From the recording Doesn't Play Well With Others

Notes; The title is from Joseph Conrads 'The Heart of Darkness'. It's a nice little line. We do live in the flicker and the flicker gets shorter and shorter. As a huge Francis Coppola fan it's a little nod to him too. My vocal 'style' here is also a 'nod', this time to the great Bill Nelson, probably best known for his group Be-Bop Delux, but for me due to a record he put out under the name 'Red Noise' around 1979 called 'Sound on Sound'. It's still one of my favourite albums ever. Here's to ya Bill!

Verses

I'm a steady state catalyst

An optimistic pessimist

An anarchistic pacifist

A fatalistic lobbyist



I'm a convoluted absolute

I'm a constituted institute

I'm an executed dissolute

I'm a destitute substitute



I'm a hypnotistic humorist

I'm an egotistic soloist

I'm an eucharistic atheist

I'm a moralistic terrorist



I'm just a super trooper

A swooning type of crooner

I'm a rumour in a stupor

With a cartoon sense of humor
