momus - glassy menageries lyrics
in berlin i made my cabaret
new york tried its best to make me g_y
bueno aires saw me scribbling, writing p_rn and drinking gin
polish in my émigré café
in athens a eucalyptus tree
with breezy leaves wafted hot aroma over me
in montreal a padded suit helped me not to freeze
skating with my brother on lakes the size of seas
fleeing gowdspeak in reekie
to rangoon in madras_patterned lungi
to pose with sydney goodsir smith, the deevil’s waltz in ’56
looking ten years older at the schwedagon pagoda
they swirl around me like so many leaves
the cities that have made me someone i was never meant to be
konbini moon above garfinkel’s deli
all these glassy menageries
london at its’ sniffy, stuffy best
made me run away like joyce did to trieste
but it really took berlin to make me stop and see
that cities are as liquid as my identity
in athens i was king for a day
in paris found a queen and i stayed
in osaka what i really liked was riding on my shopping bike
through streets that i was never went to see
in silence, exile and cunning
i will sneak away to where it’s sunny
in palermo i’m a bangladeshi feeling right at home
i’m ancient like the romans when i walk in rome
stretched out on matted ground, tatamisé
cypriot in gaza, british in l.a
auden in austria in his prim chalet
wondering who chester is pestering that day
they swirl around me like so many leaves
the cities that have made me someone i was never meant to be
konbini moon above garfinkel’s deli
all these glassy menageries
they swirl around me like so many leaves
the cities that have made me someone i was never meant to be
konbini moon floats above garfinkel’s deli
all these glassy menageries
