Warm water, cold milk
I name this child Acker Bilk
No food, no fun,
I want a knife to butter my bun
A King screams at a burning sun
“Give me a knife to butter my bun !”

Eating soap alone

Did it ever happen?
Did it ever happen?
Eating soap alone,
Seated / overthrown
We cut off The Ear of The King
Did it ever happen?
Did it ever happen?
Mechanically penned,
You are dreaming my friend
The spoon is for eating…

Canned food in combat

Don’t use the saw to cut the straw
A metaphor for nothing
Discarded claw by the seashore
The showman swore at nothing
The creaking door that you ignore
A promisor of nothing

Nothing was ever as it seemed
No-one was to blame
I was just about to yodel but I forgot my name
Bare hat and brain
I may have to wash my hands again
Such an accident is rare
Some men always laugh
I plotted his trajectory upon a graph
Bare hat and brain
I may have to wash my hands again
Stay in the shallow water
Don’t forget your comb
Is there a vacant bathing hut?
I wish I was at home

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.
