Me & Jill / Hendrix Cosby |
We had just left shore when everything began to happen at once |
The water came in and we started to go down |
I looked at jill and she looked back, thinking it would be alright to go down |
Then the railings broke and the motors gave out |
The hall emptied out and no-one was left for the band |
The amps all wet, speakers burst, soaked |
We, up three flight now, tried to meet up with the galley crew |
But it seemed everyone had gone |
We had a smoke to pass some time |
Jill said ``I'd love to, right now" |
What could i say, we did while the waters rose, licking our feet |
It was fun and funny so we laughed |
I loved the way she could laugh, so full bodied |
When we hit the sky we were high over the rooves |
A field of gnarled antennas coiling upwards |
Waves and waveforms joining in a nice hot blast |
So different from the boat |
The cold silver sky opened for us and we passed through |
Last i saw of jill she was heading into the coils of the antennae |
Laughing, so beautiful |
Saying she hadn’t yet had her fill of the boys there and the electricity |
Saying she wanted to plug in again and fry a bit |
I said ``watch the water love" |
She kept laughing and shook her hair |
She said ``I'd love to, right now, you know" |
So we did, and had a smoke too, and her lips parted |
There in amongst the coiling snakes of an antenna she looked right at home |
The waves came up and a blinding flash caught me dreaming of her |
As she looked all crossed with wires and sparks watching the blast |
Everything went orange and all my thoughts dissolved inwards in the cloud |
I thought one last: how different from the sea is the boat |
