I know how it works...
secret wizard of the night with cosmic power
his pointy hat is shining bright
as he raises his arms at the witching hour

he is the secret wizard of time
his hands up into then
he is the wizard of time
he knows the roads

high on a hill with mystical precision
the moon is high above
high on a hill with unbelievable intention
lightning crackles as he reaches out for the secret of eternal love


how he's the wizard of time
he knows the way
for he's the wizard of time
what more can you say

he holds the key to the universe
he read the secret books
he's well-learned in mystical verse
he knows where to look

he is the wizard of time
he knows the way
and he is the wizard of time
what more can you say

up in the library with his many books on magical ways
he is the wizard of time well-versed in magical lore
a normal man's mind could not cope with what he's seen
nor what he still had yet hadn't saw

Wizard Lord of Time

April Fool

when you were here before
i couldn't look you in the eye
you were just like an angel
how your skin made me cry
you float just like a feather
in a beautiful world
i wish i was special
you're so fucking special
but i'm just a creep
i'm just some bleeding weirdo
what the hell am i doing here
i don't belong here
i don't care if it hurts
i wanna have control
i want a perfect body
how i want a perfect soul
i want you to notice
when i'm not around
you're so fucking special
how i wish i was special
but no
i'm just a bloody creep
some kind of motherfucking weirdo
what the hell am i doing here
i don't belong here
la la da da ta ta ta ta
[she's learning how to...]
run run run run run
la la da da ta ta ta ta
[she's learning how to...]
run run run run run
whatever makes you happy
whatever you want
well you're so fucking special
and how i wish i was special
but no
i am just a creep
i'm just a weirdo
and what the hell am i doing here
because i don't belong here
oh i don't belong here

Creep

In oblation to the great oblator, its immanent eminence and matchless light, this heliolatrous beast was wrought of popular SOL-fa syllables, 'So' (a needle pulling thread), 'La' (a note to follow So) and, of course, 'Re' (a drop of golden sunshine if you please).
 
Official mandatory regulations recommend wearing shades during So-La-Re exposure (on your ears ideally).


oh how i love the sunshine 
shining in my eyes
oh how i love the sunshine 
beaming down from the skies
how i love the warmth it gives
shining on my face
as i sit in worship
in some sunny place
oh how i love the light it gives
lighting up my life
if it were a woman
it would be my wife
oh how i love the sunshine 
shining in my eyes
oh how i love the sunshine 
beaming down from the skies
oh how i love the sunshine 
shining in my eyes
oh how i love the sunshine 
beaming down from the skies
how i love the shadows it creates
darkening the ground
oh how i love the sunshine 
it's just so big and hot and round
so big and hot and round
so big and hot and round
shadows on the ground
I think the sun gets in my eyes
oh how i love the sunshine 
shining in my eyes
oh how i love the sunshine 
beaming down from the skies
how i love the warmth it gives
shining on my face
as i sit in worship
in some sunny place
oh my sunshine
my sunshine
how i love my sunshine
sunshine sunshine
big and yellow and round
shining on the ground
giving heat and love and life
how i love the light it gives
lighting up my life
if it were a woman
then it would be my wife
Ah I love the sunshine

I travel a lonely path
unsure of my destination
I travel a lonely path
unsure where to find my salvation
on and on I go
lonely path
heading onward to meet my maker
on and on and on
lonely path
maybe get some help from the local fakir
but he's a charlatan
I can see it in his eyes
he's a nomal
human being celebration
jubilation from the skies
ah ha aha 
lonely path lonely path
I travel a lonely path
unsure just quite of where I'm going
I travel a lonely path
unsure of what I should be knowing
on and on I go




Lonely Path

I think my face is changing
my features becoming malformed
I think my eyes are rearranging themselves
and my mouth looking more and more forlorn
as my nose slides down
do you see the look in my eyes tonight
do you see the look behind my mask
do you see the look in the skies above me
do you see my faced as it dribbles away

a hey hey hey
hey hey a hey yah hey a hey yay

I think my body is changing
my legs are further from the ground
I think my arms are re-veining themselves
and my torso is harder to move around
as my chest slides down
do you see my face tonight a view all a-writhe
do you see my eyes as they wiggle and rearrange
do you see the change in my face tonight my love
change for you oh oh oh
oh I think my face is cha-a-a-anging
I think it's changing as I sing to you
change change just for you

My Face is Changing

I was born with only one arm
only one arm and one leg
little helpless baby
never done no one no harm
why why only one leg and only one arm
how do I remain so calm
when I've only got one arm
how with my single leg
can I put on such a brave brave face
only one leg and only one arm
why is it my right arm that's missing
when I'm right-handed
why is my right leg that's missing
when the left has a club foot
I've only got one arm
ain't never done nobody no harm
only one leg and only one arm
one arm and one leg

One Arm and One Leg

the road goes on to god knows where
and my feet march on but I don't care
on and on I go
marching on to god knows where
eventually I know that i'm gonna get there

the road is long and black and I trip on every crack
but there's no looking back
on and on we go to god knows where
the road is so stony and my legs are so bony
marching on to kingdom come
god knows where

on and on I go
marching on to chase my dreams
on and on I go
chasing after those hare-brained schemes
on and on forever never getting a sitdown
on and on through town after town
after a while they all look the same
on and on and on 
playing the same game
using whatever name I feel like using that day
as I walk on and on and on my way

on on I go and the road is long and winding
and the sun is hot and blinding
but those promises I made so long ago are still binding
and lately I am finding
that if I just keep minding my own business
then this is the way to go on
and on and on on and on

The Road Goes On

The River Keeps Flowing

Northage is one human, mostly me, but can sometimes be two or even three combined individuals, double or triple-headed with a compound eye and arms beyond count.

Musically I'll gush out any old blurt and blather and occasionally twang along on the ukulele. Melody's probably my strong suit but I'm better lyrically. I've managed several times to play guitar and may once, even twice, have tickled the plastics of a cheap Tandy keyboard left over from the '90s. Despite my favourite part of the day being the evening I don't restrict my musical activities to any particular time.

My debut album, recorded back in the '80s when I was twelve, was made by playing a 33rpm LP (Themes For Super Heroes by Geoff Love & His Orchestra - connoisseurs will know it) at 45rpm and 'singing', or at least shouting and wailing discordantly, over the top of it. It was indescribably terrible and a deaf gibbon with impaired motor functions couldn't have failed to come a long way since (I know from experience). I like rehashing songs in C, F, G, Am and Em because if it ain't broke that's handy as I'm not very good at fixing things.

Bye then.
