    Summer spoke to winter. Symbolism and personification. Love it!
    I was swimming in the Great Barrier Reef 
    Animals were hiding behind the Coral 
    Except for little Turtle
    I could swear he's trying to talk to me

    Maybe not the BEST one but I really like "love is friction, ripe for comfort."   The contrast of the two sensations but at the same time, realizing you're able to experience both as part of one emotion.  Really well phrased. 
    it's a fragile thing, this life we lead.

    Took my love, to have and to hold. 
    I was swimming in the Great Barrier Reef 
    Animals were hiding behind the Coral 
    Except for little Turtle

    But the world kept a spinnin’
    Always felt like it was ending,
    And love not withstanding,
    We are each of us fucked.

    Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse they forged the north and west
    And you get Sitting Bullshit as our sitting president
    Talking to his mirror, what's he say, what's it say back?
    A tragedy of errors, who’ll be last to have a laugh?

    From Never Destination

    Say see-ya later,.. Never say goodbye
    This is a little trick I play on my own mind

    and then at the end

    So I say til then,.. Never say goodbye
    A little trick I play,.. On my mind

    Quick Escape - 

    Queen cranking on the blaster
    And mercury did rise
    you're god and you've got big hands

    Seven O’Clock:

    His best days gone, hard to admit
    Throwing angry punches with nothing to hit

    Fitting for the times.

    High or low, try again
    She fell off the altar
    A vision you caught of her but then
    A woodcut in red
    I wish it was not you that she had led
    Selfish navigation with no end

    Absolutely about Chris and Vicky...the line 'A Woodcut In Red' is still alluding me for it's true meaning?
