lyrics
It was the first place I’d eaten where they bring you two spoons
Sidled out without paying the bill
But felt ill and rang back to pay on the debit card
Of an unwitting friend who draws cartoons
Three panel pieces of crushed hopes
Which at first seem satirical
Then gloomy
Then sage and truthful
Determined to pour my heart out
But forgot I’d already spewed it
Woke up dry and unhealthy and dry round the edges
Like a spider plant sustained by office lights and moist breaths
He’s got less backstory than any item in my wardrobe
Flash forward to 2023
A 16 month wait for a new knee
Calculate the flow of the Wear
Semi-hallucinate a tiny kingfisher
Camp out from five to see a native snake
Suppressing the shivering becoming reptilian
Determined to pour my heart out
But forgot I’d already spewed it
I was inspired by a TV cookery programme to buy a TV cookery book
I never cracked the spine but spent my time reading history
From the labels of beer bottles
My unbranded wheat biscuits have ruined our romantic milk bath
I’ve heard foxes smell like marijuana
Or a cross between sweat and urine
I could beat you all at table football by only playing the goalkeeper
Telling everyone that I’ve got secrets to spill
Determined to pour my heart out
But forgot I’d already spewed it
Anthropomorphise everything
I see faces in trees and in coffee cups
Dogs named Steve, cars called Elsie
Talking lions and what the hell is a Moomin?
And why does that one dress like me?
How can the sea be cruel when it’s just centillions of molecules
More a medium than a man?
It warms my heart that comedians doing stand up make you awkward
Science has taught me that when you blush the inside of your stomach glows too
I’ve never been drawn to solipsism
But when I’m hushed, drunk and warn out I can believe there’s just me and you
This album by Kenyan electronic producer rPH and poet Kins of Spade reflects on the impact of religion in their lives and society. Bandcamp New & Notable May 12, 2023
Upon first listen, the voice reminds me of Julia Holter (who I love!), but the arrangements are more organic. When the final track bowed out with a whisper, I was sad it was over. Lovely work. Soloman Tump
