You asked me up for lunch
To Brooklands House
You said
Ennui is plastic
But I love plastic
And I enjoy entertaining
A mouse
Was it not the sandstone frontage
Before which we stood alone?
Was it not your frightened eyes
Which upon me shone?
How can I miss you
I did not kiss you?
Ceremony of love
Begin
Lovers in funny strides
Make me an assignation
With a joy ride
Don't know much about tenderness
Don't know much about the way you are
Take me Back to the Brooklands
Take me back to it all
I love you in funny strides
An all night assignation
Worth a joy ride
Don't know much about slenderness
Don't know much about the way you are
Take me Back to the Brooklands
Take me back to it all
Ceremony of love

In your alligator shoes
It will be your salvation
And if I could be those shoes
It would be a revelation
There's something
In the blue of your eyes
Leaves me perpetually adoring you
In your alligator shoes
I sway towards a swamp
You asked me why I loved you
Something in the blue of your eyes
Leaves me
Perpetually
Sometimes
Perpetually adoring you
Your psychosomania
In time comes
Psychosomania
A swift on the coast
A comfort to me
Swift on the coast

Will you dream about me
The way I dream about you
Walking into the light
Lead me from the hive
Oh what it is to be alive
Take me with you
To unusual places to drive
If you can't love her madly
You can't love her madly
Better not love her at all
Will you dream about me
The way I dream about you
Walking into the light
Lead me from the hive
Oh what it is to be alive
Take me with you
To unusual places to drive

Heavy Traffic
Motorcade
You will drink
A provincial song
Sea of drizzle
And it’s fallng
In different parts of the world
Funny Letter
To a friend
Down on a bended knee
Down on your sympathy
Yet you glistened some for me
Would not his handsome face
Create havoc in a young person’s heart
Would not his pretty shades
Force an entry in such a person’s heart
Entwined with strife
In the guest bedroom
He’ll paint for you
If you sing his tune
You wear the yellow buskin
Of youth so good
So good
Egon Schiele
Lake of swans
Up on the high esteem
Silken ladder
Smoky room
High on the gasoline
Low on the self-esteem
You may run such a movie
Mr Whistler
On the Thames
In search of a magazine
Yellow buskin
Silk brocade
Arrangements in black & gold

John Douglas (2023)
by John Douglas
supported by 16 fans who also own “The Unusual Places To Drive EP”
An album of intimate beauty from John of The Trashcan Sinatras. It's the sort of album that works a special kind of magic: upon listening, it seems that lights dim and we are drinking wine sometime after dark and before light. These songs feel like communion with a part of the listener that the world might not always welcome.....the quiet, reflective part. It's gorgeous. Thank you John.
