On y était arrivé par là — cover, (MBV — My Bloody Valentine) :
: « Map Ref. 41° N 93°W »
Et on était rentrés dans le territoire de — Wire (1979, album 154) :
« An unseen ruler defines with geometry, An unrulable expanse of geography, An aerial photographer over-exposed To the cartologist’s 2D images knows. The areas where the water flowed, So petrified, the landscape grows. Straining eyes try to understand The works, incessantly in hand, – The carving and paring of the land, The quarter square, the graph divides ; Beneath the rule a country hides
[Chorus] Interrupting my train of thought Lines of longitude and latitude Define and refine my altitude
The curtain’s undrawn, Harness fitted, no escape ; Common and peaceful, duck, flat, lowland, Landscape, canal, canard, water coloured
Crystal palaces for floral kings, A well-known waving span of wings Witness the sinking of the sun, A deep breath of submission has begun.
… Interrupting my train of thought Lines of longitude and latitude Define and refine my altitude. »
Et dire que c’est ça/là… :
Interrupting my train of thought, lines….
