"Stockades" Songtext
von Frog Eyes

Oh dear, you are the water,
And I lower myself into your water,
Like a mealy-mouthed calf that is suckered to the slaughter
Like a green serpent coiled upon the breast of your daughter
Oh did you ever think of the twice-cursed night?
Oh dear you are the water?
And I lower myself into your water,
Like a mealy-mouthed calf that is suckered to the slaughter, Like a prescription prescribed by the doctor who lives within the
Palisades of rain, oh I kiss you on the corner of your eye,
Between the masthead horizon and the suicide sway of the rustling rye
Oh I kiss you in the corner when you′re dry
Though the boats of Hong Kong do stockade London,
Oh I kiss you in the corner when we're dry
Though Sharon you sing for your pardon,


Did you ever sing on the twice-cursed night,
Did you ever suck on the teat of what was white,
Hold on and hold on and hold all along
To the B′s and the breeze
Oh B Oh B Oh B
When you bottom the boats, the weeds deign to sigh,
But the Admirals "chicken," the General's "chicken"
How painful they rise.
