Name: english teeth
Duration: P00H01M55S
Description: this used to be gaffer-taped onto the end of "dog on a string", after the "dual carriageway" bit... but here it is on its own. I wrote it without being aware of Spike Milligan's wonderful poem "Teeth" - or maybe it was cryptomnesially recalled. Def worth a gander at that: wonderful.

lyrics

she puts her hand over her mouth when she giggles, and she keeps her lips closed when she smiles. you'll never see her laughing on a photograph - she's got english teeth just like mine. is she smiling or winceing? i don't know. she used to wear a brace, and now she hates her face.

22/12/22 - I will follow Hen Ogledd anywhere they go. As a matter of fact, I will follow half of Hen Ogledd anywhere they go. These are beautiful, dark, brooding songs. They sound awesome heard with undivided attention, and are also turning out to be great accompaniment to a reread of Ursula Le Guin's Malafrena. Grain Sparrow
