Bubblegum Buddha

from Deuseaville by Cinque Ports

/

about

Bubblegum Buddha sounds like Dave Brubeck’s Take Five if it was recorded under water, AND with lyrics that effortlessly reference Chick Corea, Hungary losing the 1954 World Cup and an obscure, Slavonic cabaret troupe that played Margate’s Winter Gardens back in the 1920’s. Added to this, Bubblegum Buddha finishes by quixotically tilting out of its laid back jazz tempo into a full-on, furious, fuzz-drenched assault, not entirely unlike the end bit of Talking Heads’ Psycho Killer. Qu'est-ce que c’est, indeed.

lyrics

O parting pink, indigo has got to go
monstrous cabinet, Chick Corea castanets

what was fear is now entitled truth

O to be of use, Bubblegum Buddha has slipped the noose
tied it to my heart, all lovelorn and pulled apart

my favourite frog has flipped his lid for you

gone askew

couldn’t lose

like Hungary in the ’54 final

O sole mio, no more those Winter Gardens
from long ago, summer shows, Kalchinsky Blue

O so blue

does no good

to wrestle with the meaning of it all

and will she call

I don’t know

I never held such lunacy before.
