lyrics

He came to solve a brittle mystery
With his overcoatings on
Said he knew we had a little history
It was a bleak November dawn
Well it’s true that you had kissed me
In the sleek December snow
But if I was Agatha Christie
You were Edgar Allen Poe

The last time that he’d seen ya, you were tango dancing under the moon
Down in Argentina where they sure know how to kick out a tune
I fed him a phoney, said you’d fed-exed me and phoned me from Rome
But you’re a demon, Desdemona, don’t ya know he’s gona follow ya home

It was in the crematorium
While your brave non-believer burned
You said they’d put a moratorium
On the lovers that you’d spurned
I consulted my Victorian
For the way lowdown on you
He was an exacting historian
In truth I wanted it to be true

The last time that you’d seen me, I was shadow-boxing under the midnight sun
Up in northern Norway, no way’ve telling that the daylight is done
You spun me a story about the Pied-Piped ways that you’d flown
But you’re a demon, Desdemona and you know they’re gona follow ya home

Shadows on the fields near the once sweet home where you’d grown
Where now the smooth-tongued satyr sits self-satisfied on his throne
Mother’s meadows in the midst of a heart grown listless and alone
The warm summer wind whips Faraglionian stone

Aims and Methods (2023) signals a new musical direction and the first release recorded and mixed at Doctor M’s own Sublemotion Studios. ... more
