OF A SATURDAY NIGHT MOVIE

9-16-94 VICTOR HARBOR COPYRIGHT TERRELL NEUAGE

LOVE IS MORE

THAN A SIMPLE DISCOVERY

OR REDEFINED DEFINITION

STRANGE INVENTION

AN INVASION OF PASSION

WISH FULFILLED.

9-16-94 VICTOR HARBOR COPYRIGHT TERRELL NEUAGE

LOVE IS LIKE A POMEGRANATE

GROWING ON A LITCHI NUT TREE

SO OBVIOUS

AND ADMIRED

FOR ITS UNIQUENESS

THAT EVERYONE WANTS

A TREE LIKE THAT.

9-16-94 VICTOR HARBOR COPYRIGHT TERRELL NEUAGE

TOO OFTEN TO MANY MOMENTS

AREN'T LONG ENOUGH

I KNEW WE'D SPEND TOGETHER

FOREVER

WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU

CROSS THE DANCE FLOOR

MORNING FOUND US

TANGLED SEAWEED

BACK WHEN I WAS A KNIGHT

BEFORE THERE WAS THE GRAND PRIX

AND THE OZONE WAS STILL LEFT UNPLUGGED

WOMEN DANCED IN AMARANTHINE SILKEN PEIGNOIRS

AND WANTED ME

WHEN THE EARTH WAS FLAT

AND CHIVALRY WAS ALL THE RAGE

I BELIEVED ALL I HAD TO DO

TO FIND THE GRAIL CUP

AND HAVE GUINEVERE

AT THE SAME TIME

WAS TO INVENT CABLE TV

BUT ELECTRICITY WAS YET TO BE DISCOVERED

SO LIKE ALL OTHER HEROES TO BE

I SHORTED OUT BEFORE MY TIME.

9-17-94 VICTOR HARBOR COPYRIGHT TERRELL NEUAGE

THE PAIN OF TOO MANY PAGES

TO TURN

TO CHANGE

TO BE FREE

LEFT ME IN THE CHAINS

I WAS PLACED IN

WHEN I WAS A CHILD

9-17-94 VICTOR HARBOR COPYRIGHT TERRELL NEUAGE

I NEVER WANTED ANYTHING

MORE THAN TO BE THE TOPPING

I EVEN HAD AN APPLE

THE BEST ABOUT THE NEW AGE

IS IT WILL WIPE OUT OLD AGE.

9-17-94 VICTOR HARBOR COPYRIGHT TERRELL NEUAGE

THROUGH THE MAGIC OF THINKING

I CAN CLOSE MY EYES

MAKE DISAPPEAR THE MESS MY LIFE IS

AND VISUALIZE THE STARDOM

I WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO HAVE.

9-17-94 VICTOR HARBOR COPYRIGHT TERRELL NEUAGE

NATURE BROUGHT FORTH

CHEMICALLY PRESERVED FAST FOODS

SINCE MY MOTHER WAS BURIED

I NO LONGER CAN SEE HER WITH MY EYES OPEN

WHEN I DO SEE HER

SHE IS ALWAYS LAUGHING DANCING

JUMPING ABOUT FROM PLANET TO PLANET

JUST YESTERDAY SHE WAS PLAYING

WHAT LOOKED LIKE TO ME A GAME OF TENNIS

ON ONE OF JUPITER'S MOONS

WITH MY BROTHER

BUT I HAD TO OPEN MY EYES

TO AVOID HITTING A CAR

AS I WAS DRIVING TO ADELAIDE

AND WHEN I CLOSED MY EYES AGAIN

I NO LONGER COULD SEE THEM

SO I DON'T KNOW WHO WON.

DO YOU?

9-17-94 VICTOR HARBOR COPYRIGHT TERRELL NEUAGE

ALL NIGHT I LIVE IN FEAR

THIS GUILTY WOMB OF DARKNESS

WON'T PUSH ME OUT

SIGNING THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

THEN WENT OUT FOR A BIT OF TEA AND SEX

IT WAS A RAINING EVENING

A CUP OF TEA AND SOFT THIGHS

TO BURY MY HEAD INTO

WOULD SUIT ME JUST RIGHT NOW

1776 - I HAD SUGGESTED WE SIGN THE THING

ON JULY 7TH 1777

ALL THOSE SEVENS

I KNEW BY SIGNING IT IN 1776

THERE'D BE NOTHING BUT TROUBLE

BUT I WAS OUTVOTED

IT DIDN'T MATTER

THE FUTURE WOULD SORT ITS SELF OUT

FOR NOW LIKE ALL GOOD INDEPENDENT MEN

ALL THAT WAS IMPORTANT WAS TEA AND SEX

WE TRADED PARTNERS THAT NIGHT

I HAD BEN'S WIFE, JOHN HAD MINE

IT TURNED OUT TO BE AN ORGY ACTUALLY

THE WOMEN GOT LAID

ONE BY ONE LAYING ON THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

THEN THE MEN

A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL

BACK ON THAT NIGHT IN JULY 1776.
