And Everything Like That |
Under the time-lapse clouds |
out on the screen of green |
I want to see the monsters couple |
with the wet machine. |
You are my salad witch |
that I would love to dress. |
I do not lack the Wound. |
I do not lack the Mess. |
And Everything Like That. |
It’s a granulated thing |
out the Isle of Grain |
I want to see the mermaids tussling in the cellophane |
You took me to the temple |
and I saw the Snake of Brass. |
I worshipped gods I don’t believe in then they bit my arse. |
And Everything Like That. |
It’s a many splendoured thing |
I’m looking for it still: |
to sculpt the stone of history |
-with the hammer of my will. |
you told me that your Art |
was something that you’d suffer for. |
'that's well and good' I said |
'but would you teach yourself to draw?' |
Or Anything Like That? |
It’s under shadow law |
I sought my virtue there. |
I want to stand up on the mountain |
with my soul laid bare. |
When all the lilies bloom |
you’ll be in my Song of Songs. |
I’ll be your sugar daddy baby |
here’s the sugar tongs. |
And Everything Like That. |
It’s a large potato thing |
I keep looking for the signs |
I wanna see the aerial view of Sodom |
once before I die. |
Be my deliquescent virgin. |
I’ll be your gateway crime. |
I understand your hesitation |
please just take your time. |
And Everything Like That. |
It’s all a mirage |
the glory that was Rome: |
I want to ape Tiberius |
with methedrine and chrome. |
You are my thunder monkey. |
You are my baby lamb. |
I am a simple reptile honey -you know I am. |
And Everything Like That. |
It’s an avant-gardish thing, |
they gave me too much rope: |
I’m doing Iolanthe |
through a stethoscope. |
I see you wreathed in vapours |
and striding through the coals. |
You’ll be a Muse of Fire for |
post-post-modern rock 'n' roll |
And Everything Like That |
It’s an evanescent thing |
I waved my fairy wand. |
I want to rise up glistening from the bottom of the pond. |
You never liked this nonsense |
but this is not so wrong. |
It’s sort of funky, |
sort of weird and moderately long |
And Everything Like That. |
this is a Do-Right outro |
for all night song |
and it’ll fade out slowly before long… |
