The irony was that Madama Subria was always trying to seduce him, rolling her ample Ambossan bottom whenever she passed him in the corridor. He ignored her advances until one day she asked him to repair the wardrobe in the master bedroom, suddenly stripped off her clothes and stood there naked, cupping her enormous breasts which runneth over her hands. He about-turned and walked out without saying a word. He was fit, he was toned, he had a six-pack. He had thick, wavy fair hair and compassionate brown eyes. The message gave me only one hour to get to the disused Paddinto Station and directions on how to find the manhole hidden behind some bushes through which I could slip down into the subway.
He stood next to her, looking so smug, as if he knew the truth, as if the whole whipping spectacle was to punish his wife for her promiscuous ways. As soon as they were further down the avenue, sand kicking up in their wake, I darted out of the alley. I had to get away from these awful people. I stood there, paralysed, peering down the avenue. I knew I was being such a wuss but I couldn’t help it.

Lorde sung a little part of “Take Me Home” by Phil Collins in an interview with Marc Maron, citing it as a song that has inspired her deeply. Lorde has had a long history of showing love for Phil Collins' discography, covering “In The Air Tonight” in the BBC Live Lounge in 2017. Here he was after all these years, staring at me, knowing full well I was where I shouldn’t be and there could be only one reason why. He’d been a big lad, was a big man now, typical of the Ambossans with their long, strong limbs and fierce, powerful bone structure.
Then I saw a thought take shape in his mind. To let me go would be a way to get back at his father. We both knew that I had read him. He smiled quietly and nodded at me, gesturing with his head for me to be on my way. We slaves don’t end relationships. In fact most times we don’t start them either, other people do it for us.
Phil Collins Lyrics
This song is about mental illness and those who suffer from it. The lyrics to the song made a lot of sense once I learned this. "I've been a prisoner all my life" is the confinement which the illness imposes on those who are ill.
Cypress Spring - "Take Me Back" Take me back to them Cotton fields and barb wired fences All the things that I'm missin' Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin' Hit the river and take a dip And I don't know why I wanted to leave... The renown rock singer talks about "The House of the Rising Sun" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood." The Annie Lennox hit "No More I Love You's" is a cover, originally sung by a man.
Take Me Home Oh Lord Lyrics
To get deep into the grooves, she explained, as we hid our venom behind impassive faces. The woman did not have an inner strength which made her powerful, I had long ago realised; rather, she had been given power over us. I wanted to print out the email and rush around showing it to everyone. But no, I had to control myself or I wouldn’t be going anywhere except the gallows or the electric chair. No leniency was shown to those who tried to escape.
There I would be met by a member of the resistance who would lead me through its dank subterranean tunnels. We slaves had to walk everywhere or use bicycles anyway. I used to hope that the celebration of Voodoomass would be the one day off in the year for us slaves. Oh, yes, Bwana trusts me alright.

Just for a moment I saw that self-pitying look of the child I had once been forced to cradle. He’d never been denied anything as a child, ever, and so, as is the way, nothing was ever enough. And I could see he still felt sorry for himself. Bwana disinherited Bamwoze and kicked him out of the house. I don’t know what happened to the girl - dead or in West Japan, probably. We were all filled with a new-found respect for Bamwoze when we discovered he had forfeited his inheritance for a mulatto.
It was always breaking down because of increased demand from escaping slaves wanting to cadge a ride out of the city, to begin the long journey back to the motherland of our dreams - to Europa. Sure, it was a pipe dream for most of us, but it was one which offered an impossible hope that somewhere out there was a place to which we could return, a home. I have always tried to console myself with the fact that, such was the demand for sugar, the price of a sweet tooth was a toothless smile. Such was the demand for sickly sweet coffee that they ended up with an irregular heart beat, osteoporosis and withdrawal headaches.
Such was the demand for rum, extracted from sugarcane, that they ended up with chronic liver disease, alcoholism and permanent memory loss. Such was the demand for tobacco that they ended up with cancer and emphysema. I would be careful, but the Good Lord Above would decide if I made it. Yes, I still held on to my heathen beliefs, even though they ridiculed us as pagans and fantasists. Sure, I’d gone to Voodoo Sunday class.
When he met Delilah DiCrescenzo, Plain White T's lead singer Tom Higgenson told her he'd write a song about her, and came up with the first verse of "Hey There Delilah" on the spot. I think it’s about a guy who doesn’t mind this person. In a 2019 Australian interview, Phil Collins named this song as one of two he enjoys performing live the most. The other was 1993's "Can't Turn Back The Years". Too many images flashed through my mind as I deleted the email and switched off the computer. For the first time since I was taken away I could seriously consider that I might be returning home.
I was drenched and not feeling very brave. I came upon the coffee houses for which Paddinto was famous, many of which had auction blocks. I’d thought they’d be closed today, but to the traders, I guess, wealth was more important than worship. Several were doing business on this most sacred day of the year.
