JUNE 23RD - 15:44

don't listen to faith, listen to love - (the result of witnessing a grotesque preacher in the city today)....

yesterday matt, kelly chris and i drove to lincoln - went to the angel for a coffee with collette, then went to topman to buy some more vests (they make me feel free!), HMV so matt could pick up the new mars volta record...

then went to CEX - i bought taxi driver and ricky gervais - animals (they put the wrong disc in though, gave me politics instead. i forgot to take it back today, bugger..). i bought 50000 fall fans can't be wrong (they have a song called cheetham hill - i don't know why i'm so surprised) and kate bush - the red shoes.

kate bush is so special to me - the kick inside and hounds of love are two of the most perfectly expressive albums i've ever heard, she is a beautiful woman - a beautiful human being...

the red shoes has an absolutely amazing song on it, an undercover collaboration with prince (who is a huge kate bush admirer) - why should i love you?

it mixes kate's purity, femininity and beauty with the intricate funk of prince's production - the lyrics are stunning...


kate bush - why should i love you?

"This chapter says
"Put it out of your mind"
Give it time....

The fine purple
The purest gold
The red of the Sacred Heart
The grey of a ghost
The "L" of the lips are open
To the "O" of the Host
The "V" of the velvet

Of all of the people in the world
Why should I love you?
There's just something 'bout you
There's just something 'bout you
Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?

Have you ever seen a picture
Of Jesus laughing?
Do you think
He had a beautiful smile?
A smile that healed

Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?
There's just something 'bout you
There's just something 'bout you
Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?
Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?

The fine purple
The purest gold
The red of the Sacred Heart
The grey of a ghost
The "L" of the lips are open
To the "O" of the Host
The "V" of the velvet
The "E" of my eye
The eye in wonder
The eye that sees
The "I" that loves you

Of all the people in the world
Why should I love you?"




tonight i am packing for glastonbury - we set off tomorrow morning at 5AM.
