Bleat Beep (acoustic version)

from Dead Man Circling by Naevus

lyrics

The roaring in your mind roars on
The pennies in your pocket have gone
The sense of well-being that your system neglected
Alights instead upon a distance, well-protected

What do you see in an instant?
Images of bodies that your mind kept
What did you feel when your nerve went?
Actions that remained unrepentantly repentant

Bleat, beep

What did you cut out from behind the glass?
Nothing, of course

You go out to the old mine shaft
At Cemetery Tropicana
You look up and it all ends suddenly at the sky

What is it that defies revision?
Words and a simple movement
What was it that you heard behind Joy Division?
Just a simple movement
A simple, human movement

Bleat, beep

I first heard of IGR from his appearance on Faun's live CD from the 2007 Pagan Folk Festival tour. This is simple yet symbolic, sweet- sounding and quite sincere. And likely the only pentagram-shaped record I'm likely to see...a great-looking item with the pictures and fabric bag! Scott
