Shanty Song |
| Fallow from the loss of sun |
| Fields turn into spoil |
| And sought along the arid plains |
| For food left in the soil |
| And all the mothers, fathers with |
| Their water and their wood |
| Give life to an inheritor |
| Relieved not understood |
| I come from a line of crooks |
| Bitter and brittle men |
| So I won’t be around when those |
| Wedding bells ring |
| But I’m mean and marked up enough |
| To give you my hand |
| With none of my roots showing |
| So leave me a little privacy |
| Don’t call, don’t come around at all |
| Leave me a little decency |
| And call off all your dogs |
| Or their collars are coming off |
| Following the loss of laws |
| Saying in their turn |
| For every man to live his life |
| She’ll have to last and burn |
| And all the brothers, sisters, mothers |
| Fathers and their sons, will |
| Be passed along the daily deal |
| Alike the day before |
| La da, da da, da da, da da, la da |
| Don’t get like that |
| Don’t recoil back in silence |
| All that I ask is just a couple of seconds |
| In private |
| Leave me a little privacy |
| Don’t call, don’t come around at all |
| Leave me a little decency |
| And call off all your dogs |
| Oh, I’m sorry darlin', you’re just gonna have to choose |
| It’s either me or the elephant in the room |
| I can’t stand to lose ya, I can’t stand to lose ya |
| But it’s either me or the elephant in the room |
