Verdi Cries |
The man in 119 takes his tea alone |
Mornings we all rise to wireless verdi cries |
I’m hearing opera through the door |
The souls of men and women, impassioned all |
Their voices climb and fall; |
battle trumpets call |
I fill the bath and climb inside, singing |
He will not touch their pastry |
But every day they bring him more |
Gold from the breakfast tray, i steal them all away |
And then go and eat them on the shore |
I draw a jackal-headed woman in the sand |
Sing of a lover’s fate sealed by jealous hate |
Then wash my hand in the sea |
With just three days more I’d have just |
About learned the entire score to aida |
Holidays must end as you know |
All is memory taken home with me |
The opera, the stolen tea, the sand drawing |
The verging sea, all years ago |
