NICK HARPER'S IN TOWN !!

 

Nick Harper's in town!!

Watch out without fear

Marshal your forces

In defence of your ears.

 

The drawbridge is down

The moats are breached

Synapses blown

Indelibly reached.

 

Be aware of Nick's presence

You're in for a treat

The pandemic approaches

Sinking sand under feet.

 

Nick's  around again

Come out of your trenchs

You man-sized bairns

An' pretty young wenches.

 

Across the seaweedy strand 

Was just  movies  before

Footprints in no-mans land

Of  feelings insecure.

 

Prepare for overload,

Portcullis raised ,

Tears flow more -

Species disappearing -

In misty-eyed awe

Fleetingly we gaze.

 

The time it is trod

The age it is cast

The future is now

Hope we're not the last.

 

Goodbye brethren dear

Never the same

Radiant beauty so clear

Immortal star game.

 

Nick's latest number

Hath shaken their leaves

In vast cosmic slumber

On the dying trees.

 

The new age beatnik

Into his musik;

Such a shame

And a waste of space

The average Joe public

Befuddled human race.

 

Nick Harper's in town

And there's no one around

All at home in their beds

Watching TV in their heads.

 

He's singing to you now

In your comatose sleep

Hark! Awaken the lark!

Mausoleum messages

So deep.

 

When the lady of love

Returns to my land

We shall all link hands

And dance around,

 

Down from the leaves to the roots of the tree

Down slippery fret scales to being thee

Down through channels of history

Down to the business of eternity.

 

Auto scan

Remote control

Feel I'm living

In another world

Same old wire

Leading me higher....

 

Silicone chipped shoulder

Always growing older.....

It's not me

It's not me

Together learning

Forever yearning

To be free.
