falling away through dusty minds
escaping out of the cave
there is no revolution
just curses and apathy
what became of evolution
a backward step through time

no one gives up for anything
and in the din of the crash
they’ll see what happens here
with their jigsaw memory
a universe trapped inside a tear
everyone gives in to everything

oops. guess where I got inspiration from.

[marigold]

I’m sure they’ll be there in the first few months of 2011.

[marigold]

yeah i saw that – they forgot about Siamese Dream and Gish?

[marigold]

I wouldn’t call myself a hardcore collector, but:

1. Today/Rocket NZ cassette
2. Siamese Dream NZ cassette
3. Siva Australia single
4. Machina II vinyl (doesn’t everybody?)
5. MCIS vinyl

Treading on the light waves
Turning into particles
Floating out in space
Gravity not holding back
The demons don’t possess
And the night unfolds
into dreams that are endless

Waking up to see the dawn
This sight at the edge
We never tire of this
A quantum adventure
Into the future as shown
Bending the rules of time
as we chase the unknown

[marigold]

i have this as my background at the moment

[marigold]

and though we cannot see it
the future seems bright
it seems that is the way things are
if you follow your inner light

I really like this bit.
Find a publisher, dammit.

I’m keeping some poems aside for a book, that "may" be published in 2012, in collaboration with someone from the oboard.
Also working on a story for an art project with a couple of other SP fans.

Someone’s paid more than $593 for a SP cassette??? I can understand vinyl going for a lot more, but a CASSETTE?

[marigold]

I’m wondering what is the most expensive SP cassette that anyone has seen?

I don’t think it could be more than this one:

The Death of a Dictionary is the debut album by alternative rock band Public Affection, who subsequently changed their name to \"Live\" and released seven more studio albums. It was released in 1989, while the band members were still in high school, via the band’s own label, Action Front Records. Just 2,000 copies of the album were made, all on cassette, and it is long out of print. The track \"Good Pain\" was eventually reworked for inclusion on the first Live EP, Four Songs, and their debut album Mental Jewelry. The album has a sound quite different to anything the band would later release as Live. Aside from \"Good Pain\", the remainder of the songs are still only officially available on this cassette, although the album is widely available on the internet via illegal download. Between 2005 and 2007 the average eBay selling price for the official cassette was $593.00.[/quote:1ap2yesb]

The Police – Synchronicity II

Another suburban morning
Grandmother screaming at the wall

We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies
We can’t hear anything at all
Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustrations
But we know all her suicides are fake

Daddy only stares into the distance
There’s only so much more that he can take
Many miles away something crawls from the slime at the
Bottom of a dark Scottish lake

Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into the sky
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today
He doesn’t think to wonder why
The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts on a red light street
But all he ever thinks to do is watch
And every single meeting with his so-called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch
Many miles away something crawls to the surface of a dark Scottish lake

Another working day has ended
Only the rush hour hell to face
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race
Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now looming in the headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache
Many miles away there’s a shadow on the door of a cottage on the
Shore of a dark Scottish lake

[marigold]

Don’t want to go back
To those feelings
The change was wrong
All that was there
Was an empty space
A hollow place
Filled up with darkness
The clouds cover the reality
Wake up and see
What is growth
How do we shine
If held back
What is right
How do we smile
If dragged down
We’ll find the hope one day
Somewhere under the clouds
And move on to another dream
Tomorrow brings the smiles
To push the darkness away

[marigold]

An echo fading away
Day after day
Pining for his heart
Seen in the reflection
He’s losing connection
To all but his image
Refusing her advances
She calls to him
But all that’s left of her
Is just an echo

we’re so insignificant
just a part of random chaos
we can be amazed
at the complexity
or marvel in simplicity

was it chance or purpose
how we came to be
a result of balanced turbulence
or organised miracles
of radical creativity

So, being myself finally got me a job. Have been trying to find one for 2 years, and even though it is minimum wage, it’s for an environmental organisation, who do some campaigning, policy/advisory work, organise conferences, and have a membership of all these other environmental groups (good contacts). So at least it’s some money, something to do with the environment, which is what I’ve wanted to do, and it’s a step up from what I’ve done before – as I will be sole charge of an office.

[marigold]

Tired eyes, weary heart
No sleep to dream
Of what may come
Not knowing where to start

With the warnings to heed
Around the circles inside
You can’t escape it
Any more than you need

It’s evident in your surrounds
The shame of your change
Lost in the path of the ghosts
Their weakened trails now found

The path is clear enough to find
And the only thing to do
Is to keep a safe distance
When time keeps leaving you behind

[marigold]

I don’t think he read from the book at all. But played some music while Claire read from it.

Also he played In the Arms of Sleep, which hasn’t been performed live since 96-97…

Where are the lonely souls?
– gathering sea shells in the mud
picking up broken pieces
unsure of their goals
Where is that magic spell?
– it’s written in cryptic code
used to heal and make whole
an empty and broken shell
And when the piece is mended
the patterns will make sense
colours blending together
when the lonely search has ended

[marigold]

if i sit it comes out
so i will stand for now

if i run it will spill
so a wall i become

if i smoke it will hurt
so no nicotine for now

if i fart it will break loose
so give me a fucking toilet[/quote:2plqywtz]

you need to sort out your shit

[marigold]

childhood memories lost in time
alarm rings and its time to go
a small ray of light from inside
gives enough energy to leave

riding through the streets
stare at the grey towers above
a small part of the system
working for what happiness?

emptiness dwelling inside
dig within for a ray of hope
bring it out and create something new
for people to share

emptiness fills with bliss
escaping into a false reality
a magical blend of colours and shades
accolades from the addiction

but what does it achieve?
the grey towers are still there
but far in the distance
the childrens’ laughter rings out.
