now open up the day
this is what I say
we’re not here to stay so
open up the day
you might think I’m preaching to the birds
or repeating what I overheard
open up the
say what you want that’s ok
see for yourself open up the day
open up the day
sit at loggerheads
might as well be dead
although you’re crucified
that was days gone by
you might think I’m preaching to the birds
or repeating what I heard
open up the day
say what you want that’s ok
see for yourself open up the day
open up the day
floating agency
we are people
won’t you take a leaf
yeah floating agency
I’m a person
just like you, and me
what came it went
now we’re here again
the emptiness destroys the fence
you might think I’m preaching to the birds
or repeating what I heard
open up the day
say what you want that’s ok
see for yourself open up the day
open up the day

Palisades – by Pip
one peninsula from a distance seen
you don’t where you’ll land
upon white or green
fluttering on a pole a strange symbol
unknown what it means
we sailors are not told
up the escalade
o’er the palisades
all the surrogate friends
and fleeting mates
nothing can hold you in place
it was a trek without the sun
and now we’re done
the course is run

Falling up the Jolley Cut
Rolling up the Cut
rockin by the juts
falling up to speed
burdens fall away
transfigured day
falling up you can see
you can see
falling up I'm falling up
thinking up all kinds of stuff
falling up
falling up
rolling up the Jolley Cut
itching soul
scratching hole
times they were tough
rolling up the Cut
rolling up the Jolley Cut
never turning down what's up
rolling up the Jolley,
rolling up the Jolley Cut
Jolley rocking juts turned up
Rolling up the Cut....
Lifting lured
transfigured
electroline
travelling shrine
to the mountain brow
to the here and now

Pip – Meteor
numinous meteor
casting grace as
my own shadow
riding by the stars Orion/ the lion
faces big as galaxies
the trouble with the times is flying
planets flung from their degrees
oh…
do you talk about the changes
do you remain mute
what is mutability but
lets you ride the shooting meteor
