Lyrics:
I've got sand in my joints
I'm counting the grains
And they're so sharp
I'm feeling the pain
I'm like King Canute's daughter
I'm a lamb
Please salute
Salute the descendants
We're the descendants of King Canute
We're the descendants
We're the descendants of King Canute
Oh boy, from left
was the summer wine
Watch how the waves must shatter
Watch how the shore divides
Watch how the nets will tatter
Watch Canute and his bride
Where was the summer wine?
Watch how the waves must shatter
Watch how the shore divides
Watch how the nets will tatter
Watch Canute and his bride
was the summer wine
Watch how the waves must shatter
Watch how the shore divides
Watch how the nets will tatter
Watch Canute and his bride
and the tide turns tail
She’s Queen Canute.
The congregation gathers as she goes into a speech
While the bodies of her suitors get washed up along the beach
But
wine
Watch how the waves must shatter
Watch how the shore divides
Watch how the nets will tatter
Watch Canute and his bride
Watch how the shore divides
Watch how the nets will tatter
Watch Canute and his bride
Just as you sow you shall reap
Just as you sow you shall reap
to deep
Tell me tonight
Please bring me back
To where we have been
And trust me again
There's no way to escape this sorrow
King Canute can't stop the tide
Where was the summer wine?
Watch how the waves must shatter
Watch how the shore divides
Watch how the nets will tatter
Watch Canute and his bride
to take you back
Stubbed a cigarette out on his hand
Scrawls her name across the sand
But it disappears like King Canute
The tide didn't like his
King Canute
You'll be walking back alone
Tonight he'll dine on oysters
While we fall like green acorns
We'll be putting down our roots
Right in
on the highway, they make me paranoid
I've got to get me out of Canute 'fore they give me the boot
I've got to get me out of Canute 'fore they give me the boot
the shore divides
Watch how the nets will tatter
Watch Canute and his bride
Just as you sow you shall reap
Just as you sow you shall reap
In harvest home
my nuts, you just wan' play the flute
I'm the ruler of this shit, so call me Prince Canute
Wait a second, that ain't right
Now, it's King Canute
Tried
Bruni si sorridono i denti
Lampeggiano tempie canute
E nella sala sappiamo,
C’è l’ossario.
I nostri figli sono andati
Come i nostri anni
E ci sorridono
the time pass
Watching the time pass
I hear a voice and in my mind's eye I see a smile
Chasing shadows, playing Canute just for a while
Just for a while
Non capisco le vostre battute
Qua chi sbaglia sono sempre io
Puoi frugar tra le guance canute
E chieder qualcosa
Un abbraccio, un addio
Quando parlo,
tra i periodi di un pendolo dall'usata cadenza
o le discese di un dondolo nella solita stanza
dentro ciglia canute orlate di bianco
tra le scarpe
Everyone fall down now
And the rats are leaving - the fattest rats remain
King Canute in a business suit - circling the drain
And the money makers -
For the echos of the past
We're all hungry
For the hours that didn't last
It'll all fade into nothing
Even though we do protest
Like Canute against
the shifting sands
It's out with old
And it's on with new
You can't hold back the tide
Like Canute
The old order is through
The old order is through
The tables
Just because
Because we can - we do (Because we can)
We do
We're carving up the countryside
Now that the car is king
Canute couldn't do it and he knew
forgive myself for every mistake
I walk along the shoreline
Canute upon the beach
Unable to hold back the very consequence of me
Lungs don't work
