Goose Island

Where'd you want to go?
Well I'll head for the hills then you know/
I saw an island through the trees/
and blossom forming in the leaves/
and flowers blowing in their hair/
they called for me to be out there.
Take a trip to Goose Island (repeat)
IPA! (repeat)
On the island where/
all your modern cares/
they'll be muted there/
by the goose's stare
And there's love somewhere/
but you can't quite bear/
to be over there/
when you live right here.
Take a trip to Goose Island (repeat)
IPA! (repeat)

Don DeLillo
03:15

I was just a child of god/
left alone for far too long/
I don't know where my father's gone.
And there are horses in Berlin/
the stable boy won't let me in/
I'm never going there again.
Left alone with all my vices/
when all I needed was a friend/
mourning since the morning I left you/
left a lonely life for two.
Done deal, Don DeLillio/
a lonely life for you.
So you've established who you are/
to Tula with your samovar/
where you gonna go from there?
So what's French for a storm in a teacup?
Un puce a l'oreille/
there's a flea in my ear.
Left alone with all my vices/
when all I needed was a friend/
Mourning since the morning I left you/
left a lonely life for two.
Done deal, Don DeLillio/
a lonely life for you.

WITH CREAM SODA
He's wasting all his clams/
he's wasting all his beans on me/
and cream soda/
he's taking me to see/
the latest DVDs/
when they hit the big screen/
with cream soda.
was drinking on the job/
now he can't get a job/
so he just sits and drinks/
cream soda.
He's so fucking lazy/
cream soda/
he's so fucking lazy/

He's so fucking lazy/

Endless Horizons

|
So I've been awake/
for ten minutes now/
and there's only moonlight.
So I'll light my lamp/
with that in my hand/
go down to the market.
Where is your god?
Well he's dead in the ground.
Where is your god?
Well he's dead in the ground.
Without God/
without morals/
your only science now is sorrow/
what you know today you can't know tomorrow.
Without some absolute/
there is nothing that's true/
so there's nothing to do/
except study the blues.
And nothing means nothing/
if everything's dust/
so everything you knew is totally fucked/
but carry on/
carry on/
carry on, carry on, carry on 'til your carrion/
carry on, carry on, carry on
to endless horizons/
to endless horizons/
to endless horizons/
to endless horizons/
to endless horizons/
to endless horizons/
to endless horizons

Our Boy

And I was crying for the death of the Left/
and thinking these 5 years can only lead to regret/
before you raised me from the tomb just like you raise your courgettes/
and seeing you in your cardigan makes me feel better but/
who could've thought that this geography teacher
would take on the mantle of glorious leader?
Oh, Jeremy, you just seem so nice/
won't they let you in the house tonight?
*our boy delivers immensely rousing speech*

Sunny/

And when it all has gone to waste/
I see the humiliations of decay
Material things/

but god I need money/
for good times
Alas!
I desire too much.
Prospecting/

Ready/

TOTAL YULETIDE PT. V: "Total Playtime attempt faith"
TOTAL YULETIDE PT. VI: "A recapitulation of Total Playtime's position"
O'er the mountains & the moors
hear the angels calling
"Christ the saviour ere is born"
Here on Christmas morning
Be ye peasant, kings or lords
Come let thee adore him
All yr sins shall be absolved
Here on Christmas morning
All ye faithless or unsure
Kneel now before him
Accept him as yr only God
or spend yr Christmas mourning
Feel it in my bones
Feeling all alone
Feeling something's wrong
but I know its Christmas
Call you on the phone
Message at the tone
I know you ain't at home
but I need to fix this mess
£240 in my clip
But it don't mean shit
Motherfucking bitch
I'm alone this Christmas
Feel the silences
Echo through my crib
I don't feel rich
I guess this is kismet
I guess this is kismet time
Feel like Lazarus
I just can't get the rest
Wanna lie down in the dust
Taking care of business
Frogs & blood & locusts
& I'm losing all my focus
All alone
Christmas time w/ all the strangers
Fill the streets & see the manger
God & glory be our saviour
Hear the angels sing
Wish it could be a Merry Christmas
but it's just a sad Christmas day
Yes it could be Merry Christmas
If only I could kneel & pray
Boys don't cry
I thought I heard a voice
Calling out to me
Bliss was it in this
Dawn to be alive
Jesus took my hand
I know
Though I left the world I loved
I found a new place to reside above
& Jesus took my hand
& led me by his side
O' ye mighty hand
Lift up thine pearly gates
I'm here to see the world
I'm told, here awaits
My authentic self
Bathed in sin
Thrown into a world
Indifferent
& truth itself is
Concealing
So I'll never see beyond
These worldly things
All I'm left with
Is choice
So I'll try in vain to be a
'Good boy'
& try & try again to
Enjoy
Time chained to this life
GOD IS DEAD
GOD IS DEAD
MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND
GOD IS DEAD
GOD IS DEAD
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Near at hand
Is God
but difficult to grasp like his
Swift sword
Barely time to gasp
'Thank you, Lord'
Before he up and fucking died
