A Short Term Effect

Movement
No movement
Just a falling bird
Cold as it hits the bleeding ground
He lived and died...
Catch sight
Cover me with earth
Draped in black
Static
White sound

A day without substance
A change of thought
An atmosphere that rots with time
Colours that flicker in water
A short term effect

Scream!
As she tries to push him over
Helpless and sick
With teeth of madness
Jump jump dance and sing
Sideways across the desert
A charcoal face
Bites my hand
Time is sweet
Derange and disengage everything

A day without substance
A change of thought
The atmosphere rots with time
Colours that flicker in water
A short term effect

An echo
And a stranger's hand
A short term effect
An echo
And a stranger's hand
A short term effect

 
Robert on 'A Short Term Effect'...

"When I came across 'The Language of Madness' in a bookshop, I noticed that it had a drawing by a mental patient which looked very like this head (the head found whilst recording the Charlotte Sometimes video in an old asylum), so I bought it. That book has actually inspired some of the lines on the 'pornography' album, especially in a song called 'a short term effect' – “a charcoal face bites my hand” – that was a nightmare that one of the patients had. He would draw people in charcoal and they would come to live in his dreams". (Flexipop 1982)

"Is about a drug and it's effect. Short-term I thought". (Cure News 9 - April 1990)
