lyrics
Hide yourself away and leave my deeds undone
God has left me here alone to shield you gently from the sun
But for the old man who screams in my nightmares,
I decided long ago my garden couldn’t bleed without you
And the intrusion of years in this lucky place –
they want me but they leave you alone
Nothing becomes you like the ageless ingenue,
but here, in her absence I will dig a fine escape for you
Even the avalanche that tears through your mind
grows colder, still colder, colder with time
Lay those heirlooms down –
they’ve crowded this occasion with time
And the gaslight from antique lamp bellies
can’t mend the evil dissection of mine
Each of these exquisite games I cede to you now
Watch the ballet of souls balancing fear beyond you –
and in your lover’s arms, teach her my lucky charms
I’ll watch you while you’re turning to stone
Nothing becomes you like the ageless ingenue,
but here, in her absence I will dig a fine escape for you
Even the avalanche that tears through your mind
grows colder, still colder, colder with time
God has left me here alone to shield you gently from the sun
But for the old man who screams in my nightmares,
I decided long ago my garden couldn’t bleed without you
And the intrusion of years in this lucky place –
they want me but they leave you alone
Nothing becomes you like the ageless ingenue,
but here, in her absence I will dig a fine escape for you
Even the avalanche that tears through your mind
grows colder, still colder, colder with time
Lay those heirlooms down –
they’ve crowded this occasion with time
And the gaslight from antique lamp bellies
can’t mend the evil dissection of mine
Each of these exquisite games I cede to you now
Watch the ballet of souls balancing fear beyond you –
and in your lover’s arms, teach her my lucky charms
I’ll watch you while you’re turning to stone
Nothing becomes you like the ageless ingenue,
but here, in her absence I will dig a fine escape for you
Even the avalanche that tears through your mind
grows colder, still colder, colder with time

A very difficult album to categorize, it spans genre; or perhaps ignores is a better description. In general one could call it avantprogfusion with occasional dives into the quasi-classical.While he doesn't sound at all like Zappa, I can't help but feel Zappa is his spiritual godfather. This is VERY good.

Another gem of rock history for half the price, thanks to a "Cuneiform" promotional offer. Phil Miller has left his glow-in-the dark footsteps forever as one of the sculptors of the "Canterbury" sound, while being a member of "Matching Mole", "Hatfield and the North", and "National Health". He always was more on the "fusion track" of "Canterbury", and fusion is what he did later. My favorite tracks are those three he plays alone using a lot of MIDI guitar. Great fretless bass on the other ones!
