Little Fighter

Guns out, on the street, you're a killer
Are you hunting me
How long till you stand and deliver
Till you set me free
Ride high in the sun in the saddle
Till the evening breeze
Strut in through the door like a lover
Will you ever leave?
Tear the place apart, little fighter
Tear it all in two
kick another hole in the city
that's kicking you

Nervous Tone

I can hear her breathing
I believe she knows
The promise of an evening
That doesn't end alone
i can feel the city
i can see it glow
following a feeling
who knows where it goes
Sundays, your devotion
sweeps across me like an ocean
You are not a fable
You are not for show
I am at a table
Waiting, don't you know
Do you get the feeling
Something more to say
One of us I leaving
One of us should pay
chorus
crawling through the city
like its ho-ney--comb
looking for some distraction
just another kid
with a nervous tone
looking for some direction

Girl in the Ceiling

She washed up on my door
the night I was leaving
Stranded by a tide of debts and lies
the moon rwas shining high
She had an honest eye
When my back was turned
she crawled into the ceiling
When I leave the house I look over my shoulder
Just to catch her smiling up at the sky
The sun is shining high
No one seems to mind
The girl in the ceiling that only comes down when it's colder
She's gonna be alright
she keeps me up all night
Singing to the moon
and the mice in the ceiling
Yesterday I climbed the stairs to the attic
she had disappeared. I started to panic
Nothing left behind
But questions in my mind
Shadows in the wind
Ghosts in the celing

Two small presentations
In the breakout rooms
recruitment agents workshop
strategies to target youth
both were well attended
Neither ran for long
but the rooms were vacant before
the speakers made their point.
Meanwhile, in the main hall
The speaker laboured long
on the future cost of disinvestment
in petroleum
a gathering of hawks and doves
with superannuation
and seven houses mortgaged to
future generations
sometime later, canapes
party pies and beers
A talking point was mitigating
The mounting legal risk
Of environmental factions
with practical ideas
for mining corporations
hit with growing civil fears.
mortgaged too
mortgaged too
