The ventricle I left

 It was the ventricle I left

The same one I had no right

To be in

I was lost in your heart

Bereft

I turned down a one way street

Going against the flow

Your heart beat to my feet

But no further could I go

The city's hustle and bustle

Was too much for me

A busful of fat tourists

Looking for Cathedrals

And Vaults, Crypts and Mausoleums

Just nothing of the mournful museums

I left the chambers of commerce

I left the hallowed halls

I left all my promises

Behind the bars of prison walls

I kept visiting the prisoner

But my words felt hollow

I kept my vigil

In arteries, that led to capillaries

In chrysalis that hung like carcasses

In cold stores of the heart

But the butcher came out

And asked me what I wanted to eat

He said you can eat your heart out

But I ain't giving you no free meat

I had to pay on credit

I've got an account at the heart foundation

But I left the ventricle

Ashamed by my humiliation

I should have had the courage

To go in and ask for what I wanted

But I've always waited to be given

When others deem me daunted

Yet to be a rich man owning a city

To be a working man making a living

What can discourage you? Need no pity

To walk like a rooster, ready and willing

To bet it all, on a game of chance

No to given nothing except a dance

In the hall of the second glances

In the tower of freelances

Waiting to free the maiden of work

From the fell clutches of her enslaver

The dragon of capitalist return

The serpent of endeavour

The vacuum of a worthless worm

Who has ensnared her

My sink overfloweth with love

 Like the sea and the sand

Like the river and the land

We go together hand in hand

Hold me forever, I'll be your man

Give over, the shoulder, leg of lamb

It's a lamb to the slaughter

Water on the lam

Water daughter never taught her

How to stay close at hand

She always ran off from the land

I'm a king of fishes, I'm a fisher of kings

I'm making wishes I don't how to begin

Leave me in the lake

Let me drown, I think it's a mistake

That I wear this crown

Will you hold my life in your hands?

It's like water through the holes

Like using a sieve to catch sand

I've been borrowed before

I've cut and run

I've bet it all on a ball

Or a roulette hand

Show me how to fall

Let me tear it all down

I can't hear your call

Now I'm a wanted man

Right in the heart

 There was a time when waters flowed

When feet tapped to the drummer's art

When people danced and bands played

When rivers ran right in the heart

When church bells tolled

When markets stalled

When children schooled

Right in the heart

There was a time when snow drops sprang

When church bells rang

When prison's cart

And so when men believed

In nation's pride right in the heart

Right in the heart the spirit sprang

The choirs sang

The sun rays dart

When skies brighten as dark clouds depart

And future's form in solid gold

Moulded in, right in the heart

And on palisades, or in rocky glades

where cider's made, a cunning craft

Where times have changed

But some things remained

Because they stayed right in the heart

The Amulet, and church a couplet

A twin, like chalk and cheese

So far from each other's trouble

But in a bubble of cider's seas

And the bubble burst

All the thirst was scattered seeds

So gather up and sow again

In fertile earth

The rain will fall, new life it calls

will spring forth out of the dark

As things must turn right before the dawn

And kindle fire right in the heart

Chim cheroo sperm whale

 Sperm whale, sperm whale

Your frothy white foam

Stuck in the foam

White frothy foam

All there of, when they find they've got off

With their brothers and sisters

There's so many replicas of thee

I'll have to go back the sperm whale sea

Sperm whale, sperm whale

Where do you roam

Spreading your sperm all over the sea

You've made me a

Hoping to spread as far as can be

If the world's a lesbian

What would we be

A lesbian leviathan so deep in the sea

Only

to beat the beat at the sperm whale bank

Oh sperm whale, sperm whale where do you wank?

I've got you to thank you

The scan came back and it was all black and blue

Did you do it with a blue whale?

Oh well who knew

You've given your sperm out

And cast your net wide

Could it be your own daughter

Is even your bride?

I wish you would keep it

Inside your pants

But Sperm whale, sperm whale

Have you never heard of chants

I shall not ejaculate into the ocean

There are plenty more fish in the sea

 

Sperm whale, sperm whale oh where can you be

Searching the Aegean

The island of Lesbos

Hoping for yes woman to say yes boss

Putting these children inside of me

Did you do it on purpose with a porpoise

I'd like to know why you smile at me

And be my husband 

With incestuous children

Sperm whale where did you go

I heard a little secret all about you

That you've fathered ten thousand cetaceans

In a dozen different blue oceans

And now I don't know who's a cousin

of me

Just because you're a lesbian leviathan

It doesn't give you the right

to turkey baste my father and bring me to life

Sperm donor sperm donor where are you are roaming

beware of the whale who's always a homing

Around the isle of Lesbos

You had your way with a dolphin

And a right whale the wrong way round

The frothy sperm of the Dauphin

Who where's the frothy white crown

Jerking off a sperm whale

There's already too many

May as well have a sperm sale

Of the cetacean century

Sperm whale, sperm whale

did you take off your clothes

And do it with a dolphin

Who had a bottlenose?

Did you try with a hammer head

Or wasn't she your type

Oh tell me is there anywhere

Your willy hasn't wiped?

I heard even you'd danced in the dark

With a tiger, a great white, even a nursing shark

So many babies in so many seas

And I'm even one of them

Oh whoopey for me 

Sperm whale, sperm whale

Your genetics are skewed

And now they're spread far and wide

Because of how much you've screwed

Killer sperm

Humpback sperm

Your sperm to the left of me

 and your sperm to the right

They'll be nothing left of me

But many more mouths that bite

There's a gps signal lost

As the sperm whale cruises down the coast

Looking for his next victim

For him to inject himself in

The Sperm whale loves to boast

Trains in Spain

 The trains in Spain

Crash mainly on the plain

Now why is that?

The dragon in my chimney

 Time is rotting space away

I wish I could stay

time is a rabble

There's a dragon in my chimney

Saving face at break of day

I wish I could stay

But I have to travel

Peaches and nectarines

Summer fruit from afar

And I am an equestrian

Person standing at the bar

The bores and the idiots

Have removed to mars

But the floating cool ones

Oh those who make life

Look easy, oh those endlessly

Confident and interesting

When Spanish runs out

But never the stout

Oh to be among that number

When the saints come marching in

Comedy

 Sat through a comedy

It's all such a fucking comedy

But at least they're trying to be funny

Sending themselves up on stage

Playing the fool,

It's a reason to live after all

But they weren't that funny

Even the werewolf compere

Who wasn't meant to be funny

As a foil

That somehow elevates the comedians

Above the level of the ordinary

By contrast

Even her

With her assassin's face

She looked like a Rebecca

As unreachably attractive

As any I've known

Those who know their own looks

But perhaps

That's all they have

What a low down dirty mood I'm in

The coming storm

The waiting for it

And now it's here, wet and depressing

As if it will never end

How am I meant to make light of

Weather that wants to turn you

Into a slug?

I respect them these comedians

I don't find them that funny

But I respect them
