Ariel (or Il Postino)
(Ariel, it's my sacred duty, for me to inform you of your most un-petulant beauty... .)
You walked into the place and through my drunken haze
I could tell you dressed like young Billy Bragg
You know a moth to the flame is what I became
as I inveigled my way into your pinball game
I immediately fell under your spell
and since your glance turns me to stone
you know my heart belongs in this five chord song
and darling, he's yours
For Ariel, you've got a dangerous beauty
It hurts like hell you know when you look right through me
I could say that your physique so much more than Greek
I could say 'you have a lovely smile'
When in truth the sight of your hips could sink a thousand ships
at a distance of thirty miles
You know that your tattoos made my front page news
and when I read between the lines
I found out everyone must have their ideal
and honey, your mine.
Ariel, Ariel, to you, I bring, this message from a pinball king
Ariel, you've got a piquant beauty
Has the time finally come, for me to wake up and smell that cup of coffee?
I'm still finding it hard trying to reconcile
that our bodies and lives won't be intertwined
I always believed that love at first sight was like Italian screen logic
something you can't fight
You know of "all the libraries in all the world"
she doesn't walk into mine
I guess I'll dwell in the eternal hell of the incurably shy
Ariel, Ariel, to you, I bring, a message from a pinball king

Kisses & Fog
I bought a round trip just in case
I never thought I’d love this place
Gave in that day in Central Park
And listened to my heart
All-night pierogies and crowds
Buildings so tall that I never saw the clouds
Come-hithers turn to goodbyes
In New York where my heart lies
I’m always up for settling down
I never thought I’d leave this town
But love would have me travelling
Obeyed my lying heart again
Drunk on the night bus again
Kisses and fog mean I never saw the end
Soon I will tell you goodbye
In London where my heart lies
Drunk on the night bus again
Kisses and fog mean I never see the end
Soon I will tell you goodbye

Day Star
We didn’t have shoes like that in my day, we had something else
Folk that formed and faded like a continental shelf
Boy I don’t like how you look at me
No, I’m no-one’s springing chicken, but I’m ranging free
On a day star / I forget / All roads connect
I forgot how / You can ride / To the other side
I wouldn’t take a bus to school except for novelty and fun
When you get to my age you just write letters scorning the school run
Girl you may have changed a lot somehow
Well you never talked to me back then, so please don’t do it now
On a day star / I forget / All roads connect
I forgot how / You can ride / To the other side
They dropped the kids in the corner pocket, ready for the rack
I wouldn’t swap my life with you boys, I would not go back
I would not go back
No, you can’t go back
On a day star
From a day star
Not your own car
But you’ll go far
Must try harder
