How's Ann? 03:46
Where've you been? It's half past December You're dinner's in the dog You're sleeping on the couch I'm not interested In your leftovers I care less about you than a dogshit from a dog I don't own; On a street that I don't live In a city I'll never go to. So, fuck off. You're just a dirty mop You just spread your shit around.

You invaded live a rodedendron You made me fat and happy I'm saturated with your affection Your love lines my arteries You took me off the fence Made me a proper mensch you gave me intelligence I want to love you in four dimensions Across all time I want to love you in four dimensions I was always for you You gave me half a chance You're not my Bruno Ganz You are my intelligence

I feel seasick Sailing chaotic waves We Bite our own tail Resonance Cascade The universe is not listening The universe does not care The universe is fragile We are Cantor dust Lost in the Julia set Everything is almost empty But look towards the edge The universe is not listening The universe does not care The universe is fragile An infinite detail That generates itself The same on every level A dancing machine elf If we just talk to each other We can magnify our brains Building something of beauty Bigger than our games

paradise gas 07:39
There's a lady who waits by Nico's Cafe smoke will rise, ash will fall She'll talk to you for a coffee or two or a drink in the salmon and ball She's a modern contradiction heir to prince mishkin made up of foibles and faults She says "life's not so hard in the knackers' yard so let's waste our time with a waltz" At the city view hotel put up with the smell and put up with the noise from the streets The invisible man with the king-size can and the polyrhythm bus engine beats If you're drinking 'fore noon to a chart chopping tune they'll sell you a pint for a pound It's all churches and jails a boat without sails for the people who are lost and found In paradise garden your arteries harden wolfing down your mr. cod and across the road you can unload on a throne that waits for a god In the childhood museum let out a scream and pray that you're not in the show Now your bus is pulling up put your change in the cup of the strangers on paradise row

about

grilly12cd
For ERG.

My first solo album in 5 years deals with a lot of very positive ideas about love, the structure of reality, and east London.

It started out being a second To The Boats..! album, but there stopped being a band to record it.

Most of the songs were written for a band to play, so there's a fairly solid backbone of guitar, synth bass, and programmed drums and breakbeats that run through the album, plus the usual embellishments, many composed and played by TTB multi-instrumentalist Ian.
