Reaching For John Dowland
Big Big Train

Jonny imagined the wonderful sound

Submarine sunk on the Thames by a cloud

Indian brave in the planes of a mall

Hunting the ground for the shortest return

Away from here a miners’ cage falls


Dancing like rain off the face of the road

Twisting and tearing wheel snakes in his hand

Later is burned, tomorrow is burned

Torching his alien blood in a forge


Away from here the gunners raise a storm



Here you waited for me

Waited long on the outside

Or the darkside or somethin


Jonny wasmaking the wonderful sound

Searching the strings for a meaning

No-one was there, there was no-one at all

Alone in a huddle, smashing electrons

Away from here a city eats itself alive
