lyrics

A LIFE WILL UP AND LEAVE YOU
IF YOU DO NOT WANT IT BACK
AND IT'LL BE TOO LATE TO WANT IT
BECAUSE LIFE'S FUNNY LIKE THAT
I THINK ABOUT HOW HARD IT IS
FOR ONE TO CHANGE THEIR MIND
AND I MYSELF INCLUDED
IT HAPPENS OVER TIME
IT'S PROBABLY PROBLEMATIC
JUST GIVING THINGS A NAME
WITH LANGUAGE REFEREEING
WHAT IS OUT THERE
AND YOUR BRAIN
I THINK THAT WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY
IS ACTION'S PARAMOUNT
IN THE POST FINAL ANALYSIS
IT'S WHAT YOU DO THAT COUNTS

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO
DO YOU REALLY CARE
COULD YOU REALLY LEAVE HERE
AND COULD YOU TRAVEL THERE
ARE YOU NOT A BOHO WASTEMAN
ON THE WRONG SIDE OF A BARREL
OR ARE YOU A PAINTER
WITH A MUSIC
IN YOUR MARROW

IS IT ALL INDULGENCE
AM I WEDDED TO THIS SONG
JUST A SAD SEQUENCE OF SYMPTOMS
THAT PROVES I'M SICK AND WRONG
CAN I WRITE MY WAY FROM WRONG
AND ALCHEMICALLY REFORM
LIKE A GOLDEN BUDDHA BABY
IN A FACTORY BEING BORN

about

Pete Um Cambridge, UK

"A master of the miniature electro-acoustic song-poem, a form he has more or less invented and crystallised himself, his work displays a sardonic wit combined with a healthy misanthropy, in marvellous micro-collages of voice, instruments, samples, and electronics."

-Ergo Phizmiz
