Two Funerals

lyrics

I run like
The raindrops on
The windowpane
Of our old cafe
Where every poem
Still rattles
While your shaddows
On a table

This is just a bus
Flying forward through the sky
Where all on board it together
There’s no time to wonder why
Might be a blind monkey driving
Might be a smooth dolphin pushing
Keep on checking the rearview
All depends on whos looking
I keep chasing the rabbit
Force whatever I’m finding
We were in love with each other
We were in love with the timing
I’ve been wandering around
I’ll catch whoever’s been drumming
Keep on telling myself
Some surprise is coming

I walk down
The same street that
We stood on like statues
In the summer heat
While your mother and father
Brother and sister
Are breaking bread with
Your so-called man

This is just a bus
Flying forward through the sky
Where all on board it together
There’s no time to wonder why
Might be a blind monkey driving
Might be a smooth dolphin pushing
Keep on checking the rearview
All depends on whos looking
I keep chasing the rabbit
Force whatever I’m finding
We were in love with each other
We were in love with the timing
I’ve been wandering around
I’ll catch whoever’s been drumming
Keep on telling myself
Some surprise is coming

This is just a bus
Flying forward through the sky
There’s no emblem on the shuttle
There’s no time to wonder why
Might be a blind monkey driving
Might be a smooth dolphin pushing
Keep on checking the rearview
All depends on what's cooking
I keep blowing your ashes
Through a hole in the moon
We were in love with each other
We were in love with the truth
I’ve been wandering around
I’ll catch whoever’s been drumming
Keep on telling myself
Some surprise is coming

The Other Half of Everything
by Martin John Henry

At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything → Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 21, 2011
