lyrics

THROW
(the wanton destruction of innocent pleasure)
“The great Liberal Thinker urges the populace to vote and is largely ignored…….”

On the merry-go-round,
gibberish bound, belly-go-ground,
On the merry-go-round
wheezy tin sound, shaky beat pound, chatterboxing quite drowned
Ouch! Who threw that stone?
or fossil bone, lead-lined ice-cream cone.
Who threw that stone? Which stone?
The stone that hits, that hits the horse, the fairground horse, the painted horse,
And blinds one eye.
one painted eye, with eyelid blue, with eyeball green, with bloodshot white.
Who threw that stone?
Round, round, round,
Was it Spite? or Chance? or perhaps it was Play? Was it he, or she, was it they,
Who threw that stone?
Coiled round the horse, the painted horse with one blind eye,
Coiled round the horse, the serpent sings:
“Let one who is, who is without, is without sin, throw the first stone.”

Unrecorded Beam
by Billie Bottle & The Multiple

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
