Lyrics Scott Walker

Scott Walker

Corps De Blah

Hence went and cracked an atom age old egg

Beneath my nose

The sky-clads ash with jettisoning the roost

I'm bumping into leghorns in the darkness

Excuse me

Dear god, excuse me

Accrue too flew and burned my teeth

With kitchen matches struck on stone

Boiling owls shriek

Arab widow flayed cadenzas

I'm wading through blue, vacant veins of Sterzing

The chiseller keeps slipping away

Cholesteroled mansions crowded with sulphured air

Dip to Kyrie's lone whistler in the shadows

Simitar sideburn, charging on the purple purlieus

Scrape to Goitres gray carnation through the stubble

Epicanthic knobbler of ninon

Arch to Macaronic mahout in the mascon

Ah, my old scabby Sachem

A sphinters tooting our tune

If only 'I' could pick you

Wed slosh, wed slide, we'd cling

'Round a kelloggs floor

His severed, yellow-eyes weeping

Da da da, da da da

From the spit-roast smoke curling

Da da da, da da da

"Rack off from this ravished slather"

"Keep your vile rattus small adult hand to yourself"

"Take your turnshoes and wobble"

"Turnshoes and wobble"

Jihad jive lobs leaking beanbag

Through a cut-out clowns astonished mouth

Shrivelled pods climb to the sun

Beneath your skirts

Then suddenly, there's hissing on the gumbo

I'm drowning in yonical tears

Grinding upheaval

Always affects the genitals

Sniff to breaths bereft Manhattans in the Duma

Unleavened bread-head

The window behind, alive with wheeze driven flakes

Bob to rotting grapes bunch brooch on chest of bruises

Nothing clears a room like removing a brain

Hail the rain

Hail the rain

Hail the rain

Ah, my sweet Sagamore wino

Face full of drunken ticks

If only I could sip you

Like flies sip at wide eyes

On a desert floor

We could move to the sticks

Say Earl's Court or Embankment

While the Thames flows black as camel piss

Let the icy thermals dervish around our feet

Dare, step out on me

I'll step out on you

Dare, step out on me

I'll step out on you

Bish Bosch and what more

Aare depositions for?

Eukaryotic gobbler of gavotte

Knee to deafening tiny feet upon the branches

Altair, Vega, Drogba and Deneb

Doff to dentist's stoop of moon above the haunches

Sealable nostrils

Squeezed through eye of coupling pin

Heil to ober-bearing night starting to smoulder

First fiddlers mark

Right there, under the jaw

Nod to double-bladed axe

Poised over shoulder
