Everything Beautiful Is Far Away

For all the projects due
And no-one else is around
And the sprinklers that come on at 3am
Sound like crowds of people asking

Can’t find some of my favourite on YouTube - from Under the Western Freeway there’s Miner at the Dial-A-View, Collective Dreamwish of Upper Class Elegance and the haunting Everything Beautiful Is Far Away.

Her drag and click had never yielded
Anything as perfect as a dragonfly

The Group Who Couldn’t Say

then there’s the performance of Hewlett’s Daughter:

and finally for now, El Camino’s in the West
