Lyrics below. I was actually listening to this the other night.

Still Life In Mobile Homes - Japan (David Sylvian)

Sometimes the comfort of a room
Sometimes I'm quite alone
I pack to leave a foreign town
It seems I'll never know

But I'll rent new accomodation
We'll make plans for mobile homes

Slow boats moving with the tide
Drifting far from shore
It's the nature of this country life
I've never known before
Still we'll make plans for buildings and houses
From mobile homes

Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes

The sound of wildlife fills the air
So calm and dry
The bushland burns in this southern heart
Like an open fire

Still we'll make plans for buildings and houses
From mobile homes...mobile homes

Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
Blood life
My life
Still life in mobile homes

A voice screams from heaven
As we start to sail
It's the calling of the fatherland
I used to know so well

But our age new accomodation
Will make plans for mobile homes

PLant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes
Plant life
My life
Still life in mobile homes

I've not read much sci-fi since I was about 16 and am not familiar
with Rankin's work. Nor with fellating Beetles...

I think I picked a bad analogy..
More like 'Sex & Drugs & Sausage Rolls' or 'Waiting for
Godalming'. Most certainly not Sci-Fi or fantasy. A
surreal crime caper perhaps?

Nothing wrong with that!

I loved doing "donuts" in the snow in a Volkswagen Beetle (spun like a
top), but going for any kind of sexual intercourse in those days (including
Fellatio) had to do with having a gas heater in a version that was a
"station vagen!"

Rebuilding an old bike, but would toss it aside to own and restore a Beetle,
or anything of it's like from those days.
