Litany said:Again it happened, many times
Across the oceans wide
and every day was just the same
A penguin suicide
Irene Wilde said:Obviously influenced by Bukowski. Written during Litany's reckless struggle to free her troubled spirit by driving across Mexico in a 1969 VW microbus with a half a dozen Mott the Hoople 8-tracks and a empty bottle of Tequila.
Her hostility toward the penguins (shocking) an allusion to the morning she awoke in a Tijuana brothel, hungover, with no memory of the night before and the taste of vomit in her mouth, someone else's vomit, but bitter just the same.
Freya said:Also, I think Litany is hinting at Irene Wildes demonic persuasion - 'Each clad in red leather' - she may as well have written, 'Irene Wilde runs round breathing fire, with two little horns on her head.'
