Zippy morocco


Zippy morocco with a hat on his head
Set sail for the seven seas
When his mother took to dead

Barely out of teenagedom
When his mental map was unfurled
The next thing that he knew
He found himself halfway around the world

With nobody to send exotic postcards to
With nobody to send exotic postcards to

Zippy morocco as the admiral of fleet
Might've been wet behind the ears
But he certainly was fast on his feet

Put down a mutiny at the edge of the earth
He knew the value of the swirling sun
He never overestimated his own worth

It was the grief that whetted his appetite
It was the grief that whetted his appetite
And the waves they do not tell you welcome
And the sand on the shore
Does not spell out a hello
Salutations they are below the surface
Listen to zippy morocco, he says,
"that is what i know"

Zippy morocco as the perfect pragmatist
Had a hold on the astronomical odds
And he knew what to risk

Staked a million on an easterly wind
Collected the holy city
Now the horse traders come to him

With their beads and cheese and horses
With their beads and cheese and horses

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics ZIPPY MOROCCO of VIC CHESNUTT is also present in the album Silver lake (2003)

Biografia

Vic Chesnutt (1964-2009) was an American singer-songwriter considered one of the most important artists in the indie music scene of the 1990s. Born in Georgia, Chesnutt faced life with extraordinary determination despite being paraplegic due to an accident during his childhood. His music, characterized by introspective lyrics and melancholic folk-rock melodies, explored themes such as pain, loss, hope, and the search for meaning in a world often cruel. Chesnutt collaborated with numerous independent artists, including Neutral Milk Hotel and The Drive-By Truckers. Some of his most representative songs include "About to Walk on", "Flirting with Ghosts" and "The Man Who Loved Beer". His album "West of Rome" (1996) is considered a masterpiece of contemporary American folk.
