BANG!

Farewell tour, Celine,
Farewell tour, Celine,
they think we’re wusses
fashionable page turners
shop and bop till you drop
Not all black and white
cream tease
from rags to richness,
Hermes
in the footsteps of the wise men
well chosen words, the gloves are on keep it simple, the walking wounded swinging in the rain
spiced up in Kerala
life, the universe and everything California dreaming, shaky foundations hide and seek
seeds of hope

Applausible
A week inside India’s media boom
early roles can cast a giant shadow
the English are appallingly confused
it’s the accessory stupid
retouched for the very first time
the investment biker
illustrious illustrator
gamble in the jungle
is cinema losing its grip?
Peer pressure
Dads army
the soviet sphere
on the love trampoline
in the mind’s island
the devil to pay
everything I make up has to be plausible
stage fright
vive le Roi du rock n roll
architect of the grand manner
cause celebre on Capitol Hill
new sounds for old
all astir in Paris
when perfection isn’t enough
lost in space in the suburbs.

In Byron’s footsteps
Under the influence the consensus on Europe is in freefall
public image versus private finance, the mother of invention
a question of sportswear, award winning fashion
an inside job in Las Vegas.
Full steam ahead, ruler of Britannia, engine of humanity
what lights beneath, droughts, deluges, and raging debates
spies like us, flights of fancy, nude dimensions
northern soul, infinite possibilities, a young person’s guide to the choir
Rothko’s homecoming, censors and sensibility
first nations fire warning shots, maple leaves on the line
art from the ashes.

Wandering Star
I never talk about my bad traits, glamour from a Gilda age
jewel personalities, London calling
mix and match of the day
beyond the beach, Switzerland without skis
the demolition man, unsteady odyssey street of shame
human capital every breath you take defensive
behaviour odd to ominous, not just another maestro
an artist finds his groove, folk of ages
avant-garde explosion, pay up, pay up and play the game
let the field of the mind fall fallow
please hang up and try again.
