These lyrics were written especially for a collaboration with J. Lang.

Scratch the surface

You asked me to be your lover
But you’re no friend of mine
Tussles under the cover
Don’t make love sublime

98 point 6 degrees is all good and fine
But after smoke has cleared
Will we still want to try?

Roses and boxes of chocolates
Are just props in a film
If there’s no deeper fulfillments
We float in empty air

Cupid’s a wry little fellow
He saunters in with a grin
But when you’re alone with a pillow
He leaves you crying

They say ‘we look good together”
A page in a magazine…
But will your eye start to wander
When I have left the scene?

Thoughts paint you in a corner
You can’t feel what is true.
What about that guy on a barstool
Who looks so sad and blue?

More stories wait to be written
More fish in the sea
But what use are such words of wisdom
When you’re left empty……………

You asked me to be your lover
But you’re no friend of mine
Tussles under the cover
Don’t make love sublime


More stories wait to be written
More fish in the sea
But what use are such words of wisdom
When you’re left empty……………
