steve harley - 49th parallel lyrics
harley
think i’ll have lines on my face when i get out of this place
so i guess i’ll be ever so careful
it wouldn’t help to deny, i’m well advised to comply
by the rules or be ever so tearful.
i caught a vulture, he came up behind me
i put a chain on his claws
i caught another, been trying to find me
i slit a vein in his jaws
tied the two of them up with guitar strings
only fed them a bone
grinned and put my hands in my pockets
to drift away to a land of my own.
think i’ll have lines on my face when i get out of this place
so i guess i’ll be ever so careful
it wouldn’t help to deny, i’m well advised to comply
by the rules or be ever so tearful.
we played a game of cowards and heroes
we lay the rules on the floor
but then we spoke of flowers and quiros
it ended up in a draw
but all the time they were bound and belittled
i wouldn’t let them go
i only used them for skittles
and drift away to a land of my own.
they were begging over and over
‘if we behave, can we feed?’
began to throw them pieces of clover
and said: ‘now count the leaves’
i realized it was only a battle
and went to look out for the war
my brains began to rattle
and drift away to a land of their own.
