Loosen your joints, tighten your ear drums,
Open your eye-holes and grab a friend by the fun.
Come Saturday evening: sweet intoxications,
steaming with feeling and bold proclamations:
All will be revealed!
Questions of the flesh: How to make good with bad feet?
A sinful entreaty – What lies beneath Lady Gaga’s meat?
And what becomes of those, bent on understanding,
What became of the children lured by the Piper of Hamlin?
All will be revealed!
How many ginger-hairs in a ginger-haired beard?
How many more cheers when the three cheers have been cheered?
And where the hell is that old Conservative Club?
That new Antwerp Mansion?
All will be revealed.
All will be revealed.
When you’re late for the Coltrane,
But Miles Ahead,
Before the Sun Ra rises and you’re Dizzy again
(you Gillespie’d old Rascal)
And ‘till Lady Day shall break, rum doth flow over The Roots,
Like fresh Youngblood for Chocolate
As the seed grows, in Manchester…
Where drums are banged and adoration craved
And beats get dropped by the Scruff of their neck
Where Broken’n English talk about our Jennaration
Where Chemical sisters & brethren rave under overground stations
And every kool-cat is a Chunky champion…
Madlibbed for your pleasure.
The Bad Plus good times multiplied.
Keeping up with the lost Etta James’s,
Winehouse’s and Gil-Scott’s…
The forgot’s and the alive’d
And all that stand the test..
From cracked lips to hips that never, ever lied.
Shakira said it best:
“All will be revealed”.
