Justice - two steel balls on a hard rod
Miscarriage - a centrifuge losing its hold
Incident - that from which we be embarrassed
The comfort of strangers - hope lies constant in the mouth
Justice - two steel balls on a hard rod
Miscarriage - a centrifuge losing its hold
Incident - that from which we be embarrassed
The comfort of strangers - hope lies constant in the mouth
Justice - two steel balls on a hard rod
Miscarriage - a centrifuge losing its hold
Two steel balls on a hard rod
Two steel balls on a hard rod
Two steel balls on a hard rod

Volkswagen

Volkswagen the sun
Volkswagen the moon
Its image glows
Twice the height of a man
Hung high on the factory
It interrupts the dark
Benevolent or fat
An ultraviolet stamp
That waxes in each night
As long as there's work

Keep your laws off my body
What I have I'll not return
I will live in no dark ages
But in the light
Clear as glass is my decision
What I have I'll not return
I will fight this territory
It's mine to fight
Mister when you're in the sunshine
And a shadow falls across
Just look up and you will find me
I'm in the light

Lie And Swell
03:02
|
|||
|
If memory serves me well
We used to go out into the fields
And lie and swell
Quite openly we swole
Until we grew so big
The boys would see us
And want to touch us
Sometimes we'd let them
Moreoften
We swole so big that
They grew frightened,
Picked up their things
And ran away,
Leaving us gently
Resting in our size

The human tribe
Has hands like mine
I cannot weigh
Or give away
The things which I hold
Poverty lies in the space between us
Fact of life is fact of closeness
Mystery lies in the space between us
The human tribe
Has hands like mine
I cannot weigh
Or give away
The things which I hold
The human tribe
Has skin like mine
For me to trace
And with this skin
Impress no threat
Fact of life is fact of distance
Poverty lies in the space between us
Fact of life is fact of closeness
Mystery lies in the space between us
I make sound which approaches language
Make my tongue a physical one
I lose nothing in this attempt

Human spark
The last of stars
Human spark
The last of stars
Human spark
The last of stars
Human spark
The last of stars
Human spark
The last of stars
Human spark
The last of stars
I stand in awe of DNA
Kinetic strategy in action
Human spark
The last of stars
Human spark
The last of stars
I made a man
I made a man
I made a man
I made a man
A tube out and not fleshed
Since that day

The women and girls
Move onto the floor
Kick off their shoes
In a pile by the door
Straighten their straps
Loosen their hair
Moving around each make up a pair
Holding their breath...
The women and girls
Twelve dancing princesses
Burn holes in the floor
With the weight of their heat
Losing themselves
Is pleasure encoded
Deliver us, deliver us once
Deliver us, deliver us from
These four limbs...
Roll me over
Don't wake me
Roll me over
Don't wake me
The women and girls
Move onto the floor
Kick off their shoes
In a pile by the door
Straighten their straps
Loosen their hair
Moving around each make up a pair
Moving around each make up a pair
Holding their breath...

Virginia Fur

She came from a community
Where women ruled the roost
Imparted effortlessly
A sense of my sex's ascendancy
In the scheme of things
And every word
And gesture of hers
Displayed a natural dominance
A native savagery
And I am very grateful
For all that now
Although the core
The core of steel
Was a bit inconvenient
When I was looking
Looking for boyfriends
In the South
In the 1950s
Looking for boyfriends
In the South
In the 1950s
When girls were supposed to be
Just as soft
As soft and pink
As a nursery

Calley
04:14
|

|
In my dream I went into Columbus
Columbus, Georgia, through the rain
Seemed only like I knew where I was going
To a store - Bill Calley - something - supplies
The name is hazy
Inside the place was lit against the darkness
Dull, silver, sharp and shiny things
Like jewels or tools - I can't remember
I see my man
He stands behind the counter
His face set all uneven
Fairly fit still, the ex-marine
And now I'm here, I have my question ready
Ready as anyone
Ready as anyone
"Oh Mr Calley - Please - a moment of your time - about My Lai..."
Suddenly I couldn't see for running
And I'm in a space that's screaming
And could say no more for choking
On the smoke which came smoking
Which came pouring from the the clearing
And I knew why I was running
From the cracking of the branches
From the heavy men behind me
Bulk and sweat in uniform
With implements and running clumsy
Knowing that there was no need for caution
No opposition
No defending
Easy work
And one I saw his face he'd turned towards me
His face set all uneven
Like a young man who'd had a stroke at twenty-one
His face he turned towards me and he hisses
"Get out, get out, get out
This my place of business"
"Get out, get out, get out
This my place of business"
"Get out, get out, get out
This my place of business"
"Get out, get out
This my place of business"

The more I listen to this album, the more it compels me to dive deeper. The melodies, chord shifts, and sinewy, rippling bass lines all take root in my brain, delightfully pulling me back to listen again and again.
