THE BUTCHER/PRECIOUS
01:52
|
|||
|
In precious slimy times
I’d easily be your cannibal
Amidst cinema’s lairs
As you face away fair
With butterflies and shoulders bare
Same as swoon and falls
For as long as you are here
My dear, her – here
Precious
Sister with blonde hair
Hours and glasses bare

While . . . looking at buttons . . . and
Prety women . . . Pretty women
We see . . . Sicily . . . we are in
We approach . . . the statue’s town
Pulled from the sea
We see . . . the bird watchers
And the fish of the seas . . . and
Pretty women . . . eating . . . Pretty women

PLEDGE/CHEMIST'S SONG
01:47
|

|
I dreamt where the story began
In good company - good company
When the chemist shut up shop
Shut up shop for the night
Is when the story begins
In a dream or in a dream
It seems it doesn't end
I dreamt where the story began
Both in good company
Is when the story begins

I have no idea
Why we are here

I’m sorry my dear
So let go of your fear
I have no idea
Why we are here
I’m sorry my dear

No matter how much you say it
You know you'll never know it
That's how it is
Nothing you can do about it
That's how it is
Just how it is
Just how it is
Maybe one day you'll see
But you'll have to let it be
That's how it is
That's how it is
Nothing you can do about it

OVERTURE/STORMY WEATHER
03:00
|
|||
|
In stormy weather
- it was night
All was black and white
In the mountains
near the ocean
- like a picture
of a woman standing
Near the piano there
where lightning strikes
- the mountain tops
There is a swan in full flight
- over water calm
there is a swan in flight
Yet it is not
Yet it is not
It's stormy weather
In stormy weather

01:26

You can tell me the truth
If you can see it
You can tell it to me
If you can see it
But if you can't see it
Please tell me anyway
'Cause at the end of the day
You can tell it to me
Either way it's the same
And you can tell it to me

VERTIGO/LAST NIGHT
02:32
|
|||
|
Here's to the right eyed flounder
We ate, together last night
Now on the train after salted egg
Two each, soft boiled, very nice
Passing the ring, sea and rain
I find my head hurts on the right
As temples pass us by
We’re heading north
With Russia to the west, left
North Pacific on our right
The ocean between US and us
Today is another day with you
With ordinary things to do too
In Sapporo, oh, in the rain, oh
Hokkaido, Hokkaido

HORSES/ONCE TWICE
02:13
|
|||
|
You being the one I love
Are you the one
the one I love
despite your love
You being the one I love
In cliffs and falls we dwell
to find out way beyond
to be along - to be along
our way beyond and on

THE DOUBLE/STRANGER
01:56
|
|||
|
Like a stranger
How can I forget
You came up close to me
I didn't see it coming
Hard against my back
Things tore apart
My hand felt the air
There was no turning back
Your face white with sweat
The air was fading fast
I could feel all things past
Now it's time to forget
Never to go back
Never to go back

Then I woke up twice

Aphanisis Records Melbourne, Australia
In the final days she found all was like a mirror, in that wherever she turned she was face to face with time she had left
behind, or so she thought.
In the forest the animals stir and drink as they need to.
Beyond but near to the temple the dark glowing in the forest rises as one from the temple’s form out of the audible silence . . .
