go past the cemetery, up the track, through the hole in the fence, up the stairway to heaven and drink an apple juice. if its particularly sunny take a snickers ice cream bar. oooofff.

the other day me joe crywank and poodle went and played some songs up in joe’s secret place. watch the playlist to see everyones stuff. this is my one. i was going to call it run but it sounded waaaay to coldplay. so i called it ‘don’t date musicians’, for innumerable reasons, the main 2 being that 1. you will have songs written about you and 2. we are all egotistical melodramatic over-sensitive fools..

your face is strange when you’re asleep/ the crinkles round your eyes smooth out/ you’re ageless/ and far from any ground that we’ve both walked

you got your sights on the farthest lands/ behind which the sun rolls where we can’t see/ you got your dreams in another place/ no potential in this time or in this space

and i know you’ll run/ and that i’ll stay/ build what i can with what i have cos darling that’s my way/ and i wrote this song on your guitar while you were chasing trains

i got my sights on a fallow land/ the sun rises and it sets upon my kin/ not all my dreams feature your face/ you’re not the only man to make my heart race

and i know you’ll run and that i’ll stay/ build what i can with what i have cos darling that’s my way/ and i wrote this song on your guitar while you were chasing trains/ i know you’ll run and that i’ll stay/ oh i wrote this song on your guitar while you were chasing trains/ i don’t believe there’s answers out in some other place

so when you run/ and if i stay/ then i’ll play this song on my guitar and think of you old flame/ and hope that you find answers in someone elses face/ but most of all i hope you find somewhere that you feel safe.

Ace time at the rivalries blanket fort yesterday. Considering my future career as a sleeping bag related stunts woman. I met some excellent new people and got a very nice foot rub. We went to the pub in our jammies after and all was pleasant until I woke a few hours later to the reality of the hard floor of the blanket fort and bodily consequences of the jäger bomb deal. The girl I sat next to on one of my trains home was listening to the Skints on her headphones, if I wasn’t concentrating very hard on not chucking up on public transport (it’s just a bit uncool isn’t it) I would definitely have started singing along to freak her out.

My housemate chunky took this photo of my Give Use A Smile Love sculpture now I’ve sprayed it with reflective spray paint. It needs a few more coats but the spray is pretty much transparent until you shine a light on it or take a photo with a flash. I want to coat the bigger version of this sculpture in this stuff so that it gets lit up intermittently by passing car headlights, but I have much experimenting to do..
