Here we go again...

Two more songs have appeared for streaming on Pete Atkin's website. Scroll down left-hand side to section "Listen To".

I particularly recommend "Be Careful When They Offer You the Moon", which is a perfectly-crafted more-or-less pop song, with a classy lyric.

[to any new readers - droning on about Pete Atkin is very much my LJ's 2009 Theme. Most large branches of HMV should be able to furnish you with the CD's, if you want to know why - "Midnight Voices" or "Beware of the Beautiful Stranger" are both good places to start]

And a poem, from today's writersalmanac:

This one was put in a jacket,
This one was sent home,
This one was given bread and meat
But would eat none,
And this one cried No No No No
All day long.

This one looked at the window
As though it were a wall,
This one saw things that were not there,
This one things that were,
And this one cried No No No No
All day long.

This one thought himself a bird,
This one a dog,
And this one thought himself a man,
An ordinary man,
And cried and cried No No No No
All day long.
