the beat of the drum

For the good of the team
And the reasons you gave as an interviewee
When you spoke to your boss
And you wanted the job
For the sake of the firm
And the time that it takes you to drive into work
Better eat on the go
Slice of swine in a bread roll
For the sake of the firm
And the money you burn
Just to keep your head up
And enjoy what you've got
The beat of the drum doesn’t stop
It just cranks up
Grab a large americano and get on your way
The beat of the drum doesn’t rest
It just draws you to your desk
Grab a large americano and get on your way
Get on the A61
For the line that you tow
And the things that they tell you – you don’t need to know
And the rules that they break and the guys on the take
For the team, for the cause
And financial reward
If you leave get laid off.
If you walk out the door you'll have nothing to show for it
The beat of the drum doesn’t stop
And the company you serve
With their words drumming away for a day’s pay
The beat of the drum doesn’t rest
It just draws you to your desk - like the rest
Get on the A61, and follow the beat of the drum
For the firm - for the board
And the local subsidiaries put to the sword
The MD and the chair
The stocks and the shares
For your stats - for the cause
For the guy who got up at the national awards
And thanked all at your branch
Because you played your part
For your health - have a goal
Because when you don't care it's just bad for the soul
For your health and well being
You just have to go for it.
Get up and go for it.

the troll

Unhappy troll busy hurting and staining
Those you know on the bus home from school
Be cruel and derive satisfaction from reactions and hide
Give it one more for good measure
One more for your pleasure
Before you finally give up
Give it one more for good measure
One more for your pleasure
You don’t know when to stop
Unhappy troll busy draining
And naming those you loved
More than life itself.
More than your life.
For the world to know
Give it one more for good measure
One more for your pleasure
Before you finally give up
Give it one more for good measure
One more for your pleasure
You don’t know when to stop
Everything you have – give it everything you’ve got
Give it one more for good measure
Do it for the thrill, do it for the buzz
As the rhythm of depression cuts.
CHORUS

All day waiting for you
It's not something that I'm used to
Not something that I've thought through
Take me somewhere I had no idea I would be
Take me somewhere please
You're loosening the grip of a control freak
Take me somewhere I had no idea I would be
Take me somewhere please.
I just want to care about being here with you.
I won't check me phone again until morning.

the dragonfly

The day will break and the pieces will fall,
As cold and pure as information.
And you’re a cog in the gearbox that drives
The vehicle of invention.
From the skin of the pond
I’ll watch you climb.
From the skin of the pond I’ll help you climb
Like a dragon fly from the cold
Like a dragonfly I’ll watch your wings unfold.
Somewhere down the road
The waters stale and there’s no room to breathe
It’s time to make your transformation.
The world below and the airways above
Feel the sun and the vibrations and climb
Like a dragon fly from the cold
Like a dragonfly I’ll watch your wings unfold.
Somewhere down the road
The day will break and the pieces will fall.
Call it dawn or call it being reborn.
