In The Limbs Of Things Songtext
But though they′re long since gone
Their songs at times still sweep the grounds
One's that came from far as down
With red glass sewn into their gowns
And with the beads about his hands each man would kneel there where you stand
And tap the crust that came to cross the stone
And all the stones around
Counts the limbs of things
The falling of the second light
Kicks at one that′s kicking yet
This cunt's for seizing up all night
Alone
The palms that's pressed in prayer
The hands that′s tearing at the hair all down the side
1662
The ribbons round the yews
The ribbons grey and blue
1982
The grins of you
Sure the devil′s just pure looking outta you
Thon's where I was born
And Joan and Joe was all that knew
Twists a heel towards the red brick
Black tags on both the shoes
And he′s been held in that same ward, he says, going on now eighteen days
It's a different sort of ward now
Different sorts of weans being born in different ways
There was five in full
And half of one was shovelled up
And the ground had bruised around them
And the cries had marked the muck
And for thirteen fucking years them five and one half′s all he hears
Till the gas that wrecked his lungs
At last it done the thing it always should've done
1941
Sixth battalion
And the rifles raised, the cheering on, go on
1953
And they raid the coat for smokes and this one′s bouncing on the knee
2014
There's those that cross the screen
Those got hid between the rows and those were seen
2013
Gloves all Vicks and Vaseline
Ones that's coming up or coming down or coming onto me
It′s all Market Street that′s closed, she says
Fuck only knows
There's trucks was stopped and vans upturned
And tyres were burned to block the roads
I took hold an hour was mine or maybe mine
Spoke such things as woke the oak
The things that choked and churned
The yearning of the vines
2019
The things that you have been
The things you′ve seen but do not know you've seen
2015
And the cry
Rebecca, please
Pull back your hands
No, bring your both hands nearder me
Please
Their songs at times still sweep the grounds
One's that came from far as down
With red glass sewn into their gowns
And with the beads about his hands each man would kneel there where you stand
And tap the crust that came to cross the stone
And all the stones around
Counts the limbs of things
The falling of the second light
Kicks at one that′s kicking yet
This cunt's for seizing up all night
Alone
The palms that's pressed in prayer
The hands that′s tearing at the hair all down the side
1662
The ribbons round the yews
The ribbons grey and blue
1982
The grins of you
Sure the devil′s just pure looking outta you
Thon's where I was born
And Joan and Joe was all that knew
Twists a heel towards the red brick
