Peter Blegvad - Catalogue of Fifteen Objects and Their Titles lyrics

The objects Cylinder of dust Salt cross with a crust of iodine Plank of pine Loaf of rust Hollow cone of tobacco which contains a tin coin Pillar of yeast in linoleum jacket Circular puddle of yogurt and neon Arrow of ice wrapped in surgical gauze Coin stacks, several columns -- voltaic piles of gold-plated bamboo Water in a bakelite box, and a box full of oil A yolk of leather in a tobacco egg Citronella spilled in a spiral upon a blanket of fat Mixture of paregoric and dew in a creosote cone A disc of wicker beside a pill of zinc Figure made of two copper pyramids glued base to base with sap Their titles Silo Referee Threshold (meant to be flat on the floor, part of a door none can see) Altar from a metal cathedral Dunce's trumpet (for V--) Dry cell Lunatic mirror Signal from a memory Ladder of kings Ransom to secure the release of a mother and child October seventh My uncle's monocle Fuel for a tiny machine Two equivalent forms Quote from Swedenborg to the effect that angels f**ing shed light
