    Notes

  • Dedication: To David Elliott Gyger, AOM, editor, opera critic - my first mentor, who, when I was young, introduced me to all that is best in traditional American liberal values, arts, thought and manners - and much more. And to Owen Harris, professor, foreign affairs analyst, editor, ambassador, friend and advisor over many years and, together with his wife, Dorothy, charming dinner table companions.

    Cold Light

    by: Pig

    In your cold light I make this gun my lawful wife
    In your cold light I come alive with a stanley knife
    In your cold light I can see right through my life
    Take me my maker
    Got the noose got the neck
    If only I could break her hate her save her
    If only I could break her hate her save her
    >From you
    In your cold light I walk into tinseltown
    In your cold light these sheets are lit with broken hearts
    In your cold light
    I will soon surrender
    Here comes success
    With your fear with your fist and a flick of your wrist
    Here comes a candle to light you to bed
    Here comes a chopper to chop off your head
    Here comes a candle to light you to bed
    Here comes a chopper to chop
    Chop
    Chop off your head
    I'm coming on success
    With your fear with your fist and a flick of your wrist
    Surrender! Surrender! Surrender! Surrender!
    Surrender! Surrender! Surrender!
