I went to a man who read my hands
He said I'm trying quite hard to understand
Do you write with your left hand?
Do you write with your right hand?
I said
I write with both hands man
'cause they forced me to change at school man
But I had other plans.
I had other plans
He says
So, you're ambidextrous,
Don't expect me to be impressed
'Cause I don't care which hand you write with
Or which way that you dress
Which makes me wonder why he asked.
So I stretch out my arms, trying to keep calm,
And for a while the lines in his forehead
Are like the lines in my palms.
He says
You've got a problem with the future
You think understanding it doesn't matter.
You're unfaithful in your thinking
You're ambitious, too ambitious
It gets you down.
You're judgemental, critical, hate the superficial
But use appearances to judge other people.
You're lazy, determined
Selfless, self serving
It just depends what mood you're in.
…So you want to get away from the humdrum,
Fine, find your own sweet oblivion,
Take the motorway round the urban sprawl before it kills us all
But as the music plays it seems so beautiful…
He says
Your soul is like pieces of broken glass in a hollow tree
…And I'm thinking it's none too flattering
He's staring at the hands he's holding
My wrists are aching
You'll never let down a friend
Unless he lets you down first
But you're so bad at revenge
You always come of worse
And now the room seems darker,
But outside the sun is shining
I can see a smile is forming on his lips,
And after an age he turns and says
He says:
One day you will soon find yourself at a party,
There will be a girl there - her face will seem familiar.
It will remind you of someone you haven't met yet.
The next night you will find yourself at a party
There will be a girl there who will remind you
Of the girl you saw at the party the night before
You will find her easy to talk to, she will seem to like you
Because she reminds you of the girl you saw the night before.
This is a great and, strangely, underrated album. The elegant melody of "Leafy Lane" , the repressed rage of "Sci-Clone" the haunting beauty of "Orange". Invest in it now. Chaos a Go-Go
