lyrics

Don’t zoom right in
Don’t zoom right in
(It’s hideous!)
(What is it?)
Look at my skin!

I’m ugly as sin
My details are crusty
I live in the bin
My trousers are musty

My face is all details
and fishscales and sin
I want no scrutiny
of the skin I’m in

I got so many details
magnify for some fails
I’m a crusty mountain range
from the craggy age

Dinosaur skin
Sandpaper chin
Morning cornflakes
crumbs from the bin

Wrinkle crack moats
On mountain goats
got enough loose skin
to make sails for boats

I’m a crusty loaf
on a rocky coast
I’m a slice of toast
That’s scattered with oats

I’m a hairy coat
In a crumpled tote
Crepe paper potater
A sunken boat

I’m flaky pastry
A dandruff tree
I’m not certain these curtains
Of meat are me

Pinch and zoom
From another room
My skin is worse
Than the mummies tomb

Plaster faster
Texturecaster
Retch disaster
Skinso nastier

MIDDLE 8
When the digital photo was early
The pictures were more blurry
Now that megapixels more
You can count on every pore

about

Jody Barton Copenhagen, Denmark

Jody Barton was born and raised in the UK near London and now lives in Copenhagen. His rowdy and eclectic music calls to mind the post-punk and anarcho folk of Crass, Ian Dury & The Blockheads and just a little bit of Tim Curry. His latest project ‘Morris Maroon & Other Ballads’ is an open-ended work in progress both as a solo live set and recorded album.

Fade to greyhound.
