Dress Me Good

Ready to Wear
If in doubt, wear black
In Utopia every person is allowed their own lifestyle and religion...
but no one is allowed to stand on a soapbox and tell others that theirs is right.
Thomas More
Like it's Sunday Baby...


There's no shame in loving me baby
But am I worth saving... am I?
Dress me good, like it's Sunday Baby
Walk me slow, down the road

I could pray to a neon Jesus
But I'm no believer... am I?
Dress me good, like it's Sunday Baby
Walk me slow, down the road

And of course, it would be quite rude of me not to mention...

What kind of music do you make? What does it sound like? Dress Me Good: Sounds like...

A slow walk under the mid day sun with a tall exotic woman on the edge of a border town. A wagon, pulled by four white horses festooned in white feathers, follows close behind as a black limousine glides to a halt at the other end of the street.

The whole town looks deserted apart from a girl and a boy, hiding in the shadows... watching in wonder. Suddenly, a weather beaten door opens and the pair are scooped up in the arms of a middle aged woman... She hurries them inside but a ball drops from the boy's hand and bounces aimlessly for a few yards before rolling under the hooves of the oncoming horses... No one thinks to retrieve the ball.

Off in the distance, the driver of the limo pops the trunk and walks slowly to the back of the car. He takes out a large, heavy, zipped up bag and throws it into the road before climbing back in behind the wheel. The limousine reverses, side on to the street then pulls away, as if gliding into the horizon, leaving only a cloud of dust in it's wake... A stray dog runs excitedly up to the discarded bag but within a second gives out a frightened yelp and runs for cover...
Poem

IL MARE E LA MORTE

I heard the voices
I heard the ocean sing
Oh lover I was falling, falling
As your heart sang
It filled the air
Singing lover sail home to me

On the rocks there
I could hear you
Oh lover are you falling, falling
As your voice sang
From the water's edge
Lover sail home to me

Film of the Week - Harold & Maude - Hal Ashby 1971
"A lot of people enjoy being dead.
But they are not dead, really.
They're just backing away from life.
Reach out! Take a chance!
Get hurt even!
But play as well as you can.
Otherwise, you got nothing to talk about in the locker room."
Maude

Funeral - Robert Frank
