about

Yes that's a sitar solo played by the man.

lyrics

Detective Perspective

A rubber duck family afloat at the sea
In a vast reef of rubble and an insolent plea,
They’re swimming in circles and searching for sense
And wait for another aeon to commence.

A cracked submarine, four warheads amiss,
Deep down you can hear the chanting of fish:
‘Rust and remembrance, interdependence,
Blubber and flubber and amiss...’

Redwood and cedar entwined in a waltz:
Each year a step and every other a halt.
A ballet in amber, just a riddle at dawn,
A million in timber unravelled the saw.

Detective Perspective,
Looks like you’ve got yourself a case.
Detective Perspective,
I don’t think you can turn that one away.
Detective Perspective,
Please would you shed some light:
We talk about ebb, we talk about flow,
Do we talk about the tide?

Colon and liver are playing a game of chess,
And the scrotum’s quite good, but the brain is the best.
But in different matters, alternate affairs,
The head is quite useless, but the heart is right there.
And ‘Yes,’ nods the nodder, ‘I’ll do as I will!’
‘Yes,’ plots the plotter, ‘I’ll do as I feel!’
And plotting his course, clutching the wheel,
He drives to buy shit in two tons of steel.

A buzz in the grass, a humble bee, in the morrow she flies.
A cough, pretty rough, a ladybug lays down to die.
All creatures afloat, all creatures so high in a myriad of fields
All tainted with poison for maximum yields.

Detective Perspective,
Looks like you got yourself a case.
Detective Perspective,
I don’t think you can turn that one away.
Detective Perspective,
Please would you shed some light:
We talk about ebb, we talk about flow,
Do we talk about the tide?
