the granite shore – flood of fortune lyrics
[verse 1a]
the dust dies down the hunt moves on
the thundering hooves and the hounds are gone
a pregnant peace descends upon
the blithe bucolic game
[verse 1b]
they sweep past in a swathe of red
you’d swear blind no actual blood was shed
and at the ditch they all stop dead
frozen in mid-frame
[chorus 1]
see them now on chocolate boxes
once they’ve airbrushed out the fox’s flight
quaint honour burning bright
and our time will come again
[verse 2a]
your ‘phone won’t work far from the green
the masts are few and far between
there’s violence felt but seldom seen
so red in tooth and claw
[verse 2b]
so put away the guns and lamps
make sure that there are access ramps
and in case of rising damp
get sandbags for the floor
[chorus 2]
garden gnomes flying aspidistras
dangling rods at their koi mistresses
a pond as small as this
with marvels yet untold
[middle]
look for new names in the churchyard
thousand-year-old yews on guard
the chasm’s short but still as wide
now they all insist on going inside
[chorus 3]
premium rates for the mausoleum
bury them where the poor can’t see them hide
eternally cross-eyed
interred the wrong way round
[chorus 4]
there’s a fibre-optic raceway through which
data’s running pure and true and cold
the tide’s too strong to hold
the flood of fortune down
