  • Let Your Feet Do The ThinkingA Number Of Young Lovers

From a live show by A Number of Young Lovers recorded in the living room of 4A Hartington Rd, Brighton, UK.  This first track is called Let Your Feet Do The Thinking, and it is about a girl who was obsessed with two famous quantum physicists.  I was born on the same day in the same hospital as her.  The two physicists were fantastically intellectual, but failed to reconcile their personal differences when they might have quite easily done so.  In the end, the girl ran away and we never saw her again.

Lyrics

I’ve never

seen you as

angry with

anyone

as you were with

Heisenberg that night.

Though their handedness

paired perfectly

their innermost

ghosts chose

to keep themselves hidden.

Great minds

are dubious assests.

Idiot hearts

can break down a marriage.

Your mother said

if she could

spit well

his mother would

be her first target.

Her hands rest

on the handlebars,

the test left

her head starved,

her feet got to moving.

Let your feet do the thinking.

Some things

are so serious

that one can

only joke about them.
