girl across town

thers a girl across town on Jubilee street
who s a hard nut to crack but she s pretty sweet
from time to time she goes hard on me
but  I m letting it slide cos there s luv in she



and she cooks
vegetable chili / macaroni cheese / wraps with halloumi
does the washing / then puts the kids to sleep
I think she s worth it
I hate to see her hurting


and she s a mystery I m learning

there s a girl across town by the motorway
she sits in her garden and she stares at the rain
and when she stares I get afraid
of the dark inside merging with her grey    ...     skies

there s a girl across town where the hippies be
she s from the deep south near Purley
she s doin her best and she s teaching me
a lot about patience and family

critical (cassi & alex)

critical x4 mind...  
show me the map for it feels like i v fallen behind
critical x4 time - when u hate yourself & u want to die

1/paranoia got my guts in knots, there's parts of me i hav forgot
to avoid th void i had into th nite


critical mind ...
critical time

2/employment seems a wast of time when it s just enough to get you by

I'd  rathr be bside th Baltic sea / sea singing honest melodies

critical mind ...
critical time

3/treachery and mendacity are the fundamental parts of me
to avoid myself I ll do another line.

4/I know that many feel the same. so pull together break the chain
the deep divide b w us  grows each day, wont be bridged if u don't know

critical mind
critical time
it;s a critical time...

Ways to Get Out

So life got boring
And no love s forthcoming
I've been sat here drinking
When I shoulda been thinking

Of ways to get out of here
Quit the pipe the pills and the beer
And walk away

U smell like a tory
Or a fuckin zombie
Your lifestyle scares me
And u think no-one s looking

At the way that you plunder your time
Raise your kids and make virtue of shopping and vice

U look unhappy
Heading for the scrapheap
Whilst you've been buying
Mister I've been trying

 To find an alternative way
Give up on your city and just walk away

 To find an alternative way
Find my voice and start being brave
