79a Pitfield St, London N1 6BT
Saturday 19th October 6pm and on into the month 24hrs on the street
DO YOU STILL KNOW THE SCORE?
This new sound rises and rises day by night in my ears
The notes don’t make sense and the rhythm is all out of step
The melody is absent chords clash the tone is all wrong
And yet the hardcore symphony just builds and builds
Filling the city with adrenaline and my heart with unstoppable wonder
I can’t stop listening, trying to make sense, hoping I will tune in
And out on the streets all previous imagery crumbles
Advertising hoardings disintegrate, street signs disappear
As if we all know you can’t depend on words and logos no more
Now the great lie is being seen through a hardcore symphony rises
Filling the city with adrenaline and my heart with unstoppable wonder
I can’t stop looking, trying to make sense, hoping I will decipher soon
And through the gnarled surface new forms take shape
Hints of a cosmos, clues to worlds we might inhabit now this one is done
It is everywhere this dirty brutal unformed hardcore symphony
Forcing through the decay rising up out of capitalism’s death throes
Filling the city with adrenaline and my heart with unstoppable wonder
I can’t stop touching, trying to feel something, hoping I will make sense soon
