Twenty four hours a day
Listen to me, I have nothing to say,
but give me time to say it
We want your minds

Form an orderly queue,
don't shuffle in line.
Keep your hands where we can see them,
down by design.
Curry the scapegoat,
wash on a whim.
Whoever's left standing,
we'll trust him.
Getting out of bed
puts such a strain on things,
a garden wife / a garden life,
the consequence of meaning.
One day at a time,
Sweet Jesus, the sublime.
If you only knew what I do.
I had to come,
'cos I had to find out,
a spit and a snarl,
and a lingering doubt.

Cold meat,
scratching your skin.
I'm a fly on your wall,
let me in.
Hairs in the plughole,
grease on your chin.
I'm a fly on your wall,
let me in.

This room is 10 foot long by 15 wide.
There's room for you and me inside.
My friend lives in an adjacent street.
My room is higher than his, by 2 feet.

Sun, sea, sand and bathroom suites,

I know the value of sport,

Picnic table for the car,
attic into bed-sit room,
ideas from other people's homes,
scatter-cushions strewn.

Big Block 454 Hebden Bridge, UK
Since the late 80s, Big Block 454 has been making exploratory, highly individual music that encompasses rock, funk,
electronica, folk music, Dadaist collage and much more besides.
Each band member is a multi-instrumentalist, but Big Block 454’s approach also encompasses the creation of sound on instruments they don’t know how to play, and those that hadn’t been invented before the band made them.
