john greaves, peter blegvad, lisa herman - twenty-two proverbs lyrics

would ye both eat your cake and have your cake?
would ye break a b-tterfly upon the wheel?
he who sows wind will reap a tempest
milk the mosquito to serve your king
to cut into another man’s ear is like cutting into a felt hat
she is neither fish nor flesh nor good red herring

names are not the pledge for things, but things for names
one should write bad things on running water
a drowning man would catch at razors
but coupled sheep drown one another
one may well be too young to marry, but one is never too old to love
treat your friend as if he will one day be your enemy
and your enemy as if he will one day become your friend
herring in the land, the doctor at a stand
dead as a doornail

a single hair casts its shadow on the ground
what have i to do with bradshaw’s windmill?
better to live one day as a lion than live a hundred years as a sheep
the stone that the builders rejected has become the corner stone
the stone that everybody spits upon will be wet at last
a cat may look at a king
by night all cats are grey
the pen of the tongue should be dipped into the inkwell of the heart
the pen of the tongue should be dipped into… (fade)
