I'm trying to find the words to the spoken verse parts of the film. They don't appear to be on the Skeleton Tree album. Does anyone know what they are called/if they appear online anywhere? Don't want to have to wait for the DVD ideally to hear/read them again. Thanks

shareOn a somewhat related note, I feel obligated to post this, both because it is a beautiful song, but moreso because it references Steve McQueen.

I still haven't watched the movie, but that poem maybe clarified for me the song "Rings of Saturn" on the new album Skeleton Tree. I think this song is about a housefly, that housefly on the poem.
And he being in that place so so tall (a building in Dubai), alone and shooting, says something about his moment. He gets tired of the heights, he comes back and curl inside his typewriter and meets his best friend fly. Those are the only options, the heights or the interior of a typewriter.
