GLASS IN THE PARK - ALEX TURNER

If there's glass in the park
Darling, I can't help but keep making appointments
To sweep beneath the climbing frame

 If the sun's in your eyes,
I'll tighten your blindfold, baby
Don't worry your foot won't get cut
Strut carelessly

 And when you say that you need me tonight
I can't keep my feelings in disguise
The white parts of my eyeball illuminates

 And I'll wait for you
As if I'm waiting for a storm to stop
I've heard them talking
About how I'm gonna put you off

 There's glass in the park
And now that I'm up off my knees
I've picked up the speed
To jump your palisades

 And I shoot through the night
And suddenly all those once lost concoctions froth
And chase the day away

 When you say that you need me tonight
I can't keep my feelings in disguise
The white part of my eyeball illuminates

 And I'll wait for you
As if I'm waiting for a storm to stop
I've heard them talking
About how I'm gonna put you off

 Tell me, how can I put you off when you're a matter of urgency?
I've got a million things that I need to do, but they're all secondary
Make sure you're not followed
Meet me by the Death Balloon

 Paraselene woman, I'm your man on the moon
And like a grain of diamond dust, you float
And my devotion's outer crust cracks

MOORINGS (WATER WHEEL)

moorings loose  moorings loose or nothing at all moorings loose, so as to one day be toward me one day in time, in tov your eyes bring a washing to mine toward, tender, together the narrow, spacious way floodlights floodlights faith onto concrete floodlights sweep into my ribcage trace their insides a finger of time, of tov you mist over my sleep a sea all to yourself i will chart you, loose myself into you, find light in your flood i'll close my eyes tonight and find you that's what i'll do

ODE TO OLD

oh, these old, old songs. I feel it all as worship as I stand in the forest the drums fill my lungs and I know exactly who he's worshiping every time. if half freedom can create a globe fill a stadium with flashing lights and these otherworldly songs THEN WHAT CAN FULL FREEDOM BRING AND BRING IT THROUGH ME. to paint on this dimension  with your words with your songs with your ideas with your love with your stories with your desires with your power with your color with your memories with your images no more chanting in confusion. you are not cryptic to me.

EDGE OF SOMETHING REAL

to the days, the endless days the early air and old t-shirts I do believe that we were endless those days if I could wrap you in my arms and tell you everything is going to be okay if I could take you to coffee and listen with my whole heart if I could walk through your neighborhood and share the heart of God if I could go without food and sleep if I could enter empty spaces and watch them fill if I could dance and shout in the blue light if I could carry a binder and shoes in the same hand if I could run like a child and tag you if I could sit beside you when you're all alone I have so much love for you, I want you to know that
