lyrics

pictures of the impossible

that winter i was buried
in stack of old sci-fi novels
lurid covers illustrated
with pictures of the impossible

the snow lingered on for weeks
clung to the jagged mountain peaks
which stood like rows of broken teeth
in the valley’s broken jaw

that was the year they closed the doors
of the coking works at the colliery
and the night would lose the false dawn glow
of the chimney in the east

and the mornings, they were quiet
now the cars had nowhere to go
it would be years before they would build
the out-of-town shopping mall

bathed in deep-sea luminescence
of a muted cathode-ray
searching for the meaning in an indistinguishable day
and my grandfather’s cigarette cards
of the world’s biggest unsolved mysteries
spellbound and captivated
by pictures of the impossible
