Oh I see - Geust...

The room is empty, everyone's taken their coats and gone home - no more coats, no more homes (where's that from again?) (Hawkwind - Space Ritual). Hey - you should have been here a few days ago, Christ! but that was a blinder, still, it's all over now, even the shouting, only a few stray ghosts. What? What am I still doing here? Oh I - er - left my hat - no scarf - that's it - I left my scarf, but someone else must have took it - because - it doesn't appear to be here now. Summer now anyway, just about - the May's been and gone, clouts have been cast and we've sang our May Carols and our Hal-an-Tows and now we're off to Rumbelows for a new telly, seeing the old one got smashed in the riot - much fucking use it was too - some good stuff on too - Jonathan Meades last night - EastEnders - Early Music on BBC4 tonight - so no need for a scarf really - not in this weather. And Springwatch - let's not forget about Springwatch - although you can see the real thing on Fairhaven Lake - the birds are out with their young - the swans, geese, ducks, canada geese, coots, moorhens. Summer - music - must dig out my Augustus Pablo CDs - King Tubby's Meets the Rockers Uptown - African Headcharge (remember them?) - the Pistols - XTC's White Music - Young Marble Giants - Burning Spear - Digable Planets - Dragon Ash - remember that song at the end of Battle Royale? God, I love Beat Takeshi - my favourite's Kikujiro but I still cry when I hear that - like Born Slippy at the end of Trainspotting - only better - somehow - but don't ask me to explain - just listen - Shizukana Hibi no Kaidan wo - the Stair Steps of a Quiet Day - yes - just - listen -

Grass and trees become green, flowers colorfully bloom.
Seasons come by again. A comfortable spring day,
With out anything to do I think by myself
in the tree lined street.
The days go by without any break.
I am struggling to manage myself here.
Sometimes, let's live a life
Without thinking so deeply.
Morning comes, the sun rises again.
Outside the window the south wind
blows the pain in my heart.
Shall the tears I shed in the past days
be pulled into my unconsciousness.
what is important is the light,
I'd like to stay here a bit more.

WE GO EVERY DAY, let's go with laughter
To the direction of the shining light
heading into the open future ahead.
WE GO EVERY DAY, let's go with laughter
Like pouring water into a vase
my wishes please be granted.

SO The face and the tears
washed by an off season rain
before the rain stops,
GERRA I smile with a clean face.
Like that, goes away ONE WEEK.
With my tired body I take ONE DRINK
At the meeting place my friends are all there.
like every day we spend the night chatting nonsense
to continue on with these days
I flap my wings like a bird.
Everyone is doing their best. Don't lose; we don't have a pinch runner.
Going over the people laughing at you,
catch the dream you imagined into your hands.
Wish to the shooting star after the rain.
Now stand up my friend.

WE GO EVERY DAY, let's go with laughter
To the direction of the shining light
heading into the open future ahead.
WE GO EVERY DAY, let's go with laughter
Like pouring water into a vase
my wishes please be granted.

Without no reason I set off my mobile.
In the far back of the noise
can't you hear the voice of the wind
drifting away now where and why.
Obvious though, I listen on.
Like putting your own future over it.
Wanting something to be said about my self, is the same feeling.
My life goes away bit by bit.
Now I possess multiple copies of my childhood dreams.
I make a stupid face
as I brush my teeth in front of the mirror in the morning.
Going outside. I live a day like this.
I'll stop waiting for the night.
Resting isn't bad, charge up your energy.
quietly the city ticks away time.
Connecting our dreams, we make an arch.

The stair steps of a quiet day
The stair steps of a quiet day
The stair steps of a quiet day
The stair steps of a quiet day
The stair steps of a quiet day
The stair steps of a quiet day

Under the sky without the breeze,
I reach out to catch tomorrow.
