The Eyes Have It
Category Archives: Music
Lord, What Fuels These Portals Be!
Midnight, one more night without sleeping.
Watching ’til that morning comes creeping.
Green Door: what’s that secret you’re keeping?There’s an old piano and they play it hot behind the green door!
Don’t know what they’re doing but they laugh a lot behind the green door.
Wish they’d let me in so I could find out what’s behind the green door.Knocked once, tried to tell ’em I’d been there.
Door slammed — hospitality’s thin there.
Wondering just what’s going on in there.Saw an eyeball peepin’ through a smoky cloud behind the green door.
When I said “Joe sent me” someone laughed out loud behind the green door.
All I want to do is join the happy crowd behind the green door.
Otra noche mas que no duermo.
Otra noche mas que se pierde.
¿Que habrá tras esa puerta verde?
Suena alegremente un piano viejo
tras la puerta verde.Todos ríen y no se que pasa
tras la puerta verde
No descansaré hasta saber que hay
tras la puerta verde.Toqué, y cuando contestaron
dije ¡Ah! que a mí me llamaron.
Risas, y enseguida me echaron.Sólo pude ver que mucha gente allí se divertía,
y entre tanto humo todo allí se confundía.
Yo quisiera estar al otro lado de la puerta verde.Otra noche mas que no duermo.
Otra noche mas que se pierde.
¿Que habrá tras esa puerta verde?
¿Que habrá tras esa puerta verde?
¿Que habrá?

Moz on Mogz
“The basic fascination I have with cats is nothing unusual. I find them very intelligent and very superior. And I feel entranced by them. If I see one in the street I feel immediately drawn to the cat. I have a friend, Chrissie Hynde [the singer with The Pretenders], she’s exactly the same. You can be walking with her along the street, she sees a cat, she walks away. You continue to walk on, talking to no one. You look around and she’s crouched down with a cat in a hedge. I’m exactly the same way. I’m fascinated by them.” — “Morrissey on… privacy, the Queen and The Smiths”, The Daily Telegraph, 17vi11

“Navigator” by Dopelord from Children of the Haze (2017)
Leaf burns to ashes — Hail the Holy Smoke!
Deepspace traveller, folding time with bong;
Green smoke inhaler — space defeated bends.
Skilled time deflector, holding bong in hand
Holding bong in hand…Slowly he’s dying,
Slowly he’s turning,
Into stones and into ashes:
Slowly gets high.Galaxy raider flights the mothership;
Mind decompressor on eternal trip;
Green smoke inhaler — space defeated bends.
Skilled time deflector, holding bong in hand
Holding bong in hand…

Post-Performative Post-Scriptum
The title of this incendiary intervention is a paronomasia on Song of Songs, the Biblical book traditionally ascribed to King Solomon and known in Hebrew as שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים Šīr hašŠīrīm and in Polish as Pieśń nad Pieśniami. Please note that the Overlord of the Über-Feral abhors and abominates the taking of all and any drugs. Except the purest and most potent: water, language, mathematics and music dot dot dot
