Must....retrieve....FRONTPAGE

[tinhuviel]

B has sent me some of the lyrics for the Stic Basin album and asked that I load up to the site. Well, I would, but I don't have fucking Frontpage yet, so here am I all bereft and frustrated.

But that's not all I'm feeling. I'm also in awe and enthralled to read these lyrics. It has occurred to me that Barry is a seducer of the English language. He lures it into his psychic bedroom with promises of pleasures unknown and, once it's there, he binds it to his bed in order to tease and twist it into what he wants it to be. The results are usually his lyrics. When people hear the songs and listen to what's been done to their native tongue, they are in turn seduced, ravaged, teased and twisted vicariously by way of Barry's skillful deviations. He vampirises us all with his infinite talent and, those of us who truly hear, only beg for more.

Of course, I could be wrong.


Eating Away at It

Gathering light thru the tangled branches.
Oil-spill on the wet road makes colour like a crows wing.
Basilisk eye gazes unblinking at the puddle,
ear to the hollow of the buzzsaw world.

Bakerloo line to Harrow and Wealdstone. Paradise by Kensal Rise. A drift thru the boneyard..
The scattered rubbish of the World -shattered windscreen in the kerbs crack; motes of dust on the shafts of light. Grasshalms in the tender wind . All will come to coruption…

All of the World’s impact on me:
All of the eggs they cracked on me
Now it’s all coming back to me
(eating it all away)

All the slack drug euphoria
All that phantasmagoria
Looks sorrier and sorrier.
(eating it all away)

Eating away at it…. Eating away at it….

Nothing that she said made sense to me
In all of that immensity
Made up for it with intensity
(eating it all away)

Busy with my many Catamites
And their prelapsarian appetites
Where are all the fuckers at tonight?
(eating it all away)

Eating away at it…. Eating away at it….

Falling into all cavities
Crazy little thing called Gravity
Got a flair for this depravity
(eating it all away)

Nothing that cannot be rectified
Whoever you might have objectified
Try some ethical insecticide
(to eat it all away)

(he was walking at night mixing himself etc)

Standing on the brink of genocide
Telling us we should be terrified
(tho’ nothing yet exactly verifed)
(eating it all away)

The New English hegemony
Has a Judas look at Gethsemene
and the backbone of an anenome
(Eating it all away)

Frontpage? Last time I used it I found it really poor, and went straight back to editing raw HTML.

Dreamweaver though, was really pretty impressive. I'd consider using it if I had a lot of web stuff to do.

Yes, my favourite. Except for Down There. And The Rag and the Bone. And . . .
