German Love


The cake broke! Oh no!

So you know how you imagine how something is going to look in your head? And it doesn't usually turn out exactly like that.

Well, my ideal plan for the DJ Tea and MC Cake set was to involve Dave the Machine taking a big gulp of bubble mixture, and then regurtitating it like a mother-bird feeding a baby-bird into Daniel Freakin' Taylor's mouth, who would then gargle with the bubble liquid whilst I knelt on the floor next to them reading Daniel's poem, "German Love"

German Love

Eyes should be brown or blue
Hair dark. sound attitude
Back straight, don't shirk technique
Make love once then repeat

Ready to dare and trust
No Aries or Taurus
People with kids don't apply
You've played the field, I don't mind

You will have German Love
I want your German Love

If you're still reading this ad
You might get what I have
You're loyal and such a flirt
Must see photograph first

Don't lie; height, build or age
Two dates, numbers exchanged
One look then I will grade
Have you goods you can trade?

You will have German Love
I want your German Love

As it happened, everything I had ever hoped came true that night in the Volks. Me, DJ Tea, Rosanne, Daniel Taylor, Dave the Machine, Anna and Becca converged upon the Volks, where we listened to some pounding pounding breakcore, before, armed with spoons and electrical devices, Tea and Cake begun in the downstairs room. The usual tortured bokecore jitterings of Tea and Cake filled the room, along with dancing gimps, breakcore mentalists and psy-trance ravers, sponges and teaspoons flying through the air, and Rosanne running around the place electrocuting people with the electric device. The interlude took place about half way through. It worked perfectly, and with the added spectacle of making Daniel Freakin' Taylor boke up all over the floor.

We finished with the Water and Rats song, and then somehow managed to persuade the audience to lie on the floor as a sign of their appreciation (I don't know why, but DJ Tea just doesn't like clapping, and lying on the floor is so much more expressive)

Splendid evening. Splendid. Previously we went to a Victorian night in Lewes and Daniel successfully gargled with bubbles and read his German Love poem to Andy Chef and a man with a video camera and Rosanne drew a little scampi and the gaunt Professor Elemental

hi Shiny Mc Shine
Or is it MC?

Anyway, thanks for the post. I wrote something in reply if you want to go check it out. Strangely enough, I was similarly inspired to put lyrics up on my blog today too. Must be something in the sunshine.

What is breakcore? Also, if you want to make links to other sites, go into "templates" and you can mess around in there. If you don't know how to mess around with HTML, let me know & I'll send you something you can cut&paste.

Adios.
