Name: Nailed
Duration: P00H06M04S
Description: This was written as a poem many years ago. Hugh stumbled across it and provided a setting. It seemed to say something connected with lockdown but wasn’t quite right. At this point we changed the subject from I to We and it all came together. The two texts about Jesus Christ and wood panelling come from Wikipedia and a website about decorating.

about

This was written as a poem many years ago. Hugh stumbled across it and provided a setting. It seemed to say something connected with lockdown but wasn’t quite right. At this point we changed the subject from I to We and it all came together. The two texts about Jesus Christ and wood panelling come from Wikipedia and a website about decorating.

lyrics

Here we are Nailed down like floorboards, Tongued and grooved and slotted into our neighbours As our nearest neighbour is slotted into us, As if engaged in some strange sort of intercourse together, making a floor. The nails are driven deep through us At regular intervals, deep into the joists below. It’s impossible to get us up Without ripping up some of our neighbours, Without smashing off our tongues. Only the nails make us like Jesus.
