lyrics

Cut the Cake
Well every other sunny day 
you can come and cut the cake 
The thin line between shade and night 
Cross the border into the daylight 
if you want to feel that way
 come over here and cut the cake
All summer I was in the cold shade 
Keeping co with the stalactites and stalagmites 
Spent restless sweaty nights 
The cost of dowsing the candlelight
Well come on over and cut the cake 
take a dip in the milky lake 
tried to cut the atmosphere beyond 
up to the neck in a stagnant pond
 just try and see what you can take 
come over here and cut the cake
Everything is already alive 
white cotton stings your eyes 
white dress telling white lies 
grinning, we’re as free as flies
The smell of cut grass 
glinting of an empty glass
So what do you say?
 come around and cut the cake

You can’t get away from it. Even in the bright green kaleidoscope wilds of somewhere, here it comes, dented rust cans and snot rags rolling down the river, chemical stream fingers, tousled knotting hair, stinking hyphae fronds wrapped round your legs and deep into the ground, perhaps even to the molten core of the earth it seems … everywhere secondhand, lived-in …

A work of considerable power and subtlety. Certainly a grower but I was hooked on first listen and it seems to improve on subsequent plays. Well done to everyone involved and good luck for the future, hopefully a long and successful future. simon1956smith
