Brief Encounter][01:39.267]A spider wanders aimlessly within the warmth of a shadow[01:45.183]Not the regal creature of border caves[01:49.991]But the poor, misguided, directionless familiar[01:54.971]Of some obscure Scottish poet[02:00.930]The mist crawls from the canal[02:03.306]Like some primordial phantom of romance[02:06.170]To curl, under a cascade of neon pollen[02:11.387]While I sit tied to the phone like an expectant father[02:16.646]Your carnation will rot in a vase.[02:22.632][II. Lost Weekend][02:23.351]A train sleeps in a siding[02:24.912]The driver guzzles another can of lager[02:33.068]To wash away the memories of a Friday night down at the club[02:43.370]She was a wallflower at sixteen[02:46.029]She'll be a wallflower at thirty four[02:54.271]Her mother called her beautiful[02:58.350]Her daddy said, "A whore".[03:04.612][III. Blue Angel][04:08.379]The sky was Bible black in Lyon[04:12.453]When I met the Magdalene[04:16.097]She was paralysed in a streetlight[04:19.289]She refused to give her name[04:22.883]And a ring of violet bruises[04:26.777]They were pinned upon her arm.[04:30.367]Two hundred francs for sanctuary and she led me by the hand[04:36.760]To a room of dancing shadows where all the heartache disappears[04:44.902]And from glowing tongues of candles I heard her whisper in my ear[04:51.260]"'J'entend ton coeur"[04:59.770]I can hear your heart[05:51.111][IV. Misplaced Rendezvous][06:08.468]It's getting late, for scribbling and scratching on the paper[06:14.969]Something's gonna give under this pressure[06:18.999]And the cracks are already beginning to show[06:24.574]It's too late[06:26.966]The weekend career girl never boarded the plane[06:31.434]They said this could never happen again[06:35.774]So wrong, so wrong[06:40.624]This time it seems to be another misplaced rendezvous[06:48.503]This time, it's looking like another misplaced rendezvous[06:56.353]With you[07:00.102]The parallel of you, you[07:12.998][V. Windswept Thumb][07:21.346]On the outskirts of nowhere[07:23.538]On the ringroad to somewhere[07:25.600]On the verge of indecision[07:27.379]I'll always take the roundabout way[07:33.856]Waiting on the rain[07:35.737]For I was born with a habit, from a sign[07:41.954]The habit of a windswept thumb[07:44.878]And the sign of the rain[07:50.908]rain on it
