Lyrics:
What's her name?
Rosamund!
Yes, of course, it would be
"Rosamund" what?
Plinth
Plinth?
Of the meatpacking Plinths?
So, she's the meat heiress?
On top of that plinth from which Colston toppled down
Idols
Bone Idols
Bury your Bone Idols
Bone Idols
Let's put a bronze ten foot tall toddler in town
say it's the only way
Lay you down on a plinth
Now the sky is taking a black tint
Lay you down on a plinth
Now the sky is taking a black tint
I cut you
And been known to use it
But trepidation is a far slicker song
Mistress from the sucking pit
Embossed by her postulant gaze
Like Medusa on a plinth
I am
past sins
Was too tight to her body thin
All held in place by the plinth
But the years have approached
Bellow out the greys of the throat
It drains
bullets in
We've all got a game to play
And we all want to win
The world blows so cold
Around scores of concrete plinths
In the metropolis we live in
Stand
wheelbarrows full of banknotes
Some of them worthless Confederate money
Stashed in plinths of various toppled statues
They bartered it on a Mississippi square
Beneath this bold and brilliant sun
But this I swear to all
A monument to build beneath the arbors
Upon a plinth that towers towards the trees
But
begging resurrection
From Gods upon their forest plinths
Whose epitaphs read of re-ascending to win
Remission from despair through a holocaust of sin
and the suspense of more to come
IMG4457, wearing nothing but a new postcode
Statuesque on bedspread plinth and reddened room
As family smiles from fresh IKEA
of plinths where Midian lies
Midian
Haunted by this portent
This obsession in my mind
With a city sunk below
Tall cedar groves and graves sublime
The tenacity of man
Put a hammer in your hand
This talisman demands
You compete with the past
The stories of your clan
Are the plinth on which you
I got 3 on
Summers been chillin' in crystalline capsules
Peep the crystal plinths upholdin' platinum statues
Prismatic minerals collide in this
on the mantelpiece
Diamond on the plinth
Persian rug leopard prints
Ghost and leather seats and custom trim
We can dip and see what there's to be seen
In the city
the murmur of crowds gathered around store windows
Where newscasters announce the death of an actress
And the name of some cult
Plinths of tiny gods formed
the back of my hand
So close your eyes embrace the pain
God damn!
Be still, be still
My goat on a plinth
My tongue is sharp
And now you're quivering
Don't
I don't stand a chance
Perhaps I gave myself a second thought
Put my heart on a plinth
Forget how high I may drop
Smile with my eyes
Flaunt what
simply played her game
Played her game
But should we have a plinth to fill
Let's put a statue on a hill
Underneath what do we say
Sarah Gilbert saved
Cracked column, broken plinth
Palace and labyrinth
Sinking into the sea
Our whole world is falling down
Smashed beyond repair
Feathers everywhere
My whole
bare neck on the 24th of plinth
The storm door is forced shut
Of all seven I'm the quiet one
And I never caught your sun
So take me through your
Unrelenting persecution.
Heaving stone, emaciating light.
Extravasation channels - the plinth awakens,
Mechanical majesty of ascendant terror,
Skulls
I look at you, and all that you've got
I've placed you on a plinth, you've got what I've not
Life's not a race, who gives a fuck what's achieved
Crumbling plinth, blooming ruin
Burgeoning pillars, swelling walls
Springs of need elope the growth
appear not to think of my next step ?
I brood over my dream , over my coming conquest
Building huge castles, on a plinth of the future.
There is a race
