Lune Industrial Estate #4: Windowsill

It's a lovely crisp late autumn/early winter day out there, and so back down to the ruins of the industrial estate, this time to a soundtrack of the Arcade Fire.

I don't want to hear the noises on TV
I don't want the salesmen coming after me
I don't want to live in my father's house no more
I don't want it faster, I don't want it free
I don't want to show you what they done to me
I don't want to live in my father's house no more
I don't want to choose black or blue
I don't want to see what they done to you
I don't want to live in my father's house no more

Because the tide is high
And it's rising still
And I don't want to see it at my windowsill

I don't want to give 'em my name and address
I don't want to see what happens next
I don't want to live in my father's house no more
I don't want to live with my father's debt
You can't forgive what you can't forget
I don't want to live in my father's house no more
I don't want to fight in a holy war
I don't want the salesmen knocking at my door
I don't want to live in America no more

Because the tide is high
And it's rising still
And I don't want to see it at my windowsill

MTV, what have you done to me?
Save my soul, set me free!
Set me free! What have you done to me?
I can't breathe, I can't see
World War III, when are you coming for me?
Been kicking up sparks, we set the flames free
The windows are locked now so what'll it be?
A house on fire or a rising sea?

Why is the night so still?
Why did I take the pill?
Because I don't want to see it at my windowsill

I don't want to see it at my windowsill
