lyrics
Shall I lie, or shall I leave?
As I’m so squashed, I
can’t breathe.
Am I dumb or am I damned?
To me it’s large, but
stars they frown,
look down at me,
A grain of
sand,
….
Whilst they are grand.
Send me hope we are akin;
distant parts of one machine.
Sunlight flashes on my eyelid.
Sunlight feeding me with D.
Sunlight dances on my dermis.
Sunlight joining the skies to me.
Joining the skies to me
Do I do enough to die?
Live enough to
say goodbye?
Far along as I appear
I’ve not done much and
I do fear
my rent’s not paid
Stars don’t fade.
….
Come to my aide.
Send me hope we are akin;
distant parts of one machine.
Starstuff making up my atoms
Starstuff hardening my teeth
Starstuff flowing round my arteries
Starstuff joining the stars to me
Joining the stars to me
As I’m so squashed, I
can’t breathe.
Am I dumb or am I damned?
To me it’s large, but
stars they frown,
look down at me,
A grain of
sand,
….
Whilst they are grand.
Send me hope we are akin;
distant parts of one machine.
Sunlight flashes on my eyelid.
Sunlight feeding me with D.
Sunlight dances on my dermis.
Sunlight joining the skies to me.
Joining the skies to me
Do I do enough to die?
Live enough to
say goodbye?
Far along as I appear
I’ve not done much and
I do fear
my rent’s not paid
Stars don’t fade.
….
Come to my aide.
Send me hope we are akin;
distant parts of one machine.
Starstuff making up my atoms
Starstuff hardening my teeth
Starstuff flowing round my arteries
Starstuff joining the stars to me
Joining the stars to me

Instrumental Music 1
by Craig Fortnamsupported by 6 fans who also own “Joining the Skies”
Craig Fortnam is well known for being the creative mastermind behind names like "Shrubbies", "North Sea Radio Orchestra", "Arch Garrison", and, well, "Craig Fortnam", of course. He's from the big family of musicians and composers revolving around the cult band "Cardiacs", all of which share some undeniable and hard-to-describe common quality in their songwriting. "Instrumental Music 1" is quite some unspecific title for the wide range of unique avantgarde tracks he has released only recently.
