about

Not everyone was affected by the nightmare machine. An older lady in particular, living in the deep swamps of Greater Manchester was immune to the influence of the Byrdies. She could remember the old times. Her name was "Thin Swamp Crusta Bitty". It was a pseudonym of course and she had a plan.

lyrics

practice living today
keep the monkey brains at bay
empathy, feeling kind
practice whole living baby eat your mind
practice witchcraft and voodoo spells
lighting candles, ringing bells
practice in a church or in your garage
look at them shine!
look at them shine!

if it makes sense to the cat
naked all day in the flat
on the football pitch with Dick and Jane
listen to yourself try to explain
arms and legs fight in vain
you found the shuttlecock
you're insane
an ever growing body of make-believe
doctor drain
arbitrary socialised anatomy
I shouldn't complain
population evasiveness
conformity

invented tastes from far at sea
from far away remember me
remember to practice in your head
like all the Pharaohs did
at least that's what they claim
in the books and magazine
that I have subscriptions to
in greater Manchester
though I can't afford to renew

they just keep rendering me
they just keep remembering me
they just keep reminding me
I don't know what to say
they keep coming to the door
are you alright?
are you OK?

practice whole living eat your mind
I'm not that hungry
maybe another time
practice whole living eat your mind
I'm not that hungry
I'm not that hungry

I'm remembering
I'm remembering
