Look what i stole for us, darling


[irish news report:] (the air corps helicopter took a five-year-old girl from achain island...)

Aodhagan went hunting for food and money
Through the streets of walthamstow
But the dim sunday passed with nary a catch
And the dogs came home alone
Eat me now...
(we inspect our genitalia on a regular basis.)

(Im) attacking the ones who are weakest of all
On their dim walk to work with their eyes slit so small
For the dawn and the path and their shekels of mine
Fortune wont smile, I must be brutal or die

Now I live by the railway with the rest of the coven
In a hovel vibrating lit by tandoori ovens
Where we keep the ransomees
We get raided on fridays, we get drunk when they leave us
We discuss ways to die, ways we could have gone wrong
We dont mention the now
We can see no way out
We draw skulls on the walls
We draw blood from our balls
We play catch with the rats
(still) the silence wont crack though we heave and we hack

Look 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 forgot
Theyre hunting us, so maybe not

Oh, let us mention her torso: heat, electrical chaos
If it burst she would die, oh, oh, oh
Wasnt it kind of her to let me in?
Will it get fat when its older
Get all riddled with cancer
While she stays the same person who is fucking me now?
See the view from above of the sofa of love
With the roof cut away, cars and people out there
And the stains spreading out and out, blood running cold

Look 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 you
So you, my wife, can know her, too!

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Fatima Mansions were an art rock group formed in 1988 by Cathal Coughlan, a singer/keyboardist from Cork, formerly of Microdisney. The band's name came from a working-class housing estate in Rialto, Dublin, where John Roberts lived. Their sound blended art rock, post-punk and electronic music, with often introspective and poetic lyrics. Notable tracks include "The Ballad of the Fatima Mansions", "A Little Bit of Heaven" and "The Last Day of Summer". The group released three studio albums: "The Fatima Mansions" (1989), "The Second Coming" (1990) and "The Great Escape" (1992).
