Curly's Airships - CD1 - 1 - Voices from a Crystal Set
CURLY:- It's so strange here. So strange. I see you in a half-light, Moving slowly, under water. I hear you faint and high: Voices from a crystal set, 'Cat's whisker' out of kilter. You are the ghosts And I am the living man, Instead of the other way round...
It's my voice. More or less, But coming from the larynx Of a smartly dressed old woman Who seems to be asleep...
And I'm flying her mouth By remote control. Damn tricky work, Easy to make a balls Until you get the knack...
It's so strange here, So strange. No point in trying to tell you what it's like; I can't explain it. The words come out all wrong. And anyway, you'll all find out in time; Quite soon enough for comfort, I dare say... I should rattle some chains at this point, Or perhaps do the horrid laugh... But I'll tell you a story instead.
