pictures on a wall - bryan ferry and amelia barratt lyrics

crushing up the ice
for the winter party
i used to live for chaos
now with the outhouse
i know the sound of a climbing bat
how to mow correctly
the more frequently you mow
the denser the lawn will be
correctly now, she says
well it’s a start, i say
but what i want
is to hang pictures on a wall

have you ever owned a trap for a mouse?
in the old days it was a wine bottle
the door a cork closed by hand
mine’s glass
with a self*closing entrance
that keeps the creature in
it was sold to me
as a highly sensitive catcher
for the sake of the children
i release them into the park
the mice find their way back and often
it’s at a party
nothing to do with the people
more like the pull
of a petrol station at night
what is the difference between ash
and snow
she asked me in the interview
where are your awards
and have you ever seen a greenhouse
re*glazed
surely, i said, in the first instance
one is required to smash every single pane
her can of cola cracked
joking aside, i said
now hand me a brush

i’m hosing down the roof when i think of it
the best arrangements
they come in a daydream
i hear her take a snap
she must only see the base of me
the footprints of my swinging feet
the fine spray of water
will it reach her
