Just be alert for adverse camber
Meeting the parents, turning on the charm
Brought an oil drum for the palms
Spending hours in Anxiety Palace
Getting out-lapped by the social virtuosos on the course
(Oh, roll over)
Follow the zero car into the storm
Oh, roll over
I liked you better when you lived on your own
September 18th 2005
There was an accident on the track
And he didn’t get out alive
Your sister parachuted in
Panther pink dressing gown and rollers in
Centrefold poses on the fold out
She’s the Queen of the Underworld
All her stone imitations hold a sheaf of grain
Married a Kellogs brother
At the Battle Creek Health Sanitarium
(Oh, roll over)
Let’s follow the zero car into the storm
Oh, roll over
I liked him better in his fictional form
Oh, roll over
He hit the curb and lost his motor control
Oh, roll over
Hopping the bonnet like he was David Soul
Flattening me in factory rollers
I can feel it in my molars
Stolen moments at a family function
An unseen touch that says it’ll be alright
So this is your Supervalu family!
And then you wanted to get wild
Michaela Strachan style
But I think your dad gets his ideas
From “Plain Facts For Old and Young”
I’m fitting an anecdotal roll cage for next time
(Don’t you worry)

Fog Of Oban

Walking around Oban with my head in the clouds
Waiting for the right time
Waiting for the line
Waiting for the auld birds
Waiting- WZV- 162
Wade into the water
Looking out at the bay at the lighthouses
What's that structure?
Some kind of sacrificial obelisk?
Waiting for a sacrifice
Waiting, waiting waiting
Wade into the water
Bit like that town in The Birds
With pubs that could be stage sets
Like the bar on the harbour
In Batman and Robin '66
With all the fighting sailors
And down comes the fog
Down comes the fog
Hiding the islands
An island shaped like Tippi Hedren's hair
Tippi tippy
Reach the tipping point
Til the bells of Maiden Island chime
Maiden Island chime chime chime

Amazing. Hushed but dark, a cold, bright spark on a moonless night. Both restrained and deeper than it seems at first.
