Lyrics Falklands/Malvinas - Emperor X

Falklands/Malvinas

You denigrate when the cover is off
You peeled it back, it felt dusty
You were too young to break
But the target was soft
Now the ordinance tossed into rough seas
Got too wet to take
So it had to be tossed
Now the island is lost
And the Falklands absorbed in Malvinas
Seems great send the base through the top
Bit the foam and the froth and it disgusts me
The target signs won’t help
They’re calling off the heliport we used
They cancelled all their flights
And traded in their rotor blades for views
You tried to win but your earplugs were in
It’s the unpardonable sin so you sprinted back
And found out about the trouble in dereliction
And then we
Bark barked
Meow meowed
And overturned the zoning laws
The council broke cause the agenda was thin
So we complained about the eviction
We climbed atop a hill
And spat down at the newly empty town
The words we heard were shrill
The signs we saw enough to lure us down
We conked out on the porch
Our hands were wrapped around the carcass of a sound?
We woke up staring at the beachhead
My God!
who put those landmines underground?
Bark bark!
Meow meow!
Bark bark!
Meow meow!
Bark bark!
(bark bark!)
Meow meow!
Falklands, Malvinas
Falklands, Malvinas
Falklands, Malvinas
Falklands
No no no Malvinas!
