Liver & Lights No.s 63 & 64

 English Road Movies  Vols 5 & 6



Liver & Lights No. 63  A Lenzie of the Soul





Liver & Lights.No. 64 Kilfuckingmarnock



A few years ago I published a series  

of miniature books that 

celebrated  some of my deliciously 

small scale adventures on 

British  public transport. 

These were Road Movies so small they 

weren’t even films at all but 

very hand made books with wonky 

bindings and  gluey thumb-prints 

and rubber stamped 

illuminations…

adventures in Brixton, Bromley South, 

Kings Cross and Penge……





I have seen fit  to add a 

further two volumes to this series,

being Road Movies that  dont actually even 

involve any moving at all……….


Liver & Lights No. 63 

 

A Lenzie of the Soul





My mum lived in the  

Glasgow satelite townlet of Lenzie 

for  40 years, right next door  

to the railway station that would have 

carried her into the exciting metropolis 

of Glasgow in 9 minutes flat.

Terrified by the very rumour  of the 

jagged rock tunnel that lay in wait 

before any train  could emerge

  into Queen Street and crippled 

by claustrophobia, 

never once did she set foot on that platform,

 leaving her trapped 

in a 'Lenzie of the Soul’.


 Lavishly illustrated with   

some new drawings and 

some fragments of my mothers life…

Liver & Lights.No. 64

 

Killfuckingmarnock.




  

…is a commemoration of  British 

Saturday evenings 

watching the burbling teleprinter  spraying forth 

the football results  

whilst we hungry kids awaited  our tea 

and the coming of Dr Who. 

Oh, how were ‘transported’  to all those 

mysterious  placenames 

where the beautiful game was played, 

The Thistley Particks, 

the howling Rovers of Raith and, 

as my dad always amusingly pronounced it, 

Kilfuckingmarnock! 

Lovingly illustrated with 8 new 

rubber stamp prints. Eat Killy Pie!
