your sleeve
all your magic tricks

you sleeping on my shoulder
a shooting star below the sea
the sweet trembling that you're feeling
is how it feels with you next to me

and I knew it the moment I met you
you were crying on Gare du Nord
in the time it took to catch my breath
you made sense of it all

thank you for letting me 
tag along with you
for good


in paris

so drunk on you I caught a ball
came falling from the birds
kept warm inside you'd wrapped a kiss
with these fragile words

"will you always hold me?
and never let me go?
will you always love me true?
for I love you so..."

Notre Dame you in my arms
dreamer of my dreams
throw faces back at gargoyles
that try to come in-between

"will you always love me...

lift me high on your big wheels
this love and vertigo we feel
yeah, I think this could be quite a day
your Metro lips are warm and sweet
trumpets scream under city streets
yeah, I think this could be quite a day

so drunk on you under Sacre Coeur
you pushed fire through my heart
ten million tiny windows
that people call the stars

"will you always love me...

I lay these words in a sparklebox
to give you in years to come
when we go back to Paris
and I hold you
and I love you
in the setting sun

chambre trente sept

la fille la plus belle ŕ Paris
est rentré avec moi 
dans la chambre trente sept 
mon petit coeur
je l'aime plus chaque heure
je l'aime plus chaque heure
la fille la plus belle ŕ Paris
elle porte ma chemise 
dans la chambre trente sept 
mon petit coeur
je l'aime plus chaque heure
je l'aime plus chaque heure


sugarglass

I was waiting for you
by the hole in the fence
you were a little late 
a little overdressed
for someone like me
with no laces or tie
there's a bird in your hair
and a sparkle in your eye

you tell me you're not sure where to start
it breaks my heart
like sugarglass

we played double dare
down by the waves
the lights of fishing boats
and a love that can save
kissed in the bandstand 
we were missing at school
an hour on the waltzers 
couldn't come close to you

you tell me you're not sure where to start
it breaks my heart
like sugarglass
all my life I waited to play my part
I hold your heart
like sugarglass


new home

let's build a place for us...

peanut butter and guitar strings
bubble bath where I'll sing
of candle clouds around your bed
jingle bells inside your head
mutant pillows and hot dog stews
tiptoe round your morning mood
the happy noise falling up the stairs
the drunken clock you repaired

and drink for when we're dry as bones
scream hello 
to our new home

bubblegirl, you're a calamity
the burning pillow catastrophe 
belly laugh 'til we explode
you little sparkler I love you so
through the blizzard we find the windmill house
you wore Bright Star we made our vows
of everlasting Hollywood kisses
days off sick and carpet blisters

and drink for when ...

there is no past 
there is no pain 
just you and me 
in the diamond rain
there is no past 
there are no tears
just you and me
a shimmering career

oh Sara I've gone upside down
let's sit up late and discuss the brown
the grilling machine cordon bleu
fell over your case
fell over you

and drink for when...

there is no past...


noah and the robot trousers  

(instrumental)


the Grange

paint your toes and be my bride
been looking for you in-between the tides
collecting shells to buy you the moon
and bring it to you
in your lonely room

meet me in the Grange at half past three
carve your heart on a climbing tree
this world that turns 
for just we two
I'll be shooting holes in the sun for you

pin your curls and be my bride
been looking for you in the sky tonight
followed the glow of your cigarette
oh I've missed you
though we've never met

meet me in the Grange...

across the rooftops
down all my days
when I first saw your face
said "come inside where it's safe & warm"
who'd have thought everything
could depend on a butterfly wing?
you shook my soul
like a summer storm

pucker up and be my bride
been looking for you all this time
picking up stones 
and nosing though leaves
wish I'd known 
you were looking for me  

meet me in the Grange, are you running late?
well, burst your heart on a playground gate
this world that turns
for just we two
meet me in the Grange
I'll be looking for you
