the fall - the jawbone and the air rifle lyrics
[verse 1]
the rabbit k!ller left his home for the clough
and said goodbye to his infertile spouse
carried air rifle and firm stock of wood
carried night-site telescope light
[verse 2]
a cemetery overlooked clough valley of mud
and the grave-keeper was out on his rounds
yellow-white shirt buried in duffle coat hood
keeping edges out with mosaic color stones
[chorus]
jawbone and the air rifle
who would think they would bring harm?
jawbone and the air rifle
one is cursed and one is borne
[verse 3]
the air rifle lets out a mis-placed shot
it smashed a chip off a valued tomb
grave-keeper tending wreath-roots said
“explain, move into the light of the moon”
“i thought you were rabbit prey, or a loose s-x criminal”
[verse 4]
rifleman he say “y’see i get no kicks anymore
from wife or children four
there’s been no war for forty years
and getting drunk fills me with guilt
so after eight, i prowl the hills
eleven o’clock, i’m too tired to f-ck
y’see i’ve been laid off work”
[verse 4]
the grave-keeper said
“you’re out of luck
and here is a jawbone caked in muck
carries the germ of a curse
of the broken brothers pentacle church
formed on a scotch island
to make you a bit of a man”
[chorus]
jawbone and the air rifle
who would think they would bring harm?
jawbone and the air rifle
one is cursed and one is warm
[verse 5]
the rabbit k!ller did not eat for a week
and no way he can look at meat
no bottle has he anymore
it could be his mangled t–th
he sees jawbones on the street
advertis-m-nts become carnivores
and roadworkers turn into jawbones
and he has visions of islands, heavily covered in slime
the villagers dance round pre-fabs
and laugh through twisted mouths
don’t eat
it’s disallowed
suck on marrowbones and energy from the mainland
[chorus]
jawbone and the air rifle
who would think they would bring harm?
jawbone and the air rifle
one is cursed and one is gone
