The Colour of Time - Part 15

 

'What are you?' Dora asked in almost speechless amazement and awe.

'I don't quite know,' said the guardian and jumped to all his four feet at the same time. 'But I do not feel Emerald today.'

When he landed on all fours he did this on the snow-frozen grounds under frost covered trees in the forest outside the City of Earth. The sun was shining bright and the moon seemed to smile a sickled smile from the same clear-blue sky at the same time.

'I think,' the guardian said looking at himself from neck to tail spinning around in circles, 'my wish has given me the form of a snowlion.'

'So something or someone has brought us back to Lutetia?' the llama asked looking at some remarkable landscapes.

'I bet not for long, animal,' the bard replied. 'I bet not for long.'


Bromford (Needless to Say)

Rainstorm, brainstorm, faces in the maelstrom
Huddle by the puddles in the shadows where the drains run
Hot dogs, wet clogs clicking up the sidewalk
Disappearing into the booze shop
Rainbow queues stand down by the news stand, waiting for the late
Show
Pin ball, sin hall, minds in free fall
Chocolate-coloured ladies making eyes through the smoke-pall
Bromford (needless to say)
I'm alone on your streets on a Friday evening
I've been here all of the day
I'm going nowhere with nowhere to go
Football supporters taking the waters
They're looking round for the twilight daughters
Non-stop strip club pornographic bookshop
Come into the back and take your time and have a good look
Old man laughs with flowers in his hair
Newspaper headline "Midde East Deadline"
Jazz musicians are down on the breadline
Bromford (needless to say)


I'm alone on your streets on a Friday evening
I've been here all of the day
I'm going nowhere with nowhere to go
Bromford feeds the needs and hides the deeds, the mind that bleeds
Disenchanted, downstream in the night
Bromford hears the lies, the twisted cries, the lonely sighs
Till she seems lost in dreams
The sun goes down on a neon eon
Though you'd have a job explaining it to Richard CΕ“ur de Lion
Animation, bar conversation, anticipation, disinclination
Poor old wino turns with dust in his eyes
Begs for the dregs from the bottom of the kegs, man
You've never seen a lady lay down and spread her legs like
Bromford (needless to say)
I'm alone on your sheets on a Friday evening
I've been here all of the day
I'm going nowhere with nowhere to go
Bromford (needless to say)
I'm alone on your streets, or am I dreaming
I've been here all of the day
I'm going nowhere with nowhere to go
