That's a pretty good idea that you had
The one about space
The one about living underground
The one about waiting
Waiting for the story to be told
How they lied
And they tried to keep you down, obfuscating
Cars that run on water that is easily obtained
From clouds formed by devices that in drought will make it rain
Ionizing upper atmospheric charges then
Collect electrons to run the trains
I wish that you had left us better notes
Why didn't you phone
you must have known they'd bring you down
Get us a copy
Copies of the plans and formulae
On a computer
Or other suitable format, even a floppy
You should have known they'd confiscate the working prototype
Pay the peer reviewers to dismiss it all as tripe
Add some extra minus signs so no one could build it right
And leave us fumbling for the light of that
Pretty good idea
Pretty good idea
Pretty good idea that you had

Terrific jangle pop with an edge, somewhere between Television Personalities and R.E.M. with a bit of Kinks in there, too. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2023
