lyrics

Oh won’t you hearken here, brother in exile
This is your superego bringin’ the news
The barricades are down at the turnstiles
Exit angels left it for you to choose

And I know you’ve had a taste of the sweet life
Soft and supple and tender and true
And it ended without trace of a good fight
It ended up hardening you

Let’s take on the town and find the wild light of Turner in real time
Slip into the summer and sever from our suffering skin
Roses flowing over the Thames, we’re flowing over a goldmine
Silver in the skyline again

All the fallen false fruit in the new Rome
All those fleeing like a Wild Geese Redux
They say they’re craving for the place that they new as their one true home
We both know it wasn’t for you

So don’t you wallow now, brother in exile
Don’t you swallow what you know isn’t true
Don’t lose sight of the flight of a life of a highness of mind
That’s death and destruction to you

Let’s take on the town and weave a wide web of wit by the river
Cathedral on a level as the water washes over the din
Roses flowing over the Thames, we have been delivered
To disappear into the luminous twilight of learning and sin

Let’s take on the town and find the wild light of Turner in real time
Slip into the summer and sever from our suffering skin
Roses flowing over the Thames, we’re flowing over a goldmine
Silver in the skyline again

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