Neon

from Previous Releases by AJIMAL

about

Neon is about hospitals - and a character from George Orwell's Cigarettes -v- Books, who is eternally medicalised, and locked up in a hospital - subjected to constant testing and medication without any hope of getting better, and in a sudden outburst he throws over his table with all his medication on, and declares "you fools, don't you have eyes and ears in your heads?! Can't you see I'm dying?!" It's quite intense, because there are harps, and accordions, and mental drums, and lots and lots of strings in there. All to make it sound geet banging basically.

lyrics

Sixty Beats a minute
Sixty Beats...

It takes an age,
It takes forever to count us in.

How I howl, when I permit
All the deeds that you commit,

Don't you have eyes?
Don't you have eyes and ears in your heads?

Don't you have eyes?
Don't you keep them open when you sleep at night?

And you are loved in neon
And you are loved til I'm gone
And you are loved in neon.
