Sometimes (Lester Piggot)
by JAMES
There’s a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder
Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in
The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on the concrete
On a flat roof, there’s a boy leaning against the wall of rain
Aerial held high, calling “come on thunder, come on thunder”
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
It’s a monsoon, and the rain lifts lids off cars
Spinning buses like toys, stripping them to chrome
Across the bay, the waves are turning into something else
Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore
The boy is hit, lit up against the sky, like a sign, like a neon sign
And he crumples, drops into the gutter, legs twitching
The flood swells his clothes and delivers him on, delivers him on
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
There’s four new colors in the rainbow
An old man’s taking polaroids
But all he captures is endless rain, endless rain
He says listen, takes my head and puts my ear to his
And I swear I can hear the sea
Somtimes, when I look in your eyes I can see your soul
(I can reach your soul)
(I can touch your soul)
Sometimes
I dream of ceiling wax and cabbages and kings, I dream of space and elephants and stars to ride.
“did i dream you dream about me?”

I met Moby this week at Criminal Records he signed his book and I had lots of photos taken of me, the high light was going to get his flowers beforehand with my Sony Rep – I love flower shopping. Moby was nice and interesting but, I thought he would be more prepared for odd or difficult questions:
“how do you feel about conservation, eco-tourism and American consumerism?”
Oops – dead silence! I thought as he is a vegan and fairly outspoken on animal rights he would have views and thoughts on those subjects.. I was wrong. Not ready best describes his response.
