lyrics
NO FAIR TOUCHING
I'm just the boy in the box
made of building blocks
I've erected over top of my head
nobody needs anybody's touch when they
have four walls and a ceiling
and I might not be leaving
attention tacked to the
plans of the perennial bored
weary and hung up accordingly
by the ropes
potent dope that they peddle
posies, peace and love in revel
most yearning dreams will wither
on a winter's day
discontent takes the hope and fun away
every cloud is a storm gilded in grey
dig running with the rabble
in rusty land
as they worry from the quarry to quay
it's always clear
that they're leering with lust by how
cavalierly they cavil
and you won't need to
ravel the tangles out
with your spinal cord
revealed the floor
devils don't need any bodies
to rub out
when the doubt does the doing
from the nerve their eschewing
most yearning dreams will wither
on a winter's day
discontent takes the hope and fun away
every cloud is a storm gilded in grey
I'm just the boy in the box
made of building blocks
I've erected over top of my head
nobody needs anybody's love when they
have a fantasy their clutching
and it's no fair touching

Jimmy Ether - Vocals and Archtop. Lyrics and tune. Aurally Chronicled live to audio and video.
Soothing vocals to sporadic, angular, beats & warm synth tones. Great melody & harmony. Just experimental enough, but accessible. Think Bjork meets Broadcast. Check out the "Chase No Face" video, too. Jimmy Ether
