Third Uncle - Brian Eno

[BootinUp]

There are tins, there was pork
There are legs, there are sharks
There was John, there are cliffs
There was mother, there's a poker
There was you
Then there was you
There are scenes, there are blues
There are boots, there are shoes
There are Turks, there are fools
They're in lockers, they're in schools
There is you
Then there was you
I'll burn my fingers, burn my toes
Burn my uncle, burn his books
Burn his shoes, cook the leather
Put it on me, does it fit me or you?
It looks tight on you
Burn my fingers, burn my toes
Burn my uncle, burn his books
Burn his shoes, cook the leather
Put it on me, does it fit me or you?
It looks tight on you
There are tins, there was pork
There are legs, there are sharks
There was John, there are cliffs
There was mother, there's a poker
There was you
Then there was you
There are scenes, there are blues
There are boots, there are shoes
There are Turks, there are fools
They're in lockers, they're in schools
There was you
Then there was you
I'll burn my fingers, burn my toes
Burn my uncle, burn his books
Burn his shoes, cook the leather
Put it on me, does it fit me or you?
It looks tight on you
There are tins, there was pork
There are legs, there are sharks
There was John, there are cliffs
There was mother, there's a poker
There was you
Then there was you
There are scenes, there are blues
There are boots, there are shoes
There are Turks, there are fools
They're in lockers, they're in schools
There was you

1. Off His 2nd Album IIRC

Sounds like Phil Manzanera on guitar. Phil's playing had that "Frippish" character in those days.

2. Ah yes, Taking Tiger Mountain (by Strategy) is an amazing album!

Thank you for including the lyrics Bootin Up - going the extra mile!

We didn't have them available back in the day, although on that path lies many a theory as to the "plot" if indeed there is one.
or more a set of vignettes inspired by old communist propaganda as filtered through an English art school brain.
