Sofa Head (Vivian Stanshall)

Sofa Head believed
that his head was full of hair,
Not like a hamster,
more like arm-chair.

His father said to Sofa Head,
"The sharks of mechanical time
are biting each soft second
as they filter through your mind"

His mother said, to Sofa Head,
"Why do you wear your hair so long?"
And Sofa Head said,
"Kick out the jams, mother!"

And they had marmalade and kicked the pantry out into the street and lived happily ever after. I think that silence is appropriate, and it shall remain appropriate.

His father said to Sofa Head,
"My son, I give to thee
the total of my lifetime's work,
an alcoholic legacy."

"The ballpoint blue of old tattoos,
the shrieks of a drunken whore,
the wine-red stains of open veins,
a squib on the lavatory floor."

And Sofa Head believed
that his head was full of hair,
Not like a hamster, more like arm-chair.
And sofa head was sure
He could pull out more and more and more and more and more and more and more and
