David Janssen on the genesis of “Green Candle”:
The title comes from a line in the play Pere Ubu by Alfred Jarry – ‘by my green candle’. I’d heard it on an Open University program and it became a phrase we used on dice evenings.
Brian Poole:
The lyrics were inspired by the writings of Baudelaire...
Green Candle Lyrics
Scheiße, madame
Buy my green candle
Cigarettes in secret societies
Special hides in tin pan alleys
Soroptimistic party places
Winsome folk enjoying the pleasures of...
The street sign's
Ornamental
Green candle
It's a flaming row, sir!
Newspaper functions as library functions
Two characters walking in bi-forked suits
Through the night, night, night...
A night-time's so fit for rising
Beaudelaire's begotten kingdom
Wine-glass tarts and promenaders
The bachelor machine hums into action
Convenience in the 'city room'
The column
The arches
The office
Of the aristo-flanneur
