Saving all the waitresses
Cause they've all got longing in their eyes
Little acorn becomes the mighty oak
The oak throws its seeds to the sky
Drive your car up to the pole
That's as far as you can go
Take your coat off when you know
To warm you bones in the northern snow
Drop a feather in the water
What the ocean gives the sky will take
Killing swans with twenty-one guns
Just to see them fall into the lake
When driving up the coast
To your left is a black mass
Drive your car until you see
To wet your tongue with the salty sea
Float your paper boat up the creek
And watch the waves from its wake
Killing swans with twenty-one guns
Just to see them fall to see them break
Drive your car up to the pole
That's as far as you can go
Take your coat off when you know
To warm you bones in the northern snow
In the northern snow
In the northern snow
In the northern snow
In the northern snow

Gave it a 2 Here Comes the Sun at 1/2 beat. (More of a quick guess - Had to hit mute button to spare my meagre grains of remaining sanity.)

I couldn't put my finger on it....but you're right! There's a lot of very similar aspects of this song, but in this instance the sum is definately less than the parts. |

| Spliff (Mountain Home, AR) | Posted: Jul 19, 2004 - 09:59 The swan line is disturbing. I don't care to think of shooting birds for the fun of it or to hear this song again. |
