lyrics
STRIKE
Blow away, blow away world,
Flake away, break away world.
Die away world.
Planet earth is dust. Tremble oh stars.
The moon, askew, mooches,
The sun tilts in a shimmy.
Mercury break-dances,
Venus will mess around,
Mars does ragtime,
Jupiter j-j-jives,
Saturn’s waters brood with an alluring flamenco,
Uranus dances a Two-step,
Neptune goes be-bop.
The Universe dances, dances, dances
As mister and missus Bourgeois Fleshy Couple fly, fly fly mounted on their husk,
And breathing air, oxygen, privately funded,
They fly to the new world
Where they dig, delve, till their garden green,
They sow, tend, reap their garden green.
And there’s the prettiest apple tree ever seen
‘Thou merry apple’ quoth humankind.
So it’s round, round, round.
And there’s the finest apple tree
That anyone did ever see.
Man thanks the Lord on bended knee.
The serpent coiled around the bough
Smiling at the man, and how!
Snake leads him on to break his vow,
The scaly wily serpent.
Man from the apple bites a bit,
And once again The Serpent Hit.
Unrecorded Beam is beautifully conceived, performed and recorded. I am fortunate indeed to have connection with the album, in two improvisations responding to Billie and the Multiple on their flight. Kate Westbrook
