Lyrics for Damnation Morning*

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 10:11 am

"I viewed the morning with much alarm; 
The British Museum had lost its charm."

* Vide  that phrase in this journal.
"A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one."

"Pardon me.  J'adoube." 

— The Consul as he fastens his fly in Malcolm Lowry's classic
novel, Under the Volcano , the Garden of Eden scene.

I, on the other hand, adobe.

Musical accompaniment . . .

"Sleight of hand and twist of fate . . . ." — "With or Without U"

Morning Song

[Verse 1]
Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shavin' razor's cold and it stings
