Metallurgist

I am giving you this ring that I made my very self
You can see just what it means in the metal I did melt
That’s for real that’s for earnest I am your metallurgist
My physique is Hephaestian like casting in the sand
My legs are like steel girders my arms like iron bands
At the forge and at the furnace I am your metallurgist
All my inventions the hinge the blade the screw
Rods of every length and description
Tools that turn out other tools that turn out other tools
I make newmade world I make newmade world
See the new world that I’m making all from the living fire
Wealth brought to fruition by the warmth of my desire
High on a mountain monument in Birmingham
In my left hand a hammer a spear in my right hand
See my will see my courage I am your metallurgist
I will cater and I will furnish I am your metallurgist
At your call and at your service I am your metallurgist
I am your metallurgist I am your metallurgist I am your metallurgist

Dead Man’s Boots

Well they sent out a letter saying young man you bitter better
Signup for the draft in the land of the free
And from a hat they pulled a number see who goes out to the jungle
To hunt and kill the wild and bloody VC
My boots they are a dead man’s boots they don’t belong to me
They been gone down in poison and in fire
USA rose to the bait rescue the king of Kuwait
Desert Shield morphed into Desert Storm
And Tim McVeigh took as his mission to wipe out the little children
Ammonium nitrate never made it to the farm
My boots they are &c.
When the twin towers tumbled and the Pentagon crumbled
Take out the wild and the bloody Taliban
And though he had nothing to do with it let’s just go a pay a visit
To hunt and kill the wicked rascal Saddam
You and I stand here wearing dead men’s boots we both just wait and see
It all go down in poison and in fire

Newfound Love

Drenched in monochrome shimmering asterisk
Purple sidewalk wild purple traffic light uh-huh
Down at the corner of Monroe and Piedmont
There stands a pawnshop where there once was a restaurant where
Newfound love finds newmade world newfound love finds newmade world
I know you’re seeing this the way I see you
Newfound love finds newmade world
The air is shaking the ground is shaking
My hands are shaking and my heart is shaking ‘cause
Newfound love &c.
Why don’t we pass into the realm of forgetfulness
Why don’t we pass into the realm of pure nothingness
Newfound love &c.
The tiny mirrors on your clothing excite me
The tiny mirrors in your eyes delight
Newfound love &c.
