The Tunnels Beneath New Albion 1

For anyone listening
The last wishers wishing
And squatters who’ve still got some gin
I’m recording today
From beneath the subway
If anyone out there’s tuning in
I’m doing my best
Though my left eye’s a mess
It’s swollen and i can’t see a thing
Still, here’s your transmission
The heart bleed edition
Live from the bonegrind machine
I haven’t slept near all weekend
The squat it was partying
And me and eddie of course we joined in
I’m still pretty high
Though my bones sure are tired
Yet im searching these tunnels again
Last night while we’re raging
This one song was playin
And i felt like my sister was there
Like the old days when we
Made our way on the streets
Back before she disappeared
Eddie’s stressed and wound up
This big score we got coming
We got dreams we’re gonna reach out and grab
And soon we’ll stop squatting
And we ‘ll buy us a bar with
The money we make selling skag
Our friends will all hang there
With eddie and me there
The good times they won’t end you’ll see
And above it we’ll have
This really posh flat
Far from the bonegrind machine
So each week here i play
The weird west cabaret
I rebroadcast it for all who tune in
That one hour it plays
Close my eyes, fade away
And live somewhere else for a bit
And think of my sister
And how much i miss her
And how i won’t rest til she’s found
So i scrounge neath the floors
In the tunnels and sewers
That lie like a maze underground
Being down here’s for the best
I mean eddie’s real stressed
This scores got him really uptight
I know it ain’t right
But he sure let loose this time
I really can’t see out my eye
My whole cheek is swollen
It’s best that im gone for
A few days til his temper will ease
So here’s your transmission
The sewer rat edition
Live from the bonegrind machine
When my sister comes back then
Everything’ll be right again
And eddie will love her in time
And when he gets mad
She’ll stand up like she did dad
And then we’ll all get along fine
I remember the day
I heard her on the Cabaret
Weeks after she disappeared
But this week it didn’t play
There was no cabaret
Instead in its place
There was something real strange
This broadcast l i’ll play you right here
