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

Track Name: Bagel shop: 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
Track Name: The stacked-up-man: 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
Track Name: Don't buy matches from LIDL: 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
Track Name: Geoffrey Routh: 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
Track Name: Silverdagger: 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
