| Message | I say, "I want to introduce myself
And I am glad that all you came"
to no-one I am a stranger
And shout out my name
I am tall and I am thin
Of an enviable hight
And I’ve been known to be quite handsome
In a certain angle and in certain light
I sniff and cross myself
My hand decided that the time is nigh
And for a moment it slips from view
And when it returned, it fairly burned
With confidence anew
"Neighbours!" I cry, "Friends!" I scream
I bang my fist upon the bar
"I bear no grudge against you!"
"I am the man for which no God waits
But for which the whole world yearns
I’m marked by darkness and by blood
And one thousand powder-burns"
"I have no free will", I sing
he scream, "You are an evil man"
And I pause a while to wonder
"If I have no free will then how can I
Be morally culpable, I wonder"
From the raven’s hair upon my head
To the feathers on my wings
Remorse squeeze my hand in it’s fraudulent claw
With it’s golden hairless chest
Well, I catch my eye in the mirror
And give it a long and loving inspection
"There stands some kind of man", I roar
And there do, in the reflection
My hair combed back like a raven’s wing
My muscles hard and tight
Well I spin to the left, I spin to the right
And I spin to the left again
"Fear me! Fear me! Fear me!"
This is completely stolen from the song O’Malley’s bar by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, but I thought it was fun to introduce oneself in a kind of different way, then just saying all the normal stuff. The song can be found on the album ’Murder Ballads’, which is worth a listen - hereby recommended!
Anyways, do not say you have not been warned, should you go on and read a couple of my pieces! It has taken a long time to introduce myself, but here it is, and those of you who have already come across me, just ignore all this.
