about

The title was inspired by the following cocktail prepared for Georgia and I while we were working on this song by the excellent Jack Turner, chief bartender at the Void Bar at Mona.

Garibaldi

Campari, sugar syrup (2:1) and whipped orange juice

Serve in a highball

Top with orange wedge

lyrics

Garibaldi
Georgia Knight & Ben Salter
2021

Staring at a hook in the wall
Growing kind of bored of it all
My mouth tasting of tar

A thousand kicks and punches
A hundred gala lunches
And now we’re sitting in the car

Bloom & Brine, Spume & spine
Don’t tell your dreams to anybody
Fall away, From the inside
Now I’m floating, Now I’m free

A new face on the poetry scene
Half the class are pastoralists
The other half are local people

A damaged reputation
An elaborate fabrication
Gather all the facts
Take it to the bodily max

From my hair, To my hide
Every part of me, Is so holy
Fall away, From the inside
Now I’m floating, Now I’m free

I just want you to be happy
And I want to be happy too

Bloom & Brine, Spume & spine
Don’t tell your dreams to anybody
Fall away, From the inside
Now I’m floating, Now I’m free

From my hair, To my hide
Every part of me, Is so holy
Garibaldi united Italy
But I’m so divided
So misguided
