Midnight Directives |
| Cross her off the shortlist |
| My blood is a red-winged bird |
| The way will be lit by the bridges we burn, oh |
| And come, tornado! |
| Carry me away from the croft |
| Ruffle my hair, bear my body aloft, oh |
| As the cutlass came down on a Saturday night |
| Left an un-planted field, left my daughter and wife |
| Called away into service, for a clerical life |
| Left an un-planted field, left my daughter and wife |
| Thought I was a sad-boy |
| Now I know, I know, I know I was wrong |
| Since you came along, I can see how content I had been |
| It’ll drive a man crazy to age from the outside in |
| But I have a plan, it’s a trick with a prick of a pin |
| And as the cutlass came down on a Saturday night |
| Left an un-planted field, left my daughter and wife |
| Called away into service, for a clerical life |
| Left an un-planted field, left my daughter and wife |
| For a man can be bought, and a man can be sold |
| And the price of a hundred thousand unwatered souls |
| Is a bit of meat and a bit of coal |
| It’s a bit of meat and a bit of coal |
| It’s a little bit of meat and coal |
