From the album BookTape (2018).

lyrics

We sell books, a small shop in a big city
I work weekends and get to read the books for free.
The ones I finish I buy eventually.

We sell books and in the winter we serve free coffee,
the customers like it and we're always busy.

Life without books just isn't as much fun.

Cos I don't know a thing about me.
I'm warm and I twitch and I'm sure that we look ugly when we kiss.
But in the few books I chose to read through:

I clasp the sublime.
Theirs feel like mine
and cause a bright night time and drink me deep,
I know why dogs kick in their sleep.
A book of poems and haikus
feel like raw meat on the bruise.
Complicate plots and character arches,
written with more heart than a deck of cards.
Inspire what can't be taught, "words carry less weight than thoughts".

Catatonic distraction is better known these days as daydreaming.
A plot twist of earthquake proportions signals your victory,
so I'll put down my running shoes, cos like you I don't like to move.
