the divine comedy - the parley lyrics
a little older they may be but we’re in numbers greater
let’s have a parley first and we can always fight them later
“a parley? what’s the use in that?” the houseboat man’s got swallows
let’s go and make him give it back, we’ll parley you tomorrow
parley, parley
maybe we can talk this through
with a parley, a parley
talk with me, i’ll talk with you
why that unfriendly native, hah! it wasn’t him what did it
we made off with your puny craft and in our harbour hid it
it’s not your harbour and besides it’s not much good to you now
the harbour lies behind our lines so warships, we’ve got two now
parley, parley
maybe we can talk this through
with a parley, a parley
talk with me, i’ll talk with you
your arrows of green feather no doubt given to you by
that rotter from the houseboat so you must be on his side
we took them as our trophies, aye, we wrenched them from his grip
he just used them to clean his pipe so we pinched them from his ship
let’s have a parley, a parley
maybe we can talk this through
with a parley, a parley
talk with me, i’ll talk with you
it seems we’re all on the same side so what’s the good in fighting?
our purposes are intertwined, we’re better off uniting
but tell me, why did you come to our island anyway?
“our island? this is our camp, this is our island, we’ve been coming here for years
we marked the harbour, built the fireplace with our own blood, sweat and tears”
oh… parley then
parley, parley
maybe we can talk this through
with a parley, a parley
talk with me, i’ll talk with you
parley, parley
maybe we can talk this through
with a parley, a parley
talk with me, i’ll talk with you (talk with you)
