m.j. hibbett – the house on the borderland كلمات اغاني
1980s peterborough
was not the sort of place
where you expected psychedelic shops
to drop from outer sp_ce
in a haze of paisley patterns
that john lewis couldn’t know
playing records that you’d never hear
on hereward radio
arriving like a mission
sent to summon the new age
came a wizard, his wife and his brother_in_law
they were pete and jayne and dave
the house on the borderland
was this nirvana’s name
after the house on the borderland
nothing would be the same
selling various ephemera
of a counter_cultural kind
the house on the borderland
blew my tiny mind
me and pradeep, sanjiv, steve and mileage
in groups of twos and threes
would make the lunchtime pilgrimage
down to gladstone street
to a strangely smelling wonderland
where pete purveyed a wealth
of american comics three months before
they reached newsagents shelves
there were fanzines that revealed to me
new ways to read the world
also love and rockets, watchmen
nexus and dark knight returns
at the house on the borderland
my pocket money flew
to the house on the borderland
my dinner money too
from outside it might seem dingy
but it shone a rainbow light
from the house on the borderland
into another life
beyond a job at pearl assurance
or career at thomas cook
from the ideas that we found there
new horizons opened up
when i was working on my phd
concerning doctor doom
the texts i _n_lysed remind me
of that ill_lit room
the shop shut down ten years ago
pete passed away
peterborough has craft beer bars now
and a vegan café
marks and sparks sell tie_dyed t_shirts
alan moore is on tv
superhero stories belong to the world now
not just me
no_one needs to walk a mile
to a special kind of shop
to hear a view that’s different
or to smell a smell that’s odd
but the house on the borderland
is open in my heart
because the house on the borderland
is where all this stuff starts
between the fens and the future
between conformity and not
the house on the borderland
was more than just a shop
