Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians - Element of Light (1986)
The little boy walked slowly out onto the porch, morning summer sun just touching the dew on the painted wooden pillars and rails, catching each drop just so, revealing a hidden pattern that the three year-old instantly comprehended and understand. Feeling suddenly older but thankfully not wiser, he spread his strong young arms and with a single flap lifted himself into the warm air, steering his course through the tops of the oaks and elms and pines and trees he'd never know the names of as he headed due west in a perfectly straight and flat line. Eventually, unforgiving to the curvature of the Earth, he would leave the atmosphere forever, heading home for good.

Great post! Great site! I just saw Robin and The Venus 3 last night--awesome show. If you get a chance to see them on this tour, by all means do. I've seen Hitchcock several times and this was the best ever.
Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. I got to see Robyn three times in the 80s luckily, but not since. Live too far from civilization for that too happen now. I've got more to share and sometime soon I'm gonna open up my "live" vault and start sharing that too.
