Just got the new album by John Matthias, and I'm rather impressed. Apparently he's also a proper poet and everything. Here's one of my favourite songs.


One Sunny Day in the No-Fly Zone - John Matthias

Seven weeks we flew, seven weeks we knew
All the people down below us.
There's an old man taking a boy to school,
There's a girl who's waving at us.
And we kept the peace, and we held the place,
And we skirted 'round the village.
'Till the orders came, 'You will be relieved'
And in flew a friendly air-force.
So I waved to him, my allied friend,
In his F16 apparel.
But his plane was not decked for peace, my friend
He was staring down a barrel.
On his aircraft (I know, I saw this much)
Was a fecund undercarriage
And a gaudy picture of Britney Spears,
Which was painted for the village.
So I saw her fly through that needle's eye
As she dropped down in the silence.
And those painted eyes saw reality
And the villagers' compliance.
And she flew down, down at normal G
And she flew down in the silence,
But those eyes they bought the reality
And the beauty of our science.

And she flew down, down at normal G
And she flew down in the silence,
But those eyes they bought just reality
And the beauty of our science.
