lirik lagu tism - suspected illegal entry vessel 915 (the ballad of jen and steve)
[spoken word]
suspected illegal entry vessel 915, or, the ballad of jen and steve
the last boat on the last day sailed out of bengal bay
on the 21st of may into the election’s fray
“here they come,” the pm roared, “all the nasty foreign horde”
on that fire, petrol poured, all past secrecy, a fraud
and i had been a willing dupe, knew we’d locked up age and youth
but too afraid to face the truth, “hide from me”, i thought, “the proof”
then lakshmi moved in next door, with vishnu from bangalore
great couple, though wasn’t sure that i’d want too many more
but steve said, “jen, let’s both be brave, we can’t live like in a cave
next time at the shop ‘n’ save, give lakshmi a little wave”
and one night of diwali, house lit up like a chrissy tree
they bought sweets for steve and me, wished us both prosperity
“oh, that’s sweet”, on honey fed and something else fleshy red
i said to steve, “let’s to bed, this has gone straight to my head”
and like some hidden flower, passion for one sweet hour
bloomed in our sacred bower, blessed by some higher power
and then i slept and dreamt of stars, wild things, spectacular
saw the milky way afar collide with andromeda
saw a fire spread about all the nation and in the route
“this country’s toast!” came the shout, tony abbott’s first boat out
and everything to chaos grows, birth and death, to me it’s close
the universe did disclose, i saw it end, felt its throes
dearest jesus shelters souls in the end times, so we’re told
all that now seems old, old, old, i saw universal cold
here we live, a fragile spark between eons of the dark
earth our temporary arc, ’round us circling, the shark
ah, then i woke next morning early and saw lakshmi, she waved her hand
smiled as if it’s all been planned, and now only this i understand
all to each should precious be, praise we ought to give beauty
kindness is what sets us free and love our only duty
