Edison's Memos

Taken from "Choreographed Man Of War" 2001

"How many reach out to see
I'll hide it
And I stow it all away
You reach out to me
In a moment
Sustain
But I wanted to reach you
Elected to greet you now
Did you know?

This strange one gathers the sea
A harvest of clean thinking
What does she get
She owes it to me
At the moment
It explodes
Like an army on horses
Original forces, now

Whether or not you see them move
Distance discovers patterns
Coming up close but far away
But known to crush and crumble schools
We're new discovery channel's fools
Who burst in flames
Who cancel out
Who phase out

Under skies dark with alienation
We exchange love like radiation
Under skies dard with alienation
We exchange love like radiation

How many reach out to see
I'll hide it and
I'll stow it all away
You reach out to me in a moment
Sustain
But I wanted to reach you
But elected to greet you"

A Pollard classic. Such a great melody that again sounds exciting but sad and longing at the same time and some fantastic lyrics and singing. Great guitar part also. Top notch song.

Hound Has The Advantage

Taken from "We've Moved" 2008

Lyrics Unknown

Bob making trumpet noises? A typical Psycho and the Birds track. You have to be in the correct mind set to listen to Psycho and the Birds. Its rough ideas of songs. Some of the added instrumentation is interesting but the lyrics and melodies are just off the fly and border on mumbled madmens ramblings.

Impossible Octopus

Taken from "You Satisfy Me"

No lyrics

You Satisfy Me played backwards. I always used to enjoy the Stone Roses backwards songs as it sounded like new songs. This is just a gimmicky filler. Played the right way round its a great song.

Break My Leg

Taken from "Sgt.Disco" 2007

"Take me to the sun
And break my leg

Don’t expose the kind of thing
The timeless thing
The mindless thing

Look at me I’m still not out of bed
Your memory will soon betray
Your situation baby
Your memory of summer fades away

I want some

You wear the upper hand on me"

A song where Bob sounds very much like Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam. A very downbeat song which gets darker and darker and more spooky. This song would probably scare small children.
