black television screen

Snow white and black

Deep and open

Splashing against the windows

Looking out onto a three-terrace town

Theres a garden, grey-green

And cherry blossoms

Get in in the morning (all seasons here, saved for a rainy day)

Climb in beside you (a part of a hole)

Watch the clock for half an hour (an orange and its peel)

Its cold on the outside

Theres steam on the windows (a star in a night sky)

And I put myself there all the time (a gentle beauty)

You let me forget again

And I snore on and on

You let me forget again

Forget how it feels to be wrong

If I could show [bad word] (funny how everything makes you feel low when youre already low)

But [bad word] so [bad word] now (lying on the bed, the lightbulb banging down)

Fall over on my words (get up, pull the sheet from the window, to see the rain [bad word] down)

That peace when the door slams (downstairs theres hot coffee, sit down to a cigarette)

Soon shattered [ ? ] (down to the filter, another and down to my last)

I came so well-oiled (another and my last penny)

You let me forget again (4 a.m. 6 feet down. already up with the larks)

And I came stumbling through

You let me forget again (4 a.m. 6 feet down. already up with the larks)

Forget what I always knew
