about

Roky Erikson has always been a big inspiration. He did "I have always been here before" I thought he was limiting things to the present. .... I wanted to stretch out my dominion into the future and the past.I was bagging my nephew and his mate about being inside playing computer games, telling them they should get outside, with a ball or something. The little 9 yr old held up his hand and said, "CEASE MORTAL!" . That's how the song begins.
Mark on piano, Clare on drums and me on bass and acoustic. From the same one night session that saw four tracks emerge. Again, I sent the rough mix to Warren Ellis in Paris and he put down some flute.

lyrics

I am beyond you! mortal! I am beyond reach! jump!
run after my trail!
I'll double back and follow you
let you find me!
don't be silly! I will have always been here before
no matter how you travel…where you go
how hard you try to beat me to the punch
I will have always been here before
ta ra babe ….. ta ra pal…………oorooo squire
see ya……… on the other side
one day you'll see… I will have always been here before
then you will know me now
until then my love, I wait at the end of the road
the way is dark and the night is long etc etc
you will come to a forest clearing you will see me then now
you will see me now then
I will have always been here before I will be folding a mirror…infinitely
in such a studied way
I must have done it a thousand times before
