I've got a little black book
with my poems in
I've got a bag
with a toothbrush and a comb
When i'm a good dog
they sometimes throw me a bone in
I've got elastic bands
keepin' my shoes on
Got those
swollen-hand blues
I've got
thirteen channels
of shit
on the TV to choose from

I've got electric light
and i got second sight
I've got
amazing
powers
of observation

that is how i know
when i try to get through
on the telephone to you
there'll be
nobody home

I've got the obligatory
Hendrix perm
And the inevitable
pinhole burns
All down the front
of my favourite satin shirt
I've got nicotine stains
on my fingers
I've got a silver spoon
on a chain
Got a grand piano
to prop up my mortal remains

I've got
wild,
staring eyes
And i got
a strong urge to fly
But i've got
nowhere to fly to

Oooh babe,
when i pick up the phone
there's still
nobody home

shower singer but me. And this is not my home.

I feel so strange in this place.

My things aren't here. I don't know where they keep the saucepans. I can't work out how to turn the heater on.

The cat won't talk to me.

lacunas coil and the phone line goes dead as i sit there longing for a voice. should i walk and listen to the drunken talks up and down elgin tonight?

there's nobody home when i call you, but i see through the clouds and sigh. tonight i sing to you, with my words stretching to the sky from the arms of jesus rock.
