STONES AND ICE
Music and Lyrics by Thomas Carter. Copyright Verlaine Records 2005.
Wrap up cold in jumpers, gloves, and in your boots
We're walking to the stoney beach.
Tired legs in stone-washed denim,
Break to rhythms under Heaven,
Hair and earlobes full of sand,
Hands that grip harder than clams...
Your tight, you feel as if you'll break,
Nothing but splinters in your face,
Modern Homes and Modern Love,
By fake coal-fires, collapsed in drugs.
I love you, Charlotte,
Each crow in you that digs into the hardest law.
Dreams, that get blown down,
Leaves lost to winter gales,
I'm, not as strong as you before...
Silence.
Silent in-between the roar.
So silent.
A silence that could be no more.
***
Flowers laid by frozen lakes
Where ice had cracked and been replaced by
Deepest water,
Pitchist black,
Too cold to stay and relax....
Priests and Clerics,
Combinations,
Silken robes ad railway stations,
Hope in Congress,
Future boy,
Dreaming of,
Thinking back on
Holes
On hope.

‘JULIEN’
Music and Lyrics by Thomas Carter. Copyright Verlaine Records 2005.
In Julien there was a girl,
Who spoke to him when he was well,
He trusted her,
He named her Jove,
She wasn’t his at all.
Nothing comes and nothing waits,
He never wanted school,
Instead, he found inside himself,
A single beach of snow.
**
Oh, so fast the changes grow,
Time destroys itself with hope.
**
Julien climbed up the stairs,
At night when dark was always there,
He thought he heard a noise from his front room.
Too scared to go and see the site,
He pulled his duvet up with fright,
And waited till the morning light was new.
**
Oh, the past in reason slows,
Time, destroys itself in hope.
**
That night if he had gone down,
He would have met and would have found,
The side of him that Jove knew.
Instead he shall now live his life,
On borrowed ignorance that might,
Never ever give him proof.

F&S STREET.
Music and Lyrics by Thomas Carter. Copyrigth Verlaine Music 2005.
Its getting dark, to dark to move,
Put the car in the lay-by,
We’ll go tomorrow to where we have to be.
I’m driving tired, to tired to see,
Lost the consistency of speech,
Finding it hard to breathe,
On the rural tarmac,
That leads into another Welcome Break
**
Epping Forest, I’ve come to see you,
See you before you go.
Get the train back to Charring Cross,
Back to the Eltham streets that I know.
Disolve the tablets,
Into the bloodstream,
Into the bloodstream,
Into the mind,
Dissolve a lifetime,
Into the bubbles,
The air in the needle,
The pressure outside.

DARTFORD CROSSING.
Music and Lyrics by Thomas Carter. Copyright Verlaine Records 2005.
I just want to be with you.
Riding the night-bus home,
I just want to be with you.
**
July has almost ended,
June has come to stay,
I love you June,
I love you too,
We'll never meet again.
**
I just want to be with you.
Riding the night-bus home,
I just want to be with you.

SIX DAYS.
Music and Lyrics by Thomas Carter, Copyright Verlaine Music 2005.
Brush your teeth and come to bed,
and i will love you for,
For making me feel safe alone,
I'll still love you, when you're gone.
When our lives have moved aside,
And when your husband calls,
I beg you keep me in your life,
The cold that keeps me warm.
The cold that keeps me warm.
