The Swifts 02:58
lyrics

The Swifts Like a leviathan I lumber in slow ease Swimming long lengths of my beachside pool Silky swifts sweep down from the trees And skim the surface to sip the cool Water, take a fleeting bath And perhaps to mock me with their wings While I spout and wallow they laugh At the great white whale that’s floundering As if to say: ‘Look at our temperance, And our lightness, in an instant we are sated; While for you a lifetime of self-indulgence Can never fill that emptiness you created’ TJD 18/2/19 0x656x - 0x545x 0x656x - 0x545x - 0x323x Riff Am 0x35x5 C Dm7 + riff Am 0x35x5 C Dm7 + riff Am Dm7 xx0211 Em7/D xx0433 F/D xx0565 Em7/D Dm7 C F/D - Em7/D Dm7 C Dm7 Em7 0x0433

Four Women [Penang airport 26/2/19 waiting for flight to Bangkok] Two English dowagers, identical grey hair, Chat softly in Surrey accents, ‘Oh, you know’ En route to the River Kwae Well organised, soft-spoken, pensioners on the go Delicate Thai girl, tapping at a phone Ripped jeans, flowery bags, flip-flops Quiet as a minnow, smiling at the screen Light as light itself, soft as a rain drop Tall American, jabbing at her laptop Rasping drawl, deals to be made right now Her voice annoys me I wish she’d stop Three serene and one like a screech owl 0x22xx - 0x21xx - 0x20xx - Cmaj7 Bbmaj7 - C- Dm7 Am Dm F C Dm Bb Haikus: Please do not smoke here If the detector smells one All hell is let loose Red dress black hair, smile In Thai English and Chinese Coffee fifty baht Xx0555 - xx0222 x2 xx4320 Silom Road Scooter, tuk-tuk, auntie, farang Conspire to block my path Like the smell of ripe durian I’m repulsed yet intoxicated with its charm Beauty, ugliness, sweat and kaya Like incense fill the air Easier to swim the Chao Praya river Than dodge six lanes of traffic here And mighty Bangkok forges its way Through the karma of ten million wais The hopeful, the innocent, the guilty and the gay Like the river, are carried in its sighs A E F#m D C#m F#m C#m F#m D A Bm G A Bm TJD 28/2/19 [kaya = thai word for rubbish. Wai = thai greeting hand gesture] Don Muaeng Grumpy girl at the Freshybar Like the one at Dairy Queen They’ve nailed shut the smoker’s spa Thai smiles nowhere to be seen The two english ladies I saw in Penang Are sitting behind me once more Their accents contrast with the chinese clang How was the Kwae? ‘Lovely! Oh you know’ I chose boredom over anxiety And arrived three hours too soon I’m missing my Art Deco society And the waves lapping near my bedroom Who do I bother to travel? People-pleasing at huge expense Ripped-off, stressed-out, the pointless skedaddle For the sake of more fragrance and stench TJD 1/3/19 X0xx11 - x0xx10 C G Dm Am G F Am G

The Sounds At night here now I turn off the fan So I can hear the sound of the waves on the beach The intake and exhaling of the ocean My bed becoming a ship at sea But Penang is not some desert shore It was built on trade in spice and teak So the island is always calling for more Traffic along its busy streets And when a dog barks another answers its call And soon the lorong is a howling frenzy And then you can barely hear the waters And hide your head from the infernal din But as the scooters fade from the gate And mongrels go back to fitful sleep Slowly the gentle sighs from the straits Again submerge you in the waters deep TJD 3/10/18 X0x67x - x0x45x - xx09(10)x xx0x55 X0x67x - x0x45x - xx09(10)x xx09(12)x G Bm C G fmaj7
