about

From the album "Attachment Theories"

"Flamingos" is dedicated to all artists & eccentrics. It is also in tribute to Ivor Cutler, Dave Allen and in particular my late friend Rich. It was Rich & I who had the conversation which went something like this;
Me - "Well I don't know what we can ever fully know, I think we're all ultimately just like earthworms in the compost heap. We can try to make sense of things but we can never fully understand everything no matter how much we try"...
Rich - "Yes Jon, but some of us are GLOW-WORMS"!

lyrics

Two strange people sitting on a bench,
Contemplating but never tense.
Just sitting watching the shufflings of the human zoo.

Then one of them says;
Well we're all of us just earthworms in the compost heap,
Just trying to make some kind of sense of things,
But sometimes we can be glow-worms!

Oh why aren't you drawing the flamingos?
O why d'you paint the rust on the rail?
Oh why aren't you drawing the flamingos?
Oh why d'you paint the rust on the rail?

Well there's a place that you go in your dreams,
The corners blurred but the water is deep,
And when you wake, all wonder is crushed by bureaucracy.

We're all of us here by some beautiful accident,
It's time to wave a flag and set a president,
So then we can reach high, high high!

Oh, why aren't you drawing the flamingos?
Oh why d'you paint the rust on the rail?
Oh why aren't you drawing the flamingos?
Oh why d'you paint the rust on the rail?

Brapapabappapabap!
Brapapabappapabap!
Brapapabappapabap!
