Minack theatre
All this, all finery, all fade in time.
The stage remains, acts continue,
time crashes its wings.
All this, all finery, all fey will play out.
Nature weighs reward with task,
waves still wreck thrones.
Cut cold stone with a warm heart,
replenish seas with a tear.
Force of will, act of love.
All this, all finery, force of will, act of love.
Our bodies' costume jewellery.
Ocean-kiss her sweet lines.
Cut cold stone with a warm heart,
replenish seas with a tear.
Force of will, act of love.
Force of will, act of love.
Force of will, act of love.

Sweet Enough?

sweet enough?
Sometimes people are revolting.
Must cut a short in sixty-thousand volt bad thoughts.
Sometimes people are colliding,
where offal, greed and grief unwittingly meet.
Am I not sweet enough for you?
Am I not sweet enough for you?
Sometimes people are disturbing.
Natural disaster-bent, primed to explode.
Sometimes people are dividing.
Breaking apart, breaking it all apart, cracking in half, rip, split, and course through the heart.
Am I not sweet enough for you?
Am I not sweet as sweet can be?
Am I not sweet enough for you?
Sweet as the sweetest little tear.
My gooseberry heart bristles
when bitter beer hits my quinine tongue.
My estate, (my wasteland) my undergrowth.
Is it not sweet enough in song?
Am I not sweet enough for you?
Am I not sweet as sweet can be?
Am I not sweet enough for you?
Sweet as the sweetest little tear.

Build you a song
Build you a song
from star, wood, brick, firmament.
Build you a song
from moon, paper, string and sleep.
From star, wood, brick, firmament.
From star, wood, brick, firmament.
Pluck you a mood
from gathered early empty streets.
Find you a tune
for poppies broken in the wind.
From star, wood, brick, firmament.
From star, wood, brick, firmament.
Give a heartbeat
to love that can always live again.
It built me a song
from star, wood, brick, firmament.
From star, wood, brick, firmament.
From star, wood, brick, firmament.

Long live the Post Romantic Empire
Go in under leaves in opulent
dawn. In
mulched Autumn undergrowth. Reign over.
Long live The Empire,
writ in water, heaven thrown.
Long live The Empire,
A daffodil will jewel its throne.
Long live The Empire,
Swift and swallow overhead.
Long live The Empire,
The Empire is dead.

We Wait For Them

we wait for them
Our bodies forged.
Steel muscles locked.
Head to head.
Our emotions blocked.
All nerves taut.
Our eyes transfixed.
Hand to hand.
To the end.
They will come – we wait for them.
They will come – we wait for them.

On the ocean I floundered, yet set adrift I evolved. In my mind I journeyed. Both boats tacked a similar course.
My foolishness was bundled – hope stored fore, reality aft. My desperation, tightly packed. My world unwrapped.
If I could sail home, and brave the storm, if I sail home forgive me. If I could sail home, and brave the storm, if I sail home forgive me.
For the things I've done, I now have ballast. For the things I thought I'd done, an equilibrium of sorts.
If I could sail home, and brave the storm, if I sail home forgive me. If I could sail home, and brave the storm, if I sail home forgive me.

We can all recreate the world,
be back before the spring-sprout daffodils.
We can all re-navigate the world,
every day we twist truth through the thread of our eyes.
We can all reinvent the world,
circumvent science with sophistry's whirls.
We can all resist the world,
every day we toss truth through the lens of our desires.
Deep water breathes high standing waves,
wider than hope, lower than despair.
Deep water breathes high standing waves,
wider than hope, lower than despair.
I've evolved into a second generation. (being)
I'm conceived in the womb of Nature. (evolved)
In my own mind. This is underlined. (set)
Cast in the womb of the universe. (adrift)
Deep water breathes high standing waves,
wider than hope, lower than despair.
Deep water breathes high standing waves,
wider than hope, lower than despair.
It is finished. It is finished. It is the mercy.

Floating
He was lying in the road, pointing.
To the party up ahead, a shaky mpeg in the road showing as a modern Holbein of our own: The Driver.
He was lying in the road, over-shadowed.
He was floating in the ether.
He was floating down the road.
We were driving down the road, just chatting.
The driver got out his mobile phone, pointing.
He was lying on the road, bleeding.
He became a passing text that buzzed across the party's phones and lips, trembling.
He was floating in the ether.
He was floating down the road.
He was floating in the ether.
He was floating down the road.

Jack in the pulpit
I frogbit and arrowhead, you eyebright and teasel.
Me, Jack in the pulpit, your musk, your honeysuckle. You my purpling rose.
I, all bristly hound's tongue, grasp you yellow loosestrife. Me, Jack in the pulpit, woodruff and butterbur. Red dead-nettle to your blood-drop emlets.
Our vervain, our feverfew and tansy, our bindweed, or bittersweet. Our burnt orchid, our mountain-everlasting, gold of pleasure. Or petty spurge. Our self-heal. Our self-heal. Our self-heal.

There
When life rips strings apart in your heart.
When people disappoint, miss the point.
I will always be there for you.
I will always be there for you.
I will always be there for you.
Stand firm and trust yourself, love to live.
Experience is a pleasure to befriend, to heal, to tend you.
I will always be there for you.
I will always be there for you.
I will always be there for you.

Twins [remaster 2020]
by In The Nursery
supported by 7 fans who also own “Star Wood Brick Firmament (2010)”
#005/100! I'm sure I'll still throw on my old vinyl copy now & then, but it's good to have this high-quality remastered CD (the prints and tin are nice, too). I enjoy hearing the contrasts on this album -- early EBM-flavored songs like Huntdown and the title track, the martial beats of Workcorps, and hints of the future embodied by songs such as The Outsider. Twins is truly a classic album.

Fantastic to finally get your Exsolve, Caldera and Cartographer CD's to play on my really nice home audio system. Super powerful stuff. There is magic in your musical compositions. I love them on top of your 'From The Sea' as the only CD I have been able to listen properly for the last 12 years.. Need more CD access in Australia so I can also play all your music in the car. Excellent stuff.

Tender and gorgeous songs from this Brooklyn duo, “and then all over” is a striking, evocative work full of hushed beauty.

Magnificent analog synth from Orpheus with eerie vocoder melodies that give everything a sci-fi feel.
