We came from the four corners
We are the raw waters that course
The four horsemen will drink from the water that pours
We carry the river,
the reservoir
the residue
Rising waves,
the sea spray,
the inevitable churn and crush
Many voices in our vapours, we surge and gush
we were steam
in a distant heat
We moved rapid over landscapes gathering speed Desertland. City. Forest and beach.
Heading for the people asleep.
Ready to bleed Unleash the torrents. Come clean.
We carry many lessons. Let the water teach.
But you better learn to swim or you’ll get caught beneath.
Hard rain falling,
on all the half-hearted half-formed
fast walking.
Half fury, half boredom. Hard talking.
Half dead from exhaustion. Hard pushed,
but the puddles keep forming. Don’t fall in.
Some saw us in their tea-leaves Some felt us in their knees Most left it to the weathermen
to tell them there was nothing to see.
You can play dumb and ignore for so long But we’ve been in the mountains getting strong We’ve seen you,
filling up the sky with your fumes
Sitting in your rooms
like you’re all that ever lived
Heads down to the lives
of the others in your towns
running from the rains
like you’ve never been kissed
Look – leave
your possessions and funds
tell your friends that you’ve gone
to make peace with the things you have done. Come dance in the deluge
Spill like the flood.
The weather-vein swings,
things will never change sing
All the money men who close their eyes and pretend;
that this rumble
must be low planes.
So strange
Hard rain falling
on all the half hearted, half formed, fast walking half fury, half boredom,
hard talking.
Half dead from exhaustion,
hard pushed but the
puddles keep forming.
Don’t fall in.
And they will run to the highest hill. Consult the old books.
Ask the dead mystics for wisdom they don’t trust.
The people
will flock to the garages,
stock pile canisters
of gasoline
Tinned fish
and bandages.
count the seconds between the thunder and the lightening Scared of every other body running round frightened.
We can’t carry on like this, you will mutter Staring with disgust
at the people
weeping in the gutter.
We made no trouble we played by the rules.
I worked double shifts
to get my kids through school.
But you were so focused on your own little part, you went ploughing on blind in the dark.
No heart.
We are not the dread storm that will end things We’re just your playful
gale force friend
in the end times
Come to remind you
that you’re not an island
Life is much broader
than borders
but who can afford
To think over the walls of this fortress.
Of course it’s important
to provide roof and floorboards
for you and yours
and be secure in your fortunes.
but you’re more
than the three or four
you’d go to war for.
You’re part of a people that need your support and who’s world is it?
If it belongs to the corporates,
The People are left on the doorstep. Door-shut.
Nauseas and are tortured
by all that they lost.
Hard rain falling on all the half hearted, half formed, fast walking half fury, half boredom, hard talking.
Half dead from exhaustion, hard pushed but the puddles keep forming.
Don’t fall in.
New album Let The Eat Chaos out October 7th through Fiction Records.
