Doors open at four
I shall ride the carousel (http://images.google.com/images?q=central+park+carousel&svnum=10&um=1&hl=en)
Hours left to kill

[King of Snake]

bravo!

(ten letter rule)

[big screen satellite]

well done stimp and jas
the 'world will be proud of you
hope they write you back

[Jason Roth]

afterparty plans
wonder where the boys will be
must keep it going

[holden]

the new york nightfall
filled by sounds lush and loud from
underworld's machines

[potatobroth]

necessary change
darktrain replaces dirty
porn site blocked at work

[BeautifulBurnout]

london beckons us
beats drop like leaves - the roundhouse
three dirty fall nights

I think I have answered my own question - 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllabuls?

Yep!

In it's purest form it ought to have some reference to a season in it or something seasonal.

hahahah ! perfect!

[crazysugarboy]

ok, my first attempt - it's a bit literall rather than lyrical

"this coming autumn
underworld heal and restore
with their banging beats"

[crazysugarboy]

The "banging beats" is a paraphrase from the Phil Jupitous/6music interview (I love the bit when phil asks karl re the sunshine soundtrack "is he [Danny Boyle] allowing you to bang?" Anyway, new version reads:

"This coming autumn
underworld heals and restores
with beautiful beats"

Btw, this is a truly lovely thread, and very much in keeping with the spirit of u/w i.e they are highly creative ppl, with the tomato project, and the daily links to artistic/design thingeys

[the mongoose]

oblivion leak
beautiful music for us
please before autumn

;)

[Bargo]

Hello Karl and Rick,
please bring your sweet sounds back to
Australia soon
;)

or maybe

I simply can't wait
for Oblivion with Bells
roll on october!!

[stimpee]

Karl give me guest list
for the sold out london shows
I left it too late

[big screen satellite]

Karl give me guest list

[crazysugarboy]

Bored at work, so have thought of another:

"First song crocodile
hints at dazzling things to come
when golden leaves fall"

[spacejunk]

Sunrise, overwhelmed
Underworld (heavenly hell)
Ring in those sweet bells

[potatobroth]

a season of change
emerson becomes pricey
always a darren

[Jason Roth]

Yannick likes the rum
Slamming down glass after glass
Where's the hot dog man?

[stimpee]

Yannick likes the rum
Slamming down glass after glass
Where's the hot dog man?Stimpee likes rum too
Cant wait for Yannick to come
so that we can drink

[BrotherLovesDub]

Spoonman and Luetin
San Francisco and Red Rocks
Sounds Energy Vibes

[Jason Roth]

Stimpee likes rum too
Cant wait for Yannick to come
so that we can drink

I drank with him once
He passed out at 8pm
I continued on

[the mongoose]

alcoholic haze
lucky bastards at live shows
you won't recall it

:D

[crazysugarboy]

Lasers paint the air
while underworld rock knebworth
we dance 'till sunrise

Btw I'm loving this thread:) The creative buzz that it is generating is just so .... lovely! And the little poems everyone is writing are such a joy to read. As a bookbinder/conservator by profession it wd be gr8 to put out a mini publication thingey

[crazysugarboy]

This is from a friend of mine, Tim of Witney

music throbbing on
the crowd jumping all as one
never wants the end

[potatobroth]

underworld look out
homeless strays are gathering
outside the window

[TheBang]

Please give to us all
The Sunshine movie soundtrack
I really want it

[the mongoose]

underworld rocks crowds
except ejekt festival
where the crowd rocked back

:p

[ndrwrld]

Toronto requests
that Underworld visits, to
warm our hearts and minds.

[stimpee]

Stimpee tries to see
Underworld on all tour dates
Dies from exhaustion

[potatobroth]

your thin paper wings
floating above Central Park
who will retrieve them?

[crazysugarboy]

postman delivers
in the belly of Saint Paul
today to my flat

[crazysugarboy]

october tryptich
underworld at the roundhouse
throw curve balls and vibe

[potatobroth]

less than one month off
until new york gets to hear
them play two months off

[the mongoose]

I'm a sad panda

We wish "get well soon" to Rick
One more Roundhouse - please"

Two nights at Brixton
Rick, Karl, Darren bring light in
Golden leaves shining

[gillenium]

The future is bright
What will Underworld do next?
Patience is the key

[potatobroth]

gene simmons once said
there is no market for this
cowgirl disagreed

[stimpee]

Haiku's arent as strict
in English as you may have
thought. Read all about it.

karls words still haunt me
despite the lack of new tunes.
post olympics, yes ?

[undarrenworld]

Tin There,
