lyrics

A picture of a man with a rope laden head
painted on a tablet of clay,
purchased in an alley in the town of Taormina
on a cloudless Sicilian day.

We feed, we drink,
endeavour not to think.
The Isola, addled lust,
slow intimations of dust.

Not me, not me, that is not me, that is not my clay, not me…

George Johnston tilts in his abbreviated span,
a young woman makes an entreaty,
thousands of miles and days from Hydra
on a dim, forsaken night in Sydney.

To the rains exposed,
summer rains that open and close.
To a soak, to a lunger,
they keep getting younger and younger.

Not me, not me, that is not me, that is not my clay, not me…

I have always felt like a sheep beneath the pelt of an ape.
You can never get away there’s always some new affray to escape.
The next ten years will be terrible.

Not me, not me, that is not me, that is not my clay, not me…
