THE RISE OF TOLLUND MAN:

And there were dogs,
Running,
Sitting,
Lying between the legs of the people,
Big dogs,
Small dogs,
Hairy dogs,
Smooth as silk dogs,
Some that look like fish,
Some that looked born for snow,
All of them happy,
A mountain knows how to treat a dog

FALLEN ANGEL:

It was a beautiful sunny day,
Snow on the ground,
Up on top of the mountain,
People gathered in heavy boots and shades,
Smoking cigarettes,
Drinking beer,
Talking,
Laughing,
Sharing the food they’d carried up with them

BROKEN FLAG:

She had a weird way of walking her dogs,
Holding their front paws in the air,
Their back legs walking on the ground,
Like fur covered people,
They never bit her when she did that to them,
So that tells you something

IT TOUCHED YOUR LIPS:

You go dancing to the sound of lounge piano players,
They move from hotel to hotel,
Giving everybody what they need,
Drunks in love for one night only,
And the ones who wouldn’t have been caught dead,
Dancing to this when they were young
