Lyrics for Many Icebergs Ago

Down the ten bells Electric sparks gave me stirrings below Many icebergs ago Down the ten bells She let down her hair like slow snow Many icebergs ago At the bow bells With a tight sullen mouth You firmly said no Many no's ago In the Dundee arms I said My wood withers on a stern You said yes we know Many icebergs ago Down the ten bells I was horrified to find I enjoyed it so Many goes ago Up the green man I had begun to grow old An abandoned chateau Many merlots ago Down the white heart I lounge awaiting Rousseau Outgrow the tarot Many icebergs ago In the grave Morris A A smile with a twist Was a brand new plateau Many many's ago Mistress mattress In just one lunchtime I grow What can anyone know What can anyone know In the sea bright arms I must be murdered I suppose Eleven p.m. woe Many fractures ago I am different with you Than with others I know I was waiting for light Iceberg flow I dreamt of a dream So mechanically male He's a machine He was frightened though At the blind beggar you Glance the yes that means no Just slinking away I am tired ma Until I'm given the kiss The kiss that lies It's too swift and too dry So what else but goodbye
