49th Parallel |
| Chorus: Think I’ll have lines on my face |
| When i get out of this placE |
| So I guess I’ll be ever so carefull |
| It wouldn’t help to deny |
| I’m well advised to comply |
| By the rules or be ever so tearful |
| I caught a vulture, he came up behind me I put a chain on his claws |
| I caught another — been trying to find me I slit a vein in his jaws |
| Tied the two of them up with guitar-strings (only fed them a bone) |
| Grinned and put my hands in my pockets |
| To drift away to a land of my own |
| Chorus: Think I’ll have lines on my face |
| When i get out of this placE |
| So I guess I’ll be ever so carefull |
| It wouldn’t help to deny |
| I’m well advised to comply |
| By the rules or be ever so tearful |
| We played a game of Cowards and Heroes |
| We lay the rules on the floor |
| But then we spoke of flowers and quiros |
| It ended up in a draw |
| But all the time they were bound and belittled |
| I wouldn’t let them go. |
| go, go ! |
| I only want to use them for skittles |
| And drift away to a land of my own |
| They were begging over and over; |
| «If we behave can we feed ?» |
| began to throw them piece of clover |
| And said;"Now count the leaves !" |
| I realised it was only a battle |
| And went to look for the war (haw ! haw !) |
| My brains began then to rattle |
| and drift away to a land of their own |
