Haven't listened to Safety Scissors before, but this
reminds me of the one godawful track on Brian Eno's
Another Green World that practically ruined the album:
I want to be the wandering sailor
We're silhouettes by the light of the moon
I sit playing solitaire by the window
Just waiting seasons change, ah, ah
You'll see, one day, these dreams will pull you through
my door
And I'll come running to tie your shoe
And I'll come running to tie your shoe.
That last bit sets my teeth on edge.... you have to
hear it to realize how bad this is....
