lyrics
I typed up a letter, meant to send, but thought better
Oh how he sang to me
Three notes a melody
And I keep hearing that flat Flemish fugue
And I leaned on a lamppost, scoffing my lunch
Chewing on a little word
Chewing on a little word
To the effect that he'd marry soon
Oh my blonde Dragoon at Montecassino
I swam in the river, felt the chill in my liver
Latterly shut my gob
Got straight and took a job
'Cos I was fearing a long solitude
And I leaned on a lamppost, halfway from home
Waiting on a certain girl,
Waiting on a shiny maiden
'Cos fairies must take an interest
Give that mind a rest from Montecassino
On the day that you come
I'll be strong and handsome
And the light will pay heed to its training
When this woman that I meet tells me
"You look empty and beat"
Set her straight, animate what’s remaining
Oh, will I ever glimmer again?
I wrote him a letter, turned it into a feather
And now it floats for me over the Zuider Zee
And I keep hearing, I keep hearing that flat Flemish fugue
And I'm still fearing, I'm still fearing a long solitude
So I lay at a bus-stop on my way home
Wondering about results
Wondering about how
Actions produce all manner of results
Shipping some insults
And falling asleep-o
Oh Montecassino
One extended piece or a 10 song cycle. Great discipline and vision; fantastic arrangements and playing; another idea every 10 seconds; clever, heartfelt and poetic lyrics. You're entering Groomworld. Land Lovers
A pop hit! And for several good reasons. Every track is a tasty piece of work. The songs soar. Hook after hook, groove after groove, this is a party record for weirdos and you! Land Lovers
