today i
said goodbye
to my conflicted goddess
her lush eyes
show surprise
at how we could gather knowledge the painting has a dream
where shadow breaks the scene
and the colors run off
blue is bashful
green is my goal
yellow girls are running backwards
until the nextime
with six hits of sunshine
the lights will blind up with blues in haiku
the shadow has a dream
where painters look to sea
the colors burn out
now i know where
i once saw you
stepping into muddy water
john’s reflection
decried perfection
now you walk him through the gardren
waiting in the wings
painters shade their dreams
with falling colors
see me wave good
bye forever
happiness the goddess lover
hurry back re
member last time
the hits of sunshine
the hits of goldmine
i’ll see you back tonite
where painters love the light
and yellow shadow girls
today i
say goodbye
to my complicious goddess
her hushed eyes
show surprise
and how we captured knowledge
i’ll see you back tonite
where shadows dream of light
let’s slip on outside

exquisite song!

one time i was looking for a model to be on a belle and sebastian single sleeve. i asked catherine. she agreed to be handcuffed to railings near my house for the white collar boy single.

we borrowed the manacles from the bbc prop department. rebus, i think it was. we had the key, i tried it, and it worked ok! of course, as soon as we locked catherine to the fence near the river, we couldn’t get her out. the cuffs got tighter, the wind blew colder, and the poor girl started to look a bit faint.

we had to call the fire brigade. six of them turned up, really fast! plus two coppers! i think they liked the idea of a maiden in distress. they gave me a lot of dirty looks.

“don’t tell them we’re doing this for a band or anything,” i whispered to my wife, who was helping with the pictures.

a burly policemen walked up. “hello, officer!” i burbled. “sorry about this.”

“you’re in belle and sebastian, aren’t you?” he said, as though he were mentally adding that to the list of crimes.

siggimus, for one, is starting to get a bit excited about this ultimate girl group
