New Whaling Songtext
von Bonnie “Prince” Billy

Oh once I had a partner but now that is done.
I made awful actions that I thought were fun.
Here years have come on, and I live like a king.
Like a monarch who rules over all that he sings.
Over none will come near me
and fewer will stay back.
They know what I′ve done
and where my fate lies.
I started in old world,
have come down to new.
and all my actions and my behaviors, and my beliefs
They come with me too. There had been a time when
the world knew my name.
They may know it somewhere still
but I ain't the same.
The barefoot, the stupid, the cute and the shod
have bowed and been broken by meor by god.
There′s no rest for the wicked
and less for the good
no fear for the mongrels
that do what we should.
I ended her, ended him, ended it all.
I ended her, ended him, ended it all.


These are my conclusions from under the sun.
Once I had a partner, but now that is done.
(So far and here we are.)
