A POST-MODERN AUGUST

The world needs you to turn on your receiver
The world needs you to tune into your muse
You have got to shine on every dark star
Here today you must invert your blues
And sing to me now
Sing to me now

‘Cause we’ve all heard the message
It’s positive it’s light
It’s good and it’s infectious
It could reach you tonight

So don’t cry
The sea won’t know your tears
Don’t cry
The sea won’t know your tears

The world can see you lie down in the sunshine
The world can see you run fast in the rain
You have got to roll it up the hill now
The shadow in the valley cannot gain
So sing to me now
Sing to me now

‘Cause we’ve all heard the message
It’s positive it’s light
It’s good and it’s infectious
It could reach you tonight

So don’t cry
The sea won’t know your tears
Don’t cry
The sea won’t know your tears


Notes:
The portamento synth (chorus) and squiggles
(coda) were played on a Korg DS-20 borrowed
from Billy at Easter Island in Sudbury.
The voice samples (coda) are from
shortwave parts unknown.
