Yesterday I spent asleep
Woke up in my clothes
in a dirty heap
Spent the night
trying to make a deadline
Squeezing complicated lives
into a simple headline
I have your face
here in an old Polaroid
Tidying the children’s
clothes and toys
You’re smiling back at me,
I took the photo
from the fridge
Can’t remember
what then we did
I haven’t been with a woman,
it feels like for years
Thought of you the whole time,
your salty tears
This shitty world sometimes
produces a rose
The scent of it
lingers and then it just goes
Return the call to home
The worst of us are a long
drawn out confession
The best of us are geniuses
of compression
You say you’re not
going to leave
the truth alone
I’m here ‘cos
I don’t want to go home
Child drinking dirty water
from the river bank
Soldier brings oranges he
got out from a tank
I’m waiting on the waiter,
he’s taking a while to come
Watching the sun go
down on Lebanon
Return the call to home
Now I’ve got a head
like a lit cigarette
Unholy clouds reflecting
in a minaret
You’re so high above me,
higher than everyone
Where are you in the
Cedars of Lebanon?
Choose your enemies carefully
‘cos they will define you
Make them interesting
‘cos in some ways they
will mind you
They’re not there in the
beginning but when
your story ends
Gonna last with you
longer than your friends
