lyrics

A General chooses the one to be sacrificed.
Banks in goal.
Federicka will cook.
Genevieve will play vibraphone.
Everyone else has the day off.

Banks in goal is the one to be sacrificed.
Federicka will cook the one to be sacrificed once they have been chosen.
Genevieve will play vibraphone for the one to be sacrificed without knowing what is coming,
Or who the General is or was or will be.
Everyone else has the day off.

The General has sacrificed his method of choosing distracted by a sound from the kitchen.
Federicka will cook a piece of something red on their day off.
Genevieve will play vibraphone for everyone. A difficult piece for the average percussionist.
Everyone has sacrificed their day off but chooses not to listen to the sound of difficulty being mastered.
Banks has, as he often has, a day off.

Genevieve chooses to play a tune on the vibraphone that makes everyone weep.
Everyone sacrifices their decorum but it isn’t freely given The vibraphone music insists and keeps on insisting until a general moment of moaning and weeping in pleasure that the General chooses not to observe.
Banks is unaffected. He is in another place choosing new goal posts. He knows or senses that worse is to come.
Federicka cooks hoops and meatballs.

The General is making the ultimate sacrifice by not electing to go public with the way things get done. To let what happens happen.
Banks is back in goal
Federicka waits in the kitchen and sharpens the knives.
Genevieve has the day off so everyone can take a turn at playing something on the vibraphone.

A Secret Wish is still an album I play to this day. It has never waned. I actually think it has got better with age. I'm not a fan generally of live recordings but this is one I love listening to. And Disziplin is on here too. Just as I remember it on The Tube. Who could ask for anything more? Just wish I would have been there but this is the next best thing. ❤ bazgray
