Karaoke Bites

I know you think I’m with you until something better comes along
I know you think I’m joking when I say we’re still strong
I travelled the world with you
I moved house when you wanted to
One day we rented bicycles and rode out to the river Kwai
Cruising karaoke boats drift past us singing songs in Thai
The prisoners of war, they built this bridge from shore to shore
Get shit faced on a shoe string is the sign across the no name bar
You can take a tuk-tuk or a songthaew or a motorcar
A family of five, .can squeeze onto a Honda bike
And if you’ve seen it all before, you can hide behind your bedroom door
And you can tell me all you saw
Cos I’m not looking anymore
Sleep tight, sleep tight, don’t let the karaoke bite
I know you think I’m with you cos there’s nothing better going on
I know you think I’m joking when I say nothing’s wrong
I counted the stars for you, you told me that you wanted to
One day we rented cyclos and we rode out to see Ho Chi Minh
I would tell you all about him, but I don’t know where to begin
The dead man’s beard was fine, I would grow one if I had the time
And if you’ve heard this all before, you can hide behind your bedroom door
And you can tell me all you saw
Cos I’m not looking anymore
Sleep tight, sleep tight, don’t let the karaoke bite

I’ve got mountains in my sunglasses
But dust in my eyes
The altitude and lack of air
It plays with my mind
I haven’t had a drop to drink
But I’m feeling drunk
There’s no way I’ll be descending though
‘Til I reach the top
Lack of oxygen
Need some acclimatisation
And when I reach the top
There’ll be no civilisation
I see the griffin glide
As the sun kisses your forehead
Slide down the glacier
Before you fall down a landslide
I hear the geckos sing
Before they find themselves tongue tied
The Himalayas trust my expedition lust

Hey there rosiebird
Tell me that you’ve heard
That the train to Singapore
Won’t be knocking at your door
So why don’t you fly?
You still have time
You could be there soon
So you could leave this room
So fly, fly, fly
In no time, time, time
You could fly, fly, fly
In no time, time, time
Hey there rosiebee
Tell me that you’ve seen
That the train to Kathmandu
Won’t be calling here for you
So why don’t you climb?
You still have time
There are mountains all around
Get your feet from off the ground
So climb, climb, climb
In no time, time, time
You could climb, climb, climb
In no time, time, time
You can climb, climb, climb?
In no time, time, time
You can climb, climb, climb?
Climb, climb, climb

Write me a Story

Write me a story
An adventure or a mystery
You can make it gory
My imagination’s history
And oh don’t make it long
Oh my attention span has gone
Read me a story
An action or a fantasy
You can make it boring
I just love it when you read to me
And I’ve been taken down those twists and bends
But oh don’t tell me where this story ends
Take me to the movies
And action or a comedy
It can be romantic
A thriller or a tragedy
And oh let’s hope it’s long
I can’t stand it when those lights turn on
