Sophie’s Stardom
VOLUME 16 -Sky Burial- 2nd Quarter 2009
1- SIRIUS THE DOG STAR BECKONS- If that is all That went wrong Then what is The fucking problem! The Mayor of London Sends out his men To try and track us down Again And keep the runaround ticking over Maximum stay four hours So near and yet so far I am with you
2- ROAD CREW- Like your female bass Boom Boom Thumping out Across the room Go out touring Something to do We are the Road Crew I can skip off and ride you see I’m lucky enough To have been given these opportunities The three-headed Cerberus dog Is on the picture of the Hermit In the Thoth Deck by Crowley
3- DISOBEDIENT PHONE- Disobedient phone Switches off when we’re not alone Last number redial When it’s not what I want Goes silent When I need that tone Goes “Can you feel it”, though Genuine response Although approval May not be necessary Tried and trusted checklists Keep us positive Become more humble or more gung-ho
4- VIRTUE- Sun in Aries Three of Wands Three crispy Fivers just because Fifteen quid Kisschase Or am I outbid Never There again from Clockwork Mouse A novelty, eh, three Fivers at once Three cigarettes three flames Fame like when you’re sitting with your friends smoking in a bar Virtue in a cigarette pack Three left going back to back You are famous when you’ve only got three cigarettes left You’ve got to do something about it How much longer have you got before you run out Like the Thundercats Like going into withdrawal The Sunshine starts diminishing The lust for the addiction starts to bite and take control... The Universe like the Planning Department Whatever flavour catfood specially for today like Bounty Hunter in Soup Kitchen running in a maze A colour chart for the day Colours from a chart On your Mandinka take your chances like Geography from Hyperspace Transit Chill stumble through The Book of Days
5- GALACTIC CENTRAL POINT- Shout at my alarm clock And it turns off Don’t need one any louder Thunder and Lightning we are Dealing with the horses in the Yard Galactic Central Point Standing in defiance Pushing out Interlocking system Dealing with Something slightly bigger Than just the weekly shop
6- DEMETER- You could get three fivers change From a twenty Or else you have to build them up You could pay with a tenner and get a fiver if your change is not enough Demeter at the Cafe says Good Morning to Bayswater Chance to no spare tenners find To be handed three at once If it costs more than five quid and I have to break into another note Harlesden twinned with Dar-es-Salaam Southall Delhi Belly
