Fleshy Fleshy Pink Pink

Simon Starr

Girls want to show it
boys love to grow it
I took some time to really know it
was my secret destiny

I'm riding down to St.Kilda
these freaks are browner than the dirt
why deny that we know we'll find
just one kind
deep inside

Fleshy fleshy pink pink

(translation from Amharit)
The flesh and blood of every man is the same colour inside

She wanted time to be cured of fleshy fleshy pink pink
but skin is deeper than she thought
so I gave her mine over and over
til she became my convert
when we are sweating
then we know that sex can be more than a reflex

Fleshy fleshy pink pink

Gatsby

Adorn yourself in shine
and catch the morning quirk
living for a brood of 5
and fitting in the work
at the end of the day
you look around your hole
did you get very far
lost your soul on the greasy pole

Absolved of all your guilt
in the afternoon’s embrace
in your cups by the beach
unashamed and off your face
then the phone starts to ring
and desperate duty calls
with your world in deep shit
and not much room left to fall

Attach a small white lie to every pigeon sent
making sure the money flows
even if the truth is bent
as you fall in to bed
the halo’s looking grey
and the last thing she said
“ did you sell some dreams today?”

“I don’t want you to stress
but we’re down to our last cent
though my parents traced the call
the hostage money’s gone and went
come down you silly boy
it’s blue sky all the way
i’ll buy you another toy
you’ll be so glad you stayed”

Gavriel

Olive, pine and carob line the sea
it's hot today again
everything is slow
but me
Gavriel
the Sharkia's outside your window
Gavriel
there are good signs in the stars tonight

And i'll take you there
we'll ride a unicorn
and maybe I can show you how to hold on
and as we stare in to an endless sun
you'll feel the light and space and you are one

Spring has brought you out of your cocoon
emerging on a fragrant night
and a full moon
Gavriel
the Golan is watching over you
Gavriel
there are good signs in the stars tonight

And i'll take you there
to where
you want to go
I'll tell you anything that you want to know
my baby girl i'll roll the magic carpet at your feet
I'll take you there
we'll ride a unicorn
and maybe I can show you how to hold on
and as we stare in to an endless sun
you'll feel the light and space and you are one

How did you know that so fast?
leave something for later
so I can keep pretending that you need me here

The fields are stretching, ready for a sleep
the jackal's song sounds sweet tonight
while you count the sheep
Gavriel i'll watch and guard you
all of your days

And i'll take you there
to where
you want to go
I'll tell you anything that you want to know
my baby girl i'll roll the magic carpet at your feet
I'll take you there
we'll ride a unicorn
and maybe I can show you how to hold on
and as we stare in to an endless sun
you'll feel the light and space and you are one

My baby girl the whole world awaits you

Rising Sun

Nothing in life can remain
rejoice in the sweetness
breathe through the pain

Hard as it is to control
the mind must let go
to free the soul

We can't replace the one we lost
we must carry on with our lives
So we embrace the rising sun
and remember our fallen stars

Where do our feelings reside
where do they go on the final tide

I'm calling you over the sea
this blessing I whisper
so tenderly

We can't replace the one we lost
we must carry on with our lives
So we embrace the rising sun
and remember our fallen stars
