the high wire are recording part 5

oh
not
enough
time

“oh dear! oh dear! i shall be too late!”

every moment we can’t be in the studio is wasted and painful
today is one of those days

(in boring terms)
about a third of the album is nearly finished
and the other 2 thirds are halfway done

it will not be finished until it is truly great
(we really may be some time!)

forever?

this may be a folly
(this may be in praise of folly)

some good words part 5


seen enough to eye you
but i’ve seen to much to try you
it’s always weirdness while you
dig it much too much to fry you
the weirdness flows between us
anyone can tell to see us
freakscene just can’t believe us
why can’t it just be cool and leave us
so fucked i can’t believe it
if there’s a way i wish we’d see it
how could it work just can’t conceive it
oh what a mess it’s just to leave it

sometimes i don’t thrill you
sometimes i think i’ll kill you
just don’t let me fuck up will you
cos when i need a friend it’s still you

freakscene – dinosaur jr


you do nothing but socialise
and become a menace
put on your reeboks man
and go play funky tennis

reverend black grape – black grape


spread the news the maestros back
with a beatbox soundtrack
the king of brains queen of the sack
executives have heart attack
it’s assault course celluloid
the money makers would avoid
sometimes notions get reversed
centre of the universe

ritual ideas relativety
only buildings no people prophecy
timeslide place to hide nudge reality
foresight minds wide magic imagery

e=mc2 – big audio dynamite
