about

lyrics

Land told water and water told sky
Sky told sun and sun asked why
Sun asked father why sister had gone
Sister had gone to look for sun
Mother had died while giving birth
And was buried with her child down in the dirt
Dirt asked when the rain would come
Rain could come when sun had gone
Sun would go and rain would fall
Mud would slide and children would die
Slag would smother any trace of life
Womb would comfort the outcast life

Still some time before it's due
Developed in a hurry on their honeymoon
She will laugh and he will smile
Friends again for at least a while
Half-past five time to close the shop
Business is good his wife is not
Ten past six and his back at home
Nothing on the telly so he's all alone
She's run off with his neighbours wife
Left the money in the bank but taken his life
Samaritan's engaged on the telephone
Piece of rope and he's never alone

Not much left and the price is high
Supply and demand are the judges of pride
Not much room for purveyors of art
Pretentious crap done without any heart
Someone asked where the hope had gone
Hope had gone when money had come
Someone asked when Christ had died
Christ he died when religion came alive
Put the basket in the back and get in the car
We'll beat the build up of the traffic if we get away fast
Land told water and water told sky
Sky told sun and sun knew why
And water told land that sky would come
Rain would follow after the sun
Father told sun and sun asked why
Why his mother had to die
