A german girl I was going out with thought this meant either "I don't
know what to say now" or "I don't know what I'm saying".

given the rest of the track and the book, i think "I don't know what
i'm saying" seems to fit in quite nicely: dissolving identity and all
that. Anway, nice one, 'cos that has always been one of those abiding
Hawkmysteries to me (having once sat down with a phonetic
transcription and a gremlin dictionary and got PRECISELY NOWHERE,
it's always been something that bugged me a fair bit too)

on the turner's sax type thread, i have to say that early hawks just
could not be the same w/out it, for all his faults, he helped define
their sound: i can't hear the tubercular elephant on dying seas
without feeling toe-curling pleasure at the sublimity of the 'sound'
(yeah, textures of sound over precise musicianship anytime)
