Jason and the Argonauts — текст песни (Xtc)

(Andy Partridge)

There may be no golden fleece,
But human riches I`ll release

Oh, my head is spinning like the world and it`s filled with beasts I`ve seen,
Let me put my bag down and I`ll tell you it all right from the start,
Like the scarlet woman who would pick on the boys she thought were green,
And the two faced man who made a hobby of breaking his wife`s heart.

Seems the more I travel,
From the foam to gravel,
As the nets unravel,
All exotic fish I find like Jason and the Argonauts

There may be no golden fleece,
But human riches I`ll release

I was in a land where men force women to hide their facial features,
And here in the west it`s just the same but they`re using make-up veils.
I`ve seen acts of every shade of terrible crime from man-like creatures,
And I`ve had the breath of liars blowing me off course in my sails.

Seems the more I travel,
From the foam to gravel,
As the nets unravel,
All exotic fish I find like Jason and the Argonauts

There may be no golden fleece,
But human riches I`ll release.

I have watched the manimals go by
Buying shoes, buying sweets, buying knives.
I have watched the manimals and cried
Buying time, buying ends to other peoples lives.

Jason and the Argonauts

There may be no golden fleece,
But human riches I`ll release.

Jason and the Argonauts

There may be no golden fleece,
But human riches I`ll release.
