about
Squashing Pennies is dedicated to the memory of Mark Szulgit.
lyrics
I promise to pay the bearer
The sum of,
Self.
A ritual, your currency
I'll pay you,
Fair.
And I promised to be lost
Be upright and be vital
The thrum and hum on the tracks
The metal and the pressure
Squashing, pennies
And
loss
Only, only, ever
After, after we're, gone
Pennies, memories some change
Sleep deep, sleep deep
And rest
Returns the other sun set
And I want to tell you that I love you
And these words these words they don't say Enough
And I want to tell you that I see you
May our stride be strong and always,
Upright and vital
And you showed me strength and play and
Acres of wisdom
All we were doing was
Squashing the pennies…
The sum of,
Self.
A ritual, your currency
I'll pay you,
Fair.
And I promised to be lost
Be upright and be vital
The thrum and hum on the tracks
The metal and the pressure
Squashing, pennies
And
loss
Only, only, ever
After, after we're, gone
Pennies, memories some change
Sleep deep, sleep deep
And rest
Returns the other sun set
And I want to tell you that I love you
And these words these words they don't say Enough
And I want to tell you that I see you
May our stride be strong and always,
Upright and vital
And you showed me strength and play and
Acres of wisdom
All we were doing was
Squashing the pennies…

Instrumental Music 1
by Craig Fortnamsupported by 6 fans who also own “Squashing Pennies”
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.
