A Yolk He’d Never Seen
Red-back spin your old web once again
Until you can spin no more
Dizzied by deception
You tumble to the floor
Tangled in your old ways
This time you have messed it up for sure
Exposed for all to see you, naked
Running for the door
Spider bites do not heal over night
Some infect while some decay
And if you do not treat her carefully
She might bite back
And you’ll become the prey
The Lyre bird she came along and she gave you everything
She picked you up and flew you around the earth
You gave her your promise
Said that you were being honest
But you weren’t being honest with yourself
She caught you out
Cracked your shell, and pouring out
Came a yolk you’d never seen
Ochre like your abdomen
Whatever could it mean?
Have you heard from your old rights and wrongs
Or have you spun out of control?
Pull yourself together and start a new
Before you lose it all
Before you lose it all
Before you lose it all

I Want To Be Your Wife
I’ll sleep in the bed that i’ve made
Conform to role I’ve been given
So shape me and mold me like clay
And everyday you’ll awake to my face
I’ll fill you with bacon and eggs
Force feed you warm custard and cake
Until you’ve all but doubled in weight
For fifty years and them i’ll disappear
Into thin air
When your shoulder is cold
I’ll fall asleep with my face to the wall
Who said silence was gold
Give me permission to speak
Forgive me for being so bleak
But smother me under the sheets
Some truth for a smack on the cheek
And with every waking kiss i’m in matrimonial bliss
