Huh - The Blue Aeroplanes

Nervy push and wordy stagger

Blow up world in minor key

Step out wide, I think I’ll back her

Reckon she’ll get there ahead of me

Jittery aim and all

It’s better to push and stagger than break

Bend out flat in face of aggression

See what you can take

Hey!

Take that river back!

Put it on the shelf!

Sometimes I think we could fly the whole affair by FX

Moon, wings, the usual

Bird with red eyes bends a long neck

Stabs down, colours itself

We don’t see it

It breaks the world somewhere else

You know you can replace this idea

Replace it on the shelf

Sometimes it’s a bird in a cage

Sometimes the cage itself

You could throw the book in the air

See where it lands

That’s the page you can read

That’s the one that binds the plot where she fell

And wept

Look real crocodiles

Crawl’d 'twixt cheek and chin

She said take your sword, young Andrew and

Plunge it in

I had the push, I had the stagger

I had the pack in front of me

It was dangerous, wild, it was landslide and cracked air

You know the world’s a big place to see

It looks like a journey

The view’s exquisite

Nakedness, way stations and lakes

It’s like something from Shakespeare

It’s something for nothing

See what you can take
