The Fall Jawbone and the Air-Rifle歌词


2024-11-17 11:21

The rabbit killer 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


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


Jawbone and the air rifle
Who would think they would bring harm? 
Jawbone and the air rifle
One is cursed and one is borne


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 sex criminal


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 tired to fuck
Y’see I’ve been laid off work


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


Jawbone and the air rifle
Who would think they would bring harm? 
Jawbone and the air rifle
One is cursed and one is warm


The rabbit killer did not eat for a week
And no way he can look at meat
No bottle has he anymore
It could be his mangled teeth
He sees jawbones on the street
Advertisements 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


Jawbone and the air rifle
Who would think they would bring harm? 
Jawbone and the air rifle
One is cursed and one is gone

涙集めて 夜空へ返そう 揺らぐことない爱だけばらまけ Star dust 生きてるかどうか わかんなくなっちゃった夜は 星の见えない夜空にのみこまれてしまう 消えないで光 迷いそうな心が叫ぶ ただ君に会いたい 幻想 妄想 梦想の中を本気で疾走 体中の奇迹が目を覚ます 忘れないでひとりじゃないよ いつだって We are just a dreamer Take love, Get all love, Get back love in our hands 揺らぐことない爱だけばらまけ Star du
