Cyclope l'Antenne Géante - Attentifs Et Anxieux

LYRICS BELOW (click "Show more")
When I wrote this duet, I had Amanda Sanderson's distinctively beautiful voice in mind. The song itself is an outgrowth or continuation of a poetry collection I published a few years ago, "The Book of Arabella."
Both the song and the poems are about a mysterious, otherworldly woman, Arabella, who feels trapped in a marriage, trapped in fact in her human body.
Here's a link to that poetry collection for the curious:

(...and yes, that is actually our cat in the photo on the big clock above the piano)
Instruments used:
All three guitar tracks played on my Gretsch 5622T
plus Fender (Squier) Jaguar SS bass
Angel chorus sung by angels...well, actually Alchemy synth

***Cat on a Clock***
(Words & music by Timothy Walsh)
Verse 1 (Him)
You come softly down the stairs into my waiting arms.
Hand you coffee, touch your hair…it seems that you’re not there.
I don’t say it but I know, on this special day,
your body’s here with me, but you’re a million miles away.
I don’t say it—I don’t want to tell no one—
You’re going nowhere but you’re always on the run.

Verse 2 (Arabella)
Morning comes, I stretch in bed, see the sun come through the blinds.
Hear you in the kitchen there, smell the coffee so divine.
I rub my eyes, decide if I can slide into this day,
or maybe spread my wings and softly fly away.
I don’t know why I’m so restless in this world.
It’s like I’m from some country where I can’t return.

CHORUS:
You’re like a cat upon a clock sleeping in the sun,
whiling away your time on earth until our day is done.
Just like a cat upon a clock dreaming through the day
while the world outside goes on and softly spins away.

Verse 3 (Him)
Twilight comes and I see you in the garden where
the cedars and the pines are your sisters in the sky.
You walk out among the herbs, barefoot on the bricks,
smell the chervil and the thyme that never ask you why.
You’re so lost to me I don’t know what I’ll do.
I’m so in love with every single thing you do.

Verse 4 (Arabella)
Some days I wish that I could go flying through the sky—
spread my wings just like a crow and take off with a sigh.
Somewhere beyond the moon, I think I’ll find my home,
far away from this earth and this house of flesh and bone.
I’m not angry, I just don’t know how to say
I’m a creature not like you in any way.

CHORUS (sung twice)

The lyrics goeth thusly:

Dogmatist insistence, compromise persistence
Poisonous necessities, extinction resistance
Merry Gerry-pandering, oblique meandering
Moments of clarity, hipsterous dexterity
Contraphobic sanity, Ponderous calamity
Peripheral profanity, Stat-packed insanity
Throwaway connectiveness, ultra-bright defectiveness
Nominated reprobate, virtuous advocate

Deceptive conformity, emotional deformity
Factual ambiguity, intellectual nudity 
Off the shelf pomposity, counterfeited prudity
Border-line depravity, empathetic cavity
Hand-wrung gesturing, half-baked posturing
Blame game moronity, stupefied stubbornity
Blinkered conformity, dubious patternity

They’re laughing at you 

Wall to wall stupidity, stupefied community
Working, working tirelessly, optimist futility 
Easy sell simplicity, smugnorant complicity
Manipulated ignorance, proudly flaunted bigot-trance 
Cheer the nicely spoken thief, Kick the gift horse in the teeth, 

They’re laughing at you, because you want it to be true

Minus 273.15 degrees - chillin' out with..... (excerpt)

Absolute Zero I (excerpt)(remaster)

Your whole life - a social media horror show
I've seen things that I really don't want to know
In your face!  Like a wet t-shirt competition
Trying to resist but I can't help from looking

CHORUS
And I'm staying quiet
Over you

Take a pic and post it with preamble
You don't look good from any type of angle
All fake smiles but secret poison pen letters
Shut your mouth and respect your betters

CHORUS

Shrug my shoulders - I assure you  that I don't care
The type of thing that I wouldn't take anywhere
Its all on show like a wet t-shirt competition
Trying to resist but I can't help from looking

CHORUS

Wet T-Shirt Competition

Whoa Don
Where have you gone?

In the back room
Of a new salon?
All the dancers
Are woebegone
Help them find dance music
In the great beyond
Whoa Don
Yeah get it on
Baby shake those cakes
Easy bake

Mr. Cornelius
Can’t you see our need for you is serious?
Pick a song and send the dance delirious
Don’t you know you are so
Dear to us
Oh Don Cornelius
Mister hip luxurious
Damn she moves like a snake
Slow motion heartbreak

Here comes the train
Had no idea you were in pain
Should have made our love for you
Much more plain
While you were still
In the frame
Riding the train
Mister Soul champaign
Mister Soul Champaign

Oh look at those shoes
She is the news

Where have you gone?
In the back room
Of a new salon?
All the dancers
Are woebegone
Help them find dance music
In the great beyond
Whoa Don
Yeah get it on
