about

Recorded at Mute studios in London, 1994. It was never released to the public or put out on CD or vinyl. Remastered and uploaded here in 2021 in tribute to Mary's death. With the line, "So come on and feel the danger," we imagined this as a James Bond song.

lyrics

Song without Words
by Char Easter
Recorded at Mute records in London UK in 1994

Passing the space of mud beliefs
In quiet recounting
Allegiances a moth
to behold in stable garbling

So come on and feel the danger

And fixed allegiances
To be a crowded beast
With lots of odds and ends
And vision stops to blemish white

So come on and feel the danger
