i
don't normally write like this, but it was a stream of conciousness
thing, i added to it to make a song for my band, but the bits i
added are even worse than this bit, so i've left them out... there
was a storm, i'd recently watched bits of the fluxfilm anthology for
the first time for ages, and i was very tired and feeling a bit
sorry for myself! hit by a train of thought
potato
fall, t.v. hour
potato
fall, t.v. hour
chestnut break, bounce, bounce flower.
the
meaning's just a heartbreak away.
light a cigarette, burn the
news,
make a film with no point of view,
joe jones' smoke's a
face anyway.
lightning misses more than it hits,
shutter
flash, crash, down, missing bits.
church spire lives just another
day.
mr. punch with a melt-eye glow.
sunglasses over a
dead pig's prose.
not real nose blowing it all away.
blackout
field with white in tow,
never reaped or tried to sew
what i
wish to do some day.
nineteen sixty six, re-won the war,
eric
andersen, nineteen seventy four,
joe jones' smoke's a face
anyway.
