Teri Toye Cherry Bomb

from OUR DESIRE LACKS KNOWING MUSIC by Alex Walton

/

lyrics

he walks down the street his head in his hands
knows all that occurs to best laid plans
he got a mission he won't see through
he'll drink himself to death if he can't look like you

teri toye gleams like a bottle of wine
she walks with her lanky velveteen shine
she's dressed like a rifle loaded with grace
what i would give just to see her face

the light comes out from under the door
and i know what its for
the light that shines from the tv screen
and i know what it means

in a show house basement all coated in grime
all posture appears metaphysically rhymed
just wanna say things beautiful and true
but no one here really gives a shit bout you

the light that blinds puts me on the floor
and i know what im lookin for
i saw her face in the magazine
and i made believe it was me

left halfway thru the hardcore show
just to get me some space
took a look in the mirror
couldnt see my own face
went down to the shoppin mall
just to buy me some threads
got killed in a knife fight
by some bored skinheads

sock it to me

miss my german car n laissez-faire attitude
miss any feeling of shame or graditude
miss the streets that i walked that burned into mist
im so done with ironic nihilists
