Music today is track 6 from Noctorum’s Sparks Lane, arriving next weekend, June 12th, RSD Drops, on vinyl in a gatefold cover. This strange track, Ask Again, was supposed to be as unnerving as it sounds. It’s a monologue involving someone who is lost and is trying to get directions until they finally get a warning.

Song Of The Daze

ASK AGAIN

Turn left at the traffic lights
Opposite the swimming baths
Drive about 200 yards
You’ll see a garage on your right
When you get there ask again
Glad to be of use to you

Right out of the courtyard
To the second zebra crossing
You’ll see an Indian restaurant
“The ‘Something’ Of Bengali”
When you get there ask again
Glad to be of use to you

I’m sorry I’m not local
I’m here to see some family
But ask inside the police station
It’s only ’round the corner
You’re going to have to ask again
But glad to be of use to you

Sorry sir the Sergeant’s sick
I’m up from London, training
Try the chemist down the road
Being here is draining
You’re going to have to ask again
But glad to be of use to you

Just beyond the alleyway
You’ll see another cobbled lane
Turn down there you should fit through
But then you’ll have to ask again
Then you’ll have to ask again
Glad to be of use to you
Glad to be of use to you

Reverse your car back down the hill
But watch out for the roadworks there
Someone died under a truck
A nasty little accident
When you get there ask again
But glad to be of use to you

Excuse me sir you can’t park here
It’s dangerous for strangers
Somebody will drag you out
Violence is everywhere
Whatever happens don’t ask again

Don’t ask again
Glad to be of use to you
Don’t ask again
