BOTTOM LINERS
Played by Brian Eno on Charlie Gillett's programme on GLR, 27th November
1999. Transcribed by Kevin Dunnill.
Great lines of numbers
all bright and shiny
all
through the ether
some huge some tiny
all through the ether
from
France to China
unite the people
all bottom liners
Some Brass some Paper
some Gold some Silver
some
full of promise
some full of anger
in ranks of thousands
we fall
and stumble
all bottom liners
we make the numbers
And in the future
in lieu of romance
grenade and
landmine
intwined in silence
in hands that tremble
and lives that
flounder
all bottom liners
all undergrounders
all undergrounders
