SURREAL DEAL
Flashing down the highway
Where I’m sure you’ve never been
Passing your supporters
In their floats and limousines
Following your footsteps in the opposite way
Rushing so the wind ruffles my soul
Facing your chameleon-like dress
Which tends infinite
Untouchable amber topaz
The corsairs can’t resist
They step the starving tapestry that surrounds your wilderness
While escaping from the dinosaur at dawn
Creeping down the alley
Proletarian side of town
Some kind of Art Garfunkel
At the bathroom with his frown
Gatsby’s apparition at the hall, roses in the hand
Inappropriate questions pricking soft

HALFWAY THROUGH
Once you let me in
Then you pulled me out
Many usual things did happen
Love was loosing ground
I gently waited
You rudely spoke
Then you filled my hand
There you knocked me down
Wasn’t really hard to notice
That you’d lost your crown
And springtime melted
Behind your veil
I did try to work it out
What about…
What about you?
Would you tell me something else?
Something that’s preferably true
I’ve now paved my way
‘Cross lavender fields
May appear simplistic
But Marianne knows how I feel
And I’ve found shelter
Within her breast
We’re always on the road
Tesco’s meal in hand
Rarely playing within the boundaries
Of our changing plans
With miles behind us
And days ahead
I’ve been trying to figure out
If what I’ve found has something from you
But I won’t get stuck this time
I won’t resign halfway through

MRS BELBECK
Another day the sun will shine and come along
And Mrs Belbeck woke up in the same old bed
She looked and said “hello good morning dear”
And Mr Belbeck answered with a rude snore
Went downstairs put on her shoes and step the street
Bound for the market as she did the day before
Once again she’ll always choose the cheapest price
And carry home those bags filthy weight
Aaaaah life ain’t like the movies
Aaaaah…
Again at home she’ll cook her speciality
To satisfy her hungry tired family
Then watch TV and see how fortunate become
People appearing in the electronic box
The boys got home and wake her from a precious dream
She’ll face tomorrow looking for something new
Aaaaah life ain’t like the movies
Aaaaah…
Another day the sun will shine and come along
And Mrs Belbeck woke kilometres away
She looked around and said “hello good morning dear”
And Mr Belbeck… Mr Belbeck wasn’t there

Shiny Coloured Waistcoat

SHINY COLOURED WAISTCOAT
I can’t remember how
I sat down in that room
Of multicolour shining
The night was open wide
You scrawled upstairs
And waited for me there, smiling
The helicopter sounded
And so your wooden floor
Outside our bench being pounded
At home Marine Corps landed
Inside your velvet bed
The country singer glances
I’ve never been so sure
I didn’t find it real
‘Cause everywhere I looked I couldn’t find my fears
Your familiar face
So many yearning’s fate
Your shinning coloured waistcoat
Enlighten streets ‘round here
Don’t mind you’re arriving late
My only aim is to deserve you
I’ve grown and so I’ve learnt
We couldn’t stop our time
It’s hard and so
I choose to be here by your side
And now I’m sitting here
You might not see me now
But I’m so close behind you
For every time I’ll be
Despite you’re miles away
It would be so hard without you
We've been away from home
We've been away so far
We've been away before the road starts

Moses Rubin Leeds, UK
Moses Rubin is born from the northern winds that have brought me back to my homeland carrying a rucksack full of songs, experiences, eagerness and the necessity of going it alone in what is my first adventure as a solo artist.
