Topsy's Revenge Lyrics
The rumour's around, I won't last long now
My cigarette tongue
Has ended my days
Know it was wrong, I wasn't made for stage
Didn't mean harm
Didn't mean harm
Someday all these lights will burn down on me
Someday all these lights will burn down on me
I tried to be strong
Tried to be so brave
It's gonna be hung
Then they said that's no way
It was gonna be fun
Got creative ways now
It's gonna be shown
In a cinema way
The people will come
From miles around
And when it was done
My feet were on fire
My feet were on fire
My feet were on fire
Some day I will come back
And burn it all down
Some day I will come back
And burn it all down
Some day I will come back
And burn it all down
Some day I will come back
And burn it all down
Some day I will come back
And burn it all down
Some day I will come back
And burn it all down
My cigarette tongue
Has ended my days
Didn't mean harm
Didn't mean harm
Someday all these lights will burn down on me
Tried to be so brave
It's gonna be hung
Then they said that's no way
Got creative ways now
It's gonna be shown
In a cinema way
The people will come
From miles around
And when it was done
My feet were on fire
My feet were on fire
My feet were on fire
And burn it all down
Some day I will come back
And burn it all down
Some day I will come back
And burn it all down
Some day I will come back
And burn it all down
Some day I will come back
And burn it all down
Some day I will come back
And burn it all down

I thought this beautiful song was pretty sad before I knew what it was about, though I misinterpreted it as a song about someone dying of cancer. The truth, however, was infinitely sadder, copy this link to wikipedia into your browser to see, it's unbelievable... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topsy_(elephant)
WOAH !!! Thats F**ked !!! I mean Its just crazy to think about something like that would happen... But then again we do live in very different times. Being from a Land Down under I guess we are a lot more naive to some aspects of foreign history. But I do try not to be ignorant of it.
