about

Written in 2009, It Seems I Prefer To is the optimistic opening track to Moon Window.

lyrics

it seems I prefer to be sung in and woven,
it's the nicest a body comes to from all those deeps.
and it's the craziest thing darling how we can be so
intense with our colours, those ones that we sing
from those deeps.

and it curls out, but we can't be bothered with
those funny things.
we just laugh past, turn and blink. we yelp right
past, don't let it sink.

we're sounds from the thorax, breathe my diaphragm out;
we are slippers and stocking from the deepest voice:
says we just puppets and threads held by puppets
with strings and all the paths that we breathe through
we'll take as our colours sing in the pictures weaved out,
that we weave out.

but now all funny things are laughing at our silly strings
and the last laugh comes from somewhere way too low
down under me, just way to go,
it's fun to sing.
and our fingers, seems to be, are weaving with a tapestry.
