lyrics

Kelly said, “it’s only poison if you drink it, or read it and misunderstand it”
This old cassette holds more than voices and laughter
Background traffic noise transports me, more than photographs have done
The back of envelopes the back of hands
Start a notebook in the middle
Write to gentle folk in distant lands who can’t read your scribble
Like a spider crawled out an inkwell on scented paper eggshell blue
Unravel the kinks and the curves the words are a mask and a hinderance
Need assistance for every sentence
When right now I only want to smell and touch and clutch and burrow
Kelly said, “it’s only poison if you drink it, or read it and misunderstand it”
This old cassette holds more than voices and laughter
Background traffic noise transports me, more than photographs have done
Animals in your pad drawn with dreaming faces
A walrus or a bat, swooning blowing kisses
All whiskers and teeth, huge eyes
Bassett hounds in ties discussing imports and exports
Don’t scrutinise the logic, I’m getting off the topic
Which is that fiction is easier to write
I put a weekend aside but gave up and called a voice recorder
An answerphone at home with no one to answer
Knocked sideways by a centimetre of whisky
Kelly said, “it’s only poison if you drink it, or read it and misunderstand it”
This old cassette holds more than voices and laughter
Background traffic noise transports me, more than photographs have done
A chapter erased now beyond reproduction
One day I’ll get nostalgic about right now, but not about the sitcoms
