Oh Heartland, Up Yours! Lyrics

Lyric discussion by kmere 

Cover art for Oh Heartland, Up Yours! lyrics by Owen Pallett

Some corrections based on the lyrics that came with the cd:

"From the wight lying in the barrow"

"Oh, you wrote me like a Disney kid"

"it doesn't suit a simoniac breeder"

and the violent lent part should be "My homeland"

Lyric Correction

Owens lyrics are so poetic, with every line rich in meaning. I think this particular song has an attitude of separatism. A kind of disenchantment with some ones circumstances in their immediate environment - necessitating a change or revolt.
