"John Lilly" lyrics
"John Lilly"
Now in this book there are a lot of stories about talking animals... talking snakes, and birds, and fish... and about people who try to communicate with them
John Lilly, the guy who says he can talk to dolphins, said he was in an aquarium, and he was talking to a big whale who was swimming around and around in his tank. And the whale kept asking him questions telepathically. And one of the questions the whale kept asking was: "do all oceans have walls?"
You know, I've always thought that one of the most serious defects of the human body was that you couldn't close your ears
You can't point them anywhere or close them, they just sort of hang there on the sides of your head
But an acupuncturist explained to me that the pressure points in the ears are very important, because the whole body is represented right there in the ear
"The ears, "he said, "are vestigial fetuses, little versions of yourself, one male and one female." And he showed me: "here's the lobe, that's the miniature upside down head; and this curve here is the spine, and right here are the little genitals..."
And that was when I went back to wearing hats

Nico - "You Forget To Answer" When I remember what to say
When I remember what to say
You will know me again
And you forget to answer
When I remember what to say

And you forget...
Tindersticks - "Show Me Everything" Show me! Show me!
Complexities, treacheries
We watch through glass, we see nothing
Latex on my fingertips
We touch through glass, we feel nothing
All we've carried, all we've owned
Scattered like...
Fever Ray - "Keep The Streets Empty For Me" Memory comes when memory's old
I am never the first to know
Following the stream up North
Where do people like us float
There is room in my lap
For bruises, asses, handclaps
I will never...
CocoRosie - "K-Hole" Tiny spirits in a k-hole
Bloated like soggy cereal
God will come and wash away
Our tattoos and all the cocaine
And all of the aborted babies
Will turn into little bambies
Wounded river push along...
Aldous Harding - "Imagining My Man" I'm going to answer, protecting
It can be so hard to forgive
It's not what I thought, and it's not what I pictured
When I was imagining my man
You are so nervous all of the time, living the classics...
