lyrics

"Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness",
A long hard week draws in;
Ample celery for A.A. Milne,
A lanyard round the neck.

You've got to take some steps
Out of the comfort quarter;
Don't take it for granted
That things will improve

Fear all around us,
We are not so tactile;
Like Turner's Napoleon,
An iceberg of a man.

Is it autumn in England
Or am I pleased to see you?
Text and trinket,
Taken by the hand
There's a whole world out there
There's a whole world out there
Art and literature,
People and places, embraces.

Fear has hold of us,
Language diminished;
A frugal man stranded in Dubai,
A statue in an egg-timer.
Cathedrals of lulled and dumbfound
Lovers.

"Hill-tops of iron iron Glitter hot i' the sun
And the rivers we're eyeing Burn to gold as they run
Burning hot is the ground Liquid gold is the air
Whoever looks round Sees eternity there"

Like Disco Inferno
I can't see through it...

31 years of retrograde doctrines.
Sneers on their faces like Martin Amis

(there's a whole world out there)
Is it autumn in England
Or am I pleased to see you?
A cup of Earl Grey
will see us through.
