about
I got the idea for this song last October and before I knew it, it had become a whole album that I wrote and recorded in a very intense burst between then and Christmas. It's about the lethal adventurist urge and its facilitation by imperialism, past, present and future. But it's also just a song.
If you like this, you'll be happy to hear that it will be on my 'debut' album, which is complete and will come out sometime this year. I'm hoping to get some help on that front.
I'll be back with some more tracks in the meantime.
lyrics
Space is where I'll end up in my limbo
Space, off in the gassy swirls to die quite alone
And placed in my death mask
I'll flourish it widely
I'm losing the will to live
Within this windowless beleaguered coffin-lined old room
Any other place
Space, the vastest plains are emptying out
Space, for me to drive my wagon westward over the bodies
And bear down upon you
With centuries of learning
That made me this lethal being
Seeking out new fields, new mines, new labour, plucking at the clouds
Any other place
In my imagination
You have been living on my ranch, too pretty to name
Just waiting for my presence
Welcomed with bread and pheasants
Piled up high on plates
Space, the laws are with me when I find you
Space, so free and empty all around us, river to river
And picked from a price list
Some cuneiform tablets
The lands of your whispers fall into my soapy, sterilised, mosquito-swatting hands
Any other place
