los campesinos - selling rope (swan dive to estuary) كلمات الأغنية
as i swan dive into the estuary, the birds do not flinch at my fall
they perch in the rafters, before, during, after: they do not notice me at all
as i float down into the estuary, wind cases my body in cool
i smell petrol fumes, see the smoke rise in plumes: the earth is one big fireball
anecdote, lie
my own alibi
i’ve been telling jokes
piled notes high
my own alibi
i’ve been selling rope
as i break the film of the estuary, the seaweed submerges my form
no p-ssing cars stop, not a single jaw drops, as my wallet and keys sink before.
a splash all i left in the world
once held a magpie in the palm of my hand and the blood in our veins flowed faster, as i’d planned
got a heart full of love and a head full of more but a fist full of threads from the seams
and i saw a smile in that beak.
oh i was a bird right then, one day i will be again
i’ve been telling jokes while selling rope to you
there’s no ticker-tape, no golden gate
no carnival and no parade
just one, one for sorrow
