lyrics

I couldn’t comprehend what I was seeing
It was some kind of message of love
From a golden being
That appeared to me

And when I woke up I was bruised and bleeding
Sometimes you wonder about the life you’re leading
Why don’t you fly away, bird?
Or haven’t you heard
You can defy irony?

Stardust on your wing
And an eternal tinge to your eye
Losing everything but getting to keep the handle
It’s not nothing to hold on to

I stole a stethoscope to try to locate the beat
I called an ambulance because I had cold feet
Yeah, imagine how the poets feel
Competing with a helpless squeal in the night

Everybody’s investing in some fantastic plight
Who could be happy lying wiggling their toes in the sunlight?
Hello, is anybody home?

I don’t know, you go for a walk
In a lonely field
And you get a reputation
Step inside, the door’s wide open
And your fate is sealed
But there’s still time for one more toxic affirmation …

Everybody’s investing in some fantastic plight
Who could be happy lying wiggling their toes in the sunlight?
Imagine how the poets feel, competing with a helpless squeal in the night
Who could be happy lying wiggling their toes in the sunlight?

In the sunlight
In the sunlight
In the sunlight …

about

Craig Hallsworth Perth, Australia

Craig Hallsworth attempts to resingularise, for himself, the experience of a rock or pop song. He doesn’t approach it from the outside, in terms of styles or genres, but from the inside, as a field of affects and intensities. For him, songs are about the desire to play guitars and drums and to sing, expressing the poetry, humour and absurdity of a person finding themselves in this situation. ... more
