about

Recorded middle of June 2008 in the allergen saturated smogosphere of London. This song sums up something of my relationship with hayfever.

lyrics

I pray the rain will come and wash the pollen from the air
and lay the wand’ring souls to rest in the bosom of the earth
and calm the carnal carnival floating by drunk
on the sap, on the season, sharing my bed

Now they’re in me, and they’re the boss of me now
always in the corner of my eye, sharp like splintered glass

For as a boy I had shunned the shires and the meadowland
I did not know then how I jilted a friend
and now they claw inside me, blind me, and madden me
seed sown in the sky brings tears to my eyes

Now they’re in me, and they’re the boss of me now
always in the corner of my eye, I’ll get no sleep again tonight
