" ...only to be rediscovered some years hence and acclaimed as a flawed but magnificent work of genius long after I have succumbed to a tragic, unrecognised and untimely death."

From: "Lights on Barkhouse"

The ‘L’ Word

I never envisioned all this
I never envisioned the closeness
We’re living our lives by the seat of our pants
And I find myself getting too boastful

Sometimes she makes me sublime
Sometimes she makes me quite jealous
With a look in her eye and her honest reply
Sometimes she makes me feel quite worthless

Times like this
Times like now
Like here
Like how

She said the ‘L’ word again
Said it straight to my heart
She said the ‘L’ word again
Said it straight to my heart

I feel like running away
I feel like forever staying
I’m stood on the cusp between dawn and dusk
I don’t know if I’m for real or I’m playing

She can take me out with a smile
Leave me for dead with a whisper
Why I’m fighting for breath is anyone’s guess
But my elbows are turning to blisters

She said the ‘L’ word again
Said it straight to my heart
She said the ‘L’ word again
Said it straight to my heart


The worst that could happen to me
Is someone could bloody my nose
The worst that could happen to her
Is she’s out in the garden picking up her clothes
Out in the garden picking up her rose-strewn clothes


She’s totally under control
Totally entertaining
I’m totally glad that she’s totally mad
I can’t see my attention waning

She said the ‘L’ word again
Said it straight to my heart
She said the ‘L’ word again
Said it straight to my heart


What she intends and what she pretends
Couldn’t be further apart
She said it straight to my heart
