My Little Basquiat Lyrics
My little boy on the kitchen floor
(my little Basquiat)
Stick men fighting stick dinosaurs
(my little Basquiat)
Colours leaping all over the mat
(my little Basquiat)
The kitchen floor is where it's at
for my little Basquiat
One day he'll be golden, maybe chosen
Perhaps to lead
One day he'll be shaken, maybe taken
Perhaps to bleed
My big girl swinging from the bars
(my little Comaneci)
Fist of stone flying about the yard
(my little Comaneci)
Halfway up is halfway down
(my little Comaneci)
Or maybe it's the other way around
for my little Comaneci
One day she'll be moonlight, maybe too bright
Perhaps to shine
One day she'll be found out, maybe ground out
Perhaps she'll cry
(guitar solo)
My little girl on her mother's lap
(my little Panchen Llama)
Sucking on her fingers surveying the road map
(my little Panchen Llama)
Seems to be the only one around
(my little Panchen Llama)
That sees the red lights at the end of town
my little Panchen Llama
One day they'll be older, maybe bolder
Perhaps than me
One day they'll be rising, maybe living
Perhaps in peace
One day they'll be older, maybe bolder
Perhaps than me
One day they'll be rising, maybe living
Perhaps in peace
Perhaps in peace
Perhaps in peace
Perhaps in
peace
(my little Basquiat)
Stick men fighting stick dinosaurs
(my little Basquiat)
Colours leaping all over the mat
(my little Basquiat)
The kitchen floor is where it's at
for my little Basquiat
Perhaps to lead
One day he'll be shaken, maybe taken
Perhaps to bleed
(my little Comaneci)
Fist of stone flying about the yard
(my little Comaneci)
Halfway up is halfway down
(my little Comaneci)
Or maybe it's the other way around
for my little Comaneci
Perhaps to shine
One day she'll be found out, maybe ground out
Perhaps she'll cry
(my little Panchen Llama)
Sucking on her fingers surveying the road map
(my little Panchen Llama)
Seems to be the only one around
(my little Panchen Llama)
That sees the red lights at the end of town
my little Panchen Llama
Perhaps than me
One day they'll be rising, maybe living
Perhaps in peace
Perhaps than me
One day they'll be rising, maybe living
Perhaps in peace
Perhaps in peace
Perhaps in
peace

I'm surprised nobody has commented on this song. Perhaps it's because it's a bit different from the older CJ songs. Anyway, I love this song. It has interesting lyrics that seem to be about the various paths that a child can take and what lies in his her future. I don't know what "basquiat" or "comaniche" mean, but I assume they are colloquial terms in Canada. I looked them up, but could not find anything. In any event, this song has an edge to it unlike much of the CJ songs. It is haunting and a little sinister sounding, but yet Margo sings about children and their future. I wish more CJ songs were in this vein. If you like this you will like Mountain and It Doesn't Really Matter Anyway on this album (At The End of Paths Taken). A great song that I can't stop playing.
