lyrics
In a play of melting light
I saw it here, quite clear, tonight:
rivers bleeding, flowing cold,
spinning threads in heavy gold.
Have to say and have to do:
whatever they are telling you.
What to write and what to know,
where to stay and where to go.
Nervous like a forest fire;
crackle, spark, and blue sapphire—
almost gone and almost there:
the sibyl dancing in the air
steals your eyes to feed the flies,
and on her loom she weaves your doom,
sheer and silk in tatters torn,
but like a skin it must be worn.
And as you sleep, the stars she is spinning.
And when you wake, the world she is weaving.
And what would you manipulate?
In what way would you change your fate?
What thing then would you create
to realise your mistakes too late?
The destiny that haunts and baits,
around a phantom corner waits.
She is three, and holds in thrall
the balance frozen in its fall.
And as you sleep, the stars she is spinning.
And when you wake, the world she is weaving.
Spinning threads in heavy gold...
I saw it here, quite clear, tonight:
rivers bleeding, flowing cold,
spinning threads in heavy gold.
Have to say and have to do:
whatever they are telling you.
What to write and what to know,
where to stay and where to go.
Nervous like a forest fire;
crackle, spark, and blue sapphire—
almost gone and almost there:
the sibyl dancing in the air
steals your eyes to feed the flies,
and on her loom she weaves your doom,
sheer and silk in tatters torn,
but like a skin it must be worn.
And as you sleep, the stars she is spinning.
And when you wake, the world she is weaving.
And what would you manipulate?
In what way would you change your fate?
What thing then would you create
to realise your mistakes too late?
The destiny that haunts and baits,
around a phantom corner waits.
She is three, and holds in thrall
the balance frozen in its fall.
And as you sleep, the stars she is spinning.
And when you wake, the world she is weaving.
Spinning threads in heavy gold...

The Stellar Nursery
by VietgroveA progressive/electronic masterpiece with a definite Canterbury flavour. This one is really worth checking out!

You'll Miss Me Most 7-inch
by The Living KillsWander Gothic catacombs as poetry sails into your ears on a storm of guitars and electronics. At once an impossibly ephemeral silken shroud and a super-dense metallic artifact of impenetrable mystery.

Monday Machines
by Monday MachinesCary's 2010 experimental/psych/folk/rock collaboration with Allan Coberly. Acoustic guitars and jackhammers! Hurrah!

Just played the Supernatural track as a taster before setting down for a full session and wow, its fantastic, much better than i imagined. This is a straight link to the 60s and the music of my youth. Custard Flux, you rock. Thank you.
