Nick Silvey and the Satellites

'Are you dead?', she asked.
'I've been gripped by solitude
And once frequented stale rooms,
But I am still alive', I said,
'You've quite clearly been Misled.
I am dead. I laughed.
'I've felt the frozen off-shore breeze
beat against my battered knees,
But now I see the neon gaze
Of the moon!' Yes, I exclaimed.
'I once ambiguously tread
The finest line of daily dread,
But for that, I'm more alive', I said,
'I used to be the one, Misled.'
NICK SILVEY WAS BORN ON THE 3RD DAY OF JANUARY IN THE GLORIOUS YEAR OF '89. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN BORN ON THE FIRST DAY BUT WASN'T QUITE SPECIAL ENOUGH.
HE WRITES SONGS ON THE BACK OF UNOPENED BANK STATEMENTS, THEN SINGS THEM WITH HIS MOUTH.
