Lyrics Farmer in the city Scott Walker

Farmer in the city

Do i hear
21
21
21

i'll give you
21
21
21

Do i hear
21
21
21

i'll give you
21
21
21

This night you
are mistaken
i'm a farmer
in the city

Dark farm
houses
against the
sky

Every night
i must wonder why

Harness on the
left nail keeps
wrinkling wrinkling

Then higher above
me - e e so o
e e e so o o

Can't go by
a man from
Rio

Can't go by
a man from
Vigo

Can't go by
a man from
Ostia

Hey Ninetto

Remember that
dream

we talked about
it
so many times

Do i hear
21
21
21

i'll give you
21
21
21

Do i hear
21
21
21

i'll give you
21
21
21

And if i'm not
mistaken
We can search
from farm to
farm

Dark farm houses
against our eyes

Every night i
must realize

Harness on the
left nail

keeps withering withering

Then higher above
me e e so o
e e e so o o

Can't go by
a man in
this shirt

Can't go by
a man in
that shirt

Can't go by
a man with brain
grass

go by his long
long eye
gas

And i used
to be a
citizen

i never felt
the pressure

i knew nothing
of the horses

Nothing of the
thresher

Paulo
take me with
you

it was the
journey of
a life

Do i hear
21
21
21

i'll give you
21
21
21

Do i hear
21
21
21

i'll give you
21
21
