Hunter's Moon … / Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 509 & Part 510

 

Hunter's Moon

I'm so tired of being alone
These penitent walls are all I've known
The songbird calling
Across the water
Outside my silent asylum

Oh, don't leave me on my own
Left me standing all alone

So cut me down to size
So I can fit inside
Lies that will divide
Us both in time

See the turncoat on his knees
The vagabond that no one sees
When that moon stole your shadows
When you can't save the ones you caught in battle

Oh, don't leave me on my own
Left me standing all alone

Hunter's Moon

I'm the Hunter, Twenty-Five, the little tawny owl, thought, but there are bigger predators in the forest. And from time to time I could use some Premium Treats from Eeylops Owl Emporium.

"Dracula From Bromford"

Got no future, great big past
Little bitty guy on the rim of my glass
Gotta meet the plane, so I can get my monkey
Teach him to be cool but a little bit funky
Got no credit, and I got no fear
And I got about a buck so I can buy a beer
Gotta see a doctor 'bout the words I've said
And I gotta get a bike and I gotta paint it red

Oh no, we gotta go, we're not gonna live forever
Why, why, we gotta die? You know that we'll be together
Hey, hey we gotta say, I could never be a savior
You don't have to be there, cause I'm never, never, never comin' home

Three feet deep in a slow motion wreck
I was walkin' the walk and I was talkin' to the best
I was wrinkled and shriveled and steppin' outta line
Playin' the end against the middle and losing every time
I was veinous and heinous and crippled and sad
Thought I was invincible, the baddest of the bad
Then I woke up one morning, and I stepped out of bed
Had to get a bike, had to paint it red

Oh no, we gotta go, we're not gonna live forever
Why, why, we gotta die? You know that we'll be together
Hey, hey we gotta say, I could never be a savior
I know that you'll miss me but I'm never, never, never comin' home

Crazy (I'm crazed, I wanna tell you that I'm crazy) (repeat throughout bridge)
Janice Ian Curtis Mayfield, Leslie Gore Vidal Sassoon
How you think I, How you think I, How you think I'll take it
Said, how you think I'll take it when I hear it on the MOON
Rebel Joe, wigin' Jane. where will he go and where's the brain
Es de noche, enchilada, pinche cabrón dí por nada

Oh no, we gotta go, we're not gonna live forever
Why, why, we gotta die? You know that we'll be together
Hey, hey we gotta say, I could never be a savior
You don't have to be there, cause I'm never, never, never comin' home

Starin' in disbelief out at the gloom, I was forced with remorse to learn the bassoon
I got real good in about six years, started playing out for a couple of beers
Then one day I was playin' at the gig and in walked the monkey with a couple of funky friends
He came right over and said "this is what you'll do, you're gonna get a bike, you're gonna paint it blue."

Oh no, we gotta go, we're not gonna live forever
Why, why, we gotta die? You know that we'll be together
Hey, hey we gotta say, I could never be a savior
And I know that you'll miss me but I'm never, never, never comin' home

"Song For Bromford"

Some say love is a burning thing
That it makes a fiery ring
Oh but I know love as a fading thing
Just as fickle as a feather in a stream
See, honey, I saw love. You see, it came to me
It put its face up to my face so I could see
Yeah then I saw love disfigure me
Into something I am not recognizing

See, the cage, it called. I said, "Come on in"
I will not open myself up this way again
Nor lay my face to the soil, nor my teeth to the sand
I will not lay like this for days now upon end
You will not see me fall, nor see me struggle to stand
To be acknowledge by some touch from his gnarled hands
You see, the cage, it called. I said, "Come on in"
I will not open myself up this way again

You see, the MOON is bright in that treetop night
I see the shadows that we cast in the cold, clean light
My feet are gold. My heart is white
And we race out on the desert plains all night
See, honey, I am not some broken thing
I do not lay here in the dark waiting for thee
No my heart is gold. My feet are light
And I am racing out on the desert plains all night

So some say love is a burning thing
That it makes a fiery ring
Oh but I know love as a caging thing
Just a killer come to call from some awful dream
O and all you folks, you come to see
You just stand there in the glass looking at me
But my heart is wild. And my bones are steam
And I could kill you with my bare hands if I was free

Today is Wednesday, the 21st of October 2026.

Ignore every shout about War,
Drop the stubborn old block of a Stone,
Skip Paradise skies,
And sweet Valentine sighs,
To speak in a breeze of our own!

What is that?, asked the four pandas. Another philosophical quote?

No, only a few words to hide my own ignorance, said Twenty-Five, the little tawny owl. Here comes the real quote,

'Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action', as William James once said.

Is he trying to hide that Valentine is also a city name?, asked some of the chicks the other chicks.

And the other chicks said, Now we are ignoring War and Stone and Paradise, and Valentine is a town in Jeff Davis County, Texas, United States of Trumperica.

And fourteen foxes wondered, Who wants to be our Valentine?

And twenty-one rams joined the thirteen other pigs, the five more cows, the twenty-seven water buffaloes, the nineteen oxen, the eleven hippopotamuses, the three rhinoceros, the twenty-six deer, the eighteen other horses, the ten leopards, the two more tigers, the twenty-five normal cats, the seventeen more dogs, the nine poodles, the one assistance dog, the twenty-three guide dogs, the fifteen orangutans, the seven gorillas, the thirty thirsty monkeys, the twenty-two dragons, the fourteen hens, the six unicorns, the twenty-eight horses, the twenty zebras, the twelve frogs, the four pandas, the twenty-seven koalas, the twenty bears, the nineteen hares, the eleven hamsters, the three mice, the twenty-three wild boars, the fifteen pigs, the thirty cows, the twenty-two raccoons, the fourteen foxes, the six giraffes, the twenty-nine tigers, the twenty-three lions, the fifteen face-cats, the seven wolves, the thirty dogs, the twenty-two face-monkeys, the fourteen speak-no-evil-monkeys, the six hear-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty-eight see-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty astro-cats, the twelve hipster-cats, the four dragon cats, the twenty-seven hacker cats, the nineteen stunt cats, the eleven ninja-cats, the three pouting cats, the twenty-six crying cats, the eighteen weary cats, the ten kissing cats, the two cats with wry smiles, the twenty-four smiling cats with heart-eyes, the sixteen cats with tears of joy, the eight grinning cats with smiling eyes, the thirty-one grinning cats, the twenty-three spiders, the fifteen scorpions, the seven ladybugs, the twenty-nine bees, the twenty-one ants, the thirty crickets, the twenty-two mosquitoes, the fourteen caterpillars, the six snails, the twenty-six butterflies, the eighteen bats, the ten more chicks, the two chicks, the twenty-five chicks, the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds, and the one little tawny owl…

"Made In Bromford"

My girl is looking like Jane Bond now
My girl is looking like Jane Dean
She wants to be a superhero
And I'm in love with her indeed

She has a russian laser pistol
She fights the aliens from Mars
She works for the secret service
That's why she often meets some stars

She is my girl
Made in Bromford
So take me to the place I long to be
She is the girl
Living in Oklahoma
Why are you so far away from me?

She goes to model competitions
Don't need no dresser of hair
She often leaves me feeling lonely
And keeps me waiting in despair

She is my girl
Made in Bromford
So take me to the place I long to be
She is the girl
Living in Oklahoma
Why are you so far away from me?

(Shake it shake it I need some surfing wax, Baby)

She is my girl
Made in Bromford
So take me to the place I long to be
She is the girl
Living in Oklahoma
Why are you so far away from me?

"Bromford Street"

You asked for me
"Always"
This blasphemy
"Always"

Woke up missing Trina's lighter
Woke up missing Bodhi's laughter
Those early roses, dirty hope is sun
A saint's a sinner with the odd glimmer of fun

Buying slips in the Irish Channel
Broken prince in fluorescent camo

Woke up missing Trina's lighter
Woke up missing Bodhi's laughter
Those early roses, dirty hope is sun
A saint's a sinner with the odd glimmer of fun

(Sun, sun)
Woke up early, bright and horny
(Sun)
Rose early to greet the dawning
Early roses, dirty hope is sun
Early roses, dirty hope is sun

 Today is Tuesday, the 13th of October 2026.

There was an Owl Festival in the City of Beer last weekend, Twenty-Five said, and all they had for a Grand prize was this hrududu.

We did not know you spoke Lapine, said the nineteen hares.

Spoke what?, asked the tawny owl.

The language of rabbits?, one of the smaller hares whispered.

'Read a lot.' as Susan Sontag said, said the owl. 'Expect something big, something exalting or deepening from a book. No book is worth reading that isn’t worth re-reading.'

And all cats said, WHAAAT?

And thirteen other pigs joined the five more cows, the twenty-seven water buffaloes, the nineteen oxen, the eleven hippopotamuses, the three rhinoceros, the twenty-six deer, the eighteen other horses, the ten leopards, the two more tigers, the twenty-five normal cats, the seventeen more dogs, the nine poodles, the one assistance dog, the twenty-three guide dogs, the fifteen orangutans, the seven gorillas, the thirty thirsty monkeys, the twenty-two dragons, the fourteen hens, the six unicorns, the twenty-eight horses, the twenty zebras, the twelve frogs, the four pandas, the twenty-seven koalas, the twenty bears, the nineteen hares, the eleven hamsters, the three mice, the twenty-three wild boars, the fifteen pigs, the thirty cows, the twenty-two raccoons, the fourteen foxes, the six giraffes, the twenty-nine tigers, the twenty-three lions, the fifteen face-cats, the seven wolves, the thirty dogs, the twenty-two face-monkeys, the fourteen speak-no-evil-monkeys, the six hear-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty-eight see-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty astro-cats, the twelve hipster-cats, the four dragon cats, the twenty-seven hacker cats, the nineteen stunt cats, the eleven ninja-cats, the three pouting cats, the twenty-six crying cats, the eighteen weary cats, the ten kissing cats, the two cats with wry smiles, the twenty-four smiling cats with heart-eyes, the sixteen cats with tears of joy, the eight grinning cats with smiling eyes, the thirty-one grinning cats, the twenty-three spiders, the fifteen scorpions, the seven ladybugs, the twenty-nine bees, the twenty-one ants, the thirty crickets, the twenty-two mosquitoes, the fourteen caterpillars, the six snails, the twenty-six butterflies, the eighteen bats, the ten more chicks, the two chicks, the twenty-five chicks, the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds, and the one little tawny owl…

"Bromford"

I get high like Bromford
We had it all but what do I know?
I try to push away the sorrow
But today, it′s too late, I try tomorrow
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

I think that you were kind of mean (kind of mean, kind of mean)
You just replaced me in the scene (in the scene, in the scene)
I thought that we were evergreen (evergreen, evergreen)
Like a never-ending dream

Never been on the TV
Scratched me off of your CV
Out of your mind
Out of your mind
Never been so uneasy
Jealousy got me freaky
Out of my mind

So I get high like Bromford
We had it all but what do I know?
I try to push away the sorrow
But today, it's too late, I try tomorrow
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

I′m losing sleep all by myself
I'm wide awake and I just wonder how
You put my heart back on the shelf (back on the shelf)
Well, I'ma be a loner now

Never been on the TV
Scratched me off of your CV
Out of your mind
Out of your mind
Never been so uneasy
Jealousy got me freaky
Out of my mind

So I get high like Bromford
We had it all but what do I know?
I try to push away the sorrow
But today, it′s too late, I try tomorrow
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

Drownin′ in my sofa with my blood shot red eyes (ooh)
Ridin' rollercoaster ′til I see the sunrise

I get high like Bromford (I get high, I get high)
We had it all but what do I know?
I try to push away the sorrow (I get high, I get high)
But today, it's too late, I try tomorrow
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

I get high like Bromford
Bromford (yeah), Bromford (yeah), Bromford
I get high like Bromford
Bromford (yeah), Bromford (yeah), Bromford

"Time On Bromford"

What's behind your eyes makes you a star

I want to take my time on Bromford
And give it meaning
They say you get what you deserve
I know the feeling

Those dumb looks only get you so far
What's behind your eyes makes you a star

I'm gonna walk onto that stage like it's my destiny
Stand and tell the truth, make no apology
If tomorrow I should die, these are my memories
I'm gonna take this simple life and make history

I dream a fantasy
And then achieve it
Repeat the greatest lie
'Til they believe it

You and me, not gods, define us now
You come in screaming, leave in silence

Oh, I'm gonna walk onto that stage like it's my destiny
Stand and tell the truth, make no apology
If tomorrow I should die, these are my memories
I'm gonna take this simple life and make history

Let's fly higher than the mockingbirds
They won't touch us way up here
In the soul asylum of the universe
A man can disappear
Raise a glass to the dysfunctional
It's never ever too late
I feel like miracles are happening
If I could just get out the way

I want to take my time on Bromford
And give it meaning
They say you get what you deserve
I know the feeling, feeling, feeling

You've gotta walk onto that stage like it's your destiny
Stand and tell the truth, make no apology
If tomorrow you should die, these are your memories
You've gotta take this simple life and make history
