Hole in the veil

Take it easy
but take it

Veil


January 2011, Exarcheia, Athens

Well, I'm not going to point any moral
I'll leave that for yourself
Maybe you're still walking, you're still talking
You'd like to keep your health
But every time I read the paper
Them old feelings come on
We're waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool says to push on

~ Pete Seeger, "Waist deep in the Big Muddy"

In a box made of pine
lays the sweet love of mine

~ William Elliott Whitmore, "Pine Box"

Little Boxes


January 2011, Exarcheia, Athens

There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same

And now we stare up from our hole
Theme tune in, the credits roll
The story told

~ Fad Gadget, "The box"

The Brownie

January 2011, Exarcheia, Athens

Mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when Daddy comes home
He never gets no rest

'Cause she's playing all night
And the music's all right
Mama's got a squeeze box
Daddy never sleeps at night

~ The Who, "Squeeze Box"

The box of the box


January 2011, Exarcheia, Athens

And then an empty box came floating by
An empty box and I crawled inside
Half in the shadows
Half in the husky moonlight

~ Morphine, "Empty box"

We do not help
But we will betray
And we will not forget

Log V

REINETTE: I have seen the world inside your head and know that all things are possible.

~ "Doctor Who: The Girl in the fireplace"

Log IV


December 2010, Egaleo, Athens

It's in the national anthem
It's in the scurrying roach
It's in the closed partition
'Tween first class and coach
It's in the relentless fever
It's in the lonely room
It's in the hands of fate
And it's in the pharaoh's tomb

~ The Nightwatchmen, "House gone up in flames"

Log III


December 2010, Egaleo, Athens

Sit down by the fire and I'll tell you a story
To send you away to bed
Of the things that are creeping when everyone's sleeping
And you wish you were out here instead
...
Remember this place, it is damp and it's cold
The best place on earth but it's dark and it's old
Lie next to the wall and cover your head
Good night and God bless, now fuck off to bed

~ The Pogues, "Sit down by the fire"

Log II


December 2010, Egaleo, Athens

So why do we go through all of this again?
Your eyes are fluttering, such pretty wings
A moth flying into the same old flame again
It never ends

It takes fighting day and night
to make such a good thing die

~ Arcade Fire, "Old flame"

Log I
