munly and the lupercalians - mahout lyrics

well ben asher give a spyglass
boucher a never+spoken speech
cannonb+lls gave nothing at all
they’s poor on top of cheap
harris give a too+small crown
carved clogs from ichabod
a gift of girl jehu sn+tched back
lessing gave her cattle+prod
mattie give a stop+peg
she’s got a brutal lack of esteem
mull give a big ball of wrong
olazabal’s crate is empty
pellis give a twice+burnt pine
tucker give a bow
gabby always flexing her lips
she’s always good for a blow
they give over all these things
i’m supposed to strap thеm to my flocks
if they found out i wants ‘em for myself
thеy wouldn’t be too shocked
we’ve yet to see the glory of the coming of the lord
but still i send our offering to welcome his return
if we see the glory of the coming of the lord
i hope he brings us offerings upon his return

well now i have heard the people, i have herd the sheep
both march nose to rump, blatting out their bleats
my mind has gone contrary, what’s the use of offerings?
we’ve no little grief from no return, i might just keep all these things
i should nail the birds to tree limbs, i should freeze the fish in forktine
place weighted yokes to still my cattle, strap leaden traces upon my swine
hard being round the thoughts of my flocks, give them a chance to hide
leave them alone thinking, none will return
and if he does he wouldn’t need a ride
them have grim and silent fury, naught wants this sacrifice
i can’t submit to my greedy wants, these flocks all must die

one it ain’t a partridge
two ain’t no turtledoves
three ain’t no frenchy+hens
four…enough of birds and their making love
so five ain’t rings a golden
six ain’t pipers blowing
seven ain’t drummers smacking
eight ain’t maids a milking
nine ain’t ladies dancing and
ten ain’t lords a leaping
he will hunt down those who don’t believe
he will scent them from their offering
i will send my flock to carry these
hope he don’t smell the thoughts that make me reek
