playlist Machine Gun

[Terrance F. Flaherty]

geck, geck geck, geck, geck 
Jimmy and Band of Gypsy's machine gun. 

"Now sing along," she smiled, and actually got the audience,
even Roger to sing:
.....
.....
Oh your mother's a big fat machine gun,
And your father's a dreary young man....
(Whispered and staccato):

Oh, the man-a-ger's suck-ing on a corn-cob, pipe
....
...."    GR.175



"Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky" 

Did did did did you see the frightened ones? 
Did did did did you hear the falling bombs? 
Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the 
promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue 
sky? 

Did did did did you see the frightened ones? 
Did did did did  you hear the falling bombs? 
The flames are all gone, but the pain lingers on. 

Goodbye, blue sky 
Goodbye, blue sky. 
Goodbye. 
Goodbye. 
Goodbye. 


Pynchon wrote that he saw himself, "entrenched on the T.S.
Eliot side of no man's land."
