lyrics
They sort of got stuck on each other; like two toffees on a cinema seat.
Blending and melting and re-forming into something new - One Big TOFFEE! ; a toffee you could trust, that wouldn't let you down!
Taking out dogs on a Sunday - cleaning the garden TOOLS
It all became R E G U L A R.
The BRAN- FLAKE continuum, lived and experienced, as the AMERICAN SCREAM! AS THE AMERICAN SCREAM - continued to howl, with each shrieking VOWEL!!
Another toffee landed in the GUTTER and wasted away!; a cancerous scabby dog - searching for scraps, unloved and limping,
Past the shiny automobiles, shiny diners, shiny shopping malls, SHINY SHOPPING SHIT-PITS!
All tarnished now with the toffee papers of the original toffees - the ones who sort of got stuck on each other,
Like TWO TOFFEES - on a Cinema Seat! Better as one whole than two ROTTEN HALVES,
Better the security of HELL than the HAVE-NOTS and the HAVES.
Toffee dreams stretching right out - into the DESERT, up into the CLOUDS, down into the VALLEYS, shimmering on the SEA,
Toffee dreamtime for URBAN ABORIGINES in CHINOS and CAPUCCINOS and MEANY-MINY-MEANOS.
Down in the gutter is where they live; the real dreamers, the real dreamers,
Toffee time is finished, toffee time is over, no more toffee, no more toffee, toffee time is over.
No more toffee!

about
BABAL England, UK
One speaks and a thousand misunderstand
where millions are silent and a thunderous applause erupts
where chatter
overwhelms humility and gossip destroys worlds
the tongues wag, the ears flap and the mind creates a wall
everything has been said but no one has understood
talking with conviction and concluding that knowledge is easy and effects a multitude of expanding smokescreens around truth

Just played the Supernatural track as a taster before setting down for a full session and wow, its fantastic, much better than i imagined. This is a straight link to the 60s and the music of my youth. Custard Flux, you rock. Thank you.
