quan - a tale of two mcs lyrics
[verse 1]
in a dark vaporous hole, one dark vaporous night
i craned round a pole to watch a microphone fight
a young mc lurked in the murk of the wings
his heart’s fear fast to destiny clings
his tongue held at bay by the cage of his face
with a start it unlocked and the tongue did escape
unleashed it began in a furious dance
to unfurl its affection on the thing in his hands
as it l!cked and it pr+cked with a charmless affront
at his prize as it kicked at the noose of his thumb
i was lost as to what might be gained from his rant
its tenuous plot bound by nothing but can’t
for his flow to be fair i cared barely a f+ck
though by virtue most rare i was vеrily struck
dumb. there in awe i stood trеmbling, thrilled
each desires accord assembled then filled
from her face held to whisper by silvery veil
wandered grace down her spine to the rope of a tail
by her torso borne up in a skimmer of chrome
was my eye made corrupt and then glimmered with hope
such jealous invention my eye did then mould
as it watched his pretence i was dreamed his cuckold
and rued him and loathed each attempt he did make
to woo her with prose till no more i could take
i rushed then the stage my purpose to match
his verse with my own, in surprise his eyes waxed
from my lungs did i lunged with an amorous fury
my tongue made his judge and unanimous jury
to unfaltering blows the knave did then yield
my heart’s true resolve on sanguineous field
and arm bathed in arm from the club did abscond
we, new lovers swathed in our cardinal bond
[chorus]
love is a tale strange but true
you woo fate then fate woos you
hearts of furious fancies best be brave
love’s labours lame the nimblest of knaves
love is a tale strange but true
you woo fate then fate woos you
hearts of furious fancies best be brave
love’s labours lame the nimblest of knaves
[verse 2]
to us so familiar and to others romance
doth grant to all lovers cartographers hands
and with them draw covers and eyelids alike
to close inside cupboards of lover’s delight
in short we were mapped but one season from met
and joyously rapt in our conjugal bed
the result of our rapture, three delicate joys
one microphone girl and two turntable boys
‘pon the boys my wife did most loyally dote
but the joys of our daughter did i royally tote
borne aloft as the crest of my proud heart’s dominion
and be worn on my chest could no louder opinion
i’d compare her to nothing for what words could compare
be they seasoned, conditioned or reason impaired
in their thousands they fell ere the breach of my mouth
as they reached lost resolve and impeached to a rout
and thus routed retreated in soundless omission
by silence defeated and bound in perdition
of idolatrous care and censored direction
the patriarch’s heir is a house of deception
within thee a contagion of hormones did bloom
and to fatherly nostrums resistant soon grew
‘fore long teenaged love volatised and diffused
as the redolent vapours of blossoming youth
so as kodiak bear reaps the quick seething brook
i sn+tched unaware the hapless chinook
but a joyless task set ’tis to chastise and geld
by nature not spite was my practice impelled
saw i not one pass by my vigilant guard
but passed one who was veiled by some fell espionage
in the woods of her lungs, round the skirts of her heart
did he base his campaign and besiege its ramparts
[chorus]
love is a tale strange but true
you woo fate then fate woos you
hearts of furious fancies best be brave
love’s labours lame the nimblest of knaves
love is a tale strange but true
you woo fate then fate woos you
hearts of furious fancies best be brave
love’s labours lame the nimblest of knaves
[verse 3]
sailed i through this realm from my flesh and blood formed
proudly helmed without cause to fear veering from course
yet the landscape beneath cloaked in dark undulation
lay covert to my eyes as your heart’s tribulation
for your heart all the while i believed well aligned
was beguiled by another and to me grew malign
and your mouth with it’s secret devotedly swallowed
through innocence sinned did abet and then followed
a gentleman with far from gentle intentions
envenomed by wit masked as true love’s convention
though wit born of vengeance plans dastardly crimes
all crime’s vain attention soon lapses with time
in the lace of these errors his face there uncovered
and there within base fears and nightmares another
of fates twisted plots did insist i rejoin
the mc from whom my wife’s heart was purloined
ah betrayal, as the moon betrays the sun as he sleeps
draws blood tides in all that drowns cool thought with heat
and with heat in our mettle our thoughts wrought cruel acts
that once cooled and settled do histories foul wax
blood made lubricious by summery revenge
soon becomes viscous by hate’s winter end
then freezes to standstill and paints where it glues
a portrait of murder in blazoning hues
though my two hands but once slew were two lives at once slain
slew in vengeance false love then in true love disdain
and what virtue remains? love by vengeance betrayed
is but tears to stop dust at the foot of a grave
now all good intentions have evil become
what good wrought by vengeance ere long is undone
so to cease this repentance cum cold epitaph
i serve out this sentence and end it at last
