Lyrics:
When my love said to me
Meet me down by the gallow tree
For it's sad news I bring
About this old town and all that it's offering
Some say
Beat up little seagull
On a marble stair
Tryin' to find the ocean
Lookin' everywhere
Hard times in the city
In a hard town by the sea
Ain't
I talked to my sister in Memphis
And told her you were movin' to town
Here's her number
She said she'd be glad to show you around
I left a map
Beat up little seagull
On a marble stair
Tryin' to find the ocean
Lookin' everywhere
Hard times in the city
In a hard town by the sea
Ain't
a lady fair as you go by the town Sir
You must not fear the dewy grass or
The rumpling grass of her gown Sir
Down deary down down deary down
And if you
About an hour north of Melbourne
By the mountains in the bush and scrub
There is a little town called St Andrews
With a big old country pub
And I've
a little havoc (drink from the leche of sirens)
It's fun when shit hits the fan
So guillotine their heads by shouting (summon the sailors in town)
Cut 'em
clean
Sisters, sing
Listen Sisters, truth is whispering
Hear it in the quiet guidance
Listen Sisters, let it lead you
Step by step into the silence
before
And I'm sure the words that I heard then
Were much the same
It's just an old Greek tragedy they're acting here
Held over by popular acclaim
So
hideaway truly
Hideaway hideaway truly
My country got
Raped by big industry
We'll just have to wing it
The concrete strips raw greed and king tv
They
men aspire to be Scarfaces
In the year of the dragon lots of men disappear
Quiet as it's kept they won't be back next year
Late at night
home and give her your jacket
Makin' it to second base, but sayin' you went all the way
Monday afternoon at practice
Sisters got a boyfriend daddy
a good thing you don't have busfare
it would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground
Walking to the town to find
men aspire to be Scarfaces
In the year of the dragon lots of men disappear
Quiet as it's kept they won't be back next year
Late at night
Uh
1st & (1st &) 15th (15th)
Woah, uh!
Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor
Is lovingly, hand-crafted and done
By the good folks, at 1st & 15th, yeah!
And Lazarus was his name
The Bible says he was
A man that Jesus loved
And his sisters thought
It was a shame
Mary and Martha longed
For Jesus healing touch
find a job
So they said farewell and stole a small town car.
As they were riding by the beach some summer night
The radio shouted out one of those
He trod a path that few have trod
Did Sweeney Todd
The demon barber of Fleet street
He kept a shop in London Town
Of fancy clients and good
hand, said, we're not those kind of men
It's peace and quiet that we need to go back to work again
Joey, Joey
King of the streets, child of clay
Joey,
the blame"
But Joey stepped up, he raised his hand, said, "We're not those kind of men
It's peace and quiet that we need to go back to work again"
Joey,
Lord, I've never lived where churches grow
I loved creation better as it stood
That day you finished it so long ago
And looked upon your work
sister
Cryin' cause she doesn't have a dress
Without a patch, for the party to go
Oh, but she knows, she'll get by
She is... Livin' In The Love
Lord, I've never lived where churches grow
I loved creation better as it stood
That day you finished it so long ago
And looked upon your work
My sister got bit by a copperhead snake
In the woods behind the house
Nobody was home so I grabbed her foot
And I sucked that poison out
