The constraints and limitations of this form are well known
But we can only use what we have
I have a voice and a hope
That is a starting place.

Tell me in this cold war that fear isn't king
Tell me East German nothings and that le Carre is a liar
To jump, just to see what would happen
If you weren't machine-gunned before you land.

They're searching, I know what I'm looking for. To take it?
Give me time, make it easier.
Unkempt, in pretend squalor because warehouses are beautiful when they're broken - (like people? Like you?)
I've built cultural touchstones from times, places and experiences I've never been
We'll be revolutionaries tonight (in uncertainty).

In the grove of oranges and poplars
A heady communion with the grass
But we aren't hippies
On marches stern lovers
But we aren't anarchists
Wearing our armbands and our fashion
But we aren't spoilt.
From a time unrealised in our lifetimes, we are,
And old dreams still waiting come back.
