lyrics

TIME TRAVEL AT L'HEURE VERTE

… And I had another dream …
I was in an air-brushed picture like the ones you see In Jehovah’s witness magazines.

Eau de turpentine. My green fairy has been working overtime.
Blowing bubbles; blowing deadlines

Then I wake up from that dream (a pond of cold sweat round my legs).
Those tricks are smarter than they seem (those pictures in my head).

Now I’m slipping through the scene.
A balcony in Montmartre, 1917. The sky grey; the hour green.

Ten years gone.
Yet his ghostly presence soldiers on like an infected pond.

But when I wake up from those dreams (my mind strings strung out to the full).
A flame goes tearing through the seams (join the obsessionals).

He stumbles through the fog and mist of adulthood.
In yet another story he’s misunderstood.
Shakes his head, the sawdust flies out of his hood.
Reconstructing memories, he nods, “it’s quite good, quite good”.

But when I wake up from those dreams (and I’m there solitary).
I understand just what it means (to be so ordinary).

He’ll drink until his liver’s shrivelled to a pea.
Here’s your ticket for Cirrhosis-by-the-Sea.
Ready for the grimmest actuality.
He’s Mother and Father Nature's celebrated absentee.

The blackest air, the bluest song.
Macbeth – my arse! – it won’t be long.
From a footnote he’ll watch on.
The gift of breath, mine one day!

Everything about his storyline is wrong.
Eat you up and spit you out and then he’s gone.
Then it hits you, the most damning denouement:
Was he ever there or was it your imagination?

Yukio Yung: Vocals, guitars, keyboards, bass, vibes.
Louis Burrows: Reeds.
Andy Ward: Drums.
