An exercise in writing. To spill out a few words and phrases and knit them together as a single work. So, deliberately, there wasn’t much in the way of curation or re-writing in this.

Listen to it here.

Do you ever dream of Jeannie?

Do you wonder about the wall?

Do you ever walk on the wild side?

Do ya, Do ya, Do ya

Ever think of me at all?

–

Will the wind in the willows whip you?

Will the clouds drop lightning seeds?

Will your shadow dancing partner

Find your hidden needs?

–

Do you tell a west side story?

Do you make good apples fall?

Do you ever walk on the wild side?

Do ya, Do ya, Do ya

(Aah aaah aaah)

Ever think of me at all? ?

–

Why is war so bloody warlike?

Why does winter feel like snow?

Why are fights so angrily achy

Even after the final blow?

(Ooo oooo oo)

–

Do you still rock to the rafters?

Do you pick John or Paul?

Do you stay up late for the Late show?

Do ya, Do ya, Do ya

(Aah aaah aaah)

Ever think of me at all?

–

When do boasters seek silence?

When is nineteen eighty four?

When is the last day of your autumn

With the angel at your door?

–

I may have been your answer

I would have loved you to the moon

We would’ve been Rogers and Astaire

How would it be, just dancing with you.

(Oooo oooo ooo)

–

Do you ever dream of Jeannie?

Do you wonder about the wall?

Do you ever walk on the wild side?

–

Do ya, Do ya, Do ya

(Aah aaah aaah)

–

Ever think of me at all?

Do you (do you)

Do you (do you)

Do you

Ever think of me at all? ?
