I) Brief Encounter
  ---------------
Chord diagramA augmentedA spider wanders aimlessly within the warmth of a shadow,
Not the regal creature of border caves,
But the poor, misguided, directionless familiar
Of some obscure Scottish poet.
The mist crawls from the canal
Like some primordial phantom of romance
To curl, under a cascade of neon pollen.
While I sit tied to the phone like an expectant father.
Your carnation will rot in a vase.

II) Lost Weekend
  ------------
Chord diagramA augmentedA train sleeps in a siding,
The driver guzzles another can of lager, lager.
To wash away the memories of a Friday night down at the club.
She was a wallflower at sixteen,
She`ll be a wallflower at thirty four.
Her mother called her beautiful.
Her daddy said, (a whore).

IV) Misplaced Rendezvous
  --------------------
It`s getting late, for scribbling and scratching on the paper.
Something`s gonna give under this pressure,
And the cracks are already beginning to show,
It`s too late.
The weekend career girl never boarded the plane.
They said this could never happen again.
Oh, so wrong, so wrong.

V) Windswept Thumb
  ---------------
On the outskirts of nowhere,
On the ring road to somewhere,
On the verge of indecision,
I`ll always take the roundabout way,
Waiting on the rain.
For I was born with a habit, from a sign.
The habit of a windswept thumb.
And the sign of the rain,
(rain on me)


Great Marillion Track. Hope someone finds it useful. Enjoy..............
