One honest chew
Room for two
Silly you
Let the slip the hordes
Of your war
And then more
Now it's gone again
Gone into the wind
Now it's gone for sure
Gone and insecure
Beef consommé
Every day
Less afraid
Rise up again
I'm your friend
Your stipend
Regular sins
Always win
Let it spin
Call me kosher
I won't stir
From slumber
Born out of time
Salt and lime
Make the rhyme
Weddings of fear
Nowhere near
Up one gear

The Rachel Capers

She's traveling the blue line
She doesn't know I'm sitting next to her
She doesn't know that we have met before
She wouldn't want to think back on that evening
She changes at Rayner's Lane
She takes the purple down to Preston Road
I should've got off back at West Harrow
But once again I'm risking everything
It's all too easy
No-one can see me
Setting myself free
(Just ask for Rachel)
I'm never leaving
Steady my breathing
I've got a feeling
(Just ask for Rachel)
It was a night just like this
A club that specialised in amnesia
She had a brooch shaped like a swastika
I guess I really should learn when to shut up
The outside air stings my face
She's making sure she'll make it back in time
To what, it sure ain't no business of mine
Tonight coincidence just isn't enough
Simpler times with no designs
We ruled the world
Honest lines and valentines
All blowing out the window
(Just ask for Rachel...)
I can't see anymore
We've both been here before
We've both been in this weather
We don't belong together
I'm suddenly wide awake
Suddenly see myself for what I am
For what I'm doing and what I have planned
I don't believe I have the tenacity
I'm rooted right on the spot
I can't just back away when I'm so close
The fact remains that nobody here knows
I'll change my tactics so imperceptibly
She has a right to remember the truth
She has a mind to recover her youth
She has a chance to regain everything
She has a goal, she is persevering
She'll be the one, I see it in her eyes
She'll be the one, I know my own disguise
She'll show you all one day
(Just ask for Rachel...)

There's a time for you that's on its way
It's if you see it that'll really count
If you even have a shred of doubt
Then it's gone for good, touch wood
There's a modicum of pettiness
That's gonna taint the way you see the chance
See your opportunities askance
You could lose it all and fall
You're blessed at my behest
And I'm cheering you on all the way
You're gifted, you'll be lifted
Just not today
That's what I predict (amneurotic)
There's a little matter of the debt
But something tells me that you're good for it
All the patronage just seems to fit
We make quite a team it seems
There's the elegance about your gait
I feel the trust and I can feel the love
Don't think I could ever get enough
Of the savvy gall you sold
That's what I predict
Yeah, you got it licked (amneurotic)
Look at me, I'm so proud to call you family
Hard to see where any of us still left would be
There's a way to think out of the box
And if you master that there's no end
To the possibilities that mend
Ever broken word you heard
You're working toward the first thing
That gives you the edge overall
You're sweating but you're ready
To rule the world
And I'll be alone again
But you'll have made it then
Out of sight, you're a true and shining spotlight
Fight your fight, give 100% outright
