Bagel shop 02:22
Well I ate too much porridge And I ate it damn too quick But still I'll take you To the bagel shop We'll get on the tube To London Bridge And then take that bus That goes north When we get there you'll want to try All the many different flavours But you just can't and you know why 'Cause you should pick your favourite Some other time we took That boat to the east And you ended up Feeling quite sick Well I ate too much porridge And I ate it damn too quick But still I'll take you To the bagel shop We'll get on the tube To London Bridge And then take that bus That goes north You'll queue and get The cheese and salmon roll That sure 'aint coming From the ocean And I might pick Some other sort Or just take the hole From your portion

The stacked-up-man is afraid of the draft His flesh is compressed in a stack Made up of many levels like a game-boy-game This guy would only fit in all eight coaches of a train The piled up man is afraid of the draft His meat is as thin as the ham in the pack First Capital Connect to London Bridge He's getting lost somewhere in the tube map grid The stacked-up-man is afraid of the draft His flesh is compressed in a stack The stacked up man is back in one piece In reams of 800 piled up really neat

Don't you buy matches from LIDL For your lover's 28th You'll end up with unlit candles On his special birthday cake Don't you buy matches from LIDL To light up your cigarette You'll end up burning your fingers Or your lover's dining set Don't you buy matches from LIDL You'll need more than one or two If you want to set the world on fire Or just start a flame in you Don't you buy matches from LIDL They won't open up for you If you're feeling sad and lonely Buy some proper ones those will do

Your paintings are green, your spirit it blue I wonder what colour are you Geoffrey Routh You come to the studios everyday Complaining that everyone else is away Geoffrey Routh Geoffrey Routh You come to my studio and knock on my door And then we'll have a chat for an hour or more Geoffrey Routh Geoffrey Routh Your paintings are green, your spirit it blue I wonder what colour are you

I know a pond in a deep valley That sucked inside what would come near That's where I lost my silver dagger To someone weird that lived within I know a pond in a deep valley That sucked inside what would come in That's where I lost my ghetto blaster To someone weird that lived within

about

COLIN MIN SAI UK

Colin Min-Sai picked up pretty fast on what she remembered from her guitar lessons as a teenager, writing some plain and simple melodies around rough skinned day-to-day poetry, made to outlive the grey sky of a less tropical Island, the ordinary is enlarged into new, uncanny and comic reliefs from the present / MY FRIEND ANA WROTE THIS
