Lyrics: Mrs Magic to and fro, Please give me one last show, Loosen my mind from within, Before it starts to wear and thin
I don't know, I don't know what I’m doing here I don't know, I don't know what I’m doing here
Mrs Magic radio, Give me one last chance to show, Tell you what lurks deep inside, Deep inside my battered mind
I don't know, I don't know what I’m doing here I don't know, I don't know what I’m doing here
Leaving me outside, No I can’t get back in, No I can’t get back in x2

Lyrics Think on it now Do you recall a thing? Under a spell I gave chase til I fell And you were out of it Oh you were passing out
But something was there Something that led me to right here Hope upon hope Won’t lead it back again
You have got yours And I’ve got mine Which parts to share Get lost
Well you can keep yours And I’m keeping mine for myself
And something was there Something that led me to right here Hope upon hope Won’t lead it back again
Think on it now I see it all You with your eyes firmly closed At it alone I call a guide For all the enchanted parts of this life
And if you think of me at all Just let it wash over you
And something was there Something that led me to right here Hope upon hope Won’t lead it back againBog Shed - Fastest Legs (John Peel Session) - Official AudioMelodic Records2022-11-16 | Taken from 'Tried & Tested Public Speaker', the collected Bog Shed John Peel Sessions.

Lyrics A body curled around a lamppost like a cigarette in light rain. Something like a question mark is hanging between thumb and forefinger. Alan Turing, give up the apple, Alan Turing, give up the apple. Head down, my love.
A body curled around a lamppost like a cigarette in light rain. Something like a question mark is hanging between thumb and forefinger. Friedrich Engels, wipe off your boots, man. Friedrich Engels, wipe off your boots. Don’t you think the sky looks particularly anaesthetised this evening?
Daddy, why is there a man asleep there? Should I wake him? Daddy, why is there a man asleep there? Should I wake him up? Victoria, covered in birds. Victoria, covered in bird shit. Head down, my love.
I walk around the public parks, The princess is visiting. And lining all the streets are Glimpses of her sequined crown.
All the while, dog whistle. Yeah, butter birds, new metal. And the gutter’s full of fire now. Yeah, change, change, the fire’s out.
A bear stuck on a zip wire. And doesn’t he look amiable? Just hanging in the atmosphere, As the dust cloud settles. As the dust cloud settles. ______________________________________ Follow us on Social Media: Twitter: twitter.com/melodicrecords Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melodicreco...

Lyrics I play God, I play God and make pretend A world of faceless, dank disgraces from way back when. It gets dark then it gets stark, a lark descends On a hillside with a flat-tyre hopelessness.
Bring it up.
I’m a clown, now I’m profound, I’m kinged again. A hollow crown hangs upside down and I’m kinged again. I play God, oh good God I’m here again. Well, all in a day’s rent, who will we hate next? Something bad, something good, Shall I talk about the government?
Bring it up. Get it gone. Bring it up.
The right brain gives the left brain, The left brain gives it up, And we’re good, we’re good, we’re good ‘til morning.

Mr P and his three-faced embassy Walk hand in hand to a human parliament, Chanting, ‘we got qualms with the rich, qualms with the ill, qualms with the poor.’ Chanting, ‘we got qualms with the young, qualms with the old, qualms with the poor.’
To murmured agreement.
The house sat, struck still, In silent attentive frenzy until:
‘Throw your arms,’ he says, ‘up in an ecstasy. And dance, white men, dance and repeat after me: It’s now law that: one equals two, One equals three, one equals four. Now you’re getting it! Praise unto me and let it be seen, I am your Lord.’
‘But what do we call you?’ Came the voice of the interlocutor.
‘One, one, one, one call me Inspiration!’
Inspiration! Praise the name. Inspiration! You came again.
Mr P’s six hundred and fifty-three faced embassy Dance, dance, dance up to the edge of the sea.
‘To hurl yourself,’ he proclaims, ‘off the promontory, Is to take my name in a meaningful reverie.’ A dissenter shouts, ‘wait a second. We’re not the young, we’re not the old, we’re not the poor. Anyway, my arm’s getting sore. One, two, three, four let’s all go home.’ Mr P was left alone.
‘Say what? Come again. Say what? Come again. Say what? Come again. I’m Inspiration. But I came again. But I came again. But I came again. No one want some inspiration?’
Mr P is left stranded on a coastal jut of white rock, With Jesus, Zeus and a handful of sun gods, Waiting, watching as the tide rolls in.
Going down into culture, drowning in and under all the culture Going down, going down, into the sea, drowning in all this eternity.
If the earth feels small, throw yourself from a high wall And watch as the ground grows tall.
‘We’re dropping like flies, what’s the plan? Look up boys, see what we could’ve won.’
As we live, so we die, give it time. Take the coins off your eyes, none survive. Men are words, lives are lines, allay a life. As we live as we die, no one needs us to survive. As we live so we die, no one needs us to survive. Take the coins off your eyes, no one needs us to survive. Men are words, lives are lines, no one needs us to survive. And we live then we die, no one needs us to survive.
Inspiration! Praise the name. Inspiration! You came again. Inspiration! Praise the name. Inspiration! Don’t come again.

At all, I mean it means nothing when it’s at home. But I’m sure, I mean well I’m hoping, it’s the thing tomorrow’s waiting for. What’s more, There is a new car now that’s also a phone, a wife, a credit card. And so, Vivir es esperar, I know, but how long’s now for?
Nothing is, nothing is good and, yes, everything’s fine. Building a wall of things, Up on my wall I will see time.
Morning, come fall in, yes come fall in And start walking, now stop talking, Start working, keep working And start talking, stop talking, Start working, keep working, Keep working, now stop working. Good evening. Is it boring or appalling?
Stay away, now’s too soon, If God is a verb I am unmoved. Faraway, nearby, hesitating, Tomorrow’s the only road.
It wakes me up. It saves me up. It makes me up. It takes me up.
Time to get away, It’s time to get away, Time to go or time will get away. It’s time to get away, Maybe though I’ll save it For another morning.
Start walking, keep walking and stop walking, Now start talking, keep talking, I’m talking and you’re talking, we are talking. Start laughing, keep laughing, I am laughing, you are laughing, now stop laughing. Is it boring or appalling?

While I lie tonight, wide awake, In a dream about that happy day, When these four walls show me more Than my name and age And there’s a knock on every door And every door is always opening. For a bright youth, an opening.
All that I was and all that I said, Went from a spring to a restless sea Inside your resting head. When I’m old and mad as King George. When memories have all but decimated All the colonies of my thoughts. I will wear a black bin bag, And for my shoes, the leaves of ten-year-old news, I’m on the tube becoming online phenomena. An overnight phenomenon.
I’m wasteland drunk and my phone just died. I’ve got a sickly premonition I’ll get stuck in an 80s sitcom Called High Life, no High Time. The ashtrays are full and ‘there’s one dance left!’ calls the mime. Who’s this poet-prophet-priestess Playing the part of a phoney-artist-stuck-out-of-time? I distract myself, unwind.
I do less, distract myself, unwind. Take a second guess, distract myself, unwind.

Gather en masse in town, Taking one vow in the rhythm of a crowd sound, Freedom on the bus back home. Do I want to go?
Millions of war-lit palms, Swipe up in alarm, share it and disarm. But I don’t know who I would show, So do I want to know?
Want. I want, I want no more. Want. I don’t want anymore, anymore. Want.
First thought, best thought. First thought, look it up. First thought, best thought, look it up.
Did you know, do you know, Before it was a play it was a poem on the road With a Nina Simone, the then Pope? The seventh, I believe.
God knows, Google knows. Moses wrote in lines of code On a tablet in the Silicon Valley. Didn’t he go crazy, live on the TV And murder his own algorithm?

My face, what’s happening to my face? Tell me, did the wind change? Will I ever look the same again?
(Frame)
I’m late and running for the last train approaching, Hoping that I’m insane. Are we now going out live, James?
OK, is everybody OK? Everyone is doing great. One scene and we’ll break for tea and cake.
(Make up please.)
New theme, now I really liked that last thing, But could we maybe try a little more me? If you know what I mean please, Stephanie? I got a vision. Stephanie, I got a vision.
(Scene)
You dressed in white, with your eyes so sheer. I got a vision, I got a real vision. Twilight outside, desk lit like a still life in arrears. I got a vision, I got a real vision.
And we share one glass of wine, still full, Despite all we’ve put away. And it’s so well paced, All the right things in all the right places. And you take off all my clothes Like you’ve been doing this take all day. I got a vision, I got a real vision.
Fade on a pan left to the white dress, To a grey-red head on full breast. Am I too Herman Hesse here? Too John Wayne-esque now? No middle-brow, tasteless cowardice allowed now.
You dressed in white with your eyes so sheer. I got a vision, I got a real vision. Twilight outside, and it’s all so near. I got a vision, I got a real vision.
Face-filled train, the final shot, So well-paced, all the right things in all the right places. Payment plan for the Pentecost, Long lost name, in the making of… _______________________________________

Lyrics People watch other people, say, ‘look, People think too much.’ People talk about people too much, say, ‘look, People don’t know enough.’ People talk your life away And people run, rabbit, run, run, run.
Simple facts are antipatico, As simpatico people I know know. Simple facts are antipatico, you know, As simpatico people I know know well. Everybody’s looking for something. Everybody’s looking for something to lean on.
Am I alone? Am I alone here? Am I on my own? Am I alone here? Is it me? Is it us? I want to be remembered.
In the bulging moment, Tilting towards ephemeral chance. Pregnant with the future, Impregnated by the past.

Lyrics: Sometimes Find it hard to reiterate What’s Right No balance In obligation Rhetoric Feeble Thy must fail to fail
Be happy when the sun shines But when it’s too bright don’t close your eyes Be happy when the sun rains Let it bring you shame
You know you should do the same When the bad blood tastes the same You know you should do the same when the bad blood tastes the same
Be happy when the sun shines But when it’s too bright don’t close your eyes Be happy when the sun rains Let it bring you shame
You know you should do the same When the bad blood tastes the same You know you should do the same when the bad blood tastes the same
Be happy when the sun shines But when it’s too bright don’t close your eyes Be happy when the sun rains Let it bring you shame, shameW. H.
