To the Lighthouse Lyrics
So many guillotines and yet,
I have never lost my head.
Like Cassius Clay back in Zaire,
it is my wits that brought me here.
I never thought that it would show
that there’s a leak in every boat.
And this one is sinking,
I’m sure it’s sinking now.
Somewhere there’s a lighthouse,
but the light has gone out.
And if it’s sinking,
if this boat is sinking now,
You’d steal the sea I’m in.
You'd steal the sea...
You cut and my heart broke in two,
but separately each part still grew.
Now one is false and one is true;
the first of these I ascribe to you.
I stole the hearts from the rich girls,
and gave them to the poor.
I wish I could steal them all back,
in case I’d find a shore.
‘Cause this boat is sinking,
I’m sure it’s sinking now.
Off to the lighthouse,
I must find it somehow.
And if it’s sinking,
if this boat is sinking now...
You’ll steal the sea I’m in.
You’ll steal the sea I'm in.
I have never lost my head.
Like Cassius Clay back in Zaire,
it is my wits that brought me here.
that there’s a leak in every boat.
And this one is sinking,
I’m sure it’s sinking now.
Somewhere there’s a lighthouse,
but the light has gone out.
if this boat is sinking now,
You’d steal the sea I’m in.
You'd steal the sea...
but separately each part still grew.
Now one is false and one is true;
the first of these I ascribe to you.
and gave them to the poor.
I wish I could steal them all back,
in case I’d find a shore.
I’m sure it’s sinking now.
Off to the lighthouse,
I must find it somehow.
if this boat is sinking now...
You’ll steal the sea I’m in.
You’ll steal the sea I'm in.

Elsker den her sang! ja, det er da bedre, end at der overhovedet ikke står noget
Minder btw lidt om Spleen United's "Heroin unlimited" eller noget gammelt mew
Jeg har ikke læst Virginia Woolfs bog "to the lighthouse", men det ville passe fantastisk ind at moi caprice referede til hende.
