Kid from Zounds by Dappled Cities

Where’s the kid who climbed this greater height,
Who gave the older and wiser a wink of the eye,
Then a graceful departure

Who’s ambition sold our best foot forward and back,
With a candid and smiling attack,
And a brain full of wonder

All the celebration, the cathedral and choir and machine,
Are a blanket wrapped up in a kid,
With a mouth full of praises

So long, may your lemmings tumble down,
And bury deep your silly little town,
Babe brought up the belly of the whale

So you know that we’re the kids who made up
A divided supply of the land and a culture that waved
the hand of a generation,
You can grow against our tide of saliva

So long, may your lemmings tumble down,
And bury deep your silly little town,
Babe brought up the belly of the whale

And the kid said,
So long, it’s complicated but this engine hummed along,
To the groan of how man made it so resistibly slow,
and so long,
It’s complicated but babe delivered us the belly of the whale
