Jack Penate Matinee Lyrics
1.Spit At Stars

Living without reason, Dwarfed, Alone, Imprisoned,
wondering why I'm here at all.
Why I'm even trying destined to be filing
the higher you reach the harder you fall.
And then you say, we're all the same,
all got our dreams, are loose at their seams.
cos we all spit at stars.
we all spit at stars.
we all spit at stars.

Unifying facts however we act we feel
we've not made our true gold.
Something we can see but not reach or be
can leave you dead in a hole.
dreams are all the same, we're all the same,
all got our dreams, are loose at their seams.
cos we all spit at stars
we all spit at stars.
we all spit at stars.

You don't get what you don't deserve,
Don't expect the world will know what that's absurd
Learn to spit, up towards the stars
Cos who knows soon your spit will land on Mars.

and then you'll say, we're all the same,
all got our dreams, loose at their seams
cos we all spit at stars.
we all spit at stars.
we all spit at stars.


2.Got My Favourite

I've got my favourite pair of creps on
The ones with golden samaris sewn on
Each step is skipped when they are thrown on
Feet are swift so I bowl on

I got my favourite army dog tag
The one I got one day with my Dad
We watched the planes loop and the clouds sag
The sky was filled with smoke drag

Of course i know that these are all for show
To decorate our limbs and let us know
That through these things a constant love will flow
With them we are not on our own

I've got my favourite Westwood coat on
The one from Alice who I dote on
I am a pirate and I float on
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

Of course i know that these are all for show
To decorate our limbs and let us know
That through these things a constant love will flow
With them were are not on our own

Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite

I got my favourite gold signet ring
The one that gives me power to sing
From my mum who I owe all things
Love forevers written within

Of course we know that these are all for show
To decorate our limbs and let us know
That through these things a constant love will flow
With them we are not on our own

Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite

Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite
Got my favourite


3.Have I Been A Fool

We made amends but nothings mended
As what I gave can not be mended
I led you on but leadings wrong

I made a meal of it and stumbled
We both knew that my cookie crumbled
I led you on but leadings wrong

A kiss is just a kiss
I think that's what fools say
But that is what this is

Have I been a fool? Just say, say, say
Have I been a fool? Just say
Have I been a fool? Just say

Have I been a fool? Just say

You made a mountain of a molehill
Well that's what I will tell myself still
I led you on and leadings wrong

I made a meal of it and stumbled
We both knew that my cookie crumbled
I led you on but leading's wrong

A kiss is just a kiss
I think that's what fools say
But that is what this is

Have I been a fool? Just say, say, say
Have I been a fool? Just say
Have I been a fool? Just say, say, say
Have I been a fool? Just say

I've been told I'm cruel
Due to what I do
I've been told I'm cruel
To you

Have I been a fool? Just say
Have I been a fool? Just say, say, say
Have I been a fool? Just say
Have I been a fool? Just say


4.Torn On The Platform

Once more just before I'm leaving
Torn on the platform
Once more just before I'm leaving
Torn on the platform

Cos I miss you and I love you
And I know this is over for mow
Cos I miss you, ohh, how I miss you
You're not my girl you're my town

A weekend away, leave the city today
Don't want the big smoke to leave me behind
The train leaves at 2, platform 3 Waterloo
50 p to the tramp makes me feel kind

I get a good seat, with a window my feet
Are up on the one in front everyone stares
Why do they care, like theres feelings in chairs
Trapped for 3 hours until I get there
Cos my eyes, eyes, eyes
Are not dry, dry, dry
As I realise, ise, ise
That in a few minutes this train will be gone
Sighs, sighs, sighs
City fly's, fly's, fly's
Wonder why, why, why
Would anyone want to leave where I come from?
Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform

It's 1.58 wish that I had been late
And missed the train and given them an excuse
But what is the use,
I've less slack than a noose
Do or die stay or go what shall I choose
Cos my eyes, eyes, eyes
Are not dry, dry, dry
As I realise, ise, ise
That in a few minutes this train will be gone
Sighs, sighs, sighs
City fly's, fly's, fly's
Wonder why, why, why
Would anyone want to leave where I come from?
Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform

Like in a film the motion starts to slow
As the beeping carriage doors begin to close
Momenterily I'm standing froze
Then I jump between the gap
Land on the platform flat
I'm not
Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform
Torn on the platform


5.Learning Lines

When things have been said so many times
You repeat back as if your learning lines
It's so easy to fall into this trap
Cos once you get there, you can't get back

As I get older I wonder what I'll do
When I make my own choices
and they say its up to you
Cos right now I'm feeling safe its all the same
But in a few years if I'm nowhere its me to blame

Picture frame, books and shelves,
not afraid by myself
Metal strings, glowing tubes,
Bessie Smith, sings the blues
Key and lock, dirty clothes,
misunderstood poets prose
Dreaming with open minds,
repeating back, learning lines
Learing lines, learning lines, learning lines

Learing lines

People around seem to have their heads screwed on
But dreaming's become my life
I'm finding it hard to move on
It'd be so easy if I wanted to charter survey
Knowing my future down to a year or a day

Picture frame, books and shelves,
not afraid by myself
Metal strings, glowing tubes,
Bessie Smith, sings the blues
Key and lock, dirty clothes,
misunderstood poets prose
Dreaming with open minds,
repeating back, learning lines
Learing lines, learning lines, learning lines

Learing lines

Picture frame, books and shelves,
not afraid by myself
Metal strings, glowing tubes,
Bessie Smith, sings the blues
Key and lock, dirty clothes,
misunderstood poets prose
Dreaming with open minds,
repeating back, learning lines
Learing lines, learning lines, learning lines


6.Run For Your Life

On city streets you need to
Be careful who you speak to
Or look at or touch
As that's enough
To get you in too deep

Oh what a laugh to hurt one
Humiliate and merc one
A country in need
Where bloods don't bleed
What are you going to do?
Victorian, Georgian, Roman or Norman
Before the Gregorian, violence breeds
Don't matter what era,
there's always a fear there
Hop's to make beer there,
that's all you need
It's bait to be fateful but nasty and hateful
People aren't grateful, they sow the seed
Into their offspring, most likely costing
Kids to be fostering idea's that lead to
Fighting, biting
Run for your lives
Shanking, skanking
Run for you lives
Hitting, Spitting
Run for your lives
It'll never change
It'll never change
It'll never change
It'll never change
It'll never change

Run for your lives
Run for your lives

Get your head down when hoods up
Don't you look sharp or fix up
If weapons are words then don't be heard
Silence equals peace
Victorian, Georgian, Roman or Norman
Before the Gregorian, violence breeds
Don't matter what era,
there's always a fear there
Hop's to make beer there,
that's all you need
It's bait to be fateful but nasty and hateful
People aren't grateful, they sow the seed
Into their offspring, most likely costing
Kids to be fostering idea's that lead to
Fighting, biting
Run for your lives
Shanking, skanking
Run for you lives
Hitting, Spitting
Run for your lives
It'll never change
It'll never change
We will never change
We will never change
It'll never change

Run for your lives
Run for your lives
Run for your lives
Run for your lives


7.We Will Be Here

So small, oh so small are we
By we I mean all humanity
Endless universe out in front of me
Some say earth's a tiny obscurity

Maybe in size, but if your wise
And close your eyes
Lose all you're guise
Part of the deal
Is do not conceal
That we can feel
This is all real

The stars can't feel a lovers touch
The kiss that makes your body rush
Embrace your sleeping sweetheart with hush
And the words I love you mean so much

Above in the sky
Diamond lights fly
Makes us think why
We're here then we die

Questions are asked
But Answers don't last
We look to the past
For comfort so Fast

The stars can't feel a lovers touch
The kiss that makes your body rush
Embrace your sleeping sweetheart with hush
And the words I love you mean so much

I can wish upon a star
but wouldn't wish to be that far
I can wish upon a star
but wouldn't wish to be that far
I can wish upon a star
but wouldn't wish to be that far
I can wish upon a star
but wouldn't wish to be that far
I can wish upon a star
but wouldn't wish to be that far

When times passed so long
When the world has gone
There won't be this song
But that isn't wrong

Love will be here
In atoms of tears
Kisses and fears
Live on all years

The stars can't feel a lovers touch
The kiss that makes your body rush
Embrace your sleeping sweetheart with hush
And the words I love you mean so much

I can wish upon a star
but wouldn't wish to be that far
I can wish upon a star
but wouldn't wish to be that far
I can wish upon a star
but wouldn't wish to be that far
I can wish upon a star
but wouldn't wish to be that far

We will be here


8.Made Of Codes

The small divides along the sides of rulers
always amazed me
Closer you look the more it took
your eyes off reality
It's very rare that I don't stare at objects
to find beauty
Hope I don't seem to talk pompously,
try and look abstactly

If you don't see we're all made of codes
Deciphering is the game we're all in
If you don't see we're all made of codes
Deciphering is the game we're all in

The New York sky is cut by lines
of metal tubes protruding
When one's within it gets quite dim
as you're just one included
Look between the glossy sheen
and the shapes emerging
Heaven laughs while breaking past
tiny cracks that's serging

If you don't see we're all made of codes
Deciphering is the game we're all in
If you don't see we're all made of codes
Deciphering is the game we're all in

The different lands are trapped in hands of rulers
making us think
The worlds not ours,
these ancient scars do not show anything, but
This is trite, it is our right to do
that's all we possess
No one owns what natures grown,
this truth they must confess
It's a constant cycle so hurry
Do all you can before you're buried
Powers try to hide and ferry us through time
Ferry us through life
Ferry us through life

If you don't see we're all made of codes
Deciphering is the game we're all in
If you don't see we're all made of codes
Deciphering is the game we're all in


9.My Yvonne

Boy in love
I wish that I was Meaulnes
Look above
And watch your window glow

Feed the past
Even though I'm grown
Love can last
It never truly goes

So I sit and I wait steal a cart,
navigate to your castle
Home in a forest, overgrown

So I sit and I wait steal a cart,
navigate to your castle
Home in your forest, overgrown

My yvonne (oh...)
My yvonne (oh...)
My yvonne (oh...)
My yvonne (oh...)
My yvonne

Through the years
We lost each others souls
Through the years
So much to be resolved

So I sit and I wait steal a cart,
Navigate to your castle
Home in your forest, overgrown

So I sit and I wait steal a cart,
Navigate to your castle
Home in your forest, overgrown

My yvonne (oh...)
My yvonne (oh...)
My yvonne (oh...)
My yvonne (oh...)
My yvonne


10.Second, Minute or Hour

Seperated, and negated, it seems fated,
we have to find out more.
Do you want me? tell me properly,
or just stop me its you that I adore.

I can't wait for another second minute or hour
I can't wait it's all your choice it's in your power
I can't wait for another second minute or hour
I can't wait it's all your choice it's in your power.
I lost my head when I found my heart
But now with neither I've fallen all apart
With this voice and chord
I'll tell you from the start
She never wanted me, she never wanted me.

I act stupid, due to cupid, my love's rooted,
you'll have to dig down deep,
Mixed emotion, fixed devotion,
Your magic potion you sprinkle as I sleep.

I can't wait for another second minute or hour
I can't wait it's all your choice it's in your power
I can't wait for another second minute or hour
I can't wait it's all your choice it's in your power.
I lost my head when I found my heart
But now with neither I've fallen all apart
With this voice and chord
I'll tell you from the start
She never wanted me, she never wanted me,
She never wanted me.

With you I can't imagine being alone
Without you I can see how much I've grown
Coz you made me what I am today
Have you gave me all that I can take

I lost my head when I found my heart
But now with neither I've fallen all apart
With this voice and chord
I'll tell you from the start
She never wanted me, she never wanted me,
She never wanted me, she never wanted me.


11.When We Die

When we die, when we die
When we die, when we die

Will our bones be left in strange lands
And our grave be dug by cold hands
When we die, when we die
When we die, when we die

Will their tears wash the church away
And their cries smash the stain glass panes
When we die, when we die

Or will it be another lonely morning for the preist
No dearly beloved gathered for the deceased

When we die, when we die
Will you cry, will you cry

Will you tie ribbons round blue flowers
Then you place them to be devoured
By the sky, when we die
When I die, when I die

Or will it be another lonely morning for the preist
No dearly beloved gathered for the deceased

When we die, when we die
When I die, when I die
When I die, when I die
When I die, when I die

When things have been said so many times
You repeat back as if your learning lines
It's so easy to fall into this trap
Cos once you get there, you can't get back

As I get older I wonder what I'll do
When I make my own choices
and they say its up to you
Cos right now I'm feeling safe its all the same
But in a few years if I'm nowhere its me to blame

Picture frame, books and shelves,

Metal strings, glowing tubes,

Learing lines, learning lines, learning lines

Learing lines

People around seem to have their heads screwed on
But dreaming's become my life
I'm finding it hard to move on
It'd be so easy if I wanted to charter survey
Knowing my future down to a year or a day
