Words made up on the spot in one take with no idea where I was going to end up. Enjoy. As Jazzassin I do not generally do lyrics, however, if you like stream of conciousness poetry, check out my alter ego Sonic Lumiere;https://soundclick.com/r/a263

Jazz based randomness. Lyric based randomness as Sonic Lumiere - https://soundclick.com/SONICLUMIERE
Improvised jazz based music as Jazzassasin. Along with earlier stuff that doesn't fit with my other Alter Egos. _________________________________________________________________________________ In my twenties I shared a house with several other students. Whilst they were listening to the Sex Pistols, Ramones and the Clash. I was listening to Boulez, Cage, Penderecki, Ligetti, Reich and Berio, along with a bit of Shostakovich, Berlioz and Mahler amongst others and the Clash, Coil, Faust, toad the wet sprocket and suchlike. Occasionally my housemates would venture into my darkened hashish scented lair and say what the fuck is this you are listening to. They would linger ( due to the aroma and its source) and with patience and time they would eventually say things like, this isn't bad. My only hope is that some of those composers ( or my now rapidly approaching old age flat mates) mentioned above would venture here and say something like, this isn't bad. If only they weren't all dead ( The composers, not my mates ... yet). Ive still got some dope left!

Lyrics
2 o'clock in the morning Empty street Searing heat There's no-one around A cat leaps from a nearby window Jumps, then falls You see the shadows From those streetlights on the walls Just walking along. Nothing going on you're just walking along Shuffling feet A guy steps out from the corner Asks for a light I say, there isn't any It's the middle of the night The guy is not amused Thinks I'm taking the piss Well maybe I am Not much more to do on a night like this He grabs me by the collar He says, you want some man? I say, I don't want any man That's not the way that I am For some reason this gets him a bit more angry Well it's his problem not mine But as time goes on Appears to be my problem I find I say, hey man I'm just minding my own business here What business you in? I say, I'm walking Business must be pretty thin, he says What do you mean by that I say He says, well look at you man Your clothes are hanging off I say, well it's the way I'm built. People say to me in the shops Sorry about the wait I say, well I'm trying to eat more But this goes over his head. He says, I just asked for a light man Give me a light On this hot Balmy Night And the cat wanders past Remember the cat? Yeah, he jumped from the balcony above. So I shuffle about I find my pocket I get the lighter out And... He says, he says..... You got a fag man? I says, I thought we covered that misunderstanding we had a little while back He says, No man, a cigarette Why is he asking for a light when he hasn't even got a cigarette? Who's taking the piss now So I go to my other pocket, Yeah, I have two I'm that sort of guy I get the cigarette out He puts it in his mouth And he cups his hand around my hand As I light the cigarette And I'm wary that his hands are quite... Filthy I don't know what he has been doing in that back alley And I'm a bit concerned Because, you know, I can't afford to get ill I'm on holiday man, holiday. So he smokes the cigarette and says, Hey, you not gonna join me? I didnt wanna go down that road again So, I light the cigarette He says, man you know, you're OK I say, yeah I am ok I was ok until I met you But I say nothing Thanks man What say we go somewhere? What you got in mind? He says, I know this place I say, I know this place too He says, no I know this place Where we can get some nice beer Some nice women And who knows what else. I don't wanna be rude So I walk And he walks And it's getting darker And the roads are getting narrower And we're heading towards this neon Green Blinking Light In the distance I'm not sure I've seen this part of town before This could be interesting The light gets closer and closer And the dark gets darker and darker The light is shining brightly Drawing me in So we get to the door And a weedy looking guy with a funny looking face says, We've been waiting for you Come on in We descend the stairs Theres some strange strange music And a strange strange smell Kind of sweet Kind of sickly People have their backs to us And there's some some of music going on But I cant make it ou...... Is it jazz? Is it classic? Is it...? What is it? And why is everyone facing towards the wall? There's nothing on that wall It's just a blank wall Slowly they turn Slowly They turn The guy who stopped me is now gone It's just me And these people They turn And I recognise the faces They're all the same as me They are me! An army of me In a hole in the ground And no-one else around On a dark dark night With no, no light Dark dark night
