horrors – gloves lyrics
today i found a baby’s glove
lying on the drainage board so still
yesterday a leather glove from the slim hand of a woman
the next time i saw one it was lying half frozen and twisted
on the kerb.and i… now i have my own private collection
all lined in rows when you open up the wardrobe doors
now i have no room for my obsession
lined up and labelled in neat little packets
the next time i saw one it stuck inside my head and became
all that i could think about
i’ll think twice before i pick it up this time
since i thought about what it had done and where it
had been and who it had belonged to
and i’ll twice before i pick it up this time
i thought about who it might have done
and where it had come from and
what it might have belonged to
the next time i saw one
i had that itching sensation
but my hands stayed by my sides
and i couldn’t take it
and through wax seals and padlocks…
a hand through my ribcage
past the choking
i saw palms
and fingers grasping
shoulders… collarbone… crushing
i imagined myself hacking
desperately at a sea of appendages,
forward and right,
freeing myself like a butcher,
feeling the mash of bone
and sinew running slowly
down the front of my body…
and i couldn’t take
it any more,
i said,
i’ve got to go,
i’ve got to get out of here,
and i ran down the street,
i’ve got to get out of here,
i’ve got to go.
