MAY BLOSSOM:

Home from the North,
Jump through the sky-hole,

Pack another case,
The garden,

May blossom,
Greens & whites,

Sunlit,
Essex,

The best time of the year,
And I’m leaving…

(Listening to Alice Coltrane)

(K)

CROSSING OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE:

Manchester,
Birthday,
Northern soul,
Essex is a state of mind,
Keep dancing

(K)

YOU TELL YOURSELF IT CAN’T BE DONE & THEN YOU GO OH YEAH IT CAN:

Loud mouth laughing (don’t come from around here),
Big Yellow machines,
(Slipping through streets before the world wakes up),
Little boy in colours (made a long journey),

Pilgrimage,
Are you up for it?

You awake?
This is not a public place,

What’s your number?
It’s got a six in it

(K)

PUB ROCK:

You got it all wrong,
What you did with the sound,
You messed it up,
In your cage,
In your tights jeans,
An died black hair,
Behind the bar,
I heard you laughing,

It’s no joke,
We come miles,
Took wrong turns on the motorway,
Suffering horns,
Beneath the bridge,
And death wish bikers,
City drivers are so rude,

It’s ‘me’ time now,
Under cardboard clouds,
Mirror balls on the ceiling,
Fairy lights in the smoking garden,
Disinfectant & grease,
All the boys & all the girls,
Huddle around tables,
Rolling skinny ones,
Exchanging fire,
Beneath arbours of nicotine stains,

Can I ask for one more favour?
Turn up the bass!

Swinger,
Change the capsule,

Space cadet,
Get off the phone,

(K)

WEIRD/AMAZING:

It’s not easy to say no,
Well,
I remember once,
A comment,
I don’t mind,
It doesn’t really,
Yeah,
Matter,
It’s the only way,
Weird,
Amazing

(Listening to: Kasai Allstars – ‘Around Félicité’)

(K)

EVERYTHING:

Here comes the bus,
Here comes the walker,
Here comes the message,
Here comes the opening,
Here comes the traffic jam,
The Black,
The White,
The silver,
Here comes a mouth talking silence,
Here comes a hand in pocket,
Fishing for a wallet,
Here comes obsession,
The particular placement of objects on a table,
Idle chatter,
Loose tongues in corners,
Here comes the cake,
Here comes the christening,
Here comes a star,
Here comes a spoonful,
Everything

(Listening to ‘Metrics’ by Stephan Meidell)

ASSESSING THE DAMAGE:

Click,
Click,
Click,
The finger,

Dance,
Dance,
Dance,
The thumb,

Give me the classic “I’m tired”,
Too many times,
Too many trains,
Give me double vision

(K)

MIDNIGHT WALKER:

I heard screaming,
I heard roaring,
I heard car horns,
I heard traffic lights,
I heard drunks howling,
I heard night clubs,
Pubs,
Security guards being abused,
Smokers whispering in doorways,
Music from roof tops,
I heard rivers,
I heard silence,
I heard you looking

(K)

DIRECTION:

It’s so massive,
Four hours crazy,
Yeah

(K)
