"Tricolour flying, the sun shining, large crowd around
A freshly dug grave, priest arm blesses, the flag is waving
Stern Indian serves original flavourings, in Manchester
In Manchester
In Manchester
Ah huh"

"He transferred his soul
To his imagination
His atoms were excited
And he glowed in the dark
The boiling boy
Was a picture of confusion
But he had the advantage
Of a cold start heart"
"Boiling Boy" by Wire ("A Bell Is a Cup... Until It Is Struck", 1998)

"Subject requested
Heard in double density
Future contested
Do you have the dentistry?
Making the payment
Heads will surely roll for this
Making a statement
Welcome to the abyss"

"Displaying an interest in forward propulsion
Our swimmer glides with no actual motion
The stroke he's using needs timing and skill
The effect is graceful, but the progress is nil"

But never too long
To reach ahead
To project the image
Which will in time
Become a concrete dream"

"Someone is taking you
Someone has taken me
TV doesn't understand
A word that matters
Scattering desires to
Smoldering fires
Someone has taken you
Someone is taking me"

"You've had your chance
The lights are out
No one's at home
Give me a break
Because I don't understand
I don't understand
Your brain stinks, you're off the list, I don't understand"

"I saw three dogs flying, there was a man on the end
Squaring a circle and studying its end
I saw a drunk old lady pissing in a bin
It was far too high, she couldn't stop"

You want Big Brother to spy on you
The trouble is (and you know it's true)
You like to be watched and be the watcher too"

Walking
Minus hat before dawn
Bats in profusion there
I feel mysterious today
Everything is humming loudly
I feel mysterious today
Everyone is coming this way"

"I threw myself flat on to your border fence
The damage I did was in self defense
Fell through the floor, I reached my ceiling
Out of my depth, over my head
Out of my depth, over my head..."

Join the queue of future has-beens
A worker's thirst to be at leisure
Dissatisfied without measure"

"An icon in perspex
Sustained exposure, increased risk
Perspective lost and concept shattered
Maintain your prerogative
Self-promotion, motor spinning
Palms are greased and egos flattered"

Damn. Didn't even know it was a Wire or Colin Newman track. Cool!
Somewhat ironic because I posted my first weekly Wire track — #WireWednesday — this week. Because I thought I was about as familiar with the Wire (etc) catalog as with for example the This Mortal Coil or 4AD catalog. But maybe not :)

You saucy old salt
Pale in belief
I'm not without fault
Drag my canal
You saucy old salt
Pale in belief
I'm not without fault
Drag my canal
You saucy old salt..."
