Indian Storm...

In the middle of our marble and glass cocoon
A strange orange light seemed to fill the room
Hailstones fell that could of killed horses
We had to put the white flag up to nature's forces
Stray dogs shivering and petrified came together
Under the humidity they tried to hide and cower


Oppressive humidity
Bombay, Jaipur to Delhi
Confused, dirty clouds smother me
They block the light so i can't see

SPLINTERS!

Hot schwarf burns the skin
The hammer splits the nail
Does exactly what it says on the tin
Learn the craft, the holy grail

Macho skill to trade in
Try and balance on the roof beam
As splinters flow in my blood stream
Splinters flow in our blood stream


Rub each others angles off
whittle your world carefully
Gorilla mitts and callous touch
From a branch of my family tree

Broken bones reform tough
Like the knots and whorls of a spiney beam
As Splinters flow in my bloodstream
Splinters flow in our bloodstream


Wears hi-vis when in bed
Dreaming of wet concrete
wears a yellow hard-hat in bed
Dreaming of wet concrete

He'll wear his hi-vis when he's dead
After he fell straight off the roof beam
When splinters flow in his bloodstream
Splinters flow in their bloodstream


Foresee, foresee
limey concrete
long screw for you
paint fumes for you
foresee, foresee
for wood you could
long screw for you
paint fume for you

Bleached White (U235 WMD)

Skull-face witnesses the amputation
Of a sovereign of cruelty with fluorescent in tow
Technicolour visions of war
Poppy-red blood on white snow flows

Bleached bones
Bleached blondes
Bleached bomb shells
Bleached white
Bleached platinum
Bleached light

Brooding, moving, discombobulated
Deformed figures form a wall of khaki ghosts
Gangreen is a shade of war
Trench-foot steps like clanking posts

Bleached bones
Bleached blondes
Bleached bomb shells
Bleached white
Bleached platinum
Bleached light

In the iron grip of general ignorance
Duck & cover, duck & cover
pacified, desensitised, indifferent to horror
War has been the norm and peace the exception
War has been the norm and peace the exception
War has been the norm and peace the exception
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down,

A blood-curdling scream of animal apprehension
Leaps from the mouth of the man in blue
Vultures and dogs did the rest
Animal noise and bombs, baboon, Ba-boom, Ka-boom!

Bleached bones
Bleached blondes
Bleached.............
