Please Remember To Mention Me (In Tapes You Leave Behind)

 

Please Remember To Mention Me (In Tapes You Leave Behind)

 

Fishy tissue from the bin

you just put the used trash in

wipe liquid from your puncta

cold smears and the glass is smudged

from side to side

so please remember to mention me

in tapes you leave behind

 

Vans exist in old Qatar

did not know they reached that far

talking T Shirts not the car

lifting artifacts off the hook

that stray offside

so please remember to mention me

in tapes you leave behind

 

She’s got wheels wheels of steel

dentist and her whining drill

his cavalry and his hill

never too far from glorious

but too unkind

so please remember to mention me

in tapes you leave behind

 

Curiosity kills cats

born in skips, but for all that

there is nothing that they lack

and the marimba shimmers

as beaters grind

so please remember to mention me

in tapes you leave behind

 

Magnificent men in their

flying machines windswept hair

up tiddly up up and flares

shoot up dummy Lee Coopers

but where’s your spine

so please remember to mention me

in tapes you leave behind

 

When your world is running down

all you find is all you found

she who’s in will make no sound

but trespasses against you

and love is blind

so please remember to mention me

in tapes you leave behind

 

Shangri-La is sitting here

playing postman’s knock that's clear

name that tune then disappear

and I’ll name that tune in one

I think you find

sometimes I did remember to mention you

in tapes I left behind
