Shining Lyrics

• I wake with the residue of dreams
• Dust of people I’ve known, all the cities I’ve seen
• Doze ten minutes, then alarm sounds
• Up windows thrown open, select CD stereo loaded
• Make lists doable, I plan the order the ticks go in
• Suck sun stream solar power stretch bust press-ups
• Until my ticker kicks blood flowing
• Eyes red, the strain of the past days
• Wash proper, dress, kitchen for fresh fruit breakfast
• Tea, fag, freshen them dentures
• Gum stills receding from old time hedonism
• Mind stays bright through the spring weathers
• Still I step careful, wary of cold corners
• Pleased for each day that the suns still with us
• Force chin higher than the norm is
• Staunch, ‘cause my wristwatch ticks to some Bill Withers
• You know the tune
• Ain’t no sunshine, if you don’t go find it
• I cruise through the routines that’s useful to me
• Keep mind occupied, stay shining

• Yeah she’s gone but the sun’s up
• I press on keep mum, stay shining
• Not a lot of fun, can’t hide it
• I wade through the day with a brain full of Brighton
• Shining

• Yeah I’m broke again, empty pockets
• Coppers scraped spent not on charity boxes
• Yeah I root through bins with the badgers and foxes
• And it’s still just receipts in the wallet
• But I still spark ideas like lead to the socket
• Put practice in, to my rap and my writing
• But not making cash from my writing
• This ain’t a business mind, give a shit about a finish-line
• I got a plan hatched up until dinner time
• After that, well I’m in tonight, sit and write
• Keep the brain stray minimised
• Finish more chipper hit the mic like give me five
• Yeah, then what?
• Well progress is creeping, traffic jam, dead lock
• Cul-de-sac five point turn burn wheel spin
• Stuck to the rear view
• Wondering what the fuck it is tears do
• Get productive, dust off the dirt shell
• Wash face, shake burnt smell
• Yeah I’m slipping through the worst spell
• But my text tone rings like a church bell

• Yeah she’s gone but the sun’s up
• I press on keep mum, stay shining
• Not a lot of fun, can’t hide it
• I wade through the day with a brain full of Brighton
• Shining

• Clipped wing fingertip tap text
• No tickertape for my chest to break through
• Select name, choose reconsider
• Better make do with cigarettes
• I draw hard when I’m more stressed
• So my lungs suffer
• Wake wheezing and grubby covers
• Cough a protest of lung butter, tough day weighing off my eye bags
• Smile lapse snap right back after one cuppa
• I’m not a tall chap, but from my fourth floor flat room the view’s good
• From desk look through glass over rooftop to trees
• Feel breeze, see sky, push walls back
• Park walk when I’m cabin flushed
• I find new ground scratched out of the map I loved
• Fill days, fill calendars
• But shy away from the clicks of your cameras
• Regret steams off a cold morning
• I flap about angry like how should I act now?
• Pen nib pressed out down
• Wrestle that pensive state til it’s tapped out

• Yeah she’s gone but the sun’s up
• I press on keep mum, stay shining
• Not a lot of fun, can’t hide it
• I wade through the day with a brain full of Brighton
• Shining
