Looking For The Truth With A Pin




Last night Jake and I watched a great BBC4 documentary on Ivor Cutler, "Looking for the truth with a pin". I never realised Ivor Cutler worked as a teacher at Summerhill, or was in the Magical Mystery Tour.

It had super footage of Cutler's last concert, plus really interesting interviews with him about the lack of love from his mother.

My favourite was his work "Beautiful Cosmos". Just because a love poem was the last thing I expected.


You are the centre of your little world and I am of mine.
Now and again we meet for tea, we're two of a kind.

This is our universe, cups of tea.

We have a beautiful cosmos,
We have a beautiful cosmos.

What do we talk of whenever we meet? Nothing at all!
You sit with a sandwich I look at a roll.

Sometimes I open my mouth, and shut it.

We have a beautiful cosmos, you and me.
We have a beautiful cosmos.

You are the centre of your little world and I am of mine.
Now and again we meet for tea, we're two of a kind.

This is our universe, cups of tea.

We have a beautiful cosmos, you and me.
We have a beautiful cosmos.


Very good.
