INFANTILE




If you're a child, you are curious about your environment.
You're overturning rocks. You're plucking leaves off of trees 
and petals off of flowers, looking inside things  

and you're doing things that create disorder 
in the lives of the adults around you.

ME TAKE




GREED is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person 
in an endless effort to satisfy the NEED 
without ever reaching SATISFACTION

Wake & bake,
Need a hit.


LOL. Laughing out loud, right kids?
Hand me your phone, I need to get this out there.
BAM. Nailed it. Bend over, yer gonna like.


The take-down will just be a few more minutes.
Out of the frying pan & into the fire I'm afraid.
You're in luck tho! Punishment? Does indeed appear
to be on the menu.

Both sides rotten 
both compromised
not surprised - terminal.
Crony capitalism has run its course
BUT c'mon, THE most corrupt administration
in U.S. history? Your vote?? Jesus man.
One last 'fuck you asshole' right?
Let's blow it up real good.
THAT'S the ticket
(how it's done).

Good job! YOU ROCK!
short term gain, long term pain
Can I be your friend?
Pass the bong,
need a hit.

Trumpism is kind of like smoking. Feels good.
A slow suicide in a life that doesn't
really matter anyway.











That said, 
This new populist conservatism
is just a flash in the pan
once everyone sees it
for what it is

A con.

THE CIRCLE



high on the hill in this red room by the ocean
we lay down on the floor of this house that you were formed in
and the marks on your skin tell your story to my fingers
close my eyes like a blind man and I wait to ride the night

volume up . 1080p


scroll to bottom for story
watch clip first













out is the moon as it lights a naked shoulder
and this scar that it leaves is it all that you take with you
as the fires all ignite like one thousand magic lanterns
close my eyes like a blind man and I wait to ride the night

THE CIRCLE: story

I was browsing in an independent CD store on Queen West in Toronto
guessing early '97 and they were playing this disc
through their sound/speakers

"who's this"? asking the rustic dude behind the counter
He handed me the empty disc case ... "Babble, New Zealand" he said
"The guy from Thompson Twins, new band"
Right. I need this, 'sold'.

An hour later, ripping off the celophane - impatient
Thinking WTF - Thompson Twins? Right
OMFG

New Sony CD player
Marantz 1060 integrated power
Stax electostatic headphones
(a puff of inspiration)


ok, make no mistake about it
there were some sordid substances 
in the mix - there and here

I listened to it every day for a month
then once a week
once a month
then once a year


Guessing my last spin maybe 2003 - 2004


YouTube surfing in late 2024 - Jesus, BABBLE!
sifting through my discs - finding it, putting it on and ...
still holds up 30 years later
gotta do a remix of this


so cool
