Third Uncle Lyrics
There are tins
There was pork
There are legs
There are sharks
There was John
There are cliffs
There was Mother
There's a poker
There was you
And then there was you.
There are scenes
There are blues
There are boots
There are shoes
There are Turks
There are fools
They're in lockers
They're in schools
There was you
And then there was you.
I'll
Burn my fingers
Burn my toes
Burn my uncle
Burn his books
Burn his shoes
Cook the leather
Does it fit me
Or you?
It looks tight on you.

Burn my toes
Burn my uncle
Burn his books
Burn his shoes

that's Phil Manzanera.
I think after "cook the leather" he says "put it on" and then "does it fit me or you"
Excellent guitar work on this song.
that's Phil Manzanera.
Compare these lyrics with his [much later] song "This". I'd say Brian did some growing up in the interim.
I played this one time for someone and they didn’t like it all. I was so confused. To me this is so obviously interesting and fun to listen to, not to mention cool. I wish Brian Eno had done more music like this instead of all that ambient stuff.
