about
I was reading an Adbusters and saw a picture of a giant pipe carrying the "good" water through the Mumbai slums up to their affluent neighbours. Imagining what it might be like to hear this water rushing past, but knowing that there are no spigots around...I'm pretty sure I would set out in the dark with a friend or two to swing a hammer and try to snag a glassfull...
lyrics
Every morning, I lay my hand upon that pipe
And it’s worth the walk, ‘coz my water’s not tastin’ right
And I can hear it, feel it rushing past
Through our tin and cardboard houses, to your garden, & gone too fast
From our tin and cardboard houses, we have come to fill a glass
You swing the hammer, I will hold the spike
And lit by a candle we’ll take turns throughout the night
And when this casing breaks, we’ll see,
What the sun looks like through the water in our glass
But you’d better drink it down, because this party will never last
Every morning, I lay my hand upon that pipe
And it fuels the plot that we’ve been watering plants all night
And I can hear it, feel it rushing past
From our tin and cardboard houses, to your garden we’ll come fast
From the safety of your garden, you patch the holes that never last
And it’s worth the walk, ‘coz my water’s not tastin’ right
And I can hear it, feel it rushing past
Through our tin and cardboard houses, to your garden, & gone too fast
From our tin and cardboard houses, we have come to fill a glass
You swing the hammer, I will hold the spike
And lit by a candle we’ll take turns throughout the night
And when this casing breaks, we’ll see,
What the sun looks like through the water in our glass
But you’d better drink it down, because this party will never last
Every morning, I lay my hand upon that pipe
And it fuels the plot that we’ve been watering plants all night
And I can hear it, feel it rushing past
From our tin and cardboard houses, to your garden we’ll come fast
From the safety of your garden, you patch the holes that never last
