lyrics

Nights are for breathing
leaving t’day behind
dreaming up plans reading
abart gypsy caravans
and bicarbonate of soda
for checking your phone
like a pulse
Finding thoughtless awareness
in t’teachings o’ Tao
mixing vegan mao wi chickpeas
eating avocados
wi art all t’brown bits, please
n when t’writin dries up
n your cup’s empty n words
dunt wanna lek any more
you could allers watch Come Dine wi Me or
Dunt Tell t’Bride
sometimes you’ve just gotta swallow
your pride and embrace it
face it love
you’re not a proper poet
just a trash TV addict
put the lid back on your pen
‘cause you’ve ad it

Nights are for loving
praying saying all
t’stuff you wanna
say but dunt get
t’chance
in t’thick
o’ t’day
imagining
a better way tomorrow
And in darkness
we’re nowt but stars
and there’s a stillness
that will either tear you apart or heal you
and I hear you
‘cause it int allers easy tryin
to strike a perfect balance
Be a matriarchal leader
democratic teacher
mother and friend
and you’ve gotta forgive yoursen
round t’bend
and you lose it
Ah, those nights
wi happy hearts
are ace when
your kids
fall asleep
wi a smile
on their face
and the books
on your head
are perfectly balanced
