Fatima Mansions - Look What I Stole For Us, Darling Lyrics
[irish news report:] (the air corps helicopter took a five-year-old girl from achain island...)Aodhagan went hunting for food and moneyThrough the streets of walthamstowBut the dim sunday passed with nary a catchAnd the dogs came home aloneEat me now...(we inspect our genitalia on a regular basis.)(Im) attacking the ones who are weakest of allOn their dim walk to work with their eyes slit so smallFor the dawn and the path and their shekels of mineFortune wont smile, I must be brutal or dieNow I live by the railway with the rest of the covenIn a hovel vibrating lit by tandoori ovensWhere we keep the ransomeesWe get raided on fridays, we get drunk when they leave usWe discuss ways to die, ways we could have gone wrongWe dont mention the nowWe can see no way outWe draw skulls on the wallsWe draw blood from our ballsWe play catch with the rats(still) the silence wont crack though we heave and we hackLook what I stole! look what I stole for us, darling!Look what I stole! look what I stole for us, darling!Maybe were dead, I forgotTheyre hunting us, so maybe notOh, let us mention her torso: heat, electrical chaosIf it burst she would die, oh, oh, ohWasnt it kind of her to let me in?Will it get fat when its olderGet all riddled with cancerWhile she stays the same person who is *****ing me now?See the view from above of the sofa of loveWith the roof cut away, cars and people out thereAnd the stains spreading out and out, blood running coldLook what I stole! look what I stole for us, darling!Look what I stole! look what I stole for us, darling!We used to be human beings--not anymore!Ill have her washed and brought to youSo you, my wife, can know her, too!
