screed – magna carta lyrics

Loading...

missing you my once close friend
i wonder how you’ve been
still on an island?
we are all islands…

…after all, this talk of continents;
this fissure’s unlinked everything
we’re on an island
i am an island

i’ve always felt alone in this
whatever john donne said
about how “no man is”;
i have an island for a head

been missing you my absent friend
but i’m not so far from it
still on an island
or with an island between us

for all this talk of continents
we’ve not got anywhere
anywhere at all

and this fissure’s opening my head
so schizophrenic
suppose post structuralists agree
we can the differences
these locks and keys all start to bleed
to keys and legends
from there to legends and myths
and there it goes again

along at runnymede
sped down the ridge we’d never been, before
falling fast into ravine
alone, and unknown

and i ripped the magna carta to shreds
in civil unrest, so much cause to resent you
john lackland, and…

the serfs have all revolted
sworn minced oaths under your breaths
not so glorious amends now for your england

(bridge)

and i ripped the magna carta to shreds
in civil unrest
so much cause to resent you
john lackland
and i ripped the magna carta to shreds
and couldn’t care less;
and couldn’t care less
and all along at runnymede
sing, “down with the reign of the angevin!”
past this flank of evergreens
we know, we’re alone

and i ripped the magna carta to shreds
in civil unrest
so much cause to resent you
john lackland

broke the royal seal like bread
and scattered pages to the wind
couldn’t stand to represent
your f+cking elgar piece
