about

From Soft Plastics' album 5 Dreams from Paper Bag Records 2020.

lyrics

Storm is dying and the shingles shake but do not quiver

The waves are known to slap misting kisses down by the docks

And the world is awhirl with the faces of the weeping reporters

And the wind is not quite calm and given to gusts of wrath

And I’ve worn the wrong coloured shirt to your fancy supper

At the other end of the bridges the children whip stones at the cops

Their shields held still and reflecting the sky as it waters

The streets are yours but allow me a permit to walk



You who would wait inside

You might just be waiting too long

Don thy apparel and glide

Out like a swan dressed in a song



And the cans come crashing through the windows of a stained-glass apartment

Glittering teeth of a gold burro skitter and stop

That reminds me a of a story of a man who once had a library

And strung it up on his favourite donkey’s back

Luis who snapped his leg falling from his donkey to a pothole

Bandits in the branches, oh rubbing their hands in expectant glee

Luis who snapped his leg falling from his donkey to a pothole

Trying to ride his library down to the sea



And I who should be outside

I who should be throwing those cans

And I who have always weighed sides

Should throw my prodigious voice into the stands



Wyld thyng
