[bodytext] => Leather is a dark and dusky colour. A raven-haired, black-eyed colour that could eat the ******** out of a bear. It is the debt-collector’s colour A colour with red ink on the price tag. Leather is the colour of bastinado The hickory oil colour of butwhuppings And of the roof falling in. It is also the back-alley colour of funk-fusion And low-down dirty jam sessions The colour of slurred gut-bucket riffs Smooth and mellow. It is the colour of blues and ragtime and gospel. Punk rock and hip-hop and folk work songs are not leather-coloured styles of popular music. Neither are bubblegum pop or cradlesong lullabies or glitter rock. Leather-coloured music is more jug band and Cajun blues and scat. Leather is a swamp rat with a gris-gris bag.
