Lyrics

This is sound
This is Gold
This is a wave
I rolled away from
A time
A gaze
The sea is warm
Waves are rolling
13
I had a dream
Captured by Ladies
And held in a wooden jail
The moon is orange
And my mother crawls through the reeds
And frees me
---
Oceans shudder
And I shudder
The alarms are starlings
The dam has blushed
---
Touch of shame
The bees
The wind
A hurling stinging
I felt abysmal
I felt the wash
British techno
At the top of a steep hill
Pines and more pines
Emotional disco
The ever-green
And in my dream
I heard their whistles
I heard their calls
They were calling me
--
And I swam
I swam and swam
Where is the water's shore?
Where is the river's bank?
Why is my guide and spotter?
There she is
Where is my fortune teller?
Why do I resist
 
 
When You Turn on the Light
 
Oh, when you turn on the light
But you don't understand
That's wet paint on the wall
And the painting is hell
And the enamelled smell
Sends your headache to hell
 
And your last two braincells
Dissolved in finishing gel
And the gesso's chalk smell
It's on your pillow oh well
And your room-mate is gone
She is heroin gone
And her boyfriend is gone
Hit by a car in the dawn
 
A marine animal
Pitched in green enamel
In the harbour of hell
Wait: what: the moon is a bell?
That is golden and wrong like this sad memory song
--
I am
Losing the shore and its safe string of lights
Forgetting that I have no resurrection line
