Monkeys

Does a monkey go to hell for pleasuring himself?
If you believe that, you’ll believe this as well
They used to call the faithful with a bell
To tell them they had forgiveness to sell
How many angels can you dance with on a pin?
They would argue this point until all their ships came in
They could not hear the truth above the din
No, they could not hear the sense above the din
“I’m afraid of the devil” Joni told us in a song
But if you’re not afraid then you could come along
Just don’t go there alone
Just don’t leave her alone
Now Satan was the original individual
He was fighting for his freedom, built his own merry hell
That’s the story they tell
That’s the story they tell
You couldn’t sleep so I didn’t sleep
There’s a skull in that fishtank and he’s baring his teeth
And he’s staring at me
And he’s staring at me
I don’t know if it’s worry, if it’s the fear of the big sleep
Or if our eyes are open wide because we’re in too deep
Hear the noise in the street
Hear the noise in the street
You’ll have to pay the boatman though you don’t want to go
If you don’t pay the ferry toll you’ll stay in the shadows
Even then you’ll pay the man
Even then you’ll pay the man
Even then you’ll pay the man
Even then you’ll pay the man

Noisy Shoes

Are you left betrayed by what they now say
About promises they made in their younger days?
When you reach out you wound
Scissor hands and noisy shoes
Will it end up just being you?
Just you
Just you
Savage in a brave new world
Try to tell them to be free
As free as your mind will allow you to be
They will not listen
They do not know how
You will not listen
You do not know how

Jamie Flett Glasgow
Music maker from Aberdeen in the North East of Scotland, now living in Glasgow.
Since my first collection of skewed,
folkish blues songs: ‘Cold But Bright’ I’ve tried to resist the artificial limitations of defining myself as a ‘singer-songwriter’ (admittedly, while writing and singing songs.) This has resulted in attempts to investigate some remoter sonic territories.. As well as more songs.
