The Hypnotigon

from Fever Dream by The Bedlam Furnaces

/

about

Featuring the haunting recorders and voice of Alison Allison, and as ever, my gratitude to the irreplaceable Choir Of The Willing. This song is very personal, so I’ll let you make of it what you will.

lyrics

Be that grass or water over there?
Asked I, as in my hand
a little sparrow lay sleeping, so peacefully.

In the eyes of life lay I;
the answer came like liquorish
to a schoolboy.

I asked you Lady Luck,
“Will you marry me today?”
But she just stood a-smiling sweetly at The Hypnotigon.

‘Where-oh-where, where have you been?!”
The others came to scold my brain:
“Your innocence is nine! And Green! The answer there is surely plain..?”

I asked you Lady Luck,
“Will you marry me today?”
But she just stood a-smiling sweetly at The Hypnotigon.

Turning slow, a sarcastic curve
did spread across my face:
“Surely grass is mostly water?”
My foe did flee, cast in disgrace.

I asked you Lady Luck,
“Will you marry me today?”
But she just stood a-smiling sweetly at The Hypnotigon. (Repeats)

See me? Hear me? Ask me? Know me? (Repeats)

How could I have been so blind?
All I ask – a chance to find myself.
Out of sight – out of my mind.
A space to be, but not be someone else. (Repeats)

Say it, sigh it, don’t deny it.
Just small words – you really should try it.
Borrowed courage. Borrowed Jokes.
Borrowed time – and there’s the hoax.
