Don’t think me unkind
Words are hard to find
They’re only cheques I’ve left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind
And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me

De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
They’re meaningless and all that’s true
Poets priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no-one’s jamming their transmission
‘Cos when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you

De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
They’re meaningless and all that’s true

“Interpret signs and catalogue
A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog.
The walls are bad. black. bottom kind.
They are sick breath at my hind
They are sick breath at my hind
They are sick breath at my hind
They are sick breath gathering at my hind”

I couldn’t resist realizing this expression just for you. Exemplify your preferred manifestation today!

Where do I put the books
There’s so many I could read
But
They all are filled
With lies
Where do I put the lies
There’s so many I could say
But
It seems they’re
In the books

Probably not exactly what you’re looking for, but I love, love, love this group and this song.

“Eloise, who played guitar,
sang songs about whales and cops
Terri didn’t give a shit
was just a nihilist”

First off, the song “Dewey Decimal System” is by a guy named R. Stevie Moore and is from his record “Hobbies Galore.” If you’re into Daniel Johnson or any other “outsider” music, this guy would be right up your alley. And I have to admit, it’s a poppy little number!

And I hate to admit it but I have competing purposes to listening to music as I catalog. In a perfect world, I’d listen to classical, non-intrusive instrumental or nothing at all (I need to minimize distractions while I work or I find I can’t concentrate on the task at hand, particularly when the task is fairly complicated, e.g., serials cataloging). However, I also use the music to drown out some of the more… graphic sounds coming from close proximity to my desk, which I find more distracting (and frankly, disturbing) than anything in my iTunes library. For that purpose, funk works pretty well. Upbeat, repetitive, with lyrics that don’t require a lot of attention.

That’s all I have right now, and I’m afraid I’ve already said too much…
