lyrics

CONUNDRUM

Inside the humdrum, he was caught up in a grand conundrum
And the manual he was carrying was stuffed with hieroglyphics
Dead drops underneath park benches, MI5

He woke up trapped in a dream at dawn,
And he was someone else’s clown
Stuck in a labrynth of his own making
Travelling back in time, and he was changing
Turned inside out, he was floating now
Sliding like Tracey Thunderbird
Screaming at Munch as he careened down the tunnel
Heading for hell, and there was no mistaking

You jumped the hedge and escaped the maze
You’re magnificent, harlequin
The castle grounds, they were all ablaze
Still they let you in, lion’s den

Demons awaited him down in the scullery,
Smoking in armoured suits and hollow laughter
Jester sneaking down the stairs, hellbent on frivolity
Found the sewer, left the ghouls in misery
Spewed out on the beach at night
Ignoring the balloon that lay there
He rose unaided and made for the blue
And now the streets on which he walks, they are rivers in the sky

The seasnakes writhing around in stratospheric flume of joy
Riding along on the song of a serpent
Totally helical twist in the sky

They wrapped him in a conundrum, bound in a riddle, off they fly
Gazing in joy at the receding horizon,
Space is his home now, too late for goodbyes

Descending now in a ball of fire
He’s a harlequin once again
He thought this all was a dream, it’s not
So malevolent in his head

He woke up trapped in a co...nun...drum
He lay there wrapped in a co...nun...drum

I dont normally buy Peter Jones music as its just not my thing. But in this case its different. His vocals are very expressive especially on the first track "Broken Man" He seems to have found another level of vocal feeling. He is undoubtedly a fine musician and I look forward to him giving the same expressive feeling in any forthcoming work. This is a very good album. Favourite track "Broken Man" Brian White
