Familiar jiggling morning, cage pacer
plan maker, cake baker, leaf raker
thank you lord for my day of leisure
Flick my switch, some sounds to mask
zero gravity descending - pre-programmed
station no 3 offers Silver Sun
and their latest lanky, speccy stab at three-minute glory
their bouncing a flicker too far
Remote down and pre-programmed station no 2
offers the intro to the Manics new
single with the long polemic, and it's a very fine intro
but I've heard it a thousand times already on
every station on every hour for
weeks in advance of its release, and
I will not tolerate it or succumb to
its nagging charms
Station no 1 throws up
Fly Like an Eagle and its
instant flash of painting walls
walls walls and more walls
- some windowsills and ceilings -
some 20 gilded & rose-tinted summers ago
this playing on the radio
in the works, smell of oil and grease
spark of welding and Pirelli calendar
cuppas from tattooed Stanley and time
keeps on slipping slipping s l i pp i n g
