Banjo Lyrics
There's something that I'm watching, means a lot to me
There's something that I'm watching, means a lot to me.
It's a broken angel bopping, on the dark infested sea
It's a broken angel bopping, on the dark infested sea.
Don't know how it got there, maybe taken by the waves
Don't know how it got there, probably taken by the waves
But the sun won't show there, over someones grave
But the sun won't show there, over someones grave.
It's coming for me now, matter where I go
It's coming for me now, matter where I go,
It's duty is to harm me, my duty is to know
It's duty is to harm me, my duty is to know.
There's something that I'm watching, means a lot to me
There's something that I'm watching, means a lot to me.
It's a broken angel bopping, on the dark infested sea
It's a broken angel bopping, on the dark infested sea.
There's something that I'm watching, means a lot to me.
It's a broken angel bopping, on the dark infested sea
It's a broken angel bopping, on the dark infested sea.
Don't know how it got there, probably taken by the waves
But the sun won't show there, over someones grave
But the sun won't show there, over someones grave.
It's coming for me now, matter where I go,
It's duty is to harm me, my duty is to know
It's duty is to harm me, my duty is to know.
There's something that I'm watching, means a lot to me.
It's a broken angel bopping, on the dark infested sea
It's a broken angel bopping, on the dark infested sea.

The Banjo reached the shore 11th November 2016. Vale wonderful poet and musician.
I'm reminded of Treasure Island and the black spot. It's almost like he's saying when that broken banjo washes to his shore, he'll be dead.
