Swimmer One - But My Heart Is Broken



Punk’s dead. the world’s grey.
the Sun rules, it sucks life out of each day.
i hate love. it’s soap stars and fake pink castles.
you took real life and left me a plastic matrix of cartoon
people who talk loud but don’t say anything
except ‘don’t stay in, go join in, find a friend, drink some gin.
you won’t put the world to rights unless you can sleep at night. let her go.
’ but my heart is broken. my heart is broken.
i’m lost to goodness, i’m such a mess now you’re gone.
the planet is dead, babe, except for the part that you’re on.
tv clowns in fuck me heels,
businessmen with smug fat smiles,
grey ideas and grey-haired fear,
i’m trying to love you but it just got harder.

Sea Wolf - The Garden You Planted



Good Morning Dear
I hope I didn't wake you too soon
Because my mind is growing tired
Too much thinking what I should do
I picture you out there
It must be beautiful this time of year
All those East Coast leaves
Floating round like embers from burning trees
Well the weather out here is just the same
But the garden that you planted remains.

Now it's only work
Each day bleeding into the next
Barely scraping by I tire myself out just so I can rest
But rest it rarely comes
And when it does I cannot go home
Because it's much too quiet
Seems that I'm not suited to being alone
And everyone around me's changed
But the garden that you planted remains.

I think about you
Maybe more than I should
But the smog is getting old
The drugs I'm taking aren't so good
So will you talk to me
Even though you've had a late night
Because I need a little help
Baby, tell me I'll be alright
Cause everything around me's changed
But the garden that you planted remains
