  • MOMENTS OF DELIGHT
    Words by Chris Cutler, Music by Tim Hodgkinson

    A ray
    split by
    the fragments
    of a
    broken
    mirror
    a window
    lit
    against the
    night
    these are my
    hopes
    in times
    of
    terror
    these
    my
    moments
    of
    respite
    (delight)


    IN THE DARK YEAR
    Words by Chris Cutler, Music by Lindsay Cooper

    Held tight in jaws of
    Fear and Force
    A country
    dies - for Power
    has learned :
    the more it takes
    the more the mass
    moves back to
    give it space
    Fear
    Snowballs into
    Madness
    here, where violence
    Parades
    As
    Law
