Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 253

Today is Thursday, the 29th of July 2023.

Where is my mind?
Where is the time?

We will return to the Planet of the Apes one day,
the gorilla said to the orangutan.

Smart professor-move, said the orange one.

Is it a town? Is it a flower? Is it a town? Is it a tower?

"Days Of Bromford"

Agatha and I go
Down to the courtyard slinging
Last year's Sundays in the river of time
Agatha and I go
Down to the citadel Sunday
Red church bells and the moon on the rise
If you were to tell her
The days are numbered
I'd break the teeth in your fake ass smile
Maybe in a rare wind
Maybe in a month of Sundays
Maybe in a war I would still read the wrong signs
But I don't mind it
Being in the darkness baby
To be by your side
I would walk the Nile twice
Days of Bromford
Each saint with a cross and a hammer
Radiation of the Cherenkov kind
So we go walking
Birds at the window talking
Jubilations in the faint June shine


Agatha and I go
Down to the citadel winning
Things that graciously came to mind
Gathering the day in
Some make arrangements
Some know the way and they just walk a straight line
Well, Curly's a baker's boy
Living for the harvest nights
Turns to me and says something like
"The world only turns twice
Once for the laughter
Once for the memories after
All the rest is just kicking through the weather and the fines"
So we go dancing
Twist turns and all things fancy
"I blame the baker boy", that's what I had on my mind
You in the here now
Me in the far bar
I'd wait forever if they gave me enough time
Outside walking
Birds at the window talking
Iterations of the faint June shine

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 252

Today is Wednesday, the 21st of June 2023.


WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THOSE CITY-QUIZ-WEEKS,
the monkeys shouted and the Gorillaz were listening...

🎵Sha, sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da-ca, feel good🎵

"Astonished (In Bromford)"

Out here on the sidewalk
At home in the rain
I count the staining gum spots.
If you connect those dots they spell your name
And I stand astonished.
Do we remain?

Way out here, even the odd matters,
Way out here in the rain.
Still at home here in these splatters
Even the rain spits out your name.
And I stand astonished.
And I remain.
You astonish me.
You astonish me.

Out here on the sidewalk, out here in the rain
I count the staining blood drops from some poor unfortunate.
But if you connect those dots
Even they spell your name.
I stand astonished. I refrain.
I stand astonished. We remain.

These aren't my paws, the monkey said.
I am not leaving such imprints.

"Boomtown Bromford"

The Oscar goes to Glen Close tonight
She thanks the lord and her mum in the flashing light
I wonder why the academy has forgotten you
With all the brilliant shows you do
Pretending that you're loving me
Starring in my tragedy

So here we go on the walk of fame
The camera rolls, you appear and forget my name
Don't forget to save your tears for the crying scene
Drama queen on wide screen
The carpet's red it's made of blood
From the love that we once had
Still hear you say...


Our love's like Hollywood
Boomtown Bromford
Perfect smile for a while if it sells
Still hear you say
Our love's like Hollywood
Boomtown Bromford
And you're the nominated one
For the category (of) "sham actress"?
With no success
You close your eyes
And hope that god will bless
Your awfully expensive dress
And maybe he'll l forget the rest

The music swells as the hero dies
He gives his life for his love and the audience cries
There ain't no reason good enough to go on like this
A bad taste after every kiss
Fake tears are your speciality
So don't you cry for me

Still hear you say...
