about

COLLABORATION with FIREFARM

Processed double bass over hard drums and poetry about evolutionary biochemical trappings in everyday life.

Par for the course for Alex and I. FIREFARM.CO.UK

lyrics

Long before middle management, long before kings and coins,
Our mistress was a fizzing brain and tingly-zingly loins,
Our struggle for survival was rewarded with biochemical ecstasay,
Buzzing, blissed-out, snarling and gurning: to protect our DNA,
We competed to eat. The need to breed.
For feed. For seed. We’d war. We’d bleed.
Rewarded to prosper and thrive.
Rewarded to simply stay alive.
As we grew up, dancing with our addiction,
We built a society that denied it – and now we’re conflicted.
Once to keep us alive,
Now not so much, stuck in traffic, on the M25.

FUCKING RARRRRRAGH! BIOCHEMICLUSTERFUCK! MOVE! FUCKING MOVE!

Donuts, donuts, everywhere – all for us to eat,
Carbohydrates, fat, salt and sugar – inspire neurological treats.
We used to crave these goodies from a time when energy was tricky to be found
That energy now is as cheap as chips, and we’re all putting on the pounds.

CALORIES! BIOCHEMICLUSTER-FUCKING YUM!

Village green. Sunday. Sunday. A cricket match takes place.
Gentle summer. Civility. Cucumber sandwich smiles on faces.
Dr. Langman is at the wicket – as he musters up all of his might,
He knocks that troublesome seamer for six to win the match. The fight.

FUCKIN’ ARRRAGH! BIOCHEMICLUSTERFUCK! DIE! FUCKING DIE!

Now we arrive at the Holy Quest – the drive to reproduce
It twitches, itches in our veins – it is the essence of our juice,
Our flesh, our skin, find ancient meaning – the day our fruit is ripe,
Dancing in devoted dreaming – to the tune of Pan’s playful pipes.
We stiffen. We slicken. Cavorting and engorging,
Teasing and pleasing. Heavy breathing, increasing.
Slurping and licking. Plunging and flicking.
Shunting and grunting. The beast/the goddess – one and the same.
