lyrics
In the aftermath of chance, I found it there
It was soiled with coffee, crumpled lightly,
black X through my hair
And jaded for a moment by your cavalier despair
I tear down
Oh like the lover gently dented in you room,
I’m shivering like an addict, resurfacing too soon
Sedated by the angles and the phases of the moon
I tear down
So, this is how you relocate me
‘One in a Million’ – ‘til luck he brings you down
Scenes, unfolding like a movie,
one that I’ve already seen
passing through town
Oh will you scream and roll me over when I’m dead?
In the raging afternoon, I’ll tumble from your bed
and even though we won’t remember what it was we said
I tear down
So, this is how you relocate me
‘One in a Million’ – ‘til luck he brings you down
Scenes, unfolding like a movie,
one that I’ve already seen
passing through town
Oh and the lines change in your hand
Never thought I’d follow you to this stage of desire
And the keyholes and the keyholes
the keyholes that I never closed the keyholes
the keyholes of my hearing go, my hearing goes
When life becomes art, the imitation’s clear
Oh darling, your interior is getting far too near
So all alone, once again, I pass you to your years,
Tear you down
It was soiled with coffee, crumpled lightly,
black X through my hair
And jaded for a moment by your cavalier despair
I tear down
Oh like the lover gently dented in you room,
I’m shivering like an addict, resurfacing too soon
Sedated by the angles and the phases of the moon
I tear down
So, this is how you relocate me
‘One in a Million’ – ‘til luck he brings you down
Scenes, unfolding like a movie,
one that I’ve already seen
passing through town
Oh will you scream and roll me over when I’m dead?
In the raging afternoon, I’ll tumble from your bed
and even though we won’t remember what it was we said
I tear down
So, this is how you relocate me
‘One in a Million’ – ‘til luck he brings you down
Scenes, unfolding like a movie,
one that I’ve already seen
passing through town
Oh and the lines change in your hand
Never thought I’d follow you to this stage of desire
And the keyholes and the keyholes
the keyholes that I never closed the keyholes
the keyholes of my hearing go, my hearing goes
When life becomes art, the imitation’s clear
Oh darling, your interior is getting far too near
So all alone, once again, I pass you to your years,
Tear you down

Masterpiece of Crossover prog. It blends perfectly Chamber pop, Folk Rock, Neoclassical music and Progressive Rock. A flawless record

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!
