lyrics

i once was an old man
stinking of old hands
carbed up and cold i would fan
frosted emotions to stifle the damned

the thoughts that i've made and the ones that i've scattered
the garbles of growth or intuitive splatter
i fell in a hole and i came out as matter
restricted by a love of myself, getting fatter

i remember an old life
held in long dark hair, no midwife
cloth-bound, feeling israelite
hallucinations of sand
shielded by igloo

outgrown this old trinket
beat-filled and explored
still mouth full of biscuit
i chew like a bore
and man brings a cookie
new delight, new shores
i swim like a bacterium
in circles, towards

i remember sounds, finger feelings
odd, in a sensitive garden
caught in a temporary world
of fleeting expansion

have you ever seen the light?

(BBC Introducing)
